THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nikki and Claire Take Down Jordan; What Did You Think of the Episode?
Tuesday’s episode of The Young and the Restless did what it has done best in recent months, and that is stick with one story all the way through the show. It has accomplished this when continuing the battle between the Newmans, and the truly off her rocker, Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk), and now the young woman who we come to understand why she went off her rocker, Claire (Hayley Erin).
In the midst of all of this is a tour de force performance by Melody Thomas Scott who has returned to the boozin’ Nikki Newman we all love, thanks to the machinations of Jordan and Claire.
As the story picks up, Nikki stumbles into the broken down cabin Jordan has lured her to. Jordan comes into the room with gun in tow ready to kill Nikki once and for all, Jordan tells Nikki she is appalled that she’s such a sloppy drunk and wonders how many years of sobriety she’s happily managed to destroy.

Jordan questions why on earth Nikki would show up, unarmed and with no back-up. Nikki explains she came for her daughter, Victoria’s sake. She knows she has Claire. Jordan wonders how far Nikki willing to go for her daughter.
Nikki tells Jordan that she has already had her revenge on her by driving her back to the bottle. After strolling down memory lane about Jordan’s sister, Eve Howard, and throwing barbs at one another, Jordan says watching Nikki die will make it all worthwhile and watching the grief it will bestow on her family.
Pulling out a bottle of Vodka, she gets Nikki to drink from it, telling her how pitiful she is as she guzzles it down. Nikki asks if Claire is really at the cabin, or if this was all a set-up? Nikki even questions if Claire is in this with her, and Nikki is, once again, being the one set up.

Next, Jordan brings into the room a sedated and drugged out Claire in a wheelchair. Jordan pressures Nikki to finish off the bottle of booze so that this can all end. Just then, Claire starts to move as Jordan goes to check on her. Nikki grabs the bottle of booze, and smashes it over Jordan’s head. Nikki tries to rescue Claire, but Jordan jumps up and tackles Nikki down to the floor.
As Nikki and Jordan choke each other and have a stand off against the wall, Claire yells for them to stop it. When the women look over to Claire she is holding a gun on them. Claire orders Aunt Jordan to let go of Nikki.

At this point, Jordan (in another great performance by Colleen Zenk) tells her not to believe the Newmans and especially Nikki. She tells Claire they are each others family and that they only have each other. Nikki tells her not to believe a word Jordan is saying. Jordan’s only rebuttal is telling Claire that she’s in for a bitter disappointment if she thinks the Newmans will ever let her into the family, and if she puts the gun down now, they can walk away together.
Breaking down in tears, Claire says that she knows she would have been loved if she hadn’t been taken from the Newmans at birth. Instead, Jordan taught her how to hate and seek revenge. Claire says that prison is too good for Aunt Jordan and that she’d escape a mental hospital, too. Jordan tries to get Claire to shoot Nikki as sirens blare in the background. Claire can’t pull the trigger. Jordan tells her she’s weak. Next, Nikki chimes in with, “Will you just shut up!” Then, she shoves Jordan right into the fireplace where she hits her head and goes unconscious. Nikki is able to talk Claire down to get her to give her the gun.

The police arrive as do Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nick (Joshua Morrow). As she is being led out in handcuffs, Jordan tells Claire that she broke her heart. Claire fires back that she broke her entire life! Nikki orders them to get Jordan out of their sight. With Jordan gone, Nikki explains to Victor and Nick that Claire saved her life.
Victor says, “Then we owe you a debt of gratitude.” Nikki pipes up with how she and Victor, Cole (J. Eddie Peck) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle), will make sure Jordan never hurts her again. Just then, in a touching turn by Hayley Erin, Claire breaks down in tears saying she’s so sorry for all she has done.
Now, the question becomes, is this the last we will see of Aunt Jordan? Will there be another plot shortly? What did you think of the performances of Melody Thomas Scott, Hayley Erin and Colleen Zenk within the episode? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
I applaud a good story but I would have liked more suspense. The whole plot twist here seemed sudden and out of the blue. I like the acting and actors, but we just had similar situation with Cameron months ago. How exciting it would have been for Jordan to come to Genoa City and ingratiate herself into the we scene with Clare, teasing us and leaving us wondering what might happen next. When the threat comes from within and plays put at home, not a distant state, it holds more stakes. There could have been collateral damage to others in GC. I hope we get gamechangers in character and storyline with Clare to Eve, and not an Adam Newman 2.0. Was nice to hear Victoria mention her other children during her talk with Cole.
One of the finest episodes ~ ever!
The episode was fantastic and i definitely want Aunt Jordan to stick around. My only beef is that the story was told way too fast. This is a story that could have taken a whole year to unravel, and it would have gone that way if Bill Bell had been alive to tell it.
I agree with you. However … soaps today don’t have that kind of time or money. Soaps are always just a step away from being cancelled and the writers and producers know it.
Also, viewers don’t have the patience or attention span. That is due to social media. If stories were dragged out how they used to be, everyone would have figured out the plot long before the resolution and it would just be boring, predictable, and redundant.
I like how they told this story! Wham!! Out of the blue! No spoilers, shocking! Suddenly all the Newman’s are embroiled in this dark, gothic mystery. Then it slowly made sense. It utilized all the vets. It was campy and over the top, but that was classic Bill Bell.
It is a bracing story and is a game changer for the Newman’s and the show itself!
I love the Jordan story I wish Claire wasn’t cole and Victoria daughter she could’ve gotten with Adam I’m so over Adam and Sally it not the same I don’t know why fans still love him the writer’s damaged both of their characters especially Sally
Not going to say one negative word everything has changed with daytime so be it! MTS looks fantastic her time to shine
I loved this whole story and am really sorry for the folks who didn’t care for or appreciate it. Nicki came through as I knew she would, it was her story from the beginning. She will have another granddaughter to dote on now and Super Girl can keep on doing what she does best, mess up other people’s lives.I wonder if Nicki will go into Rehab as she did last time, when she got messed up with Deacon Sharpe?
I thought it went a little fast, too, but I wanted Jordan to get caught and out of the picture I was glad how it ended. I would have liked for Jordan to be killed because I don’t want her to escape. MTS did a fantastic acting job.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.
In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.
Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.
Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?
In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.
ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION
Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.
Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.
ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA
In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.
It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Hope Floors the Runway and the Forresters!

FINALLY! The Friday, June 26 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful revealed that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is officially the lead designer of “Logan’s” new line, sending her mother Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang), Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and others into a tailspin!
It’s been weeks of flip-flopping for Hope, not sure if she should leave Forrester when Steffy finally told her they were putting a focus on “Hope for the Future,” in the near term. But, she finally stuck to her guns and with Liam (Scott Clifton) by her side, propping her up and making her see that even if it hurts her mother now, eventually Brooke will see what a great businesswoman her daughter has become.
As the models walk the runway at Katie’s (Heather Tom) fashion show, and as the Forresters watch the livestream (which Liam said is being watched by 4 million people?), Wyatt (Darin Brooks) shows up to tell Hope and Liam that the “rock” is ready to go.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE DIAMOND BACK AROUND HOPE’S NECK
Suddenly, Hope is stunned when they surprise her with the “The Hope for the Future Diamond!”Liam explains that Wyatt tracked it down. They wanted her to wear it. (But isn’t this the fake diamond?) Hope is beyond touched and fastens it it around her neck as the models make their final walk.
Next, Katie takes to the runaway amid thunderous applause and introduces Deke (Harrison Cone) who takes a bow with his dad, Deacon (Sean Kanan) in the audience who stands up for his son, then realizes he is the only one doing so. He quickly sits down.
In the CEO office of Forrester where everyone is gathered, Katie announces another surprise at the show and during the livestream. She wants everyone to meet the other half of the line. And as Katie put it, “The spirit that drives it, the creative visionary with an imprint so profound that they named the collection after her… Hope by Logan!” Brooke’s jaw-drops going, “What???”

Next, Katie intros Hope wearing the ‘Hope For the Future Diamond,’ and Hope takes to the runaway and struts her stuff. Meanwhile, Brooke, who is stunned says out loud, “What are you doing there? What is happening?” We fade to black.
Are you glad Hope stuck to her guns (after all the wishy-washy-ness) and became the lead designer at “Logan?” Do you hope Hope and Brooke have a major mother/daughter blowout? Are you looking forward to a scene where Hope and Steffy have it out over this? And will Katie and Brooke have another massive fight? What did you think of the fashion?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.
In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.
As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE
In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.
Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?
In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”
So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
