THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: The Newmans Are Blindsided By Who Aunt Jordan and Claire Really Are
On Monday’s November 27th episode of The Young and the Restless, true identifies began to be revealed as Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Claire’s (Hayley Erin) plot took hold.
The story picked-up with poor Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) awake and in a drunken stupor and seeing things very blurry. Realizing the nightmare she finds herself in, she grabs the pillow and tries to sleep, but finds a photo of Eve Howard (the late Margaret Mason) behind it. Nikki recognizes the photo of Eve and is left bewildered.
Cole (J. Eddie Peck), who has arrived to the house, is downstairs leaving a message for Victoria on his cellphone. He says he followed Nikki’s instructions but is perplexed at just who’s house he is in. Next, Aunt Jordan appears from behind with a hammer, no less, and clobbers Cole on the head.

Later, Jordan is now hovering over Nikki’s bedside. Jordan tells Nikki to stay calm and well-hydrated and how she shouldn’t have pulled the IV out. (Oh no! Nikki will now drink the IV, or did she do that already?) Next, Jordan tells her that her family will be arriving soon. Nikki is distraught and under the influence and tells Jordan, “You did this to me!” Jordan replies, “No, Nikki. You did this to yourself. Your whole family did this to you.” After Nikki has fallen asleep she has a dream – and we get a flashback to a crazed Eve in a showdown scene with Nikki.
With the Newmans all downstairs, Claire offers them all some water, while they wait for her Aunt Jordan. Finally, Jordan shows up with a faux cast in her arm with a flimsy story about what happened to Nikki, hinting she was drunk, and what happened when the paramedics came and took her to the hospital.

However, that was a ruse and Jordan lets the Newmans have it. She tells them to shut up if they ever want to see Nikki again. Jordan asks Victor (Eric Braeden) if she looks familiar to him. He says I never seen you before in my life. Jordan then tells Victor, you knew my sister Eve Howard, intimately. Jordan tells Victor he broke her sister’s heart and dumped her like she wasn’t human. Now they must all make amends.

Jordan says she and Eve were estranged when Eve died, and if she would have never come to Genoa City they would have reconciled. At that point, Jordan admits that Nikki is not in the hospital nor did she have seizure. She said all that to get them to the house. Throughout the conversation, Victor, Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) have all been sipping on their water bottles. That is when Jordan admits they all just drank poison and soon they will have heart attacks, and she will take great pleasure in watching them die.
Just then, Claire drags Cole in to the living room. Victoria is shocked to see Cole, but even more shocked when Claire says,“He had to be here for the family reunion… didn’t he mother?” We fade to black.

So, what do you think (if it holds true) that Aunt Jordan is Eve’s sister and that Claire is Cole and Victoria’s daughter? Comment below.
Whoever the hell Claire is, how could she treat her believed Grandmother the way she’s been doing, wihout any doubts about what her “Aunt” has been telling her? Talk about being sadistic and cruel.
WOW, Violet—for once I guessed right—Claire is baby Eve. I think she believes Nikki to have been the cause of making her disappear as a baby. But, she also believes Victoria and Cole gave her away. I think aunt Jordan kidnapped her as a baby and filled her head with evil lies. This could have been Jordan’s revenge for the death of her sister, Eve.
I’m thinking that Aunt Jordan kidnapped Eve/Claire and replaced her with the baby she kidnapped from the hospital, if she’s telling the truth and that baby did die, with Victoria and Cole thinking it was their baby Eve, had her buried. So, Eve/Claire grew up in boarding schools ,with no family except this lunatic Jordan who gloated or reveled in the knowledge that she was depriving Victoria and Cole of their child and didn’t seem to care that Claire was also growing up without her parents and extended family. Oh, what a tangled weave…….. these two lunatic sisters, the writers did a good job with this SL, it’s literally unbelievable!
I don’t understand they Jordan attacked her nephew.
She’s nuts, Momo . I’m beginning to think there is no love within this satanic woman—if Cole is really her nephew., that is. She may have her own agenda against Victor —I doubt she’s even Eve’s sister.
Maybe she doesn’t believe that Cole is really her sister’s son. I’m sure if she isn’t killed somehow in this outcome, she’ll be committed as a raving lunatic, just like her sister, too insane to even be charged with anything.
I actually like this creepy storyline since both Colleen and Hayley are good at being so creepy, but I do feel that Aunt “Jordan” has a very wrong name for her generation. Maybe Aunt Janet? or Aunt Nancy? or Aunt Barbara???
LOL, Margherita—I tend to agree with you. The name Jordan is too “woke” for that generation.
Now, it’s all about getting out of that “Haunted” house and for Claire to get a DNA test., I hope she does turn out to be Eve. I love Hayley!!
Odd complaint.
Sad some of the worse acting I have ever seen
I know. Colleen what’s her name is so overrated like most of the ATWT people. I hated that show!
Too bad Tina, it was your loss. That was a wonderful show with lots of loyal fans and Coleen Zenk was one of their best actors. Even at her age of 70 today, I’d like to see you doing all the physical stuff she’s been doing.
Remember when Titanic was all the rage and ATWTs answer was the sinking of Todd’s yacht the SS Valetta at Molly’s wedding. Some of the worst acting and special effects ever on daytime. Soap Digest which always fawned over ATWT even called it the SS Velveeta LMFAO!!!!
Agreed! ATWT was a wonderful show, and Zenk was a riveting actor.
I hated how Guiding Light played second fiddle to ATWT and Guiding Light was always so much better and had better actors.
I think they have done pretty darn good. It can’t be easy acting crazy, although some people come by it naturally.
Huh? What we are seeing her is campy, vintage soap classic. Hayley Erin is a genius and Colleen Zenk is a marvel at playing the cackling, maniacal villain. Y& R has been somnolently dreary as of late and this story is injecting energetic soapy fun into the atmosphere.
One must use a thesaurus to read your posts!! :-)
I agree, Harry. Finally some action besides Kyle and Audra bedding down or dreary Devon.
I have no idea what is happening and who these people are, and, of course, don’t enjoy the terrifying events. Nikki is doing a particularly moving job in a dreadful role.
For those who can pull back far enough to envision what led up to these events; great! I can’t and don’t think I use Soaps in the same way. This goes too far back with a very complicated and ugly premise.
That doesn’t infer any disrespect. Strange, I know this is fiction, however, now that I know Victor has been ill, and that Nikki does personally have MS, it tends to subtly influence my interpretation of what is seen.
I thank those who have shared their knowledge with me. As usual, I am several days behind!
I like this site. People are interesting here.
There must be a lot of new viewers. I can’t believe how many people haven’t a clue as to whats going on, or who is whole Hope they enjoyed it anyway, as a lot of things have been changed from the real story years ago.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”
As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?
On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN
Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.
Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.
However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.
B&B SPOILERS
In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.
Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.
So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with?
