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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ric’s History of Jealousy Where Elizabeth is Concerned Has Come Back Around
On General Hospital, Ric Lansing (Rick Heart) is about to fall back into dangerous old patterns by the foreshadowing during the Wednesday, August 19 episode. After first coming to see his brother, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and telling him of his plan to propose to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) his longtime love tonight, Sonny has concerned.
Next, Sonny reminds his brother of what has happened in the past, when things have gone south with Elizabeth and wonders if it’s too soon for him to propose to her. What Ric did not tell Sonny is that he has seen the developing closeness between Sonny’s son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth, which is propelling his urgent need to propose.
Meanwhile, Dante ran into Elizabeth at the park during a break from their mutual team softball games. She needs help with a bookcase after the game at her house. Dante wants to put it together for her. Later, Dante arrived at Elizabeth’s house, limping after injuring his knee during the game. Head nurse Liz wanted to check out the injury as much as Dante protested, which required him to take off his pants.

RIC BEGINS TO UNRAVEL
Outside Elizabeth’s widow, Ric arrives with a bouquet of roses and the engagement ring. When he leers through the widow he is shocked to see Elizabeth rubbing Dante’s leg while Dante is in his boxer/shorts. He storm troops into the house, demanding to know what is going on here? Both Elizabeth and Dante look surprised by his reaction. In the pick-up of today’s Thursday, August 20 episode (see GH video teaser below), viewers will learn the upshot for all three characters.
A VENGEFUL PAST
As longtime GH fans know, Ric has done some horrible, vengeful things in regards to Elizabeth starting back in 2003 after she lost her baby after Ric’s ex, Faith Rosco pushed her down a flight of stairs. Ric accused Sonny for the accident and to get revenge, Ric kidnapped Carly (who was married to Sonny at the time), and stashed her in a panic room below the house where he was living with Liz.
On top of that, Ric fed his wife Elizabeth birth control pills to keep her from getting pregnant so that they could raise Carly’s baby together after it was born. Eventually, Elizabeth found Carly in the panic room but ended up having a pulmonary embolism. When she woke up in the hospital, Elizabeth was all confused by what happened, and Ric convinced her that her vision of Carly was just a bad dream. Eventually, Elizabeth learned the horrifying truth and divorced Ric.
Years later, Ric noticed the connection between Elizabeth and “Jake Doe” who eventually turned out to be Drew (Billy Miller) A jealous Ric hired Hayden Barnes to show up and claim to be “Jake’s” wife. Elizabeth stepped aside, and when Ric planned to propose to Elizabeth at the 2015 Nurses Ball, Carly exposed his manipulations, and Elizabeth dumped him yet again. And those are just two examples of the lengths Ric will go to for Elizabeth!
So, we ask you, given the history of Elizabeth and Ric, how do you see this playing out with Dante in the picture? How will Ric derail their growing bond? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy and Carter Get Lame Excuses From Their Spouses, and Try to Shake Off Their Night Together
If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?
As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?
That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS
Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.” Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.
Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT
Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.” Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”
Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or, will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”
Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.
Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.
