‘The Young and the Restless’ Airs Tristan Rogers Final Appearance as Cane Gets Fatherly Advice from a Dying Colin
The soap world has been in mourning since the passing of one of its most beloved veteran actor’s, Tristan Rogers. The former General Hospital and The Young and the Restless star, died on August 15th from lung cancer. Rogers was 79-years-old.
However, Rogers and Y&R had one last surprise for viewers. Tristan actually filmed scenes as a dying Colin just several weeks before his own death, pairing him with his on-screen son, Cane, now played by Billy Flynn.
In the set-up of the story, alone in a his train car, Cane reflects on how his children and Lily (Christel Khalil) want nothing to do with him for disappearing on them for six years and becoming the wealthy business magnate “Aristotle Dumas.”

As Cane poured himself a drink, he flashed back to being at a gravely ill Colin’s bedside, marking the first time we see Rogers in the episode. Cane gets Colin glass of water and he responds, “I don’t suppose you could put a drop of scotch in it?” he joked weakly. Cane refused, and told Colin not to try this with Jill (Jess Walton) either. Colin responds, “Why do you guys think you know so much about me?” Back in the present, Colin looks at a letter from his mother, Genevieve Atkinson, and then proceeds to open up to his children, in a lengthy video message to hopefully open the door fo him to eventually step back into their lives.
After Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) arrives and convinces Cane to send the video, he hits send. After he asks Phyllis to leave, Cane flashes back to sitting by his father’s bed, urging him to stick around to add more zeroes to his bank account. “I’m tired,” Colin replied. Even though he is tired, Colin shows love to Cane, sharing that he is worried about his son. Colin reminded Cane that Aristotle Dumas was just a name, not a person with a family who needed him. “Wait too long and the mask burns into the skin,” said Colin wisely. Next Cane promised he wouldn’t let it get that far. Meanwhile, Colin with having the same snide remarks we used to love, snarks back, “Famous last words.”

In a hankie-inducing moment, Cane remembers when Colin says, “Don’t tell Jill how much I love her. It’ll just make it that much harder when I’m gone.” In addition, Colin urges his son to try to reconnect with the woman he loves now, before it’s too late. adding, “Make it up to Lily in 50 years when it’s your turn to go?”
Cane promises his father, he will let go of Dumas soon but he needs to finish one more thing. Colin firmly tells Cane that “Dumas has served his purpose, and what is important from now on is Cane and his family. “
In his final lines, Tristan Rogers as Colin told Cane, “Then you bury Dumas forever, “You promise me.” In that moment, Cane reached out and took his father’s hand.

While it was heartbreaking to see a very frail Tristan Rogers, he left fans this big gift – that he never stopped acting until the very end, and he gave closure to one of his favorite TV roles – while getting the chance to play scenes with his new and last television son in Billy Flynn.
In addition, it should be noted that Billy Flynn delivered another very fine performance in his career. as the entire hour focused on Cane making the videotape for his kids, reflecting on his actions thus far, changing his plans for the future, and remembering his dad’s dying words.
So, how did you feel about seeing Tristan Rogers one final time as Colin on The Young and the Restless? Did you reach for the hankies? What were your thoughts on Billy Flynn’s scenes with Rogers in today’s special episode? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
Wow, just amazing that Tristan Rogers was able to do those scenes. So brave of him knowing his own condition. Truly dedicated to his craft. Wish they didn’t show those scenes in black and white, really didn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I know why ….. this black and white showed flashback or back in time episode more like while back ago.
I didn’t recognize Tristan at all. He looked like a shell of his former self. Major kudos to him doing those scenes knowing how frail he was. Also, major props for #YR in keeping his final TV appearance under wraps.
Yes he went out doing what he loved. He wanted to say farewell to his fans and give Colin Atkinson closure.
One of the reasons I was hesitant of Billy Flynn taking on the role of Cane is because he didn’t do any scenes with Tristan Rogers. Which is why I am hesitant of Rory Gibson as Micheal on General Hospital, as he didn’t do scenes with Leslie as Monica before her death. Glad that Rogers was able to do scenes before his death.
On a nostalgic level, I see what you’re getting at emotionally speaking. However, if we were to limit recasts to only those who played opposite signature, legendary legacy actors, the deaths of such legends would eventually wipe out entire legacy families, no?

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
