THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Victoria’s House is Burned To The Ground, The Newmans Try to Figure Out How to Thwart Jordan, Ashley’s Personality Flip
On the Thursday, March 7th episode of The Young and the Restless, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Victor (Eric Braeden) watch in horror from the car as Victoria’s house is burning to the ground. Jordan (Colleen Zenk) wanted to torch both Victoria and Claire (Hayley Erin) in it.
An emotional Victoria is devastated by seeing all of her belongings and the home she loved burned to a crisp. Back at the Newman living room, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scot is shaking needing to take a drink and begs Claire to talk her down. Claire tells her a story involving a child, and then the two women somehow come to a realization that when Claire is emotionally ready maybe she can find some kind of career working with children … even though she now has a prison rap sheet!
Victoria and Victor come home.Nikki is irate that Jordan must be stopped, and blurts out, “That woman is despicable! I want to tear her limb from limb! She deserves to rot in hell!” Claire feels sure that her aunt is desperate and because of it is acting out. She adds, that Jordan has nothing else to lose which means she is more dangerous than ever, but also she is getting very sloppy.

After they all mull over how to stop Jordan, Victor (Eric Braeden) pipes up that he needs to convince Jordan to meet with him, because he is certain she won’t be able to get the upper hand with him. Famous last words! This is Jordan we’re talking about.
Meanwhile, Abby (Melissa Ordway) comes to the GCAC to see Tucker (Trevor St. John) and she lit into him for what he has done to her mother, Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and gives him a stern warning. At the same time, at the Abbott mansion, Ashley is up late and so is Jack and the two talk about her mental state, where he suggests she call her therapist overseas since it’s morning there. Ashley thinks that it’s a great idea. Once alone, Ashley begins to place the call, but then hears voices in her head, and the controlling part of Ashley’s personality takes over. Isn’t this a DID story, or is this not?

At the end of the episode, Ashley comes to the GCAC to see Tucker. She texts him from downstairs telling him she needs to see him ASAP. As the episode comes to a conclusion, a smug look comes over Ashley’s face as she waits at the bottom of the staircase.
So, are you ready for Jordan to get her comeuppance? Do you think Victor can put an end to Jordan’s reign of terror? What do you think is happening to Ashley? Comment below.
House burning seems to be a recent trend in daytime. Victoria can contact Anna Devane or Julie Williams if she needs to commiserate.
Jordan smacks of Sheila 2.0 and I still feel emotionally detached from. The new storyline, including the Clare is Victoria and Cole’s not-dead daughter, just came out of nowhere with no buildup or suspense, and stakes so implausible. Actors seem to be doing well but it feels forced and crafted, not organic.
In total agreement!
Another set destroyed by Y and R – I guess no soap character needs a home…
I remember in the beginning when she and Billy moved in there after they got married, it was supposed to be in the likeness of the house from the old show Father Knows Best.
Id agree Jordan is a bit Sheila-ish but Colleen Zenk is head and shoulders above what’s her name who plays Sheila. Kimber something.
What is that old saying..” any publicity good or bad, is good publicity ” so you should at least get her name right even just to slag her off…
Put an end to this farce!! Please!! Between the women going berserk ( Ashley, Cricket, Phyllis…) and crazy Jordan; it’s beginning to look like The Twilight Zone.
I cannot stand Phyllis! She’s just plain awful, and now Lily is going to return to see the “happy reconciled family” and it is absolutely painful to watch.
I think Lily is lucky to be rid of Daniel, he’s an overgrown kid and Lily should have a real man. Same with his father Danny that keeps those women fighting over him and that black shoe polish he puts all over his hair makes him look ridiculous with that old face, yuk.
I don’t know what happened, Violet—my comment posted too soon. I must have done something—I finally get a minute to myself—and I always try to hurry. LOL.
I was saying that the writers are trying to make Daniel look like a real man—-he is not worth Lily’s time and effort. Also, do you think he’s subconsciously trying to make his daughter happy by reuniting with her mother? Happy family unit?
It’s weird how these women fight over Danny and Daniel. —Especially Daniel and his passé music—reminds me of Madonna, whom I went to see in the city—-what a nightmare. LOL.
I don’t know about Daniel and Heather reuniting but I wouldn’t mind if they just all went back to Portugal or wherever they came from. There is no real story with them.
I love Phyllis because I love Michelle Stafford—But I must agree with you here. Phyllis is having some kind of breakdown—just like Ashley. What’s with these writers?
Cricket is another story—I’ve been watching since I was four ( late 80’s) with my grandmother. She has always made me cringe—so on my nerves —no spark; no personality—all she does is whine. How does a woman , whose marriage just dissolved, suddenly realize Danny is the IT guy? ( Ewww).
Re, your last question, I can’t understand it either, especially after being with a real man like Paul. To me Danny is a nice guy but just this has-been guy that was a rage years ago, pitting Cricket and Phyllis against each other, years ago maybe but now, it’s just stupid and makes them all look foolish.
Tell me about it, Violet. Talk about reviving the dead ( your comment on GH site—LOL).
I don’t think anyone wants to see the infantile behavior.—-been there done that. Why try to rejuvenate these people by giving them adolescent roles? They do look foolish—mooning over Danny.; whose ego is almost as big as his head.
Celia, I make a lot of crazy comments, which one ” on GH” are you referring to?
LOL, Violet—The comment about Carly’s stomping waking the dead.—Which another poster replied—-paraphrasing—t”she actually did—Jason!!”— LOL-I laughed so hard, the kids thought I was nuts.
Had not seen that set in how many years??? When I do think of it only reminds me of Billy Miller makes me sad
They need to get her to a hypnotist to call out the other personality.
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
