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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

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

Published

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.”

Courtesy/CBS

“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

Published

By

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.
