In story,  the Newman, Abbott and Chancellor families will gather for the nuptials of Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and Phillip “Chance” Chancellor IV (Justin Gaston).

I think Traci and Ashley should be in more colorful dresses.

I’m looking forward to it. At least the happy couple can be close to one another with Justin playing Chance.

Y&R needs to reunite Sharon with Adam.

When Sharon asked Rey to marry her, I was thinking that it not going to happen. I have a feeling that she proposed to Rey to try and fight back feelings she still and will always have for Adam. I have a feeling the day of the wedding, if not a little before, that poor Rey is going to get royally screwed, whether Adam s still in the hospital or not. And if that is the case, I hope Nick isn’t stupid enough to go back with Chelsea. Time will tell I guess.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why didn’t they wait for Donny Boaz to return to have the wedding??? This is SO very disappointing! Nothing against the recast, but it would have meant so much more to see the original Chance and Abby at such a momentous moment in their relationship.

I feel the same way. Abby and Chance went through so much aggravation together. It would be nice for the “real” Chance to be there. And like you, I don’t have anything against the replacement, it would just be nice considering what they have been through.

Shari,
I think I commented before somewhere. It won’t be the same without Donny.

Young restless has become the Seinfeld of daytime tv. But not funny more embaressing. The soap about nothing! Minus a cpl of good developing plots,aka the Adam show
thank god for Mark Grossman, nothing of real consequence happens!
Shame on cbs! Lets celebrate 12 000 eppys of Bill Bells legacy and the top rated soap with a wedding of two mediocre characters. Atleast we get a much better Chance in Justin Gaston and Tricia Cast finally back. Small wins with this show these days. Cbs and Sony should be ashamed.No eccuse for still keeping Josh Griffith around.

If only Y&R hadn’t bowed to an element of its fan base and written out the interesting Latinx characters – maybe it would be more fun to watch. Instead we get refried Adam vs. everyone, refried Nick + Phyllis, refried self-absorbed Billy and his demons, refried Jack giving sermons bla bla bla. OMG people, this show has talent and just refuses to use it! More Amanda, more Ashley, more Traci, more Mariah! Less Newsman!

The Abbott family is the most boring/lacklustre family, ever. Adam is the only spark of fire of the lot. Jack- whats wrong with the man? He comes off like a beaten puppy, a sucker/gullible one. The Abbotts need to have a firecracker under them to get them to outta their commas. How Y&R is #1 is beyond me. The Week-Long Celebration 0ooh that’s going to be an overkill of boring. I’ll skip it and tune in the followling week only because I’m addicted LOL 🙂 It has to get better, yes.. I have patience and hopes. I know there are… Read more »

I adore Jack and Tracy. But if I have to see them play Nancy Drew solving yet another mystery involving their mother’s past, I’m gonna roar-yawn. “Hey Traci,” says Jack. “ I found an old hair brush of Dina’s in the attic. I wonder what it means?” Tracy responds with excitement, “I will research that hair brush, Jack. It could be a clue and I can add it to the Abbott Family sequel I’m writing!”

OMG, I don’t know if I can stand this crowd for a whole week, they get pretty boring after a while. Enjoyed the T.G show from years back with the masquerade ball. Loved seeing the actors back then. I had forgotten Gina Romaladi and how good she was, among others. Funny, I don’t remember that David person who tried to kill Danny and the others.

Violet, that masquerade ball was such fun and harked back to the days when soap operas had a huge budget. That was 1991, a couple of years before OJ’s run and subsequent TV trials had seriously impacted viewership.

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to be Trina’s Biological Father … Curtis or Taggert?

This week’s episodes of General Hospital are set to deliver some needed results and some bombshells.  First, Victor’s will is read, but, in true GH fashion, the evil Cassadine delivers his reading via a videotaped message of himself in a return appearance by Charles Shaughnessy,

Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali), Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia (Brook Kerr) have all been awaiting the DNA tests results to prove that Trina is the biological daughter of Curtis, not Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) .

At the same time, Curtis is moving back in with Portia, after his lip lock with his ex-wife, Jordan (Tanisha Harper).

Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) and Trina are at the center of both storylines, because Uncle Victor probably left something behind for Spencer, while Trina will be dealing with the fallout from the DNA results.

Now weigh-in, who do you think will be revealed as Trina’s true father? Curtis or Taggert? Share your theories via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Nina’s Guilty Conscience Ruin a Marriage Proposal From Sonny?

This week on General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) has a marriage proposal for Nina (Cynthia Watros).  However, she’s feeling the walls may be closing in on her when she regrets her actions against Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Carly (Laura Wright).  As GH viewers know, she had turned them into the SEC for insider trading as a revenge-tactic against Carly.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is set to take a big step and ask Nina to marry him.  This, comes on the heels of Nina bowing out of attending Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding, to keep the peace in the family, and letting him attend alone.

On the latest developments, Maurice Benard shared with SOD on the marriage proposal: “It’s not an immediate yes from Nina. I think because she’s already done the bad deed (of calling the SEC).  She’s trying to get out of it, so she doesn’t dig herself deeper.”

Previewing Sonny’s profession of love to Nina, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner said of the upcoming scenes: “That was my job as an actor, to convince her in this monologue that, ‘I don’t care about what you’ve done.’ He doesn’t care about anything but her, ‘and I love you, and let’s do this.'”

As to how he thinks Sonny’s proposal to Nina stacks up with others in his GH career, “I’m not saying this is the best, but I am saying it’s up there with the best that I’ve had.”

Of course, what will happen if Sonny finds out what Nina did to Carly with the SEC insider trading deception? Stay tuned.

Check out the promo for this week’s GH below, then let us know. Are you hoping Sonny and Nina get engaged? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Y&R’s Sharon Champagne Mystery Gift Will Soon Be Her Worst Nightmare. Who Is Watching Her?

You know it’s going to be ‘Creepsville’ when you receive a bottle of champagne with a stain of blood on it and a card that goes with the gift that says, “Memories are what life is made of”.  Cue all of the speculation for The Young and the Restless Sharon Case (Sharon) and her new storyline.

It’s been a minute since the character has been front-burner, but this storyline really kicking off this week on the CBS soap opera, will put the now Daytime Emmy-nominated Case in an intense and dramatic story.

If you saw Friday’s episode of Y&R, you know that Sharon received a champagne bottle as a supposed gift, but has no idea who sent it to her.  Meanwhile, lurking outside of Crimson Lights is someone keeping tabs on her.

The rumors are running rampant, and it would seem to be on track, with fans of Y&R believing that the diabolical Cameron Kirsten is back and  will terrorize Sharon some decades later. The character last appeared on the soap opera back in August of 2004.  Add to the fact that Kirsten’s portrayer, Linden Ashby is married in real life to Susan Walters, who plays Diane Jenkins on the series, it all makes sense.

For a bit of a walk down memory lane: Cameron Kirsten had sex with Sharon in a hotel room and then beat her. Later, he turned up in Genoa City threatening her if she didn’t meet him for a hook-up.  On one fateful New Year’s eve, Kirsten tried to rape Sharon.  She bashed him over the head with, wait for it, a champagne bottle in self defense.  Poor Sharon then had to dispose of his body.   However, eventually, he turned up alive and then ended up behind bars.  Smart money is he is out of jail and coming back to GC with his eye on making Sharon’s life a living hell.

During the Michael Fairman Channel’s Daytime Emmy Nomination Special 2023, Case revealed she was working hard on a ‘big’ new storyline. She also had admitted she couldn’t say with who, because at the time they hadn’t aired yet.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Y&R’s EP and head writer, Josh Griffith teased: “Sharon decides to throw out the champagne bottle thinking this will put an end to her uneasy feelings. Little does she know this gift is just the beginning of a very wild ride.:

Check out the previews for this week’s Y&Rm and a key scene from last Friday’s episode below.

Now let us know, do you think it will be revealed that Cameron Kirsten is stalking Sharon? Share your theories via the comment section.
