Y&R Promo: Does Phyllis Return Just In Time To Bust Up Nick and Sharon's Wedding?
Courtesy/CBS
And here comes the drama we have all been waiting for! In next week’s promo for The Young and the Restless. it looks like an alive and talking Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) busts up Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon’s (Sharon Case) nuptials! Or, does she?
Does Shick say their “I do’s”? Does Phyllis make it to the church on time? Is it all a dream? Or, will everyone in Genoa City be in for the shock of their lives? And will Sharon’s deceitful paternity switch of who is the true bio-daddy of Summer (Hunter King) finally come to light?
In the new promo, Sharon screams and also says, “I don’t know what she knows” as a very well lit and stunning Phyllis stuns the attendees at Shick’s wedding,especially Jack (Peter Bergman)!
Watch the promo after the jump! Then weigh-in! Is it curtains for Shick? Will Sharon’s wedding day become a nightmare? Or, will they the duo get hitched only to have trouble looming with the return of Phyllis?
YASSSS!!! Phyllis is back, with an official vengeance. I cannot wait to see Gina take Genoa City over right now; the show is so good right now.
I’m confused.
Which couple does Phyllis want to bust up? Nick and Sharon or Jack and Kelly.
Your not the only one. When Phyllis broke into Sharon’s home last week and found the traffic ticket she seemed to remember the accident so on that note I would say vengeance is towards Sharon. I don’t think she knows about Jack & Kelly yet. I don’t understand why it was important to sell the ring Jack gave her and buy a long white dress for the wedding. There we’re two fantastic parts that actually chocked me up. One was Nick when he walked down the isle and said “Lets do this” and the second was Mariah giving Sharon the blue stone necklace. I don’t care really if they get married or not . ‘Im a Shadam forever fan but I do hope that Nick realizes how sick Sharon was and that she did not start her med’s yet. Also she did everything to remember what the secret was.
yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me.
She is there to stop Nick and Sharon’s wedding– but the part that confuses me is — as a mother I don’t get why Nick and Sharon are her biggest concern. One would think after realizing how much time has gone by she would want to contact Summer as soon as possible. I’ve seen the wedding episode already, and she barely acknowledges her daughter– the only explanation I can think of is her coma and the those drugs to wake her must have scrambled her brains.
Probably both; Nick and Sharon because of what Sharon did over Summer’s paternity. And then Jack and Kelly because of her engagement to Jack.
Momma<
Phyllis is an over achiever–she wants to break up both couples. Also, the doctor told Victor that he has no idea what effect his prodigal will have on Phyllis's brain.
There's almost a Frankenstein monster element about her coming back to life. And right on time for Halloween too–my favorite holiday/
She is going to be so good! Can’t wait.
Finally, Genoa City is rockin’ again! Loved Gina busting the doors open at the church.
Such a Phyllys move! Then strutting down the aisle eyeing Cray-Cray Sharon.
And give an emmy to that Director, with the Extreme close ups of everyone when they saw Phyllis. Like American Horror Story. Nicky was priceless. She was like “Don’t get too close, it’s HD and I’m over 50!
I predict no one believes Phyllis about the paternity test switch cuz she just got out of a coma, she escapes a hospital for the second time and kidnaps Cray-Cray Sharon to the cabin where she took Jack to quit the pills.
But Cray Cray will get away with it, because electro schlock fried the memory of her pushing Phyllis down the stairs. Then Phyllis can make her suffer by stealing Nick back. Why is it every time these two do a girl slap fight someone ends up tumbling off! (RIP Drucilla).
But can we talk about Kelly’s hair! JFP, please bring Cady’s ATWT hairdresser to LA. Who told her she could pull off bangs with 20 extra pounds on camera? Love u, mean it! LOL.
Mark, I don’t think it will make a difference whether Phyllis is believed or not. Another DNA test will be had.
Ill forgive the spoiler if this makes Y&R great again!
That scene is not what actually real..
Sharon is dreaming that .. it is Sharon’s dream.. that is more than obvious..
So.. don’t get too excited that that will happen LOL 🙂 it will not happen..
It’s simply Sharon having another crazy attract ..
Or someone put something good in your coffee! Apology on the way if your right.
lol we’ll see..
Phyllis in that white dress bursting into the church, is all in Sharon’s crazy head ..
I hope it’s a dream. Phyllis was wearing a black dress so for her to suddenly be in white, it very well could be a dream.
But remember she went to the pawn shop to pawn the ring Jack gave her so she could have gone shopping but Mariah made a remark to Kevin about how nice the dress was so she must have bought it at Fenmore’s but how did that happen without Lauren seeing her?
Oops. Now I see what you’re saying, Su. I misread another post. I thought you meant Phyllis was dreaming. I get it…makes sense now. Thanks.
Nikki, I wondered why she pawned the ring. Of course, she can buy it back. What dress did Mariah say was nice?
Well, Phyllis was tooling around the Newman compound and no security recognized her so she could have been in Fenmore’s. Lauren may have been otherwise indisposed with her medically enhanced husbanc.
SU–saw today’s episode and you’re WRONG! But I bet you were happy to be wrong this time.
That was unexpected. Like you, I thought it was Sharon’s nightmare (she has a lot of those).
That was a black coat she was wearing over the white dress.
Great show today. Gina is already doing just a terrific job. The look of sinister determination on Phyllis’s face was powerful. Equally powerful was the look of abject fear washing over Sharon’s face. Well done.
SuOOOO I guess Sharon is still sleeping??? ha ha!
Don’t watch the show but caught a glimpse and had to say…I find the resemblance between Bold and Beautiful’s Hope (Kim Matula) and Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) amazing! Anyone notice?
I know a WONDERFUL eye doctor dear..he takes care of cataracts and all that…including comparing a 40 year old woman to a woman in her 20’s…Oh MAGOO..YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN..HEH HEH HEH
oh, davlestev1…I’ve only had a few dealings with you but you’re always so charming. By your logic two sisters can’t resemble each other, nor can mother and daughter, or for that matter…just any two human beings because one’s older. Thus, I guess there can be no resemblance at all between generations within families. With that said…not only does Gina still have a very young face (albeit she looks more mature with her darker hair and style)…but as a blonde with longer hair there is quite a resemblance. As a matter of fact, if you look her up from her younger OLTL days the resemblance, as I oh-so eloquently put it originally, is amazing!
Perhaps your eye doc can refer you to a specialist?
I don’t watch Bold and the Beautiful so I have no idea if there is resemblance between the two actresses. But I do agree with Rebecca that Gina could easily pass for a much younger woman. She looks great and is doing a great job so far as Phyllis.
She says so much with just an expression. That’s the mark of an excellent actor.
Oh, c’mon, now. I am in my 20’s but, more than one person (older) has told me I resemble a younger Bardot. The woman is well into her 80’s. Should I be insulted? I googled the actress and after seeing her images, I was extremely flattered.
Rebecca, I looked Kim up as well, and I DO see a slight resemblance.
Hey CeeCee!
I forgot; did you watch One Life To Live? That’s where the resemblance is very strong. If you’re ever curious look at some old footage from the 90s…I think that’s when Gina started…she was in her 20s, she had blonde hair…but their faces are sooooo similar! I don’t watch Y&R or B&B…but I was checking each out because some OLTL actors (as well as SK/AJ from GH) migrated over…that’s when I noticed “Hope.” Each time I see her I just keep seeing Gina’s character Kelly from OLTL.
LOL. No biggie. Funny how these comments take on a life of their own. (And we wonder why we can’t have world peace! 😉 )
No matter. I find it all the fuss amusing… 😉
I agree with you @rebecca1 that GT does look mature enough in the part now that she is on screen and i’m looking forward to this new/old version of Phyllis. But as far as KM on B&B goes..HONEY..the only person she remotely resembles is that weird kid on the Toaster Strudel commercials who just pops up in random people’s KITCHENS!!! It’s amazing you are sticking to your guns…but to each his/her own. I don’t see it.
Ya know what’s more amazing, davlestev1…that you just couldn’t say what you finally did “but to each his/her own. I don’t see it.” You should change your “name” to Snarky.
Dave can’t change his name to Snarky. That name is taken….by me!
Hey, have a little respect, dav
Don’t let them give you a hard time– I watch B&B and if you freeze this clip at about the twenty second mark, the head shot of GT in that moment does look a little like KM- around the eyes and the nose, very similar at that angle– also she is giving the character Sharon the same ticked off look KM’s character Hope gives Quinn– LOL.
Also you were inquiring about the poem I left Patrick on another thread– it is an original piece I wrote— it’s basic theme is not allowing outside forces we can’t control, to destroy what we can control– our inner most selves— I’m glad you liked it and hope it encourages him deal all the stuff life sometimes forces us to deal with whether we like it or not.
I write poetry too, Mary. Kudos to you. It was quite poignant and meaningful.
Thanks for the support but I’m not worried about Davey giving me his snarktiitude. LOL…It’s all good. Harry? Can we all call ya Snarky now? 😉
Oh my gosh who cares who she looks like would everybody please give everyone a break! Gosh almighty I have friends in the hospital family with mental issues and you soap fans are arguing ! Please stop agree to disagree and quit attacking each other! Stop the madness!
In other words if a soap is making you unhappy then stop watching! Go see The Big Lie ou home boy Thad Luckinbill/JT of Y &R is a producer and has a small part in it. It is wonderful movie and will make you realize how lucky you are. Very sad that Mr. Fairman has not had a thread on this!!!!
I had to go find your poem…loved it…my late great aunt Ida wrote poetry and had it published…i never got to meet her…she and her brother, my maternal grandfather passed before i was born!!!
k/kay– It is because the world is filled with so much stress and serious issues that a little lighthearted bantered on a soap thread is needed. Unfortunately it is hard to hear tone — I don’t believe anyone on this topic is arguing in a nasty way– just having some fun with each other– no in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter who looks like who, but if we can’t have a little fun now and them, what’s the point??
For me complaining about the soaps is stress relief, it keeps me sane in a world filled with so much sadness and my life filled with– well just say I have a full plate– as long as we can be respectful, stick to the topic as much as possible, try to give every one the benefit of the doubt that their intentions are not malicious, and remember as you said, this is not about life or death, just soaps, then some silly debates have their place too.
@ Mary I know I just get frustrated when I read someone saying another is blind or go read a book etc wears thin after a while. I think I will take a break for a while from reading the comments. I am getting too grouchy.:)
You may not consider dav’s comment nasty, Mary. But, i do….read between the lines, as it were. ‘Cataracts? Mr. Magoo? ‘ . If that’s not poking fun at the elderly, I don’t what is. I do not take lightly to ridiculing any poster…young, middle aged or senior.
None of us knows anything about rebecca, including her age. She could be 20, for all we know. That, however, is not the point. ……that being….show respect for each other, regardless of age, race or creed.
I think dav crossed the line with his little, big hints (oxymoron intended), and he should be brought to task by more than one person. Shameful. He/she hides behind the advantage of anonymity. What does that make him/her? If I am to be reprimanded by Mr. Fairman….sobeit.
@CeeCee- you make some valid points but I honestly don’t believe in this case they apply for two reasons
1. The moderator of this site allowed the comment, if they felt dav was being mean or nasty to rebecca, the elderly, or the blind I doubt the comment would have been allowed. The moderators on this site have a difficult job of balancing between free speech and protecting Mr. Fairman’s visitors to his site. I for one think there are doing a fine job and thank them for their efforts.
2. rebecca 1 took no offense to the comment. She responded in humor and the whole tone of her exchange with the poster was like a brother and sister teasing one another. I usually try to take my cue from the person who the comment was directed to, when joining a conversation that wasn’t directed at me. In my perception her tone gave me the impression this was a harmless exchanged and not a mean spirited attack
And that is why I was completely surprised that first kay then you read such a negative intention behind what was at most a failed attempt at humor, as harry has pointed out.
Mary SF…LOL…I have to start this with a smile because my slight observation of two actresses resembling each other really did grow exponentially…and has become like the game Telephone or Operator. Anyone play that? One person says one thing and by the time it gets to the last person it takes on a whole new meaning??? I think that’s sorta what happened here.
In CeeCee’s defense, I actually did think Dav’s original comment was, at the risk of being ad nauseatingly redundant…snarky. He does have a way of responding rather snidely. I wasn’t offended because as said, sight unseen these are not personal physical attacks regarding someone’s looks/age, etc… but I did think it rather snippy! But I respond quite well snip for snip! 😉 At the same time, I don’t think he was intending to be ageist…on the other…hmmmm…why can’t a 40 year old look like a 26 year old unless one’s implying the older is well…too old to resemble a younger person. Sigh. Sooooooo complicated!
On the other hand, I totally get why you read this as a fun, good-natured exchange. I think it became one…not necessarily between Dav and I since he never came back to the post…but I chose to reply with humor as did you, (Mary SF) and Harry.
So! Let’s all move on…even though THERE IS A RESEMBLANCE!!!! 😉 I stand by that!
Cheers!
Believe me, rebecca…been there, done that on more than one site. It is amazing how one comment takes a life of its own with other posters jumping on it just to be mean. But, more than that, your comment gets embellished and completely off subject. I always try to be respectful, especially since I sense I am in the minority….I was raised to respect my elders…problem is, only to a certain point. I bite back, albeit within the perimeters of politeness.
Yes, I am very familiar with Gina Tognoni. I watched OLTL for years….until the end…one of my favorite soaps, alive with my favorite characters. Did you know Melissa Archer is going to DOOL? She and Kassie will be reunited…hope on the same side. LOL.
You are absolutely right. I did look back at images…Gina definitely resembles Kim.
No matter, rebecca…we’ll keep on watchin’ and ignore stone throwers.
Still a cutie you are, CeeCee.
!!!!!!!!! I HOPE someone is watching Y&R right now! Gina just burst in with her lil blonde bob…I am telling you…LOL..it is the same face!!!!! (as Hope/B&B). Just had to say it again…I just cannot fathom how anyone can’t see it. And it’s just an observation that is freaking me out because to me it’s so obvious I thought I’d be the pied piper of this post with trillions of soapsters across the globe shouting in unison…by golly she’s RIGHT!!!!!
hahahha…I need to contact the producers and get them side by side.
On a side note, maybe Dav…is right about getting specs. I could’ve sworn she burst into the room in blonde hair but fainted in darker hair. Huh. 😉
Golly, rebi, YOU’RE RIGHT. ….!!!!LOL
Ah, Dave was just kidding. One can’t hear one’s tone of voice or see one’s expression when communicating online so sometimes a lot can be lost in translation. I know my jokes go THUD online quite often and so I have to temper my jokes accordingly. I didn’t think he was being offensive and they worked out their slight misunderstanding–no harm, no foul.
And I happen to adore Mr. Magoo–just the thought of him makes me smile.
And Rebecca, I agree–Gina is knocking it out of the ballpark. Today’s show provided so much needed, good quality escapism.
I for one hope she get’s a new love interest enough of the Nick & Jack nonsense ! Maybe involve her in the Avery, Dylan & Joe triangle they could use a shot in the arm!
k/kay…an idea: I think that Joe and Phyllis should HOOK-UP!!!!! I mean…I’d rather watch a Joe/Phyllis pairing than a Avery/Dylan/Joe/Phyllis quadrangle. Furthermore, I think that Scott Elrod and Gina Tognoni would have such A-M-A-Z-I-N-G on-screen chemistry together. Again, just an idea……….
Jaybird I agree with you buddy, Joe and Phyllis would be hot together. Scott Elrod is a hot hot man, I need to take a cold shower. LOL. Even my boyfriend thinks he is a hot hot dude, but i am cute and addorable too.
Yeeessss, Jaybird. I have been saying this all along. When, Scott finally appeared, I almost passed out….he looks so much like my husband, I wanted to reach into the TV set and touch him. Well, my husband is younger and has more hair…LOL
I hope Phyllis and Joe get together and leave everyone in their dust.
Be thankful we have that instead of that damn music box story that never ends.
And– they had the great Triston for that story and wasted him by not writing good drama for the actor..
they had him locked in an attic doing nothing and chasing Jill around looking like a senile duffer .. lol what a shame Y&R can not write gripping drama..
Once again, I find myself agreeing with Su00 (I blame climate change).
The material they kept handing Tristan Rogers was redundant, dull and badly written. He IS so good. There was a scene which involved Lauren, Jill and Michael–Tristan was barely a bleep on the radar screen. But when he was allowed to utter a line or two, he just lit up the screen and made me chuckle.
He’s funny, naturally charismatic and so talented.
Time and time again, I’d see Colin, in the park (they tend to put characters in the park when they don’t know what else to do with them) speaking to some loan shark henchman. Then his son would spy on the transpirings between the two men, to which Colin would respond, “Don’t worry about your old man, I got it covered.” Repeat, rinse, repeat and rinse.
Tristan deserves so much better. He is a waste of a natural resource.
Lol, Nikki.
I agree. Maybe once she sees that Nick never went to see her in the hospital and Jack said goodbye for Kelly, she’ll find someone else but whoever it is I believe G.T. will deliver.
I think she will, k/Kay. I am hoping Joe will be her new love…what a hunk !
Hi CeeCee,
More and more, you crack me up…LOL!!!!! Thank You. IMO, Scott Elrod is an example of what a REAL SOAP HUNK is supposed to look like…H-E-L-L-O!!!!! BTW, CeeCee…I think that you’re a VERY LUCKY GIRL…I mean…being married to a fella who is Italian. H-E-L-L-O!!!!! One final thing: Is your husband originally from Italy? Just wondering.
Take care, CeeCee.
A-C-E-S!!!!!
You are so right, k/Kay. We need a slap in the face sometimes to wake us from the infantile behavior. There are very important and vital issues surrounding our world…..our families.
But, when someone is disrespectful, it is very hard to ignore. Rebecca made an innocent comment, but that other person decided to slam her for it.
Nevertheless, hats off to you for speaking up. You are, of course, the voice of reason. Pax
No, jaybird. My husband is a Bostonian. His mother and grandparents are originally from Italy. Theirs is a very traditional Italian household.
Scott Elrod emanates charm. But, you know, jaybird? We all admire beauty, but it really is the beauty inside that makes someone special. With these characters, we can only base our opinions on what we see externally and on their behavior on stage, which, in fact, is directed by others. Am I making sense?
You seem very bubbly….it is very infectious, and that says a lot to me.
Thank you. I like you too. Later.
Hi CeeCee,
Thank you for clearing it up for me. Furthermore, you make PERFECT SENSE!!!!! I (also) admire beauty but I think that beauty on the inside is WAY MORE IMPORTANT. And, yes…I am bubbly. Well, I try to be anyway. Yes.
Take care, CeeCee. Peace.
I agree with you 100%. I did not like Phyllis at the beginning. But now? I just absolutely adore her. That’s not to say I don’t like Sharon because I do. I don’t want to give that impression. She is still so beautiful, isn’t she?
Yes, she has a mental disease…but, I think she knows what she did…the only redemption for her now, is to tell Nick, and I hope he forgives her.
Also, k/Kay, thanks for clearing the name Cole up. I don’t know why I said Jake…another character? Anyway, Nikki is not my favorite character…you describe her misdeeds, along with Victoria’s to perfection.
Many like Mariah….but, at this time, I do not. I am sure I eventually will. She is a young woman mad at the world for her misfortune. I cannot blame her for her anger. The time will come when both Sharon and she will embrace their bond as mother and child. I hope it is soon because IMO, they will save each other.
CeeCee…
I just wanted to give you a gentle nudge to the responses I wrote to you. (In case you didn’t see them.) One is on the GH post re the age thing…and the other is on this page to you and Mary SF.
Thank you, rebecca. I will read the ones I’ve missed.
I love Shick!
BTW Did anyone notice how nice Nick looked? He got a shave & a haircut and man he looks like his old handsome self even though I still prefer Shadam to Shick. I never thought anyone could take Phyllis’s place but boy can Gina T. act the part. I thought she was great.
She’s ok we shall see. Sometimes she looks like she’s acting.
Gina is a wonderful actress. When Gina read for the part of Phyllis, the producers were blown away. They loved Gina right away and she fit in as the new Phyllis. Gina won 2 daytime emmys for her work on guiding light. She played Dinah Marler.
Claudio,
Hey, dude!!!!! Listen…what am I…chopped liver??? LOL!!!!! I (also) am cute and adorable. Furthermore, I am blunt, no-nonsense and VERY FIERCELY LOYAL to people that I care about. Yep.
Take care, Claudio.
A-C-E-S!!!!!
Unlike Nikki, I cannot get chocked up about anything concerning this re-run of a wedding. Whether Sharon remembers what her unforgivable actions created or not, should be of no consequence. The truth should come to light….it is the right thing to have happen for everyone concerned.
I lost count, in the 14 years I’ve been watching this show how many times these two have been on and off again and again.
I find it infinitely disgusting how Nick can have sex and share a bed with a woman who slept with his own father….that’s show biz? Yuck.
Concerning Phyllis? I think her brain is behind a few years…perhaps pre-Summer…I think I’m somewhat confused because she herself is confused. Didn’t Su say that it is all a dream Phyllis is having?
I also think that Mariah is starting to warm up to Sharon by presenting her with the blue ankle bracelet. I think Sharon will need all the support she can get, especially from Mariah, when everything blows up in her face.
I agree but I think they all need to remember Sharon is sick and was not on her med’s at the time. When Jack said he could have turned to drugs again but didn’t because of Summer I think maybe Phyllis will keep it all going the way it is. Having Jack be the daddy to help Jack and hold this over Sharon’s head as blackmail to see if she really did forget what happened. I get annoyed with Nikki who is a drunk, poll dancer, stripper, Victoria who has been married how many times not to mention all her affairs and yet these two are always putting Sharon down. Maybe it’s living with that family day after day that drove Sharon to the brink.
You forgot one more thing about Nikki; Nikki…lol
Nikki cheated with Jake, her daughter’s husband. What does that make her…a sleaze? A trollop? A she-dog in heat? A woman without morals?
I blame this all on Victor I am saying the marriage etc. Where were his brains Sharon was like a daughter to him and he married her twice. May not be a fan of JFP but the destruction of Sharon is all on MAB. Now we have brought her snotty twin daughter in the story to dump on her. As for Victoria this is the second whose the baby story. Victoria and Nikki have shared Cole Howard, Brad Carlton & Deacon Sharpe. As for Phyllis well that will take a book to write all her sins. Bottom line they all have flaws it is a soap. Summer sure has had a bad year two dads to buy her cars! Boo Hoo Tough Life!
Forgot to add didn’t Victoria blackmail Chelsea to keep quit about Adam being the father of Conner. Oh and let’s not forget Nikki killed her father, a childhood friend and Dianne Jenkins. As for Mariah maybe Kevin will lock her in a freezer and set fire to the building. Remember Colleen? The list goes on and on and yet for a solid year all we have heard about is Sharon changing DNA tests. As for Victor checking on Faith’s parentage stupid much HE is the one who had the tests run when she was a baby because they thought it was Ashley’s & his child. MORON!!!!
Oh yes I forgot about that one. Sharon need to start throwing some of these things back at them. Just look at Victoria. She has no idea who the father to the baby is. She claims to have gone with Stitch because Billy went with Kelly but Billy only slept with Kelly once, Victoria through him out then slept with Stitch how many times but she continued to hammer Billy over Kelly while sleeping with Stitch. I wish Billy would go and stay with Chelsea, fight for Johnny and tell Victoria where to go.
CeeCee your right about Nikki. Now that I remember about Jake, I’d say a sleaze added to the list.
Oh I couldn’t agree more. Victor is always saying everything he does he is doing for his family but he has caused more dirt around town than anyone. He use to look at Sharon like a daughter. When Nick was with Phyllis he hired both Nick & Sharon to work together in some scent job, hoping they would get together. As far as I’m concerned he, Nikki, Victoria and Abby (the naked harlot) need to treat Sharon better and apologize to her. These idiots we’re born into money and Nikki would still be stripping & poll dancing without Victor & his money.
I want to see the look on Mariah’s face when Victor comes back and gives her the news that Faith is Nick’s daughter. Although I love Mariah I want to see her forgive and get closer to Sharon. As for Phyllis she is no saint.
Today’s performance , by Hunter King, was the best to date.
OMG Noooooooo enough of Summer. Please she has been on every day. Day after day pouting, crying feeling sorry for herself. Today was nothing more than a repeat performance that we’ve seen for close a year now. Please to the powers that be how about just one show a week without her?
Lol, Nikki. I said today’s performance….not past performances. What I mean is, she genuinely demonstrated her joy and shock in seeing her mother. Summer was very believable today, compared to her ‘ pouting’ self. IMO she did an excellent job.
What I don’t get is her marriage to Austin. What is the purpose of this character? Is this Constance character a link?
I wonder…did Sharon run from the church because she remembered something?
So tired of Phyllis being the “golden” girl. She’s done worse things than Sharon & she doesn’t have an illness. In my opinion, Sharon has a good heart & Phyllis is only interested in what she wants! I realize Phyllis has a lot of fans, & I’ll probably get a lot of flack for saying this.
No flack, Barbara. You should say what you feel. Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s. I am first and foremost a Michelle Stafford fan, not Gina Tognoni’s. I am familiar with her work, but I am not a diehard fan. This site is for everyone, and I, for one like exchanging opinions. It makes the site much more interesting than everyone agreeing with each other.
I think, fans of Phyllis have forgiven and forgotten the nasty stuff she pulled in the past. It was years ago. In contrast, Sharon’s craziness is still too fresh in our minds. So, the paternity switcharoo doesn’t sit well with a lot of us.
Nonetheless, Sharon still has a large following.
Please Michelle Stafford come back to Y&R. Gina is a wonderful actress. I loved her on Guiding Light and OLTL but She is not Phyllis. I was so disappointed when they got rid of Adam. I know he was fired so he will not be back. They will have a lousy replacement like they did with the Billy character. I guess we have to wait and see.
Days Of Our Lives
‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

Taking to his Instagram to celebrate the nominations, GH’s Bennett, enthused, “3 Critic Choice Nominations! I’m so proud of the FINDING MR CHRISTMAS and to be in the company of all the legends in all these categories is so surreal! Congrats to Hallmark Channel and to our nominated cast and nominated show and everyone who made this magical show possible. This is crazy! This gives FMC 6 Critics Choice nominations in 2 years. Not bad for a little show on Hallmark Channel. What are your thoughts on our show?” Jumping first into the comment thread was one of his new GH co-stars, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) who expressed, “Yeah buddy!!!🔥🔥”
In the series, Bennett, the host and co-creator spends eight weeks guiding 10 aspiring actors through a series of “festive face-offs” and acting challenges alongside actors like soap opera notables, Hunter King (ex-Summer, Y&R) and Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS). Along the way, they develop their skills and a bond with one another. The show, which is available on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Plus, highlights LGBTQ+ representation with openly gay contestants vying to be the next Hallmark star.
It should be noted that Traitors received the most Critics Choice Real TV Award nominations with 6 nods, followed by Dancing with the Stars with 4.
Bennett is very familiar to daytime fans having started his career as JR Chandler on All My Children in 2000-2001, before landing the part of Aaron Samuels in the motion picture, Mean Girls in 2004 starring Lindsay Lohan, which would become his breakout performance.

General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.
