The New Year is upon soap fans, and for many viewers for some storylines on their favorite soaps they hope it will be “out with the old … in with the new!”

And now, CBS Daytime has released its promo for The Young and the Restless as preview of what is to come in the early part of 2014 and during Genoa City’s New Year’s Eve!  In the promo, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) warns Dylan (Steve Burton) not to drum anything from the past up, which we will know he will do since Ray Wise will be seen shortly on the show as Dylan’s cult leader bio-dad!

In addition, Billy (Billy Miller) looks to be having some extra-curricular activities with Kelly (Cynthia Watros), as they grieve over the loss of both their children! So, what is Billy going to do about his marriage to Victoria (Amelia Heinle)?

Elsewhere, Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) share a kiss on New Years Eve and from the looks of it, the duo known as Shick, may have another chance at love!  But will happen when Nick finds out the paternity secret switcheroo caused by Sharon regarding Summer (Hunter King), and Sharon’s part in Phyllis’ (formerly, Michelle Stafford) coma?

Watch the latest Y&R promo after the jump!  Will you be rooting for Nick and Sharon to get back together? What do you think of Billy and Kelly?  What do you hope Y&R does in the New Year to keep you interested in the show?  Let us know!

So when you lose a child in Genoa City, you feel a need to cheat on your spouse?

I can understand Jill Farren Phelps’ lack of creativity but recycling something that happened just seven short years ago (Nick and Phyllis) is inexcusable.

2014, however, will be nice without Adam on the scene.

Joshua who did not see that one coming? In today’s world we just cheat we do not work out our suffering together!!!

I take it none of you have ever lost someone close to you, nor do you know the various steps of grief. Otherwise, you’d know that there are many people who will have sex with someone (many times not their spouse) to prove to themselves that they “are alive,” “can still feel” and other emotions. Strange, but so true. This is also something that’s been used in movies, books and shows (not just soap operas) for decades; hundreds of years, actually, so laying the blame for Billy having sex with Kelly (which we ALL knew was coming, for heaven’s sake) onto JFP’s square shoulders is wrong. And calling it “recycling?” Well, let’s say that the old tragic love story between a man and a woman has been recycled ever since Adam and Eve, shall we? Or at least since Romeo and Juliet, eh? If you don’t read, you don’t learn that stories have common threads throughout life, no matter what the genre it’s displayed in now. And people cheat; they have since there were 3 people on earth where 2 were of different sex from a third. That’s when murder usually comes in…loves becomes sex, sex becomes passion, passion becomes jealousy, jealousy becomes murder, murder becomes grief, grief becomes comfort, comfort becomes love/sex, circle circle circle. Life is a circle; so are stories. Thus they continue to turn…and we watch to see what happens to them on all sides…

Still don’t see why the soap killer had to kill off a legacy child! I’m barely watching this crap.

Sooo sick of Nick & Sharon. Same old stuff. Rinse, Lather, Repeat. In fact Y&R is no longer good or entertaining. Depressing show

Billy and Kelly are disgusting.

I could understand if Billy was still on the computer around the clock, but he was able to put on a happy face for Christmas with Victoria and Johnny so the affair makes no sense with the way this story is written.

I near barfed watching that kiss (not going there again)
Y&R accelerates on recycling couples..
It is the cornerstone of Y&R —
break them up, pass them around, switching couples, and then return them to whom they started with decade after decade exchanging the same partners… yaaawn..

I do not like Sharon, I do like Nick, but not with Sharon..

What did Sharon ever do? Nick is the one who plays the Mad White Boy since what 1994 real old. I do not want her with him either she deserves better! Bring back a recast Sam and kick all their asses to the curb!!!

What did Sharon ever do?

Let’s see…she had an affair with Diego when she was married to Nick, then she abandoned her family and had an affair with Cameron Kirsten while she was also married to Nick; she slept with Brad when he was married to Vicsnoria (who I believe was still her sister-in-law at the time); slept with her husband Jack, her brother-in-law Billy, and ex-husband Nick and then had no clue who her baby daddy was; forgave Adam for stealing her baby seconds after she gave birth to her and then slept with him in New Orleans when she was engaged to marry Nick; married her father-in-law; burned down the Newman ranch; and somehow managed to tamper with Nu-Summer’s DNA paternity test separating father and daughter. Oh yeah — and she constantly ignores her wheelchair bound mother.

I have to agree that Sharon is pretty awful.

Is that all! As you can see the writing for her character has been pretty crappy for a long time. Diego affair was after Nick & her best friend Grace and the deal with Cameron was Cameron stalking her she had a one night stand while she was gone(contract negotiations) he beat her up and then came to Genoa City stalking her. The other situations not so great I agree. But no I do not want her back with Nick that ship sailed a long time ago.

Alan…HELL TO THE YEAH Sharon is awful!!!!! That Sharon is nothing but a HOT MESS FROM HELL!!!!! And, Alan…let’s not forget those VERY DISTURBING conversations (or whatever) that Sharon keeps having with deceased Cassie (aka The Visiting Ghost). BEYOND CREEPY!!!!! Alan, that is so true about Sharon ignoring Doris (her own mother). Dude…I miss Doris. I wish that Y&R would bring Doris back. Doris is such a WONDERFULLY FEISTY VOICE OF REASON!!!!! Yep.

Alan…take care and have an AWESOME 2014. Peace.

What a way for Billy Miller’s last days on Y&R! Sick, just sick. no need for this BS. Let the re-cast have the affair. Same as Nick did to sharon, can’t the writers come up with new stories? did anyone see Kelly’s apt. today, redo of Michael & Lauren’s place. Y&R has been #1 soap for 25 yrs and can’t afford new sets, sad. Something needs to change at the top level. come on Y&R listen to your fans

Kelly has her own place? They can’t even give poor Paul an apartment or house again, he and Cricket have to have sex in his office and all their conversations there BUT Kelly gets a place? I hate the people running this show.

Well Kelly’s place looks a lot like Lauren’s and Michael’s place, with some minor revisions— LOL

Didi…girlfriend…I agree!!!!! Didi…did you ever notice that Kelly’s apartment seems to be an EXACT REPLICA (or whatever) of Michael and Lauren’s apartment??? They all seem to live in the same building…LOL!!!!! Didi…I, also, HATE the people currently running Y&R!!!!! YIKES!!!!!

Didi…HAPPY 2014!!!!! Peace.

I absolutely loathe this actress who plays Kelly I wish Kim Zimmer would have kicked her behind years ago she is gosh awful!

I know how you feel and I agree!!!!! I’ve never been a fan of Cynthia Watros all that much. No Thank You. And, besides, for me personally…TEAM KIM ZIMMER!!!!!

I so agree with you.

Ah, Cynthia Watros, a major friend of JFP…(or should I say, ANOTHER FOJ?)…

Hey don’t worry about Paul not having a place the actor says JFP is terrific!

billie & kelly = horrible asinine writing

nick & sharon = non-creative writing

Stopped watching Y&R when they fired Michael Muhuney!,and now more dumb storylines!,I doubt they will continue to be #1 for long! Everyone I know that watches feels the same.

My DAYS are exciting! I’m not a YawneR.

DISGUSTING. They ruin the perfect Lauren & Michael with her infidelity, they ruined Adam & Sharon and now they ruin Billy & Victoria. The three couples who had the best chemistry as actors, they ruin them. Stupid show. I cannot wait to be done with it when Michael Muhney is gone 1/30.

I don’t think Jill Farren Phelps knows anything about writing or else she would’nt be ruining the show that fan is watching for over 40 years, she should set fired

It was grief sex. Both regret it. It will mess with Billy’s marriage no doubt, but CW isn’t on contract so I don’t believe this is a long term “affair” like Nick and Phyllis were. Disappointed they even went down that route — I think many grieving parents managed to get through the heartbreak without cheating on their partners to do it. If they killed off a child they could at least come up with a thoughtful and insightful story about grief instead of going for the standard infidelity and or revenge plots they are hatching, but we all knew that is where the story would go sooner or later.

As for Sharon and Nick– could see that coming a mile away– of course they will get back together, of course he will find out about the switch, of course it will blow up in Sharon’s face and she will go all wacky, of course her character will hit a wall and most likely will be written out in 2014.

I have to agree with ya, we knew where this was going. But in the next episode, perhaps there will be a moment of clarity for Billy before going ‘all the way’. And like you, Sharon’s character will hit a wall unless of course the paternity tests are correct. The audience knows that Sharon doctored the results to be the way that she wanted, but did she ever actually look at the actual results? A storyline switch like this would be the only thing to save her character now. Otherwise, yeah, she’ll be gone from the show soon.

God I hope you’re right! I can’t take anymore of stupid crazy Sharon. This character has long reached her expiry date. And Shick again?? You’ve got to be kidding me! MAB killed this couple years ago and they are trying to revive it like this? This is not the Shick of the 90s. It’s anything but. CW isn’t on contract yet but I won’t be surprised if she is at some point. They have big plans for Kelly aka FOJ.

I would like to see Nick and Sharon happy together. But Billy cheating on Victoria? Just proves one-note Victor was right about him. He’ll no longer be a character to care about.

lmao,,i cant believe you people are watching this crap still..

For myself and man many others I’ve read, we’re FF through Y&R not watching it, actually .. lol

It was a very disappointing year on Y&R I am hoping that new blood 2014 will improve the writting ! !

Yes. I agree. Very disappointing!

i hope kelly turns out to be crazy annie dutton, from guiding light. That would be a great twist. what about kim zimmer, coming back as reva on the young and the restless. annie and reva cat fights. bring it on lol.

Peter…dude…Kim Zimmer bringing her old GL character of Reva to Y&R would be awesome. Except for 2 problems: (1) Back in the day, on GL, Kim Zimmer and Cynthia Watros didn’t get along all that well (on-screen or off-screen). And, (2) I doubt that KZ would set foot anywhere near the Y&R set/canvas because CW is a supposedly close BFF of that soap-zilla W-I-T-C-H Jill Farren Phelps. But, I think that Kim Zimmer possibly joining Y&R would DEFINITELY give the show A MUCH NEEDED SHOT IN THE ARM!!!!!

Never say never………..

i want avery and nick back together. who cares about nutty sharon.

Yay Shick! Sick Phick fans always be hating!

They will be short lived; soon as Phyllis wakes up 🙂
(and she will with a new face, too LOL ..

I LOVE Sharon and Nick!! I don’t care what anyone says, this reunion is long overdue! And yes, the truth will come out but he’ll forgive her eventually. He held a similar 18 year lie, and is not suffering with Bipolar Disorder..

Wow whats with all the negative comments on this site. The young and the restless is still number 1 folks, quit the whining. If you dont like the storylines, then dont watch the soap, plain simple. I LOVE cynthia watros as kelly, she is a terrific actress. we should be happy, that we still can watch 4 wonderful soaps right now. General hospital is on fire right now. i love that soap too. lets support the remainder soaps, and quit the drama and whining LOL. If i want drama, i will watch the soaps. Happy New YEAR EVERYONE.

If these terrible stories are keeping Y & R at #1 position among currently aired soaps; I wonder how bad the remaining soaps are.

OMFG I am so happy for Nick and Sharon! Their chemistry is still off the charts even after all those years! Sharon Case and Joshua Morrow just work very well together. They’ve been on the show for 20 years and still have a strong fanbase for good reasons. There are other couples on the show who were on Y&R for quite a while but could never compare to Shick. It’s just sad that the power that be won’t give the very loyal Shick fans what they want. They deserve a fair reunion, not that shitty storyline with Summer’s paternity.

When Sharon and Nick are close to remarrying, that is when the truth about Summers paternity comes out. Maybe????

I’m dumbstruck… for the last time.

#1… let’s trot out Joshua Morrow and Peter Bergman… to waylay any and all fears… that Y&R is so lacking in quality… let’s sway from the truth… and assuage the viewers with some “behind the scenes” foolery…

#2… let’s go down that road… again and again… OOH let’s rekindle the constant… if all else fails… let’s trot out another… fool for the ages… it’s Nick and Sharon… Again! and Again! NOT!

#3… How dare they… denigrate Y&R modus operandi… lose another quality character to dramatize.. how uneven… the writing… the left behind cast… who are so in shambles.. that we’ll feature… dead material… I’m so sorry Amelia Heinle and Sharon Case.

and…. the lowest of the low… Billy and Kelly… tryst and affair.. no character mobility or threading any layers… pain, anguish… hell… angst… because it’s in Billy’s past transgressions… how dare you do this to Victoria! Victoria was doing everything under the sun… to be the ever loving, faithful, supportive, by your side.. wife, lover, partner, equal footing. this is not leaving a lasting memory of the dearly departed actor, Billy Miller… and the biggest lame… reason… kill Delia and leave for the dead the rest of the show.

if this done to showcase Amelia Heinle.. because… we all know… it’s not going to fly with the recast… David Tom..

I watched an epi the other day… when.. Victoria was in the coffee shop… and saw simmering movement… with Stitch… eat your heart out Nikki…. lie dead with Victor

offsetting… one tried and true… for steering… at the expense of Victoria.. is not featuring… good writing and actors weaving intricate and sublime script

Y&R Promo Hails: New Year, New Drama! And … Sharon and Nick Kiss!

“is this all Y&R has to offer?

the last “BIG” bite…. parts… of the payoff “promo”

Big Victor and Big Jack

salute… triggered… plied with champagne…

“it’s so over” “overdone” “played out” let’s get it up one more time…

plain and simple

victor and jack

Boring, sad writing, predictable. Have lost all interest in the show since Michael was fired. Everything is such a letdown and fans opinions appear not to matter in the least. My prediction for 2014 is that the cast of Y and R will all be looking for new jobs because the show is going to tank.

I hate to say it but the show is getting a little better. If they could go back to the original background music it would help!

Still very unhappy about Michael Muhney being fired. Do not like Billy with Kelly… grief sex or not. Would love to see Kelly be the one who hit Delia and not Adam. Would love to see Kelly be a crazy person and get carried off. Really disappointed that Sharon and Nick may be getting back together… would rather they be friends and good co-parents. Of course… Dylan will look for his father… he needs some idea of who he really is. This show is no longer number 1 and I wish that GH would get the title… it’s so much better than Y&R is currently.

Kelly and Billy, no surprise there. The new Billy probably doesn’t have the chemistry that Billy Miller had with Victoria, so why not break them up until they can get a feel of what the fans think. Sharon & Nick=Bored to death!

BORING! This show is getting worse by the minute!

YawneR

hmmm
the Young & Restless equals= comatose ..

It has become shamefully stagnate ..

Looking forward to a Nick and Sharon reunion. Not interested about Billy cheating on Victoria.

Yeah, right…as in N-O-T!!!!! In a few days, 2014 will be the start of a New Year and all, but new drama??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Oh, spare me!!!!! Let me see…
1. Y&R is STILL BEING OVERRUN by those GOD-AWFUL, annoying and unwatchable newbie characters…BLECH!!!!!
2. BORING AND BLAND Dylan is STILL hogging WAY TOO MUCH of the Y&R canvas. No Thank You. Next…
3. Neil and Leslie=zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
4. Sharon still loves Nick=Who Cares.
5. Most of all, that horrible and obnoxious Jill Farren Phelps is STILL DESTROYING Y&R with her stupid and whack-ass storytelling ways. Jill Farren Phelps aka EGOTISTICAL SOAP WITCH!!!!!

Y&R=DEPRESSING AND UNWATCHABLE TV!!!!! Beyond pathetic.

What Y&R doesn’t seem to grasp is it needs to return to boardroom drama!! That was always its bread and butter. The corporate intrigue mixed with romance. We barely see anyone on the job anymore. Careers are just background noise, practiced off screen most of the time. Jack and Jill going after N/C has no spice, no intrigue, no mystery and so static. The rest of the show is abysmal.

None of this crap matters…CBS is just trying to distract attention from the real issue of mistakenly firing Michael Muhney. If you agree, then get busy signing petitions and writing, calling and Tweeting CBS and Sony about their disastrous decision. Boycott CBS, the show, and all their sponsors until they make this right for the people who really count…the viewers and fans.

Wow, you really need to put your anger and energy into something that matters! Or maybe get a hobby.

Come on nick and philyis yech she was old already when nick was around.nick and sharon together bout time. Avery was too old and nasty for him. Adam needs to stay this actor fit the part hesa younger version of victor to the tee. Big huge mistake. If sharon cant hook up with nick put back with sam same actor hewas good for her.

Wish you well in 2014 YR you are going to need it!!! MM firing and these stories ex: Nick and Sharon, Billy and Kelly……really?? I mean really??

Please God, Do Not make us suffer through another story with Nick and Sharon!!!!!!! I am already fast forwarding through alot of the show, please don’t make it unwatchable!!!

NICK AND SHARON FOREVER

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Courtesy/ABC

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
