Y&R’s Michelle Stafford Pens Farewell Message to James Hyde: “Thank You For Being Such a Positive Spirit On Set and a Great Scene Partner”
Monday’s episode of The Young and the Restless brought with it what appears to be the shocking death of Jeremy Stark (James Hyde) at the hands of Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), or is it?
During the disturbing and emotional scenes, Phyllis wants to let her children know she is alive and return to the land of the ‘living’ after she and Stark made it appear she died, in their efforts to frame Diane (Susan Walters) and put her behind bars for good.

Now, hiding out in a motel room, Phyllis had let Jeremy know she wants out, and yet he won’t let her leave. This leads to showdown where Stark grabs a scissor and goes after Phyllis who runs into the bathroom. In the scene that follows, Phyllis is covered in blood, and so too is the scissors, and a body is wrapped in sheets on the motel room floor. Phyllis drags the body out and her cover-up begins. Looks like in self-defense Phyllis killed the guy!
Later, Michelle Stafford took to her Instagram account to share a few words on her co-star, since this would mark James Hyde’s last airdate. Stafford shared: “SPOILER ALERT!!!!” Ok, just so folks don’t get mad. Hey @jameshydeofficial thank you for being SUCH A JOY to work with!! We ALL love you! Thank you for being such a positive spirit on set and a great scene partner. I’m sorry the marriage was short lived and I’m sorry I stabbed you to death ✂️ Those scissors sure were sharp 🥴But… ya know, Jeremy can always have a twin brother. 😉 Go Kill it! 🖤 ”
Meanwhile, on an Instagram Live, Hyde confirmed his exit by answering a fan’s question: “This is the end for him.” But later added, “We’re doing a soap, so you never know.” He then requested of his ‘live’ participants to let the powers-that-be at Y&R if they want him to return: “Whatever you guys want to happen, join forces and let them know.” James also revealed that he ‘loved the character’ of Jeremy Stark, adding, “It’s unfortunate the way it happened, but that’s the way it goes.”
Now below, watch the dramatic cliffhanger featuring Michelle Stafford as Phyllis from the end of Monday’s Y&R.
Then let us know, are you glad to see Jeremy Stark ‘killed-off’? Do you think the body inside the sheets is someone else? What have you thought of the performances of Michelle and James in this storyline? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
I was hoping this scene was just a bad dream ! I love his character, you never knew what to expect. I have seen James through the years on other soaps , I just got to say he was amazing!! I love to watch him . Please bring him back
I think you should bring him back, but he disappears for awhile watching Diane from somewhere else, to reappear again to Diane..
I agree but pls let it be his twin
Allow him to be the one who seen it all go down
Allow Phylis to over come her screw up by her part in planning with Jeremy and have them get together
Phyliss needs someone as well someone who knows her through and through and doesn’t try to change or judge her freaky ways
The hell with Jack let him find out that the nut job he’s clinging to it
Just that and let the chips lay
Let Phylis be happy for once not tying to hook up with someone else’s man for a hot minute
Agree!! What she said
Agree with Sandy! They really worked great and had chemistry with them.
Totally agree
I agree, Stark must come back. I don’t know if he.
The story lines are soooooooo boring phillis marked her territory and Jack dumped her Diane faked her death for years and she’s forgiven what a crock and Adam sleeps with Sally one last time and her baby is his and her and nick have a relationship and he’s not the father these soaps are getting ridiculous
I agree. Nick needs to find somebody else. Let Adam stay with Sally. Let Diane rod in jail. Let Jack find out who Diane really is.
Yes
Yes,yes and yes..Good thinking Gloria..Although Diane might need to be out to cause some havoc…
Amen
I absolutely agree with Pauline. It crazy
I hope they let Diane rot n jail awhile. Before finding out the truth. And Jack I hope Diane show her true colors. Don’t forget she brought ali as Jack granddaughter I can’t wait to find out that’s not his granddaughter.
I think Diane will get out and take the money out of Jack’s safe and skip town
I believe Diane and stark were in cahoots still and once she married Jack and took over jabot ..then ran away with stark..
Shut up I
cant STOP laughing tks!! Tonya
I agree can’t trust Diane. I know one thing he’s very good looking.. bring him back. Lol
I hope. I can’t stand Diane and I really don’t like any of the story line
I hope that it was James Stark killed,Diane is cleared ,I really like Diane and Jack together and would hate to see this be the end of Kyle & Summer’s marriage.
I agree and to bad Phyliss doesn’t ever pay for her wicked ways on the show and the same for Victoria!!
I want Summer to find out her mom was faking. Don’t want her and Kyle to breakup. I do think Diane is up to something but got caught up in the murder charge. Don’t want Jack with her. Also want Victoria to find her own man and stop hating on Adam .
Jack and Phyllis are totally sickening,. Jack don’t even play this pathetic lover boy part well, All her lies, who would ever trust her? Plus pussy lips Kyle needs to straighten up and act like a real actor
Jack & Phyllis belong together! Im with you on Kyle he needs to grow up.
Ditto to KJH.
Finally!!! Someone with some moral sense! Thank you Lloyd
Victoria has some nerve. J. T on his way. Not soon enough. Nate smh
Nate needs to quit cheating and quit telling Victoria it’s not going to happen again. Once a cheater….
I agree!! Nates a loser!
I think Nate’s up to something other than romancing scandalous Victoria.
Yes, Phyllis and Victoria need to pay for what and how they have treated people in the past. They are the ones who also need to change. I used to like Victoria but I don’t know who she is now. Phyllis has tried to change but now I think she’s demented…
Yes! I agree Lloyd!
Agree
Would love to see Adam take down Victoria. Have Adam and /or Victor walk in while she and Nate are rolling around on her desk.
Agree!
Do not like Diane and Jack let them see the true colors of Diane . Do not like this story line
noI don’t like storyline. I wanted Phyllis to end up with Jack. Victoria will end up with J.T. no more black and white
Ellie, you are discussing. What is wrong with mixed relationships?
Denise I don’t think she is talking about Black and White relationships. None of them were in mixed relationships. I think she meant it’s either one way or the other as far as who’s with who.
What Denise said
what ?
What Lala said what the what
Omg
What does no more black and white mean that sounds horrible
Victoria deserves to be left with nothing. I want to see Adam take her down. Let her and Nate loose everything. And let Elena get together with Nick.
John,
Nick and Elena? What are you smoking?
I am so tired of the same old thing, the same characters keep coming back showing up like old pennies. Everything is a LOVEFEST, it doesn’t matter as to who has been with who, they SWAP body fluid too freely. Brothers ALWAYS competing for the same woman, the women are just as THIRSTY. It would REALLY be nice to see some FRESH NEW FACES,and a different storyline, not always DOG EAT DOG.
I think Dianne has changed, Phyllis tried to bring out the old dianne, some people will do that when they are still dealing with their own issues. Let it be…
I absolutely agree and all of them got their second chance. Phyllis is just demented!
Agree with you Leslie! I say FAREWELLto Stark! Let stupid Phyllis come back to life and get what she deserves!
Yes
I agree….Summer needs taken down a notch
Yes dumb blonde
Totally agree that “Snowflake “ needs a bit of melting “
I agree, I like Diane.im so sick of Phillis. I hope for once they will leave Jack with the love of his life, Diane
Agree
Totally agree Phyllis is a nut job. Complete narcissist, acts impulsively, total disregard for other people!
The real love of Jack’s life has always been Phillis.
The hell with phyilis it’s time she gets what’s coming to her I wish she would just leave Y & R soooo. sick of her and summer
I was impressed with the new summer. More adult and mature but now she’s too hateful. Kyle deserves better. No offense to any of these actors but the roles written for them are horrible. Face it Y&R and B&B need new writers with more interesting ideas. I literally sit and finish their sentences. It’s the same old stories. Something new PLEASE!
I totally agree with you. They don’t know how to write good, wholesome (yes that’s what I said)stories. And I don’t care for the curse words being slipped into conversations.
What curse words? The worst I have heard is Damn and Sonofabitch.
Thank you totally agree…I can leave for a few weeks or month and still know what’s going on sooo predictable
I agree it’s always the same character chasing the same character
Finally someone I agree with!!! I love Diane and Jack. He’s had all the nuts in town and deserves a good life long partner. Kyle deserves a good mother and a great DeeDee for Harrison. There isn’t one on that show that hasn’t slept with everyone in town or tried or succeeded in killing half of them. Victoria, Nikki and that bunch tried to kill JT and buried him alive in Chancelor Park. Really guys pointing fingers in Genoa City is a joke!!!!! Phyllis needs to stay but I’m just not feeling Stark! Great actor but not a good fit for Y&R!!! Hurry along we’ve got a wedding to plan!!! Have Phyllis tell that she was kidnapped and poisoned by stark. He’s dead and can’t cause a problem anyway!!!
I agree. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. There are so many hypocrites on this soap. Victor faked his death, but somehow he is forgiven for all his sins. Everyone on that show has done despicable acts but somehow they are forgiven. People do change and deserve a 2nd chance. Give Diane a break and let Jack be happy!! Phyllis is a complete nut case!
Barbara S. Agreed
Agree
Such a stupid storyline. DIANE is not a good person. She is also a terrible actress. Get rid of her.
Agree and get Diane out of the darn blue clothing, gees the wardrobe department. On another note can’t stand Diane,Iam a Jack and Red fan.
Deb,
She in prison clothing. Do you think they should have a special wardrobe dept for them?
I agree
Bring Stark back, he know theirs more to Diane that people don’t know. Maybe it was a switch in prison and Stark working undercover to put Diane in prison. It’s more behind Diane Jenkins past. I think she’s heading a millionaire empire and trying to take over the Abbott and Newman empire and she’s the Big Boss and not working by herself.
Yelp. There’s something just not truthful with her. Jack does deserve a love life just not sure it’s Diane (I actually like her)
I like your thinking!
Totally agree. Can’t stand her and all the faces she makes. Stark was great eye candy.
Agree, Staked played a bad guy and he was great and great to look at…
I, actually believe that Diane is innocent!
Agree
Me too
I believe it Diane is innocent Let Her Go Let Her Go set her free I want her to go and and let say her name and clear her name and go back her new husband and please I like her
This is so Stupid to think Diane is good!!!! Keep in mind she is the one who paid Allie to pretend it’s JACK’S GRANDDAUGHTER…..OH she’s so GOOD??¿??
PHYLLIS WAS TRYING TO PROTECT JACK!!!! I HOPE HE SUFFERS FROM THE LIKE OF DIANE!!!!!
She did not pay Aly to pretend anything. She is his granddaughter. Obviously you missed quite a few episodes.
Pamela,
She didn’t pay Allie. You must be watching another show.
No…I’m not watching another show. IM NOT STUPID!!!
Soap Digest says its going to come out. APPARENTLY YOU WAS WATCHING ANOTHER SHOW. WHEN ALLIE CONFRONTEFD DIANE!!!!!! NOAH, will get his heart broke when it comes out soon!!!¡!!!!!
agree
She totally is innocent. I think all of her past is out and over. Give her and Jack a second chance! Everyone else has got one especially Phyllis as many as anyone!
Juliana Mangold,
We KNOW she’s innocent because we saw the whole thing that Phyllis and Stark planned and followed through with.
There is no doubt about who is guilty.
Yes I agree ! U know she is up to something! She is the evil one & look at all the trouble she has caused phyills! Nickie & Ashley was involved in taking down Diane not only Phyllis! I hope she never gets out of jail ! An jack is so stupid an look what he did stealing Nicky necklace!! He cause jeromy to come back !! & I think Ally is in with Diane! She was taking up for her& I hope Somer leaves kyles ! Now look at Michael, going to save the witch Diane She has them all brainwashed! Now I think Michael & jack are no good !!!
Yes that is so true. But wait a minute, is Stark Kyle”s daddy?
Well now that would be a good story too. I love Michelle Stafford as Phyllis and James as Stark. First off what a great looking man, look at his younger pictures he was absolutely gorgeous, still is and seems like the nicest sweetest human on the planet. I hope they bring him and Phyllis both back in some way because I loved the storyline it kept me on the edge of my seat for weeks.. they both were, are such great actors! Good luck James and Michelle and whatever endeavors you pursue next.. we who have been watching y&r for 50 years,love you both and hope to see you return..
one day!
Wow I would Crack up on this one ..and Diane killed Keemo
Lol
Never thought about that…..could Stark be his dad????
I think that’s the cliffhanger, Kyle will have to face the fact that his precious Dianne is still the same evil cold schemer as always.
Absolutely not!
Now that would be a good twist if Abby and Nickie are involved with Phyllis killing Stark. The trio work good together Phyllis will need talk to someone before she goes crazy. Michael Baldwin needs to be shot for defending Diane. My God, is he the only attorn in Ginewa City?
I agree Cathy!! I can’t stand Diane! I love Phyllis though. Jack, Kyle and Michael are all brainwashed by that witch.
Agree Cathy!
Agree
I read that Kyle is not Jack’s son,That’s what Diane is hiding and if it’s true I think tucker is the father.
Don’t like your idea I don’t think Diane should rot in jail Phyllis kept on egging Diane on let phyllis go to jail But bring James Hyde back somehow he’s good looking sexy good chemistry with Phyllis they are both cotton to the core
Bottom line Diane should have stayed dead
Same thing as I just said before..
Yes!!!! I completely agree Nellie!!
Yes
Agree the witch needs to go! lol
I don’t know what show you are watching…can’t be the Young And The Restless.
He’s so hot. Love him! I remember him as a model when he was in his twenties. Knew I recognized him, looked up the name and there he was, bold and beautiful❤️
EXACTLY, can’t wait till Diane gets what’s coming to her
What’s coming to her, she hasn’t done a thing… if this Dianne from the past sure…but she hasn’t done a thing… People make mistakes and she has paid for hers by living without her son and getting involved with less desirable people. she’s not a Saint but then again. who is?
Amen
No one on that show!
You said it all Thank u. Why dont ppl realize its phyllis who hasnt changed. Look at her committing murder then hiding the body instead of calling the police after she killed stark it was self defense that she got herself into for revenge I hope she spend some time in jail
If they all get what they deserve there won’t be a Y&R.
I agree with Trica!!! Phyllis & Stark were so good together please consider keeping them together!!
No way I am glad they are both gone
I wonder if we can looking in our downfall our background maybe we might be we might in mirrors of ourselves Diane’s actions.
I agter i hope jack gets what he deserves way he treated phuylis and why is kyle so forgiving to his mom stuped
Linda,
Kyle is forgiving because he missed her growing up and he got his mom back. Look at the dumb, bratty Summer, with all the horrible things her mother has done, including faking her own death, I don’t see her having any problem forgving Phyllis. Everyone deserves a second chance, including Diane, if it all comes out that she’s been truthful and repentant. It doesn’t say much for all these citizens of G.C who think they’ve never done anything wrong. Alexis, being the worst of all. What a damn hypocrite she is.
I agree let Phyillis have him as her love interest for awhile. Come back as a nice twin. Let Kile not be Jacks son.Let Sharon son be with his ex after he find out they have a child
Ugh. Thats disgusting. I hate Audra character.
U can’t just kill him and let it be it’s too soon
Agreed!
Ditto to that, and a bag of potato chips! Michelle and James were great! Michelle gives such award winning performances, and the motel scenes with James deserve a standing ovation! Brava!
Took the words out of my mouth
Jacks the decent one! Leave his happiness alone! Kyles too! Bring Stark back to kill ol Red and Nicki!!!’
Nikki Newman will never leave Y&R until she retires and I think she has a long time for that!
I agree
Yes have him come back as twin or triplet lol!!!!
I like what you said
It’s time that Phyllis found love. I hope Jack and Diane never get together. I don’t like Diane and I never have. Who will help Phyllis with the body because she can’t lift him by herself.
Jack needs to be punished for setting up Shark for Diane
And I think Jack and Phyllis
Needs to pick up where they left off
I Agree
Ikr, I figured she’d try to dump him in the trash shoot! But Stark is a big man! Can she do it???
LOL too funny! Seriously, this storyline seems to have lost its way. I’m hoping the writers can turn this around or just end this mess with Dianne Red and Jack. Not sure where this is going with Red moving this huge body.
Exactly, they always make her the fall girl they pushes her to snap, please get rid of Nicky and Victoria let Adam take over the company while at it kick out Sally she’s never satisfied
I agree with Rosie, I loved Jeremy Starks character. I think he and Phyllis would have made an awesome couple. I was so excited when he first appeared on the show. But my excitement was short lived. Bring him back!
Agree totally
Yessss I agree with u I love Phyllis
I think Phyllis should say he kidnapped her and arranged everything. He poisoned her, etc to get Diane. so she’s cleared for her kid’s and friends relationship
Lmao that nasty red head
Lstamper… Yes, I love your storyline idea. Me too!
I totally agree that the storyline should go this way!!
Like in a bad dream.
Totally stupid that her kids did not recognize her at memorial and why would she hide the murder if it was self defense. It was her perfect out at least make it make sense writers!
That too. Yes Y&R is getting rid
Agree and why no DNA test on her remains!! Totally fake
I wondered right away why they wouldn’t check the body’s dental records, which is SOP for burn victims. Only in Hollywood can they play it any way they like!
Pj, Exactly!! So Stupid! Unrealistic!
I agree ! And I’m so sick of the Phyllis and Diane debacle. And how could she drag a man that size or even put him in a car if that’s what she does lol
Lol.
I agree I set there waiting for someone expecting Diane.
I though so too! Her face was so clearly Phyllis !
Agreed
I had the same thoughts on both counts. There must be some genius plot afoot with the writers. Wouldn’t that be refreshing! The writers are doing a better job these days. Please, keep it coming!
I agree. I would appreciate it if they kept it ….. somewhat real! “Make some sense.”
I know right? Ridiculous.
Pj I totally agree, and that’s what soap opera writers do keep you guessing!!
I agree. That was her perfect out. She could have told everyone that Stark poisoned her kidnapped her and plotted the whole thing.
PM, you’re so right, I thought that’s what would and should have happened too!
I absolutely agree with you Pj!
You guys have it right. Hopefully the writers pay attention!
So true I did as well
He definitely bought back something this soap has needed A Life Line , New Storyline
Instead of the same old same old
It was getting so Old with Victor’s same old crap, Jack attaching to anything or anyone to feel he’s loved pathetic and nauseating. Lily can never commit it’s hee way or no way
She and Bully were great together now they have Daniel back he was and is half hazard
He say’s his mother can never hold herself accountable, he needs to look in the mirror Y&R always has too many storylines as well as people going on and it hasn’t meshed flowed well
The writer’s all need to step back and start writing as great as they use to
Between Nikki the stripper and victor the orphaned abandoned little boy Acting Like They Are Above All
How PATHETIC THE BOTH OF FHEM ARE ACTING
Very convoluted
I agree with everything you said
I’ve loved him over the years on the LIFETIME network. He’s an amazing actor and extremely handsome. ❤️
I agree, he is great actor that I enjoyed watching. I love Phyllis too. May we have a different person under that shower curtain?
I agree he doesn’t need to be gone yet. I don’t believe it how is she going to depose the body without any one seeing her. And there was no blood on the sheet.
I read on a Spoiler that Phyllis puts Starks body in a dumpster and calls Jack to help her.
Yeah, that’s probably what she’ll do!
Same stories over and over.źzzzzzzzz
No leave him off the show!! Why didn’t phyills call the cops & tell them that he was holding her against her will & he threatened to hurt her family an posin her & made her marry him & get her money & then try to kill her , where she would be in the clear !! But don’t bring him back !!!!
Everyone thinks Phyllis is dead. So why doesn’t she just leave Jeremy there and leave! As if she’ll be able to haul that body and not be seen!!
I agree.
Agree
This was her way out. Come on writers! Let somebody catch her then she pleads temporary insanity
In the mean time Diane gets out of jail steals jacks (he’s so p—-y sickening) and everybody laughs at him and tells him we told you so!!!!
Agree with you, Cathy!
No don’t bring him back he slimy
Noooo didn’t like him
Love the show but please bring him back. He adds such great drama and his character is just what Phyllis needs. They are each others match.
Yes, I liked him also. He made the soap very rewarding and suspenseful. Bring him back please.
Keep Jeremy Stark and kill Phyllis off for good. Why does she whisper so much? Can’t stand her.
Did anyone else see an arm move as Phyllis dragged body our? No blood on the sheet?
I agree, just a bad dream.
Yes, let it be a really BADDDD, dream, no twins the two are great together, let Diane go down down down
Yes I want to see more of him
I agree!! I love his character! I didn’t want to see him go! I’m so sad~ I wanted Leanna Love to get her interview with the handsome actor ~ Playing Jeramy Stark!
You will be missed you handsome & gorgeous force to be recklessly with! Let us fans know where we can find you next please!?!
PS. Sometimes I think it this fabulous soap should be called,~
“The Young & The Reckless” bc they all seem to get a little Reckless with the Restless!! Been watching for over 42 years now! Keep em’ coming! Not ever a bad episode. I feel like I grew up w/Christine on the show bc she & Danny, they are who I started watching during summer break from middle school.. then called Jr. High; I was 14 & loved that it came on 5 days a week! I had to start recording it later on but that was one ☝ great summer and I love that some of the same actors like Nikki, Victor and Jack are still on the show! Love my CBS Soaps and my Paramount App! Thx for all the memories ~ and entertainment! Die-hard fan, Suzanne L of Seattle~ #KeepItSoapy! 😉
To young and the restless ❤️
Love this show I watch it all week every week
I also do
James Hyde was so dramatic and strong. A pleasure to watch and hope he or his twin turns.
Agree
She should have played it out, saying he kidnapped her from ambulance and threatened her family! Totally self defense and believable! Go Phyllis!
Totally agree.Thats what I was thinking.
I agree
Yes!! Exactly how I feel
Denise, this was my thoughts. She could have used this story and gotten back to life without any problems. Crazy to try to hide self defense. What are the writers thinking??
Agree, the writers must be on vacation!
Agreed
I totally agree with you Denise and others above! Go Phyllis! I would love to see Jemery’s revenge twin come to GC after Diane has rotted in jail for a ‘minute’ and then gets out and her nuptials to Jack back on track…
Yes,she sure should.. they then should have Harrison’s mom come back at the same time Kyle and Summer are tripp’n ..I want Abby pregnant by Devon & Diane in Jail
I want Victoria and Nate to keep things going to where Victoria becomes his Stalker…let Sharon have a love life
Agree!
I really like the stark character. I would love to see him come back as a different person maybe as a wealthy millionaire to take on some of the wealthiest in genoe city . He is a handsomely talented actor who has a lot of charisma. Makes some good arm candy.
Bring James Hyde back to Y&R, he brought life and excitement back to the show. Now we go back to the old dull show
Totally agree
They should have played the self defense card all the way! Have Phyllis reveal Jeremy kidnapped her and was holding her hostage! That he had threatened her children’s lives if she didn’t go through with it! That way she is finally treated with the love and respect she deserves! Not for her children to realize it after she is gone. Let Jack hit rock bottom by clinging on to that woman who claims to have changed….NOT! I hope the bring Jeremy’s twin back to continue on this storyline. It’s really brought to Y&R . Besides the same old Victor controlling everyone. Victoria condemning others as she as much as a disgrace! Jack needs to have a reality check! But most of all bring Phyllis back we’re those who turned on her! Give her the support and love she deserves.
Time for Diane to go again and not back. She a real joke.
Like James said last night , “was I really under that sheet?”
I wish they’d bring him back. Such a great actor. Really made for an interesting character.
Yes he brought action to the story. Shook up GC for a change.
Indeed he did!
If you look closely it’s not a sheet he is under it’s the shower curtain
Don’t Finish off Jeremy!!! James is a fantastic asset to the show. He could definitely breathe new life into Y&R. The new power couple of Genoa City, Phyllis and Jeremy.
Yes totally agree
Knock victor and Nikki off their thrones
Have Phylis come into all of Jeremy’s funds and be a true equal financially to the black knight
I wish Tucker could have been that person !!!
I can see Tucker and Ashley taking on that power duo as well as Phyllis and ?…dare I say Adam? No rotten eggs please…I can envision the latter couple truly turning GC upside down with drama, passion and intrigue. What say you?
Kill him! Let Phyllis come back,and let Diane off the hook and then bring his twin hot brother back with blonde or black hair!
Heck ya
Completely agree!!
James Hyde was a great addition to the Y&R. He & Michelle were great together. Please bring him back,” somehow”.
No let him die
That’s right let him die and please don’t bring back no twin.
I really believe he is not dead. I love this drama. What is Michelle going to do now?
I am glad Jeremy is gone but she should have left in the motel room and called chance telling him Jeremy had her captive and was going to kill her and they found and Phyllis won. She just wanted to get to her children because stark threaten them, and she was affaird.
Exactly
Don’t like the story line I was completely confused should of frame diane with something better than that and shark Demise.was not well though out just saying
I agree
Totally agree
Phylis nor the writer’s thought this through ax usual
Poor writing
I agree. She was fighting for her life. Let him stay dead and never come back. Let Diane come to her true self and let us see what Alley is truly about. Don’t think she can be trusted. It would serve Jack right. He falls for anything and anybody. Let Tucker find him a real woman cuz Ashley is not worth the trouble. Tucker has his issues but he can do better than her. Last but not least bring Devon to his senses and let the spoil brat go back to her daddy so Elana can have Devon again and Nate and Victoria can lose EVERYTHING.
We need some real time and some excitement and happiness with the right people on this soap.
Agree with all you said, Thornton!
I totally agree, she has to inform Chance Stark threatened her and her kids. She had no other choice to continue with his plan. He wanted Diane to go to priding first life! Then he tried to kill her with a pair of scissors, she got them away from him and was defending herself!
I agree ! Get on with it already.
Yes! Crazy how they let thos go down!
I was looking forward to this new hot steamy connection Phyliss / Jeremy journey together. Redux
So was J
Everyone else is boring
I would imagine that Phillis will say that she was abducted and forced to married him as he stole her money. To many ways for her to get out of this one.
Jeremy was a great character and should, somehow return.
Jill,
You are very right, also she can use self defense, or could have if she hadn’t wiped all the finger prints off the shears, hers and his. This whole story is moot any way. She’ll be back soon. I hope her kids never forgive her. Like everyone says, Phyllis was never afraid of anyone, let alone Diane. I feel sorry for her having that daughter-in-law from hell.
I agree with you
Why are u the only ond taking up for Diane ?????? I hope Somer destroys her !! Love what she told that evil witch ! Can’t stand Diane & no one else likes her ! Least Phyllis couldn’t leave her kids like ole Diane did ! Diane I’s up to taking everything jacks has !
I agree, I hope her kids never forgive her either. Phyllis’s role is always one of a bad underling never to be trusted or decent as a true friend.
PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE BRING JAMES HYDE back somehow and soon!!! He was such an exciting addition to the Y & R family!!
We love Jeremy Stark. He’s not only handsome . He’s a great addition as a older man lead! I’d love to see him and Phyllis as a power couple. And while you are at it, you have to stop with her children being so hateful to her. That’s just wrong!
I agree Phillas should be happy. And her daughter should get over herself and treat her mom with respect. And Victor is the Best man on the soap. I love Victor.
I didn’t want Jeremy to be killed off. I didn’t know where they were going with the story but he was great with Phyllis we need more eligible men in Genoa City
Yvonne, I agree…….
Why Christine (Lauralee Bell), who owns/directs the show doesn’t step in and take the viewers suggestions is beyond me.
I’ve been watching this show for over 30 years and it’s almost not worth watching anymore.
The current writers are causing the show to lose viewers and ratings. Please do something!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree get new writers hasn’t changed much in 50 yrs.
Nikki has turned out to be a fuddy dud old lady.
And they dress her like one. It’s a shame.
Leave Nicholas along him n Ref make a beautiful couple.
I love Red she makes the show.
I’ve been watching the whole 50 yrs! Watching as a child with my grandma! You never know what’s going to happen!
Phyllis is amazing and so was Jeremy Stark. Phyllis now needs to make it seem like Jeremy had her kidnapped and faked her death so he could rob her of her fortune.. then all is well with the kids and everyone else
I think Phyllis should stay in hiding until Diana is in jail for good I don’t like her and want her gone but if Phyllis reappears Diana is free and she wins what was all the plotting for Phyllis if you let her win
I would love for Phyllis to pull off a self defense claim, blame stark for framing Diane and get Diane freed. Phyllis becomes a hero for being the one to free Diane and absolve herself. Her children are thrilled and Kyle & Jack along with Michael get to be right about Diane’s innocence. Then just when everyone thinks it’s all done with, Chance finds out that it was Stark AND Phyllis. When Stark saw that Phyllis was about to flip, he sent breadcrumbs to Chance to cover his butt. Lol, I know Y&R is not going to read this. Just my version of events.
Now that’s a plot line I can agree with. Phyllis is nothing if not smart. There’s anyways a method to her madness!
I totally agree, but the writers are terrible so it probably won’t happen this way either.
I agree send Diane to jail for good
I like the chemistry between Phyllis and Stark, too bad Phillips couldn’t find a way to have it appear that Diane killed Stark!!!!
Leave Diane alone, she gets to change just like Phyllis , Sharon Nikki…I love Diane for Jack, plus it’s nice to see a grown woman with the leading older men. She authentically her self and beautiful.
!00% agree!!!!! I love Diane for Jack too, FInally, they found someone more age-appropriate, and she is Kyle’s mother. When will they leave Diane alone?
On soaps you never if a person dead for sure. They didn’t show what or who rap in the Sheets. Who no he could pop up months from now. How’s now going show up alive with Jeremy already dead. How can she say Jeremy dead?? How she say he made her fake her death with him.it weird they both went in bathroom then show what look like a body rap in sheets.but no for sure show what’s in the sheets
I loved his character but wish he was a good guy so he could stay on the show! Easy on the eyes too lol.
Maybe a twin brother could appear as mentioned l! You never know with a soap!
I loved this story line. What a great actor. He and Michelle are awesome. I Would love to see him return
I’m happy to see Jeremy startup but he did make a good actor he was pretty good he kept everybody on their toes on the show that’s for sure
First, let Victoria fall off her throne. Victor did his son wrong again. Leave Victoria’s assistant alone and let them be happy. Let Diane sweat it out a little longer. Michael shouldn’t have taken her case. Jack acts like a love sick fool. Don’t like Sally Spectra w/Nick at all. Two brothers that’s nasty. Give Nick something else to do.
Totally agree Sally should not be with Nick. Adam and Sally are much better together. And please don’t go there with Sharon and Chance!! Yuk!
Why did he have to get killed off. I really liked him and Phyllis together. Jeremy was good with Phyllis. And Sally needs to be with Adam not Nick. Why do y’all make Nick so weak. He needs to not be with Sally.
Maybe it is the ambulance driver who was killed.
Just saying.
Phyllis should have called the police and acted like Jeremy had held her hostage and forced her to marry him, staged her death to get Diane put in jail. He tried to kill her when she tried to escape, they fought and she stabbed him. Could gave been her way home.
Agree with Cathy! That would have been the way to write it.
I had watched that scene twice, I enjoyed every bit of it.
I am quite sure that Phyllis finds a way out of this dilemma like she does everything else. Love me some Phyllis. Jeremy was not bad himself. Thanks Y & R for the pick-me-up. Loved it. OAN: help some of the others with some kind of good drama!!!!
Phyllis should have called police after killing stark. She could have said he kidnapped her and forced the marriage. He then attacked her and she killed him in self defense
YEP!
Phyllis should have called police and said he kidnapped her and forced her to marry her. Then he attacked her and she killed him in self defense
Why in the world did they have Phyllis cover it up. She could have claimed self defense and said Diane was in on it with Stark.
I Am Sorry but…I want Phyllis to have it all! I want Jack and her kids to realize that Phyllis has been right all along! I want Jack and Phyllis to have the perfect marriage. Though Phyllis has always seemed to go from man to man her true love is Jack! Let them run the Abbott household! Let Phyllis go back to work for her daughter! Let Phyllis be the new change for Y&R! The mother that her children need, the wife that Jack needs and the true friend that Nikki, Ashley and Lauren need! Let Phyllis be your leading lady right behind Nikki!!! The old generation Y&R can lead the young Y&R! There are so many storylines yet to be created! Love the show! Keep up the good work!!
Yesss! Except the part about Jack and Phyllis getting married…Jack does not deserve her.
I am tired of Phyllis and her obsession with Diane. I don’t like Phyllis or Nikki or Ashley. I was not watching when Diane was on years ago and so I don’t share their hatred for the character! All of these petty women have done comparably bad things and their characterization of Diane as the worst person ever born on the planet seems hypocritical! Do I want Stark to return? Not if this ridiculous feud with Diane continues! Also did they use a real corpse to fool the cops into thinking Phyllis and the other ambulance person were dead! I don’t get that part!
Anita, I 100% agree
Can’t stand Phyllis or Nikki or Ashley! Bunch of petty hypocrites! Do not want Stark to come back. Summer is annoying also!
I agree, I don’t like any of them either, including Victoria & Victor. I would love to see their comeuppance.
I was surprised, it was an unexpected ending for me, but it worked. I thought he would kidnap Phyllis and hold her captive for awhile. It will be fun to see how she spins her return to Genoa City.
I liked Jeremy, bring him back. Can’t stand Diane. Let Jack keep her. Don’t like the way he did Phyllis, someone he was supposed to have loved so deeply. Bring Jeremy back. As a twin.
I don’t understand this story line. Her being able to get Stark instead of him getting her gave her the perfect out! She could have blamed it all on him, and went home! She could have stated he kidnapped her from the ambulance, and was holding her captive. She could have stated he forged the marriage to him. The whole thing is a really big mess now! Very frustrating! Like no one is going to see her dragging a dead body? Walking around with blood all over her!? Truly unrealistic story line!
The whole thing is ridiculous! I guess Phyllis will try to spin it that it was Jeremy and Diane who plotted the whole thing because she probably doesn’t want Diane to go free. She’ll probably say that Stark mustve double crossed Diane to get back at her for framing him.The whole thing is aggrevating!
Hated this stupid storyline! She puts on a horrible wig and glasses and no one notices(duh). Then she kills him and has the perfect out of this mess, but no. Dumb dumb dumb.
I would like him back in some way…handsome with a touch of evil.
Bring him back as his twin brother!
I think Phyllis should come out and say it was a kidnapping.And that Jeremy forced her to fake her death.As far as the self-defense thing.Thats a mystery to be figured out.Hope it turns out for the best…
I loved this scene had me sitting on the edge of my seat.I’m waiting to see how Phyllis get out of this.Great acting.Great writers.
Agreed !
Bring him back. This is like having 3 Sheila actors that keep the soaps fun.
Bring Jeremy back I loved him on the show. He’s fiery and not too bad on the eyes. Make him a good guy though like Michelle said nothing like a do gooder twin brother. Staying tuned. He and Phyllis looked good together ❤️
I wish Jeremy and Phyllis had continued to be a couple. Will miss his handsome face,hope you bring him back soon.
Yes, he is hot!
Been watching Y&R since day#1 and I’m sorry to say this, but I’m happy to see Jeremy Stark go. One problem, though….I do find it somewhat difficult believing Phyllis able to overtake him alone and killing him. Then, again, I’ve been surprised before at storyline endings. So, what will be, will be. Just ❤️ this soap!!
How will Phyllis made her come back? Will her kids believe in her. When will Diane get what she deserves.
I was hoping Phyllis was gone
No she’s the best actress on the show!!!!
Diane is still there. Phyllis has been the bad seed from the begining. Clean up your act and get some counseling. Jeremy’s character played the part so good but he didn’t take Diane with him.
Im glad he is gone. It was getting a little too stupid. I mean what woman is that obsessed. Get another story line please. Get Victor off Adams ass. Let Dianne screw up and show Jack that she hasn’t changed and give Kyle some gonads. To me the whole show is stupid right now.
Please bring Jeremy back , he’s a man to be reckoned with, Phyliss and him are dynamic together! Somehow please bring him back .Such a great actor and brings something to the show that’s been needed!
I thought he was a great addition to the show and not “hard on the eyes”!! I liked him with Phyllis, too! I think you should bring his twin back as Phyllis’s new love interest cause they had great chemistry!
Please bring him back!!!!
Honestly, Phyllis should have made it look as though Stark was holding her captive/kidnapped her to set Diane up, but she was able to turn the tables on him before he could kill her! This whole scheme would have been put on Stark and she would have been able to come back to her kids…..no harm no foul!!
Phyllis and Jeremy they seems to be a good match. I love him, and his gorgeous Bring him back for Phyllis.

Beyond the Gates
Ashley Jones Makes Her ‘Beyond the Gates’ Debut in a Shocking Reveal as ‘The Impaler’
As had been teased, the Monday, June 8 episode of Beyond the Gates brought with the the identity of The Impaler, the long-talked-about head of the blood plasma ring that involved Grayson Perez (Jordi Vilasuso), Dr. Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht), got Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin) killed and had Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) going under cover to nab the criminal.
Only in a major surprise and best kept secret, The Impaler turned out to be Joey’s Armstrong’s (Jon Lindstrom) younger sister, Heather, played by Ashley Jones! As we previously reported in April, Jones had joined the newest CBS daytime drama but we never knew what part she was playing until now.
This marks the first time in her veteran soap opera career she has played a nefarious evildoer. Previously, Ashley has been recurring as The Bold and the Beautiful as Dr. Bridget Forrester, portrayed Professor Parker Forsyth on General Hospital, plus got her soap start as Megan Dennison on The Young and the Restless.

SIBLING RIVALRY
If you caught today’s Beyond the Gates, in story, as Joey was awaiting coming face-to-face with The Impaler, he instead gets paid a visit from a woman in a cloak that initially concealed her face. When she revealed herself, Joey knew exactly who it was … his sister. Joey wondered how she is involved with The Impaler.
Apparently, it’s been a long while since the siblings had seen each other. Heather informed Joey she lived in London, and as Joey was trying to figure out the connection between her and The Impaler, she dropped the bombshell, “Oh, my dear brother. I am The Impaler.”
Joey initially laughed her off, until she explained she intentionally made everyone believe The Impaler was a man as a decoy. Suddenly, Joey realized this is not the same version of his sister he knew before, especially when she said, “I’m not the little girl you have to protect anymore. I’ve found my power.”
In the further backstory of the Armstrong children, Heather brings up how their father has used physical violence on Joey, while she dealt with his belief that a woman’s place is in the home, and raising children and to leave the mob business to the boys. As it turns out, Heather wants to work side by side with Joey combining forces to run their illegal activities. Later, when Joey admitted to Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) that his sister had come to town. and he doesn’t really know of her true intentions, he left out the fact that Heather is The Impaler!

PLAYING A VILLAIN ON DAYTIME
Speaking with Parade, Jones said that she knew early on that she would be The Impaler, but wasn’t sure what that actually meant, “I hadn’t watched enough of the show, so I did a little research, explained Ashley. “I was like, ‘Oh, they talk about the Impaler a decent amount,’ and then I knew that I was somehow related to Joey Armstrong. So, I knew those two things, and I knew she was the head of a crime ring, and that was kind of all the information I got.”
Jones shared her enthusiasm to getting to play a villain on a soap, adding, “This is probably one of the more complicated characters I’ve ever played. There’s a lot to her,” obviously, at this point, people will know she’s the Impaler. She’s kind of the villain. I haven’t played this in Daytime really ever.”
What do you think about the reveal of Ashley Jones as Joey’s sister, Heather being the notorious Impaler? It seems that Beyond the Gates as pulled off yet another shocker! Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out the reveal from today’s episode.
In a surprise casting move, General Hospital has recast the role of Serena Baldwin, the biological daughter of Scott Baldwin and the late Dominque Stanton with former The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful actress, Kelly Kruger.
As longtime GH viewers know, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) was actually the surrogate for Scott (Kin Shriner) and Dominique (Shell Danielson), since the latte was dying from an inoperable brain tumor. Sadly, she passed away before Serena was born. If you recall, Scott and Lucy named Serena after Dominique’s family estate, Serenity. TV Insider shared the casting news of Kruger taking over the role previously played by Carly Schroeder.
Kruger expressed on joining GH, “I am so excited to be joining the show “It’s a literal dream come true to finally get to work with Frank Valentini (EP, GH) and Mark Teschner (casting director, GH) after all these years! Daytime has a very special place in my heart, and I have always wanted to work with the actors and writers on this show. I truly believe the level of talent and work they put out is the absolute best.”

The actress starts filming today on June 8 at the set of the ABC soap opera. In a statement, Frank Valentini shared, “I am excited to have Kelly Kruger join the cast of General Hospital. She’s a terrific actor and we look forward to working with her.”
Daytime fans remember Kelly from The Young and the Restless where she played the role of Katherine Chancellor’s (the late Jeanne Cooper) granddaughter, Mackenzie Browning from 2002 to 2003 and reprised the role in 2018 and 2019. Later, she appeared in the recurring role of the publicist named Eva on The Bold and the Beautiful (named after longtime VP communications vet, Eva Basler who was recently let go by the show in their behind the scenes layoffs).
SERENA HEADS BACK TO PORT CHARLES
The character of Serena was last seen on-screen in 2017, when she returned to town to mourn her grandfather, Lee Baldwin (the late Peter Hansen). The last time we heard of an update on Serena’s life was back in 2022, when Scott shared he made a trip to the Faroe Islands to see his daughter because she has been arrested for getting in trouble with dolphin hunters.
When Serena returns to Port Charles, she will also have a half-brother on the canvas in Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) as well as Lucy. Will we have more of Scott on the screen too? We shall see.
Since being away from the soaps, Kruger has become a major TikTok influencer and content creator in the beauty world. In fact, Kelly was named TikTok Shop’s Beauty Creator of the Year in 2025.
Previously, Kruger was married to Darin Brooks (Wyatt Spencer, The Bold and the Beautiful) who also just recently returned to daytime. She opened up about their split back in March. The two share daughters Everleigh Jolie, 6, and Gemma Wynter, 4.
As a preview of what’s to come, Kruger commented on Threads, “This is the absolute perfect fit and I can’t wait for you all to meet Serena!!!!! There is truly no world like the soap world. The fans, the community and the family. I’m so so grateful.” Since GH generally tapes six weeks in advance of air, fans can expect to see Kelly as Serena later in July, although no official first airdate is available at this time.
What do you think of General Hospital bringing back the character of Serena Baldwin and casting Kelly Kruger in the part? Who do you think Serena will be a new love interest for on the canvas? Could it be Ethan Lovett or someone else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
