Y&R’s Mishael Morgan Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’
To facilitate the exit of Daytime Emmy winner, Mishael Morgan (Amanda Sinclair), The Young and the Restless moved the story forward in a big way to finally have Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) succumb to their feelings for each other and have sex.
However, they were caught in the act and its aftermath by Amanda along with Abby’s hubby, Chance (Conner Floyd). That set the stage for highly emotional scenes for Morgan who’s Genoa City alter-ego got to read Devon the riot act.
No one does fiery rage combined with pain better than Morgan, and when she berates and lays into Devon for cheating on her with Abby, it brought up all of Amanda’s past insecurities, but also saw her standing firm on her decision – that it’s over between her and Devon.
In story, Amanda had been taking care of her gravely ill mother, Naya and getting closer to the family she never had earlier in her life.  When she returned to Genoa City to see Devon, she found him with Abby rolling around on the couch of his penthouse.  Alone with Devon, you can feel how his betrayal burned into her.

Later, Amanda is visited by Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and the good friends commiserate over Amanda’s devastation of finding Devon with Abby, but also how they will miss each other, since Amanda has decided to head back to Virginia.
Even in her final goodbye to Devon, which left their relationship decimated, Morgan made you feel all of the inner pain and turmoil of a woman who knows she has to move on with her life without the man she loves, but will hold her head high in doing so.
Morgan recently revealed her status with the top-rated CBS daytime drama series. She has gone on recurring status with the show and is stepping back from the show, with hopes she will be return sometime in the future. But for now, Mishael is concentrating on new adventures and roles in her acting career.
As she exits, Michael Fairman TV names Mishael Morgan’s work, The Power Performance of the Week.
So, what did you think about the scenes where Amanda went off on Devon for hooking up with Abby? Will you miss Mishael on Y&R? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, check out some of this week’s moments from Mishael’s ‘Power Performance’ below.
Devon is a fool, So self-righteous with everyone else, but doesn’t hold himself the same standards. Amanda deserves better. Mishael, you will be missed!
Oh my gosh what have they done to the chancellor set?? So sad
It’s a shame! It was one of the best sets.
Glad you mentioned this, K. I used to love Katherine’s house. Even though it was a rich person’s set, it always felt homey to me…a place I’d like to spend time in. Now it’s about as welcoming as Noah’s “Jetsons”-style club. I mean, how many styles can you mix into one room? Ugh!
Hoping it’s just temporary
Was it supposed to be like a saloon?! Lolll
Don’t understand why of all the soaps Y n R being the most watched has the lamest sets. The Newman ranch and that crummy park set especially!
We haven’t seen Sharon’s place ,Nick’s place , GCPD set…forget about Lauren and Michael’s place
Damien, glad you mentioned Nick’s place/set being off camera for months. I could swear I spotted some of Nick’s wall decor in Noah’s nauseating nightspot. Set sharing or a donation from Dad? Either way, I still miss the old Newman ranch. As cluttered as it was, it made you feel cozy during the holidays especially. This newer place is as welcoming as a mausoleum. The holidays only feel nice at the Abbotts. At least they’re not all at each other’s throats like the Newman clan. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if Victoria starts blaming Adam for climate change!
Soaphound, Damien, et all
Yes, what on God’s Green Earth have they done to Mrs. C’s place? The Newman Ranch is contained into a smaller area and as you mentioned, Nick is homeless, and what has become of his son? Noah’s place looks like Brothels I’ve seen in movies, etc.and who wants to sit on those cushioned love seats that some drunken couple have been slobbering all over? Just adding my 2 cents. Have a very nice Thanksgiving to you all
The performances from all characters was phenomenal, but Abby really stood out for me. Her confusion & despair was palpable. As awful as her actions were, it was easy to feel some sympathy for her. Amanda reacted exactly as expected & right in line with her character’s traits. Devon’s reaction (not the acting, the writing) was too subdued. Even if we believe that he had feelings for Abby before they got together (and I do believe he did), I still think his character would have been more mortified than what he exhibited. He’s obsessed with right & wrong, so we’d expect him to be ashamed of his actions.
It’s always fun to surprise viewers & this definitely surprised me. I expected just a kiss & instead things moved much quicker.

Sympathy for Abby, why? No one did anything to her except Devon, which she seemed to enjoy. Poor little rich girl never deserved a stand-up guy like Chance. Actually, Devon is exactly what she needs. They can vie and compete for attention. How much fun is that?
Mishael did a great job. her lines to devon were spot on and about michelle stafford. she is the one and only phyllis the scenes where she let amanda know how she would miss her and had no real friends was a standout. the reason michelle has always worked as phyllis is because you feel her vulnerability eileen davidson had that on days as kristen while stacy h does not. a great villain always has a vulnerability and back to mishael great job you’ll be missed
Mishael in just two days breathes so much energy in the boring Devon and Abby drama. Her talent is immense! Hope Mishael pops in often to visit her sis Imani , Leigh Ann Rose when she hopefully returns to prey on Nate. Imani, Nate and Elena should carry on the Winters legacy simply because all three actors have presence while I find unfortunately Lily and Devon to be like Abby just ok on a good day, boring on most.
The ptb should treat Mishael like Eileen Davidson and do whatever it takes to support her schedule for pop ins until she’s ready for a story arc.
Mishael was phenomonal; probably her best scenes just as she’s leaving!!! How neither Devon nor Abby could expect Amanda or Chance to come back after walking in on that beats me. Devon was so self-righteous and hard done by when Elena cheated on him with Nate, no forgiveness there, but when it’s all about him it’s a different story so he thinks. Also liked the scenes between Mishael and Michelle Stafford – the shock on Phyllis’ face when Amanda told her was perfect – just as it should be.
I, respectfully, disagree about Mishael’s deliverance as being awesome—she’s a great actress, but I must give praise to Melissa (Abby)–she holds that honor for me—which makes me take back some of my not-so-appreciative words.
As much as I disagree with her lame excuse for cheating (in my opinion, there is no excuse for cheating), “Abby” poured her heart out to Chance. I felt her sincerity and pain. She was magnificently credible. —-did not expect it!! Kudos. I wonder—-would she have “fallen” if she had no feelings for Devon?
Chelsea’s and Connor’s reunion—OK, so I cried!!
Yes, Yes Celia. I felt so bad for Chelsea during those scenes. I think this story has been beautifully dealt with… not too much time bogged down in the hospital but concentrating on Chelsea’s recovery. Excellent performances all around. My ma normally has no patience for child actors bur declared that young Conner is “some little professional already.” I agree. And I’d like to see Sharon have an actual gal pal instead of just babysitting all the town hunks. BTW, Nick’s behavior has turned from appalling to unforgivable to me. The man should carry a personal fire extinguisher aimed at his, um, inappropriate desires.
It would be remiss of me not to applaud Melissa Claire Egan—best performance ( overall) on Y&R fro a long time.
I could kick myself for underestimating her talent. She has been so real throughout Chelsea’s ordeal. I have no words—-so very unlike me to be speechless. Kudos!!
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16
General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer.Â
Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.
As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY
Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.
Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS
Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.
In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”
So, what did you think of General Hospital’s 16,000 episode? What do you think is wrong with Jason? What is the important “work” that Anna has to do? Were you glad to see Sonny get a seat on the hospital board, or not so much. Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes on Jason and Tristan’s long flight to Port Charles.
This week on General Hospital begins with the ABC soap opera’s 16,000th episode which brings Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) back to Port Charles after being released by the WSB; all thanks to the deal made between Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Z (John Oliver).
On the same episode, the upshot of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) coming face to face, and seeing each other for the first time in months plays itself out, and it may not be how you think. Josslyn hopes sending Valentin to the side of Anna, will break up his burgeoning relationship with her mother, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), but will it?
It appears Valentin has a warning for Anna. In the GH video preview for the episode, Anna is seen saying “How do you know that?” What does Valentin know, and will he be the person that will catch on that she is being haunted by the ghost of Peter August (Wes Ramsey)?

In addition, look for the debut of Dean Geyer in his role of Dr. Tristan Roberts (named after the beloved late Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio), as he and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) may have a tense exchange or two.
Then, in the aftermath of their argument, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asks Chase (Josh Swickard) “Did I push you towards Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)?” Is Chase going to admit his fixation with his ex-wife, or reassure his current wife that he is not interested in Willow? Stay tuned.
Finally, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) is seen talking to someone saying that the idea of this person filling the 16th seat on the hospital board is a great idea. Who is she talking to?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sidwell Offers Jordan a Way to Get Surgery On Her Face; Will She Cave and Comply with His Demands?
On General Hospital, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) finally had it out at the PCPD. The scenes played out on the Thursday, July 9 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
In story, Sidwell requested a meeting with Jordan. Angered, he wanted to know why she’d given the police the location of his safe house. After months of being undercover, Jordan finally admitted the truth!
Jordan reveals the entire time she was gaining his trust, she was working on the inside at SRE Worldwide, to find evidence against him and bring him down. Snidely, Jenz admitted he’d been suspicious initially of Jordan. However, she eventually won him over, and he saw the value in her being the pretty, public face of his criminal organization to throw everyone off.

Trying to make a deal to save his own skin, Sidwell offers to pay for restorative plastic surgery for Jordan’s face, and at the same renowned German clinic that had treated Michael (Rory Gibson) for his severe burns.
Sidwell tells Jordan if she would go to Zurich and empty some bank accounts for him, he will help her jump ahead of the long waiting list to get into the clinic. Defiant and standing up to him, Jordan turns down his offer.
Next, Sidwell threatens her intently, that he’ll find a way to pay Jordan back by making her life miserable. He tells her she will suffer and regret turning him down.
Once she exits the PCPD interrogation room, Jordan takes a deep breath, but brings her hands to the scars on her face from the car crash that injured her.
Is Jordan actually contemplating Sidwell deal to get her into the German clinic? If so, will she be the person to set him free into the world with loads of cash from his overseas bank accounts? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
