Y&R's Sean Carrigan Weighs-In On The Paternity Tests Results Of Victoria's Baby & What's Next For Stitch?
Photo Credit: HutchinsPhoto.com
On today’s episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless viewers learned just who is the baby daddy of Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) newborn baby girl Katie … Ben AKA Stitch (Sean Carrigan) or Billy (Burgess Jenkins)?
If you have not see the episode yet, or have not read the results online, then don’t read any further!
While many in the viewing audience have wanted Stitch to be the father, it turned out not to be the case. Billy, according to the DNA test results, is Katie’s biological father, and the results hit Stitch hard.
On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Y&R’s Sean Carrigan at last night’s Hollywood Christmas Parade 2014 to ask him his a few thoughts on the paternity test results and how this spins-off Stitch into developing more of a potential romance with Ashley (Eileen Davidson), and to find out if it’s truly over between Ben and Victoria. Here’s what the popular gent had to say!
So, what was your reaction when you found out in the storyline that Stitch was not going to turn out to be the baby daddy to little Katie?

SEAN: Well, I was bummed! I invested a lot of time in that. I did not know from the beginning of the storyline who the father was going to turn out to be, so to find out that Stitch wasn’t the dad, it was pretty disappointing. I knew about a month or two out that it was the case, so I was truly bummed. I know many people were rooting for Stitch to be the dad, and I thank them for that, and I truly appreciate it.
Now will Stitch be much more in Ashley’s (Eileen Davidson) orbit?
SEAN: Yes! Now it will be an interesting thing between him, Ashley, and Victoria, and what happens now with the baby and Billy. I think also it will be interesting seeing him keeping a personal and professional relationship with Ashley.

So, is this it then? Is Stitch done with Victoria?
SEAN: I will just say, “To be continued …” How about that? (Laughs) Look, I am just excited on how this all worked out with The Young and the Restless!
So, were you happy or disappointed at the results of the paternity test results on today’s Y&R? What did you think of Sean’s comments that he was hoping that his character would turn out to be the dad?
Are you intrigued to see a love match between Ashley and Stitch? Would you ultimately like to see Stitch with Victoria? And what about Abby (Melissa Ordway) in all this ? Share your thoughts below!
I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted Ben to be the father. But instead boring Billy has to be the one. I guess Ben can move on with Ashley.
Me too Ryan, I wanted Stitch to be the daddy. Very disappointed with the results. Billy boy is the daddy, Ben and Ashley will now hook up. That won’t last at all. Stitch belongs with Victoria.
Well Ben does have good chemistry with Victoria so I wouldn’t mind if they got back together. He makes her interesting… something this new Billy just doesn’t do. Still, Ben and Ashley could be a fun pairing and it would have the added bonus of making Victoria a little jealous.
I hope he doesn’t move on with Ashely, Ryan. Inasmuch as I agree with your disappointment….I feel the same way about this nuBilly guy…..I feel that Ashley should be paired with someone her own age. As good and well-preserved as she looks, she shows signs of aging. That is all well and good, we all age, but, she is 15 years older than Sean….old enough to be his mother. Ben needs to move on with someone who will be able to give him children. He so desperately wants another child.
I am so tired of all soaps trying to recycle these actors/actresses by giving them romantic storylines with men/women so much younger or older than they. Just keep it real, that’s all.
It is time for Ashley to be a grandmother. Now, if you ask me, Phyllis and Ben would be great together. Jack is over 20 years older than she….Phyllis did have “daddy” issues, afterall….LOL. Later.
I totally agree with CeeCee, and I hope that the writers realize that the viewers know that there’s a great age difference between Ashley and Stitch. Stitch should have been the baby’s father. Do what you do best “someone changed the paternity”. I want be watching any more . Y & R is becoming like a bad novel.
NOT happy at ALL…
Billy was a baD choice .
Wanted Ben 2 be Katies Dad.
Why Billy thoU.
Old storYlineS.
We neef fresh , positive new storylines BORING
Billy is now at GH along with most of your cast. Why is the question.
“Most” of the cast? LOL
No. I am not intrigued about him and Ashley. Not even a little bit. I am all for stitch and victoria.
me too!! i’m all for stitch and victoria.
nawww boring, Victoria is a sleeper/snore..
I’m for something more exciting..
Ben and Abby … never a dull moment..
but-
I would like to have Ben be free and play the field..
I agree, Su….Stitch and Victoria just don’t mesh for me either. I agree with you 99.9% of the time, especially about GH. You know your stuff.
Heinle was dull and flat as Mia on AMC as she is as Victoria. The only spark I ever saw was with Billy Miller. Then again, he can ignite anyone with those dreamy eyes.
Yes, Ben should play the field, but then settle with Phyllis. She will certainly wake him to life with a pinch or two. Jack is ready for his lounge jacket, ascot and his humidor….give Jack a rest before he injures his back. Men half his age don’t even get that much action….Wow !!
Abby is too willowy and awkward for anyone….no grace about her whatsoever……just my opinion.
Amen to you Molly, totally agree with you. Ben belongs with Victoria Newman. They have so much chemistry together. Big deal, that Billy boy is the daddy.
Ben and Victoria have chemistry? LMAOROTF! Amelia Heinle’s “Victoria” has never had chemistry with anyone but Billy Miller’s “Billy”.
As for Billy being the baby-daddy, that was unexpected, but has much more story potential than if Ben had been. Victor’s head is going to EXPLODE!
I disagree there IS chemistry with Sean and Amelia, and LOTS more story potential with Ben as the daddy than Billy. Victor has never liked Billy, whats new about that???
Bummed. I love Sticky.
Stitch might want to look into Sharon’s whereabouts when the DNA tests were conducted before he throws in the towel on the baby sweepstakes…
Truly disappointed…keep hoping (although recycled storyline) that Maureen switched the results before she fled the hospital. Billy and Victoria have no chemistry and I wish Victoria and Ben would get together. Not hoping for a romance with Ashley and Ben.
Long term, and I do mean long term, Katie being an Abbott Newman has more potential story wise. The father of the child doesn’t mean he has to be the partner of the mother– so Ben could still be with Victoria. However, as a soap couple they are a bit dull– in real life they would be perfect for each other, but soap couples need some fire behind them, and I don’t even see a spark between those two. Ben has a bit more “chemistry” with Ashley– I mean they work in lab don’t they- LOL, but I actually think Ben and Abby have that vibe that if written properly could be a far interesting match up than either Vicky or Ashley.
Mary SF–It’s like you read my mind. I have the exact same thoughts about this. Baby Katie was destined to be an Abbott-Newman to become a legacy character down the line.
Eileen Davidson has “chemistry” with everyone, ergo she is great with “Ben”.
Finally, Abby and Ben would be a hoot, if written properly.
Spot on , IMO.
Also, dear god, NO Ashley-Ben-Abby love triangle. Yuck!
Do you think the writers named the baby Katie as an inside joke because Heather Tom ex-Victoria is playing Katie over at B&B?
Naw that would take some imagination and these writers aren’t that creative–LOL. Kidding aside I truly think they were just honoring Jeanne Cooper by naming a possible legacy character after her old character.
No, its,all about the continued tributes to Jeanne Cooper Katherine
I miss Jeanne Cooper and naming the baby Katie is a great way to honor her memory…
I like the idea of Stitch and an Abby pairing. He doesn’t take any bull from her and puts her in her place perfectly. As stated by others, if written properly, they could become the next super couple. Ashley is too old for him …….and as far as Victoria goes…..I am soooooo sick of her. She has been a spoiled rich bitch for way too long. I think she should be alone for the foreseeable future. Another added bonus for a Stitch/Abbey……maybe she would be so busy with him that she would keep her nose out of other people’s business. She is so obnoxious at times she has the effect of nails scrapping a blackboard for me.
Face it no one is ever going to be satisfied with a recast Billy. Billy Miller was the best, but the current recast is sooo much better than the first one. He was way too young and whiny.
I vote for Stitch and Abbey. Don’t really care about the rest. Devon, Hillary romance is beginning to work my nerves. Don’t understand why the writers had her marry Neil in the first place. The way he talks about her makes my skin crawl as he is old enough to be her father.
I am beyond bummed, but now Ben can be with Ashley. They really ruined Victoria for me these last months. She was selfish not to get the DNA results because of her “high risk” pregnancy. Give me a break. Women have high risk pregnancies all the time and are still able to have amniocentesis done. I ought to know.
Then if it wasn’t enough that Victoria kept the two men in suspense, SHE had to look at the results first! Horrible, horrible. I do not care for the character of Victoria any more and she used to be one of my favorites. Amelia Heinle had amazing chemistry with Billy Miller, but he left. She has zero chemistry with Burgess Jenkins, but has some pretty good chemistry with Sean Carrigan, but again, the writer’s BLEW IT!
Now I am waiting for Adam to come back and get together with Chelsea so I no longer have to hear this Billy call her “Chels” every time they are in a scene together.
I, too, thought that Victoria having to look at the results first was pretty rude, but not unexpected of her. I am not a Vicky hater, but she is a control freak like the Mustache.
The best thing about baby Katie being a Abbott-Newman is for story line and it creates a legacy character. THANKFULLY, today Billy and Vicky can parent their baby but NOT be romantically involved.
I am very disappointed that Stitch was not the father. I wanted the baby to reunite and bo b d them together. He has lost so much, I wanted a new beginning for Stitch and Victoria. I was happy to know Sean’s view on the outcome.
Hmmm…let me see as to W-H-O I think that Stitch should (or shouldn’t) N-O-W hook up with…
1. Ashley…N-O!!!!! I’m sorry but her CONSTANTLY overly-moral behavior WORKS MY NERVES W-A-Y TOO MUCH!!!!! Nope.
2. Abby…N-O!!!!! Abby is W-A-Y TOO MEDDLESOME AND EVEN MORE ANNOYING!!!!! I don’t think so.
3. Victoria…ULTIMATE N-O!!!!! Victoria has become WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH of a train-wreck!!!!! As far as I’m concerned, Stitch can do W-A-Y BETTER than Victoria!!!!!
4. Anita…DEFINITE POSSIBILITY!!!!! I think that Anita is an ULTIMATE COUGAR…who knows WHAT THE HELL she’s doing…LOL!!!!!
5. Chelsea…Y-E-S…HANDS DOWN!!!!! I mean…think about it: Now that it’s revealed that Billy (G-A-G!!!!!) is the baby daddy (MORE G-A-G!!!!!), Billy will probably end up spending Y-E-T more time with that annoying Victoria (B-L-A-H!!!!!) because of baby Katie. If that happens, Billy might pull away (or worse!!!!!) from Chelsea. So…you know what: I think that Stitch and Chelsea should HOOK-UP!!!!! It would serve B-O-T-H Billy and Victoria right!!!!!
6. Or…how about…an Anita/Stitch/Chelsea LOVE TRIANGLE?!?!? I would VERY GLADLY WATCH THAT!!!!! Hey…Anita and Chelsea (mother and daughter) fighting over the same dude (Stitch) would provide Y&R with some MUCH NEEDED COMIC RELIEF!!!!! O-K-A-Y!!!!!
Peace.
I love Anita. She should be on screen much more often!
Definitely NOT into an Anita-Stitch-Chelsea triangle. Anyway, I think Anita chases the money and, for now, Stitch is not in her money league.
I do think a Stitch-Chelsea romance would work one day (MCE has chemistry with everyone. Reminds me of Eileen Davidson in this respect).
For now, we have to get though the coming Billy-Chelsea-Adam triangle.
But, I don;t want to see Stitch back burner-ed. Also, I think it would be amusing to see Stitch and Abby together IF their relationship helped Abby grow up!! Key for Abby.
Mollie…I get what you’re saying. But, if I remember correctly, Anita likes to chase B-O-T-H money and younger men. Example: Remember (at Dylan and Chelsea’s quickie wedding) when Anita kept trying to F-L-I-R-T with Stitch…and right in front of EVERYONE????? As for Abby…I’m sorry but I would N-O-T find a Stitch/Abby pairing amusing because Abby is W-A-Y TOO IMMATURE!!!!! And…I DON’T have the patience (or whatever) to watch Abby go through a ‘growing up’ period…at all. Nope.
Take care, Mollie.
Abbey changed the results and someday it will come out that’s stitch is the father it is just yandrs mo !!!
Don’t kill me, but I was rooting for Stitch & Abby.
I’m in, too!
Lew, I was rooting for Abby and ANYBODY! Last time they threw a party in Genoa City everyone was dancing with their partners and Abby was seen in the background dancing with a broom.
And , pardon my indelicate choice of language but it must be said….Abby needs to get laid like yesterday. She’s sticking her perfectly upturned pug nose into everyone’s business.
ohh dear lord..
Now we get more of the no chem terribly lackluster couple of this Billy and the mopy whiner Victoria..
I’m sorry.. but the new Billy and Victoria is bad, real bad.. ”empty..”
Seeing them hug or kiss gives me the shivers/yuk..
I am happy Ben was saved from being paired with Victoria , it would have been a death knell for him to be tied to that dull do-nothing character….
then poor Ben would be Victoria’s lap dog as Billy was and Victors whipping boy..
Stitch missed the kiss of death on this one .. 🙂
I concur.
I’m very disappointed,Billy has enough kids..
?? He has one kid. Now two.
Billy had delia (rip) , johnny, and a stepson reid. stitch only had one son that he basically lost a whole part of his childhood bc people thinking he killed his dad. so i think he should have been father. to have a second chance to be in this childs life since he wasnt in the others. hopefully Maureen switched those results before she left. and we find out stitch really is the father!!!! 🙂
SO very disappointed that Ben is not the daddy. I think Ashley is too old for him. He belongs with Victoria.
I agree. I believe that Ashley had something to do with Billy turning out to be the father. I think she pulled a “Sharon”! Victoria and Billy tried all this time and could not conceive , so why now? That’s Stitch’s baby. Ashley wanted Billy back with Victoria too bad.
Ashley, might look good for her age but, still…. She’s old enough to be Stitch’s mother. Just sayin… I’m sorry but, this Billy now, can’t compare to the original Billy ( Billy Miller) he’s just so boring and the Billy now and Victoria, just don’t click. He doesn’t click with Chelsea either. Stitch needs to be with Victoria and be the father of her baby. The writer’s screwed up and they never should have let Billy Miller go. He made Billy Abbott his own and I’m sorry but, they haven’t got the right Billy to play his roll yet…. I heard it was over his contract well, they should have agreed to Billy Miller’s terms. It’s not interesting, exciting, etc….. Watching this “Billy” what so ever. I’m not trying to be mean. The Billy they have now is, just plain boring and makes me want to change the channel. Bring the old one back or just let Billy Abbott leave Y&R. Bc, no one would notice anyway……. Just my opinion . Sean Carrigan is so much more exciting and boyishly handsome too. I’ll just wait and watch, like everyone else. Still love my Y&R!
Listen, the Billy Miller Express has moved on and so should you. I am so tired of people waxing poetic about Billy Miller.
Let him go.
Ashley was married to much older Victor at one point. Ben would almost be a Boy-Toy for her. Eileen Davidson could pull it off, as few could, but not the best story line.
Love Y and R, too!
Just the idea of Ben and Ashley is enough to make me ill. I know the writers will go full steam ahead with it because they could care less what the fans want. But theres a 15 year age difference in Sean and Eileen and its just icky.
I am not feeling them together, either. At all. God forbid it become a love triangle between Ashley-Stitch -Abby. Yuck. Mother/daughter and same guy is very creepy.
JFP and her gang of worthless writers have destroyed this show for me.Billy is so boring that is not worth my wasting an hour to watch this show.I am done with Y&R after 25 yrs of watching.
NO, I want Stitch and Victoria together.
Why? Hasn’t Stitch suffered enough?
Stitch needs to move on with Abby. make victoria jealous because she has put him through so much and she will probably end up getting back with billy!!!! i cant stand victoria.
NO!!
Stitch is a good character..
If, Ben is tied down with lackluster Victoria sitting on a couch listening to Victor berate him all while Victoria is changing diapers would be DOA !!
Victoria is a do-nothing character..
she does nothing .. she has no life.. she is a snor..
If, Ben is stuck with her he will turn into a snore..
Sean Carrigan /Ben would kill his worth being stuck with the sad sack mopy whiner Victoria..
The best thing that happened to Sean Carrigan/Ben is being free of being paired with Victoria..
Long live Ben far away from the kiss of the death Victoria.. !!
Stitch should have been the father. He deserved it and he is the only one that has chemistry with Victoria. Disappointing.
Michael Fairman. how dare you post this spoiler in here! Please wait until I have watched the episode which has aired. I fully expect you to wait at least two weeks before revealing the happenings of the daily episodes.
Seriously, people are getting out of control with their shrillness about spoilers. Not here, but on Twitter and various entertainment boards and pages.
That said, I was really rooting for Stitch. I don’t want him paired up with Victoria, however. I’d like to see him paired up with someone worthy of him.
I posted this elsewhere, but I don’t understand why it is Victoria was able to keep both Billy and Ben in the dark as far as the paternity is concerned for the entire gestation period and no one called her out for it. What a cruel thing to do which ultimately ended up being the cruelest blow to Stitch. Meanwhile, Icky became jealous anytime any of her boys seemed to move on with other women. It seemed to me that keeping the paternity a secret was the ultimate act of manipulation.
Really, if you think about it, had Sharon pulled such a stunt everyone in town would be giving her the riot act and then they’d run her out of town.
Dang Harry, and i wanted to tell you the spoiler about the two Flukes in PC…the Fluke at the Q mansion and the Fluke holding a gun on Julian and the Fake Faison aka FAIKEson that wouldnt suddenly have feelings for Dr.O and also a fake Larry Ashton but you are one of my favorite posters so for you i wont spoil the suprise!!!
If it was Billy Miller still playing Billy, most fans would be thrilled that Katie Rose is his daughter. Villy used to have a huge fan base and they really wanted a Newbott baby. But this recast really killed this pairing. I just cannot get into this new Billy.
I was pulling for Stitch as I love the chemistry between him & Victoria. I felt they clicked right away and he would’ve made an awesome baby daddy. I’m very sad to see “Sticky” end. The writers wasted their potential and never gave them a real chance.
Just the idea of Stitch & Ashley makes me sick. I’m sure they will force it but I have no interest in them whatsoever.
I’m with you on this Jess,if Billy Miller was still playing Billy Abbott,I would want him with Victoria – they had incredible chemistry and I believe were end game.
I just can’t get into Burgess Jenkins.
I liked Stitch with Victoria and was hoping for him to be the daddy.
As for Stitch and Ashley – she’s a hard character to pair with.
It would make things interesting tho – if you throw Abby into the mix because I do believe she is attracted to Stitch.
Me too. Burgess Jenkins and his toupee-looking hair dont work for me at all. I actually had a little lump in the throat when Stitch was sitting alone at the bar afterward. Dude doesn’t know how lucky he really is not being tied to the dysfunctional Newmans.
jonboy…’toupee-looking hair’…now that’s funny…LOL!!!!! And true. And, y-e-s…the last thing that Stitch needs in his life is to be sucked into the UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD of that DYSFUNCTION JUNCTION Newman family!!!!! Stitch has been through ENOUGH CRAP in his life!!!!! I mean…can you imagine Stitch (or any other dude for that matter) having that GROUCHY OLD DINOSAUR Victor as a father-in-law?!?!? S-H-U-D-D-E-R!!!!!
Happy Holidays, jonboy. Peace.
Yay for Billy being the father! As everyone else said this Billy just don’t cut it! Ben on the other hand needs to be with Chelsey! And adam with sharon .. Nick hAs his nerve being a jerk about the situation , she tried to find out the secret a 100 times .. Just go have another fling like always! Love love them naming baby Katie!!!!
I knew it would be Billy’s! It will cause more problems in Billy’s life than in Stitches. That what Soaps are all about! Problems!
Mistake to let go of Billy Miller, he was the best . Wish Victoria was not so whiishy washy.! And what is with her hair always in her face and who does her lipstick? Donot care for Stitch. Wish old Adman could come back.
Do not like Chelsea had long hair. Hurry and give her a good story line!
Abby is just so annoying, give her a real role or let her go away.
You dont like anything! Why do u bother watching???
Happy that Billy is the dad, but unhappy with the guy playing Billy. There is no chemistry between the actors who play Victoria and Billy. nuBilly is pretty boring. Where’s the fire? The excitement? Bring it in the acting. Y&R, it’s time to recast this pivotal role.
it had to be billy cause if it were stitch there would be no family conflict. especially since victorias dad is the black knight.
Victoria really has no chemistry with anybody. She had it with Billy Miller, but with these two guys no. Besides she’s such a whiner I feel sorry for any man who ends up with her.
I agree she has never been my cup of tea and even when heather tom played her she bugged me although heather is great on b&b.
Billy Miller and she was perfection! Now she’s getting that back with Stitch, but there is NOTHING going on with her and the new Billy at all …. its painfully awkward!
Maybe Billy miller is the one who created the Villa chemistry answer A H was along for the ride.
AH would never have been awarded the me without Billy Miller IMO.
That’s very possible.
I was disappointed stitch is so much cuter and more interesting than that robot billy
I don’t care for Burgess Jenkins’ portrayal of Billy either. I want to scream every time he utters the word “Chels.” It should be a drinking game. 🙂 I feel that he is trying to be too much comic relief like Billy Miller’s version of Billy that maybe, just maybe if he tried to play him more naturally, then his version could be embraced. But this version just makes me wish “Billy” would vacate Genoa City.
OMG I thought I was the only one who noticed “Chels”! It made my skin crawl! NuBilly is just too square for a character that has a lot of edges.
Anything that pisses off Victor is awesome in my book. You go, Billy Abbott! LOL!
Maybe Maureen jumped outta bed and switched the paternity tests from stitch to billy!!!!!!
Good possibilty knowing soaps are famous for their baby switching plotlines…im trying to figure why she doesnt want any ‘Family Ties’ to the Newmans if she did done this…lol
I think Ashley switched them so her Bro could bethe Daddy … and a wedge would be driven between him and Chelsea (Ash doesn’t like Chels)….I don’t under stand why Maureen would do it tho, hadn’t thought of that …. but not seeing the problem for her …. (got the “Family Ties” reference–cute)
I thought Stitch was going to be the father of Katie until he had that argument a couple of weeks ago with Abby about how she didn’t know what love was & she has never really been in love then I thought maybe Billy would be the Dad and there would be a triangle love again between Abby/Stitch/Ashley. I think Abby is so flippy that Stitch could be good for her. I really like Ashley but I think she’s too old for him I would also like to see Avery go back with her ex husband and Dylan go for Sharon.
Dylan and Sharon would be good. I wouldn’t mind seeing Cane with Sharon or someone other than the insipid, Lily. All they write for these two is some anniversary sexcapade that they have at the Athletic Club or making out in the restaurant.
Give Cane something to do or someone NEW to DO. 🙂
I agree if Lilly isn’t shoving her nose into someone’s business she having sex or making out with Cane.
Felt bad for Ben. He is a good guy and has suffered alot. Don’t want him with Ashley Ben looks to want more kids and she can’t have any so being with her he will not get to be a father again. Don’t want his ex wife to come back and be with him cuz she had no problem going across the world to get away from him and keep him from his kid so yea. Abby I guess but she needs to grow up alot.
I was REALLY BUMMED!!!!!!!!!!! I do not like THIS BIlly at all, and there is NO checmistry between him and any of the women he plays opposite! Ben needs to be more permant fixture in Genoa City and being the baby Daddy would have cemented his place! This Billy needs to go too! Billy Miller should have NEVER been forced to walk. JFP screwed up again! Had Billy Miller been the Baby Daddy ALL our opinions would be different! Rumor mill has it that Ashley switched the results to give her Bro a child and put a wedge between Ben and Vicki … we won’t find out for 20 years tho …. Typical Y&R! Now yyou should have asked why Ben didn’t admit the truth to Jenna so she wouldn’t divorce him and take his first kid away … Would LOVE to hear how Y&R explains that!!!!!!!!!!! SMH (We are not STUPID!!!)
Agree, agree, agree, HOWEVER, after what Ashley went through with Faith not being hers, but Sharon’s, I could not see her meddling with a child’s parentage like that.
Alas, who knows what the hell they will write. Perhaps they only brought Ashley on to ruin her like the majority of the legacy characters.
I am glad Billy Abbott is Katie’s father. I like the idea of Billy and Victoria together (even if I am not fond of the current actors) as the show’s central couple, a union between the two core families always at odds. They were torn apart over Billy’s grief at the loss of Delia. A new daughter is a new start. This plot is important. The two need to find their way back.
Ashley Abbott has been with the show 30 years. Ponce de Leon should have looked for the fountain of youth in Wisconsin because that is where it is hiding. Seems right for Genoa City to be a cosmetics center! It is time to move Ashley up and into more age appropriate stories. The SORAS of Abby forces that. I am not sure I like her and Stitch but the mother-daughter competition over a man is a soap trope. Maybe Ashley learned something from Brooke Logan those years she spent in LA! Side note (and forgive me if I am blanking), did we ever really resolve Ashley’s parternity. I know she broke down when she found out she was not an Abbott. Do Jack or Tracie know? Did Ash ever find peace with that with Dina?
Ah … there WAS a union of the core families …… Delia was an Abbot and a Valentine (aka a Chancellor family member at the core) but JFP botched that storyline so she’s trying to fix it with a new baby (but a daddy no one cares about).
No one other then Jack, Dina, Victor & Ashley know that John Abbott was not her father. They never bring it up ever since 1999 it has never been mentioned again Traci & Billy do not know. Also this will be the third time Victoria & Ashley have fought over a man Brad, Cole & Stitch. Wash Rinse Repeat!!! 🙁
If it was billy miller, it would be a little more satisfying. But I love stitch. Major disappointed stitch was not the father. Sorry Y&R.. Been a fan for 35 years but when you lost billy Miller and Michael muhney you lost me too. Give back Steve Burton to GH. So billy can come back .
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! TOTALL AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy Miller is tearing it up on #GH If Steve Burton comes back, they’ll find a way to make him Jason’s twin. #GH fans are loving new-Jason. Michelle Stafford is doing some of her best work on #GH too. How about #GH gives #YR #MichaelEaston who was a much better vampire than he is clueless doctor.
Either way the results would add drama for those involved. I thought Stitch would be the father and Billy would stay with Chelsea and there would be a love triangle with Adam. Adam wins that one and Billy hits the gutter and Chloe comes back to pull him out with their new child. Billy being the father pisses Victor off to no end! So this works to. Burgess is catching on so maybe him and Vickie will catch on? Her and Stitch had no chemistry. Speaking of chemistry, Stitch will now be free to mingle with Ashley. That could work.
I like Stitch, and I want him with Ashley. I’m not a Victoria fan, because I don’t think Y&R did a good job casting Amelia in the role after Heather Tom left. Regardless of that, I wanted Stitch to be that little girl’s dad. He deserves a second chance to have a family, and has worked hard since coming out of prison for that. I feel as though JFP gave that baby to Billy in order to replace the lost of Delia, and no child can do that. Billy needed to move forward from Victoria, and now they’ve placed him in this very strange position because Victoria really wanted Stich to be Katie’s dad, and I think Billy wants Chelsea and the family they have. He looks good with she and the two boys. So I’m sad right along with Sean, because Stich would have made a great father to that little baby.
Naw, Abby switched the test results because she didn’t want Stitch being the daddy. It’ll be revealed shortly who the real father is and then in twenty years, Sharon will muddle things up again. I know this because Y&R yawn fest just recycles stories now.
So why are you bashing me?Just read the new posts and the posts just about all agree with what I said. Trying to do you a favor. We all can’t be so wrong!
Are u blind? Stitch has incredible chemistry with Victoria.
I really, really would like to see this damn show create their original storylines, instead of recycling ones from General Best Hospital!!!
It’s truly pathetic…
And so I say Y&R Sucks!!!!!!!
I hate stitch with victoria-although I’ve never liked her. I hat stitch with ashley too. I love stitch with Abby!! I know most people don’t but I do. I think they have tons of sexual tension and should get together soon. And adam and sage
I hate stitch and victoria and stitch and ashley. I think he and Abby should get together soon. They have tons of sexual tension just like adam and sage
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.

The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

CAKE FIGHTS AND CORPORATE INTRIGUE
The book description for The Young and the Rest of Us adds, “In June 1987, Jess Walton walked through the artists’ entrance at CBS for her first day on The Young and the Restless,where she had just been hired to play the recast role of Jill Abbott. Two Emmy awards, four decades, and countless onscreen affairs, marriages, corporate takeovers, and cake fights later, she’s a beloved icon with an astonishing tale to tell.”
“In her refreshingly candid style, Jess shares her journey as a young actress from Toronto theaters to Los Angeles, where she found herself at the center of a Laurel Canyon circle that included the likes of Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. Landing a Universal contract and a steady stream of guest starring roles, Jess embraced everything 1970s L.A. had to offer—including Hollywood parties fueled by limitless booze and drugs, and trysts with stars. She recounts with candor and gratitude the surprising path that eventually led her to sobriety, true love—and ultimately, to fictional Genoa City, Wisconsin, and the role of a lifetime.”
“Brimming with behind-the-scenes drama and celebrity cameos to delight fans, The Young and the Rest of Us is also rich in personal, relatable truths about marriage, motherhood, empty-nesting, self-discovery, and finding the courage to start over—as often as it takes. In a voice as fearless and frank as Jill’s, but with, humor and grace all her own, Jess Walton looks back on a life as unpredictable, and adventure filled as anything she has portrayed on screen.”
WHO ELSE PLAYED JILL FOSER ABBOTT?
Fans of The Young and the Restless know that Walton became the fourth actress to take on the role of Katherine Chancellor’s original nemesis Jill Foster back in 1987. The OG Jill was played by Brenda Dickson, also Deborah Adair, Bond Gideon and Melinda O. Fee played the part.
This year, Days of our Lives star Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) filled-in for several episodes for Walton who was unavailable to travel from her home in Oregon to Los Angeles where Y&R was taped. Walton is still with the long-running soap opera as Jill.
