Rotting Y&R: The Spoiler Thread

[deirdra]

Unless it is just Sally's fantasy, like other "previews" we've seen.

[JasonCC]

I never watched OLTL. TSJ is a handsome 50ish dude. He can't be Tucker though. That's wayyy too much of a stretch. Dylan? Okay. We're stuck with that cult baby storyline like it or not. He can't be worse than the acting Jar of Mayonnaise Steve Burton.

Tucker and Jill are the SAME AGE. It has to be to even squint, spit, and throw logic to the wind to work between Liz Foster and Katherine Chancellor legends and all those retcons. They were born in the 50s when Katherine was married to Gary Reynolds--father of Brock right? It's core to the show (as a retcon already!).

Even Lauren's Dad knocking up a poor high school girl back then was a stretch in retcon tale telling.....but at least it fit the timeline....

Looks like Daniel Romalatti is going to be making a visit to GC.  Wonder if it will have something to do with trying to manage his batshit mommy and her crazy vendetta against Diane.

He should bring a rebellious Lucy and dump her on Grandma.

[SweePea59]

I hope he and Lily find each other again. Even Lily doesn't deserve ButtBiscuit.

That would be nice, but the spoiler didn't make it sound like DG was coming back for a long stint.  As far as Lily and BB go, she seems like she is starting to realize what a bad choice for a long term partner he is.  I don't see them lasting much longer as a couple

and you're saying Lily has good judgment in men . . . may I remind you of Cane Ashby

And ButtBiscuit is still worse!!!

[Gam2]

I really can’t say that ButtBiscuit is worse than Cane. I believe that of all the actors on soaps, he was the absolute worst. His idea of acting was sighing and rubbing his face. Over and over and over. For years.

Diane’s big secret - she was a “money laundering mule” for a rich guy she thought was interested in her. Apparently he hid stacks of cash in her luggage when they went on trips, retrieved it when she wasn’t looking, then deposited in foreign banks. Sounds really stupid to me. Wouldn’t TSA notice the bricks of money during the luggage scans? Wouldn’t Diane notice how heavy he luggage was? For more details read the attached…

[Kemper]

This is from a Facebook site.  Apparently there are budget cuts coming to Y&R.  There may be some "big names" on the chopping block or moved to recurring.  Noah and Ali are moving down; there are apparently others.  But....

Nowhere have I read that there will be a writers purge - which is the crux of the problem.  Terrible storylines that are drawn out; start out with a bang and end with a thud. One character sleeping with two brothers (and breaking up a popular couple in the process); three aging harpies (I am an aging harpy so I can say this) ganging up on another female character; an intimate scene (Abby and Devon) that no one asked for. I like Trevor St. John but maybe he would have been a better choice for Ashland; Noah's old girlfriend (cannot remember her name) that no one asked for.  Not knowing what to do with Sharon Case.   

The Newmans always coming out on top needs to be rethought.  Josh Morrow whining that he wanted a new storyline and the writers giving it to him!  He does have a way about him that is easy and nice to watch. But not as a glowering menace with the over-greasy hair and heavier face that seems red all the time.  Nicki and Phyllis are unwatchable. The writers do not know what to do or how to write consistently for new characters. I cannot believe many viewers anticipate a good show more often than not anymore.  

[Jaded]

If anyone didn't happen to see today's preview for next week. It seems Daniel's going to show up just in time for Lilly to have someone actually be interested in how she's doing during this whole Chelsea and work mess....
 

[Stpauliegirl]

Looks like Sharon has a stalker.  According to the below spoiler, it is Cameron Kirsten, risen from the dead. Apparently Sharon thought she killed him by bashing him over the head with a bottle of champagne.  Turns out he wasn’t dead.  For the spoiler and a recap of the whole storyline, click the below links.  fYI, the actor who plays Cameron, is Susan Walter’s (Diane)husband IRL.

So they are bringing back someone that maybe many of us have never heard of? And are supposed to get invested in?

[SweePea59]

That really blows. His story line was awful. Sharinsane was dragging a dead body all over town. Sickening and disgusting.

[MsMalin]

Didn't Nikki help her hide the body?

[basiltherat]

Nikki is not good at hiding bodies (see Hellstrom, J.T.)

Yeah, I read the recap and I remember Sharon kissing Grampire but I don’t remember the rest of it at all. Idk. I don’t have an opinion, though I could see this being a vehicle to get Nick and Sharon back together.

Yes. Anything that will get Nick/Sally scenes off my screen. I hope they get back together for the rest of this Soap’s life. Because…allegedly Josh M doesn’t want to revisit the Nick/Sharon story. Divine retribution.

Yes, she did. They dragged the dead body down into the sewers and a rat ran over Nikki's foot. And then the ladies finally bonded.

I hope so. She's the only one he has any chemistry with. They deserve each other. But remember, the last time they got together it only lasted a short time. I don't even remember why they broke up, it was sudden and out of the blue.

Actually they got back together again after that and they broke up because...he slept with Phyllis.

[Skarzero]

I've had my issues with Sharon's character in the past but Nick has done her just as dirty, if not dirtier, than she's done him. Sharon has been proven to do much better than Nick, more than once. Even if Rey annoyed me, I never doubted he loved Sharon. Jordi & SC had steady chemistry(which was a double-edged sword & made them a little boring in the end). And any version of Shadam craps on Shick all day every day. The only way Sharon could do worse is if she married Victor again...I think....

A Shick reunion would do JM/Nick far more favors than Sharon. She might be shackled to the coffeehouse but Nick is the creepy douchebag sleeping with Sally to spite Adam. And JM is actually surprised/bothered by the "naysayers" like dude....what did you think would happen? No one asked for Nick/Sally to happen, you did.

The longer he clings to this the harder it's going to be for his character to live it down, and for a lot of people, that ship has already sailed. To the point that I've even seen former Ally fans that want the paternity test switched so that Adam can be free of both Nick & Sally. Can't say I blame them.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Several soap media sites are reporting the return this fall of a former Y&R cast member, but in a newly created role.

According to Soap Central, actress Hayley Erin will be coming back to GC as a character named Claire Grace. Claire is going to be an employee at Newman Media. Erin previously played a young Abby Newman between 2008 and 2010.

The Soap Central article is here:

Hayley Erin set to return to The Young and the Restless -- in a brand-new role

According to IMDb Hayley Erin is 29 so based on that I'm hoping she'll be romantically paired with Adam. Keep her away from Nick, Kyle, Nate, and Billy, please. I'd be okay with Chance but rumor has it he's slated to be with Summer.

[Stpauliegirl]

Sounds like Cole Howard returns and is somehow involved in the kidnapping story…. https://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2023/the-young-and-the-restless-spoilers-cole-howard-returns-j-eddie-peck-reprises-role-as-victorias-ex-husband/

Fellow preverts........ bad news, at least I think so..... sorry to report that

Danny and Christine are returning from Danny's world wide tour of Dollar General stores and church basement bingo halls, and soon.  

Quote

 

Excerpt from SOD.....

But soon, Bell and Damian are headed back to the studio to shoot a special development for the on-again lovebirds slated to air in July — one the actress teases will consist of an experience that is brand-new to the characters.

“I was told about the concept,” Bell begins about what the show has in store for Danny and Christine. “I don’t know exactly the specifics, but I thought it was a great idea. It made sense with what they are doing [in the storyline].” Damian shared her opinion, she reports. “I was able to talk to Michael about it because we had to make sure he was free [to shoot the scenes], and he thought it was a great idea. And so now, we’re in a holding pattern for the exact dates — which I think are on the sooner side — and what specifically we’ll be doing. But we have faith in the creative process and we know that the idea is really fun. And we’re always up for a fun story versus a courtroom drama or a sad thing. So, we will try and elevate this to as much fun as we can have, on camera and off.”

 

The idea of "fun" storyline pretty much ensures that it will be anything BUT fun.

But, They're BACK!

They seem to be going back in time with this and Nikki/Victor/Jack. The show was better then, but these characters are in AARP or on Social Security. Maybe Phyllis will stop acting like a teeny bopper over a boy. Maybe she won't be involved because she's not fun.

Though he looks younger, J. Eddie Peck is 65. Perhaps he found Social Security couldn't cover his expenses.

[taavir40]

Something bad happens at the wedding. 

[Denize]

Uh oh.  Did Danyell get arrested or did Sharon light the place on fire?  I was hoping for a peanut butter wedding cake, but Summer doesn't look physically ill. Josh Morrow seems to be building up a portfolio of "reaction shots" from his recent scenes.

Jordan comes and sees they are serving brussels sprouts. The Newmans better watch out.

There's a picture of Sharon standing in her cottage looking very upset. So, I think she runs Phyllis off the road lol

 god Idk how Sharon gets out of this, it's not like when Phyllis accidently fell or, she was drugged by a crazy doctor who wanted revenge against Nick.

 

She tried to poison a man, as far as we know, killed a women and dumped her body over a bridge. She then framed Heather's boyfriend for the murder and now is about to attempt to kill again. 😭

I'm seeing where all will be revealed (about Heather's murder) in tomorrow's episode (11/13/2024). Hopefully, it will be more entertaining than the two cheaters getting their HEA.

Sort of.

 

Someone stole Sharon's phone and texted Phyllis that she's ready to confess.

 

Sharon was driving, she was talking to herself. And then a cars light from behind was shining in her eyes.

 

Phyllis was speeding a long, and the person with sharons phone was spamming her. All of a sudden headlights were shining head on into hers and Phyllis crashed.

[Kemper]

We should not root for a demise of Phyllis. That would be wrong. I would say a head wound resulting in amnesia, but....it would be drawn out for years. Maybe she could lose the use of her windmill arms for awhile; just until Who Killed Heather gets solved without her. Or my favorite - her speech would be impacted - she would be unable to do her repetitive dialogue/remarks thing. And her hair would be cut into a short bob. 

Just for a little while? Please.  New Executive Producer? A soap nation turns its lonely eyes to. you. woo woo woo

[Denize]

How many deranged-woman-driving-while-distracted-crashes-the-car storylines can Y&R possibly think up?  Yawn! Two deranged women doing it simultaneously is not much of a stretch!

So was that it? Aunt Jordan has gone the way of Ian Ward?

Apparently she eventually did.
