Y&R Recap Thursday, May 8th 2009
It’s the trial of the century y’all! Gloworm may have missed out on criminal charges for the face cream fiasco, but Mama Ashley is not letting her get off that easy. Homegirl knows how to hold a grudge.
The trial started with Mama Ashley giving testimony on how Gloworm’s antics affected her life. Her mouth was going on and on about Jack and Abby, and Jabot, and her credibility, and something about having to move to Hong Kong. But Mama Ashley’s eyes were trying to convince that she’s not crazy. There really was a baby in the woods y’all!
Let’s see if the audience is buying it…
I guess not Mama Ashley. Girl, you’ll have to try to convince them some other way.
Since Ashley was more than a little crazy with her testimony, Gloworm had a good chance of convincing the judge, that she, was in fact the sane one in this bunch. But of course Gloworm doesn’t know when to keep her trap shut, and instead of doing the one thing all guilty people should do (DENY, DENY, DENY), Gloworm got the bright idea the pleading guilty would convince the judge of her innocence. Yeah, good luck with that one Glo.
Let’s see if the audience was more impressed with Gloworm than Mama Ashley…
Yeah, I don’t think they’re impressed with Gloworm’s testimony either.
Turns out that Gloworm was the crazier of the two crazies, so the judge awarded Jabot twice the amount of damages they were seeking. Sucks to be Gloworm, we’re in a recession y’all!
Gloworm didn’t take losing too well, and got into a war of words with Mama Ashley. Once the venom started to fly, we all knew where this was headed. Pregnant Mama Ashely is having stomach pains, y’all! Gloworm better hope Mama Ashley doesn’t lose this baby, or the Mustache will be coming for her. You got that.
Surprise, surprise, look who’s already at the hospital…
Sharin stalked possible baby daddy #3 down to the playground to give him the happy news. Possible baby daddy #3 was surprised to see Sharin on the playground, but of course he immediately stopped what he was doing, to see what she wanted. While possible baby daddy #3, was dealing with baby mama #1, he wasn’t paying attention to his maybe baby #2, so she threw herself of the swing. Summer isn’t stupid, Big Red taught her well. If you see daddy around that tramp, you do whatever needs to be done to separate them. It was message received, and mission accomplished with young Summer. She put a stop to daddy conversing with his side piece.
On the other side of the hospital, Y&R’s greatest supercouple was playing out their lovestory…
Jack and Victor must have the longest running relationship on this show. Through their many wives, girlfriends, and hos, they’ve managed to stick together. All the scheming and plotting they do is just foreplay. Gentlemen, it’s 2009, it’s okay, you can be together now. People will still love you.
Because of Mama Ashley’s little scare at the courthouse (she didn’t lose the baby y’all, not yet anyway…), the Mustache convinced her that she needs to leave Jabot and join Adumb on house arrest at Ye Olde Newman Ranch. Jack immediately informs Victor that he will be at Ye Olde Ranch all the time to see Victor, er I mean Ashley. The Mustache tells Jack to bring it on, but make sure he stops by his bedroom, er, I mean stays out of his sight.
The yearning is too much for the Mustache, so he makes his exit, but not before telling Jack exactly how to sneak through the backdoor of the Ranch, you know, just so he can quietly visit Ashley, yeah, Ashley.
Since Jack can’t love the one he wants, he tries his hand at loving the one he’s with…
After seeing Niclueless and his happy family, Sharin decides that she’ll take Jack up on his offer to raise her baby with him. Little do these two know, though, Mary Jane is looking on, and she’s not liking what she’s seeing. Nope, she doesn’t like it one bit. Sharin, watch out girl! MJ will let nothing get between she and her Jackie Poo. Besides, Big Red has already warned MJ about you…
Big Red has finally realized that the direct approach won’t work with trying to take out Sharin. Now Big Red has other people do her dirty work for her. First her child, and now she’s pointing crazy Mary Jane in Sharin’s direction. Well played Big Red, well played.
Sharin’s got 99 other problems, though…
Possible baby daddy #2 was reacting to the happy news. Yeah, Liam’s already got one kid that he doesn’t want. But what’s another unwanted baby between friends?
Young Liam has got some nerve though. He had the balls to tell Sharin that he wasn’t mad at her. Mad at her?!? Liam, fool, get yourself together. Yes, Sharin has been loose with her goodies lately, but dude, sex is a two way street. You of all people should know this, seeing as how you’ve just gone through a baby/wtd storyline (thanks for dropping that knowledge on us Liam, it’s not like we forgot or anything). Sharin realized what a douche possible baby daddy #2 is, and promptly told him to get to stepping. Sharin, you should have realized this weeks ago, and you wouldn’t be in this situation.
Over at Ye Olde Newman Ranch…
Adumb was doing his usual crying/moping/whining/being a bitch/spying routine. The Mustache really should invest in a bell for Adumb to wear around his neck, that way, he’ll know when his youngest son is eavesdropping. Today, just like yesterday, Adumb was crying because of a conversation between Victor and Niclueless.
Vic and Nick were celebrating Nick’s dumb decision to go back to Newman full time. Niclueless, when Victor smites you again, and throws you out of the company, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Feeling a little emboldened from being back in daddy’s good graces, Niclueless tries to plant seeds of doubt in the Mustache’s mind about Adumb.
Niclueless, why are you hating? Adumb is on house arrest, he’s blind, and Victor is trying to stop him from getting his regular booty calls from ADA! Heather, I think the man is miserable enough. So again, Niclueless, I have to ask, Why are you hating?
Speaking of ADA! Heather…
Yo Heather! Does your boss at the DA’s office know that you’re sleeping with a prisoner? One that you prosecuted? I didn’t think so. ADA! Heather, just can’t get it through her head that the Mustache does not want her in his house. Apparently Adam is working with something, because ADA! Heather had no problem sneaking into Ye Olde Ranch, just to get it. That is, until the Mustache came knocking on Adumb’s door. Uh oh ADA! Heather, you better hide girl.
Looks like hiding in closets in the new ‘in’ thing to do in Genoa City. How old is ADA! Heather again? Fifteen? Nah, ADA! Heather is an adult woman, hiding in her boyfriend’s closet, because his father his home. Okay. Moving on.
Daddy dearest has come to inform his youngest son that the eye specialist was on his way. Uh oh. Houston, we have a problem. Adumb is apparently faking his blindness, or something, so seeing a specialist will definitely blow his cover. Adumb gets to worrying, and tries to talk daddy dearest out of making him see the eye specialist. The Mustache will have none of it though, so Adumb will have to think of another way to get out of seeing the specialist.
As soon as the Mustache leaves, ADA! Heather comes out of the closet. Adumb immediately informs her that he needs a medical discharge. NOW! He can’t get caught faking his blindness, or it will be his ass Mr. Postman. Heather says she’s unsure if she can get the discharge, so Adumb puts on his best blue steel, and just like in those new KY commercials…
Heather decides that she can, in fact get Adumb a medical discharge, but only after Adumb put it on her.
Next on the Young and the Restless…
Cane and Lily Wed!!! An interview with Christel Khalil (Lily)!!! Spoiler Content!!!
Sneak Peek: Cane and Lily’s Wedding!
Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) has endured a lot in her young life. She lost her mother Drucilla after a tragic fall from a cliff. She married young and the marriage ended thanks to the groom’s addiction to internet porn. Her biological father turned out to be her Uncle Malcolm and not Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John). Then Lily met Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard). Sure, the road has been a bit bumpy. Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) tried to convince Cane that he was her baby’s daddy but the real father turned out to be his half-brother Billy’s (Billy Miller). Now Cane is free to marry is lady-love. Has Lily met her true Prince? Time will tell but enjoy the video tease to Cane and Lily’s upcoming nuptials!
Thanks Sony!
From Soap Opera Digest
The fourth time is the charm for Cane and Lily, who finally walk down the aisle after several broken engagements. “It seems like something has [always] gotten in their way,” says Christel Khalil (Lily). “There was [the loss of their baby], [Cane marrying Chloe], [Lily] dating Billy…but I think its normal for couples to [face obstacles] on soaps. Compared to other couples, like [Victor and Nikki], [Cane and Lily have] had it relatively easy.”
For the time being, at least, the future bride and groom are feeling positive. Before the wedding, Katherine presents Cane with an elaborate gift which he declines and asks her to donate it to homeless children instead. Afterward, Cane and Lily have a talk about their rocky history with relationships, but Lily strongly believes that Cane would not lie to her like Billy and Daniel did.
Later, Neil gives Lily Dru’s wedding gown to wear. She and Cane then say their I-do’s before their friends and family.
“I’ve always liked [Cane and Lily] as a couple,” says Khalil. “[They] have a deep connection and have a lot in common despite their differences.”
But is this their happy ending?

Y&R Recap Tuesday, May 5th 2009
Unlike some, Jill’s pimp hand is strong. Her bartender was still sleeping, and she was already dressed and ready to start the day with a new lease on life. Bartender tried to tell Jill that he was too tired to make a move, apparently Cougar Jill put it on him, but Pimp Jill was like, “Ho, you got to go.”
See what good loving can do for you. Jill is slightly less bitter these days. I actually think I see a smile y’all!
Over at Ye Olde Newman Ranch…
Adumb was doing his usual moping around the ranch, he probably just got finished planting Sabrina related crap around the house. You know he’s the one setting up Mama Ashley. While taking a break from his dastardly deeds though, Adumb happened upon a conversation between The Mustache, and his other dope of a son, Niclueless.
Still salty over Neil’s move to Chancellor Industries, The Mustache offers Neil’s old job to Niclueless. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Phyllis tried to warn Niclueless, but if dummy takes this job, we all know how it will play out. As soon a Niclueless steps out of line, Victor will smite him and fire him, and Adumb will become the favorite son again. Don’t do it Niclueless. Don’t do it. Oh wait, look who I’m talking to. You know he’s going to do it.
Adumb was a little down after hearing The Mustache say that he intended to leave Newman Enterprises to his children, you know, his real ones, Vikki N. and Niclueless. So Rafe came over to cheer up his boo.
Rafe was busy trying to convince Adumb that they would make a handsome couple. But Adumb was busy thinking about how all of his little schemes are falling through. The fake blindness is softening up The Mustache as much as Adumb thought it would. And driving Ashley crazy might be working a little too well.
Now that Adumb’s realizing his dastardly plans aren’t working, he’s thinking that there may be some use for Rafe afterall. Adumb needs to get off of the ranch before the jig is up y’all. And if ADA! Heather can’t get him released, then Adumb will have to use what he has to get what he needs, and see if Rafe can get the job done. Otherwise, The Mustache will smite him.
Speaking of being smited, Sharin is having her own problems…
At the GCAC, Sharin was having a little trip down memory lane, the about how this baby she’s carrying got made.
Why are tiic even doing this? We all know that nine times out of ten, old Niclueless will be the father of this baby. I mean, he’s the only potential father that doesn’t know he’s a potential father. Case in point, check out Sharin giving Jack the happy news,
As soon as he hears the word ‘baby’ Jack starts to grinning like an idiot. Fool, please stop with the baby obsession. You have two sons already. Find them. One of your sons is being raised by a crazy, and Jack, what are you doing? Making babies with one crazy, and talking your brother into marrying another. Oh you silly Abbott men, tricks are for kids.
Jack may be a little pathetic when it comes to Sharon, but his pathetic-ness has nothing on baby bro Liam’s bitchassness…
Liam was doing that whining and bitching thing he’s been doing a lot lately. And Jack was busy not giving a damn. See, Liam was under the misguided impression that Jackie would give him some responsibility at Jabot. Liam, you suffer the same fate as Adumb. You do not have the same mother as the rest of the Abbotts, therefore, you will never be as important as them. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is. Stop crying Liam, and move on.
I see Liam didn’t take our advice. He’s still crying about not being in charge of Jabot. Liam, you are a drunk and a whore, you do not need to be in charge of a company. You let Jack play the hell out of you (another thing you have in common with Adumb), when you let Smilin’ Jack talk you into marrying Kate. Find yourself another job, before Jackie finds out you are the other possible baby daddy of Sharin’s little miracle.
The Abbotts are having a hard time, so you know what that means. Ghost John is back dispensing more of his useless advice.
After hearing what his ghost dad had to say, Liam decided that it was in fact time to get out of dodge, so he decided to ask his former grandmother for a job. Liam didn’t want just any job though, he wanted to be CEO of Chancellor Industries. Liam, didn’t we discuss this already? Know your role. In your current state, you are not fit to run a company. Check back when you pull yourself together.
Liam really is a glutton for punishment. After being shot down by Katherine, Liam tried to get a job with The Mustache, but of course the Mustache told him Hell NO! Liam, you are damaged goods. The mustache has no use for you now. When he needed you to be a pawn, you wouldn’t bite, so he got crazy Mary Jane to do his dirty work for him. Maybe next time Little Black Sheep (thanks Jill!), maybe next time.
Things that happened on the show, but were too boring to get the full treatment:
Kevin had a welcome home party at Crimson Lights
Katherine is meeting with the governor
The three stooges (Jill, Gloria, and Jeffrey) are preparing to take the Mustache down
Ashley accused the housekeeper from hell (read, Estella) of trying to set her up
Phyllis was again begging Nick to put her first. Fat chance Big Red, fat chance.
Next time on the Young and the Restless…
Tell the DJ Run It Back, April 27th Weekly Recap
Babies and weddings make us happy, right? Well, this week on Y&R we got a wedding and some baby action. However, I am not too sure that my life was anymore joyous. Let’s start with the wedding…
The Winters clan was finally let out the house and allowed to mingle. They even found the time to take a family photo.
Where was Devon? Am I the only one who noticed that he was not there? No one in the fam seemed to notice. Also, where was Olivia?
Oh well, its talk more about Neil. Neil had a busy week. He dropped Newman…
got hired as CEO of CI…
and put in work with his young tenderonie.
Speaking of an older man with his PYT, our regularly scheduled program was interupted by Fluff Vision starring Fane. We are about to enter their world. Please keep all hands inside the car and do not look directly into Blue Steel.
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
everything thats wonderful is what I feel
when we’re together.
Wait…Fillip has something to say….
Oh snap, this has got to cause some trouble in Happy Town. Let’s see what happened next. Not a damn thing popped off except more happy.
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you’re here the raindrops disappears
dear and I feel so fine
Shh…Mac has just entered. Let’s see what happens.
We have just witnessed the Mane Event which has brought our tour of Fluff Vision to a close. Please remain seated until we come to a complete stop. I hope that you all have survived. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
Kevin showing up at the wedding was a great treat. He took a major step on the road to recovery. Kevin made his grand entrance back to the world after defeating the reject from Alvin and the Chipmunks. 
However, that the huge butterfly on the side of Jana’s head might cause him to have a relapse.
Colleen, JT, and Vikki were MIA from the wedding. However, they did have quit an impressive showing earlier in the week. Although Colleen is Uncle Jack’s little puppet, she does know how to handle her own. She is swagging it out and Vikki just might not be able to hang.
Speaking a woman barely holding on to her man or to say it another way, a man who does not want to be kept, Phyllis and Nick did the commit to our marriage thing for the 12,o78th time. Yawn. Although Nick’s brain is where the crickets roam and play, his pimp game was strong. He managed to get H1 (AKA PheelThis) and H2 (Sharin) to kill all the noise and make peace. However, this was not before H2 got H1 hemmed up by the police.
Luckily for H2 she let pimp daddy Nick get her off the hook for her crimes. Otherwise, she would have had to find out the wonderful news in jail.
Speaking of babies, Baby D was in full effect getting her Kodak on like it was her birthday. Some may say that Jack was using Baby D, but it appeared to be the other way around. Baby D definately strikes me as the type to use what she has to get what she wants. Hmm…sounds like gets it from her momma. And I think she gets the pose from her real daddy.
Robert, the Ashley/Brad baby, was also remebered this week. We were reminded of how Ashley did not deal with Robert’s death well at all. I believe this was the start of meltdown number 2. Poor Ashley thought a blanket was Robert.
Now, I have to admit that I took the loss of Robert kind of hard as well. I was really looking forward to meeting him (unlike some babies *cough, cough* Baby D). There is this one song that I always sing when I think about the late Robert Carlton and I want to share (the song starts at like 1:40). All I have to say is “we miss Robert.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4knBj6Cf8&feature=related
In addition to showing babies past, present and future, we got a glimpse into the wonderful world of baby making. H1 reminded Nick that the first thing you need is a good, comfortable sheet set.
What an great anniversary gift H1!!! It is sooo appropriate seeing as how getting up on a thread count is all you and Nick do anyway. Too bad H2 already schooled Nick in the art baby making and he may have earned an “A” as in a baby.
Last week Adam let us know that he likes to RAM!. Because Rafe was unavailable, he let Heather be his stand in.
Jack, who has been salavating over Mary Jane, finally got his taste. Afterwards, he looked like he had a bad case of indigestion. Mary Jane seems like the type of woman where the sex might please you, but the aftermath is going to be rough. Jack really should remember that you cannot slip up and slip into anything.
Finally, I have to talk about Jill who found herself in her very own R. Kelly moment. Why was Jill trapped in the closet? Nina straight up rangled her a Jill all while keeping it feminine with the pink ribbons. I cannot wait to watch a sipped up and tipped up Jill get free and crash the wedding.
Here’s hoping for a great next week of Y&R. Let’s remember aim low so that our expectations may be exceeded.
ps. I love you Y&R!!!
Casting SPOILER!!! John Driscoll Joins Y&R
http://www.daytimeconfidential.com/2009/04/ex-light-star-now-restless
He may have just flatlined in Peapack, but former Guiding Light star John Driscoll (Ex-Coop) is set to prove just how alive and well he is in Genoa City, Wisconsin. Driscoll has landed the plum role of Phillip Chancellor IV.
John was so good during his audition the casting director actually cried!, says a source.
According to Daytime Confidential Guiding Light blogger Melodie Aikels’ source, the actor will be working heavily with Christel Khalil (Lily) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe), as well as Adrienne Frantz (Amber).
Look for Driscoll to make his way to Genoa City on May 24!
Daytime Confidential has since edited their original post to say John Driscoll has only worked with Elizabeth Hendrickson, who he will be sharing a story with. There is also some confusion as to whether JD will be airing on May 24 or if that is when he begins taping.
Here is a clip of one of his last scenes on Guiding Light!
Welcome to Genoa City John!
For those who need a little catch up on all the Phillip Chancellors running around, their ages, and how they interconnect…well, let’s try to make this as simple as possible…
-Phillip IV is the son of Phillip III (duh) and Nina.
-Phillip III is the son of Phillip II who was married to Jill and Kay.
-Phillip III and Cane were switched at birth. (But wasn’t there a storyline where Jill needed a blood transfusion and only Phillip III was a match??)
-So Phillip III = Cane.
Now this is where it gets interesting…
-Cane and Phillip III should be the same age.
-Phillip III and Nina were the same age.
-Phillip IV was born before Phillip III died in 1989.
-Also when Nina was back for Kay’s funeral she mentioned Phillip IV was in the army stationed in Iraq.
-So at the very least Phillip IV should be 20 years old.
-And Cane should be old enough to be Phillip IV’s father.
-But Cane is 32 years old.
Hmmm…
-Conclusion…Phillip III and Nina were 12 when they had Phillip IV!! Yes, that’s it!
-Oh, but when Nina was introduced to Y&R (in 1986) at the age of 16 she was already pregnant with a son, who was stolen at birth. This child is older than Phillip IV.
-Have I mentioned, Cane is about 10 years younger than Phillip III in soap time, yet they were switched at birth?
-Oh, um, You got all that?
So what will the great Maria Arena Bell do about the age discrepancy now that Phillip IV is back on the canvas? Now that IS the question…
Will she dephillip Cane??
Will she soras Cane to 40 years old?
That might throw a monkey wrench in Lane…so will she soras Cane AND Lily, even though TPTB made it a point of giving Lily a 21st b-day party last June??
Will she say the viewers are idiots and not do a thing??
Who knows?? But stayed tuned…its about to get good in Genoa City!
Y&R Recap Friday, May 1st 2009
If Ana’s singing, then you know it’s a party. Let’s hope that this marriage lasts longer than the other union young Ana blessed with her voice. Neil and Karen, this moment of silence is for you.
Karen is gone, Neil’s got a new job, and now a new instant family to go along with it. I found it quite hilarious that Neil and Tyra had absolutely no shame in their game. Their ready made family was proudly on display, and Tyra was ready to step to the first person who called them out. Fortunately for them, they’re in GC, home to many a skank/homewrecker, both male and female. So, unfortunately for us, there were no stones cast on this day.
And what’s a new family portrait, without your old family members? Oh wait? Where’s Devon? Maybe poor Bryton really was dropped to recurring. We’re in a recession MAB! Couldn’t you find something for a young brother to do? (Chevon, hint, hint)
Today’s commercial break is being sponsored by Alcoholics Anonymous
Over at Ye Olde Newman Ranch…
Sharon is doubling over with stomach cramps. It’s a soap, so you know what that means…
That’s right y’all. Sharin is pregnant. She’s got a bun in the oven. She’s up the duff. She’s with child. She’s in the family way. I think you get the picture. If not, that ginormous, salvation army plus sign, on Sharin’s ‘Easy Answer’ pregnancy test should have clued you in. I think Sharin needs to put in a call to Maury. With three possible baby daddies, Maury is the only man that can help her now. After getting her test results (who else thinks this is the first test Sharin’s ever passed?), Sharin had her own Florida Evans moment.
for those who aren’t familiar….
Back at the wedding…
I’m serious y’all, that new job is doing wonders for Neil’s swag. He’s not taking nothing from nobody (except that check from Katherine, gotta get that monay!)
While Neil was busy hobnobbing with his new benefactor, this quad was having a moment. Fily says she’s cooking for her dog, but Fily, are you cooking for your man? Because nuWeave over there has her eye on him. Fily, nuWeave has height on you, she’s been in Darfur, so that means she don’t play games. And she’s got nuHair that looks suspiciously familiar. And what is that I see? Fily, nuWeave and your man are both drinking orange juice, while you and the lush, aka Liam, are getting it with the wine. Fily, you say you want to be friends with nuWeave. They say keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, but Fily I don’t think that’s what you’re doing. You need to keep your eyes open. That’s all I’m saying.
Commercial break from Alcoholics Anonymous again…
And they’re still drunk. Clearly Liam gets it from his mama.
At the athletic club (where everyone seems to have a room)…
At the GCAC, ADA! Heather is still being an idiot. Micheal and his merry band of criminals (read, his family) may not be the most innocent fools on the block, but damn ADA! Heather. It’s time to let it go sweetie. Do you really want to lose another case? Michael was busy trying to convince ADA! Heather to release his baby bro on bail. But unfortunately for her, ADA! Heather wasn’t buying. Even her dear old dad, the seldom seen Paul Williams, was embarrassed. As the trio all simultaneously got the news (what a coinkydink!) that Kevin was shooting blanks, ADA! Heather still wouldn’t budge. Maybe she likes being a failure y’all!
The joke’s on you though, ADA! Heather. Kevin is on the loose. Silly ADA! Heather, you should know better by now not to go up against Michael. He will tunnel through your walls to get to you. It’s not a game.
Down at notVogue…
Phick is celebrating an anniversary. What a difference a year makes! Niclueless came over with the grande gift of a ‘get out of jail free’ card. Of course he wanted to use it on himself, and Big Red was not amused. But then Niclueless put on his best idoit face, and Big Red was starting to smile. Don’t do it Big Red! Don’t take that fool back! You’re not much Big Red, but you are better than this.
Awww no, Big Red. You fell for it.
This next commercial break is brought to you by Danielle and his pearls…
Yes, Danielle, like the pretty lady he is, is really wearing pearls. Moving on.
Back at the wedding…
It’s a wedding, so Jack brought a date. He brought his favorite crazy, Patty, er I mean, Mary Jane. I get the feeling that Jack knows something is off with his latest love, but Mary J. put it on Smilin’ Jack something serious, so the man isn’t thinking straight. He’s letting his little head guide him, and we know how well that will work out.
Ashley is a former/reemerging crazy, so as soon as she saw Mary J, Ashley tried to warn her brother. But Smilin’ Jack wasn’t trying to hear it. When it hits the fan, don’t say you weren’t warned Jack.
Those Abbotts are a persistent bunch, and Ashley continued her blocking game. Ashley couldn’t get through to Jack, so she tried to talk to Mary J, woman to woman. Ashley may be crazy, but she ain’t got nothing on Mary J. One look from psycho, and Ashley did the right thing and walked away.
Feeling like she was in there like swimwear, Mary J was doing her touchdown dance, when she ran into a familiar face. Paul, knows he’s seen this chick somewhere, but he can’t quite put his finger on it. ‘Do I know you from somewhere?’ Paul asks. Yes Paul! You know her. It’s yo sister fool.
With all the foolishness going on around them, you almost forget that Kay and her beloved Murphy were getting married. These two are probably the only thing right with Y&R right now. Yes, MAB we all love a little drama and craziness, but there needs to be a balance. Whatever happened to love in the afternoon?
Next time on the Young and the Restless…
Fashion Spies on the Loose
Lets keep in mind that Y & R is a soap whose theme is centered around business professionals/corporate life. I would say 95% of the time we will see corporate attire with an occasional treat of casual/other attire. With that being said, let’s examine our fab look choices:
This week I admired a few pieces on the Homecoming Queen Runner-up a.k.a. Phyllis :
Her jail attire was a nice black cocktail dress, one shoulder piece that hits above the knee. The piece really complimented Phyllis, unfortunately, as she made her way to lock up,
Another thumbs up goes to Phyllis in her business attire on her wedding anniversary. ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS! The most hideous fashion pieces I’ve seen this week besides some of the wedding day dresses was on none other than Gloria, Esther & of course Amber. Thee (not the, but thee) ugliest outfits I’ve seen on a person and to add insult to injury on Kay’s wedding day, while at the bar Gloria wears something of similar print to this tragic piece below. Don’t worry folks, the fashion police were called, she’s being picked up as we speak, they found her at K-Mart in the Jaclyn Smith collection. She looks so proud in this pic, so sad Another character that is true to put the T in Tacky is Esther, I’ve been waiting for her to return to her maid’s uniform. You be the judge! Another Miss, I guess the fashion police are still tied up, because here we have another culprit waiting to be sentenced. What in the HELL does Amber have on? With those shoestrings around her neck? This week I must admit that I stumbled across a pattern and I haven’t paid attention to it in the past but there was this theme going on in Genoa City with these upgraded dog tags, I mean chokers, well you know what I mean. It reminds me of a commercial back in the day where they were talking about peer pressure and it went something like “Everybody’s doing it…” with this pumped up aerobics music in the background. Why are all of the ladies in Genoa City wearing these hideous chokers? I feel like I’m playing with a Barbie Doll and looking in her Super Glam Accessories set and VOILA! Kay got the memo: Olivia got the memo: Lauren got the memo: Nikki got the memo (hers is not that bad) How did Amber get the memo? Did she make these?
Calling all EXTENSIONS to the party!! Well, this week, we saw two new do’s on Mistress A and he wants her to be his Mistress B. Yes, my friends, Tyra a.k.a. Mistress A and NuMac a.k.a. he wants her to be his Mistress B have added on extensions to their look: Tyra
Mac
Sooooo do we likeeee? Personally, I like Tyra’s hair at the wedding, which is the latter pic, when she has short hair, I’d prefer the wet and curly look that she rocked on ANTM verses the short styles that she had on Y and R. Thumbs up for Tyra’s new look from me! For Mac, I wish she’d get lighter hair color. Maybe I’ll need a little more time for me to adjust with Mac’s nu look. A definite NO-NO in the hair department! Call the Fire Department! The return of Psycho Annie and her Electrifying hair. Please, no more! Lay off the hair dye. Whomever decided that it is okay to poor 20 packets of RED kool-aid in her dye mix is just plain old wrong. Can they speed up her confession, judgment, etc? I feel like I have just come across an ATOMIC FIRE BALL piece of candy. So this week, with this whacked out storyline, we had a chance to see a clothing repeat on Ashley. Note: This is a soap and yes it is grotesque that Ashley unknowingly, wore a dress that Sabrina wore the night of her accident-but it is still just a soap. Let’s Examine who wore it best (keep in mind, I dug through old crates to find Sabrina in the dress) Sabrina Ashley This is a little tough, simply because Ashley was in the dress for about 2 nanoseconds before The Mustache told her to “kindly take that off”. But looking at both, I believe Sabrina’s look in the dress was better, Sabrina height and poise allowed this look to be very sophisticated. The dress worn isn’t the best dress I’ve ever seen and both looked nice, but I think Sabrina wore this dress better. Do you agree? As usual, some sick person in wardrobe decides to go shopping for one of our casts’ hotties (and we don’t have too many hotties on Y & R) with an idea to make them look cool. NOT COOL. LITERALLY! Only this HORRIFIC fashion choice makes everyone hot with anger and actually umm, hot. A fashion spy spotted The Great Billy Abbott wearing a brown pleather jacket on this week’s Y & R. I mean, with the introduction of Spring, you’d think they tossed it after last week, who knows if they did or if it will re-appear but this week we saw it in a FLASHBACK!!!
How cruel is that? Billy should NEVER EVER be seen in this jacket again or Billy Miller fans should start a petition for this jacket to be burned to a crisp. Lets stay on the lookout for this piece of work. Wardrobe you are killing us here. Enough with the jokes okay. Tune in next time for a closer look at our wedding guests and their attire at Kay and Murphy’s wedding.
Look, she is even posed for the royal court photo:
This piece is very fitting for spring, a black and white one piece dress with a light and business look to it. Very sophisticated for Phyllis and fitting to her actions on Friday’s episode-no drama, attempting to be a better person.
OMG! It’s Barbie Fashion Fever! Get out your accessories…
Y&R Recap Tuesday, April 28th 2009
So, word has gotten out that Noah Newman’s mom is a straight up klepto skank, and the Genoa City trench coat mafia is ready to lay the smack down on the littlest Newman.a
Never fear though, Noah put on his best ‘You Got That!’ face, and prepared to defend his mother’s ‘honor.’ FYI Noah, why don’t you put in a call to Maury for moms. She’s gonna need it. Noah is getting ready to throw down, but Eden on the other hand is like, “Dude, your mom’s a ho. Don’t be mad.”
Now that the after school special is over, we’ve got another commercial break sponsored by that trusty diversity campaign, this time featuring LaShawn, and LeSean…
Over at Newman Enterprises…
After seeing those looks her husband was throwing Colleen’s way, Vikki N. thought she’d pull a Phyllis, and distract Jeffrey Todd Newman with sex.
It ain’t working though…
As soon as Jeffrey Todd Newman could get away from his minder, he was back to sniffing around Colleen. Seems like MAB isn’t the only one who’s all about revisiting history.
At the Newman board meeting, Colleen was doing her best parrot impression by repeating all the facts that Uncle Jackie fed her. Y’all know I love those reaction shots, so let’s see how the crowd is feeling Power! Suit Colleen…
I think Colleen’s stint as board member is getting a better reaction than Adam’s stint as author.
Like her father, Vikki N. is not amused with Power! Suit Colleen. First CC is making moves on her man, now she’s making moves on her job. Vikki N. lets it be known that Jeffrey Todd Newman and that fragrance expansion, are not up for grabs. Power! Suit Colleen merely replies, “Bring it, bitch!”
Vikki N’s not the only one drawing lines in the sand. Neil lets Big Daddy Victor know they hey, he’s not the only that can snag a pretty young thang. Now that Neil is free of the ball and chain, and has himself a side piece, he ain’t taking orders from no one. That includes Big Daddy. Again, Big Daddy is not amused. But assuming that Neil will probably come back to the fold like he’s done every time before, Big Daddy let nuBig Daddy go. This time, I think the joke might be on you Victor.
At the Abbott Mansion…
Obviously Jackie just has a thing for nutty women. Let’s take a brief look at his history: Patty Williams(!), Diane Jenkins, Mary Jo Mason, Phyllis Summers, Sharin Newman/Abbott, and now, Mary Jane(!). One of these women seems exactly like the other. Hmmm…
She might be a nut, but Mary Jane and Jack have a lot in common. Neither of them is above using what they’ve got to get what they need. What better way is there to redeem Jack’s image, than to use Baby D? It’s not like anyone else is using her to their advantage (yes, Kate Valentine, I’m looking at you).
See, Jack loves Baby D. Just as much as her ‘daddy’…
Liam is finally back at work and in a suit. But he’s telling mommy dearest that Jack might be using him and Baby D. You think? Liam, I need you to do better. Liam’s not as dumb as he looks, though, because he tells mommy dearest that he’s looking for a new job. Good looking out Liam, because you’ll need it once Jackie finds out you were sticking it to his precious Sharin.
Back to Newman Enterprises…
Now, I know I told Big Red to handle Sharin herself. But Big Red, you’re slipping. You’ve been so busy playing Susie Homemaker, that you’re slacking on your trouble making skills. Big Red, you should be ashamed, allowing yourself to get caught by security cameras. You’ve gotten away with running someone over, and setting someone on fire. Big Red, tearing up Sharin’s room should have been cake walk for you. You’ve been hanging around Niclueless too long.
Niclueless had just made his 1,274th recommitment to his marriage to Big Red, when Detective Sexual Chocolate and his little side kick came in to bust up Big Red’s victory party.
And the moment many a Shick fan has been waiting for. Big Red gets arrested. Don’t get to celebrating too soon, though. This is child’s play for Big Red. She’s done hard time before, and she can do it again. Big Red will not be defeated.
Next time on the Young and the Restless…
Sharon SPOILER!!
The word on the street is that Sharon (Sharon Case), whose pregnancy is confirmed this week on Y&R, is going to find herself in the middle of a “Who’s the Daddy?” fiasco, with Jack (Peter Bergman), Billy (Billy Miller) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) each as a potential father.

Y&R Classic Clip
Considering that the soon-to-be Mrs-Newman 2: Electric Boogaloo is once more with child (even though she got into an accident and her uterus shut down out of protest or whatever), I picked this clip to show the newer viewers and remind the veterans who may be wondering why people in GC are starting to worry that she starts hearing a baby cry.
Well, that’s not to say that if you were with someone who was all “Hey, I hear a baby crying outside!” that your first reaction wouldn’t be “Oh, for real? Well, you go investigate that while I hide the cutlery.” Long story short, Ash has this whole Pregnant = Time To Go Batshit Crazy thing that she gets. Let me set up the clip for you after the jump.
Ashley and Brad were about to have their first biological child together. She’d survived a bout with breast cancer, and made up with her bff Olivia after that pesky “Hey, bitch, you slept with my husband.” thing, and it seemed that things were looking up. Well, everything except for Jabot, but I believe this was during the time where Jabot was on the verge of bankruptcy every five minutes. This was during the whole Tuvia/Safra cosmetics battle, and Safra was selling so well that Ashley got suspicious, and decided to go find Victor and tell him to knock whatever he was doing the hell off. So she decided to be really smart and get in her station wagon (WTF) and sped up a mountain or something. Wow, I am totally not making this brief.
Anyway, an equally ugly car rammed into the side of Ashley’s station wagon (seriously, what the fuck is an Abbott doing in a gotdamn STATION WAGON) and she was rushed to the hospital where she was rushed into surgery, and eventually miscarried hers and Brad’s son, whom Ash named Robert. After Liv told Ash that her babymaker had peaced out, she lost it and eventually made her way over to this gala Sharon was having at the Newman ranch dressed in a robe and proclaimed that the blanket she held in her arms was actually her baby boy. The aftermath was made all the more heartbreaking because Eileen Davidson, as we like to say, did the damn thing.
Kurphy Wedding!
Katherine and Murphy Wed
Thanks to Daytime Royalty
Tricia Cast and Beau Kayzer return to Y&R as Brock and Nina as Katherine finally prepares to wed Murphy. Katherine is overjoyed when Brock arrives in Genoa City just in time to officiate the wedding. “I love the mother/son dynamic I have with Beau,” praises Jeanne Cooper. “It comes so easily and really feels like we are family. I so enjoy working with him.”
Kay’s bridesmaids, Amber and Mac, work to ensure that everything runs smoothly for the ceremony while Billy wrestles with whether or not to bring Chloe. At the same time, matron-of-honor Nikki tries talking Jill into attending the wedding, even though Jill is still sore about learning they’re not related. Jill confesses that she misses having Katherine around, but she’s not sure attending the wedding is a good idea. “It’s gotten to the point where any time they’re together, an argument breaks out,” sighs Cooper.
Lonely and trying to get her mind off the wedding, Jill goes to the GCAC bar and runs into Gloria and Jeffrey. Rather than continuing with her animosity, Jill sets it all aside and drowns her sorrows with them.
Later, most of Genoa City arrives for the wedding. “I think it will be fun and incredibly moving for the audience,” says Co-Head Writer Scott Hamner. “You just don’t expect to meet a kindred soul and fall in love the way Murphy and Kay have. We love the character Jeanne Cooper plays so much that we wanted to give her a romantic story. She’s doing such a fabulous job.”
Cooper agrees. “I love the idea of having this story where it’s not about age. There are plenty of people out there who are at a certain age where they’re still vital and active, and still have a romantic life. I love that Y&R is willing to show this with Kay. She definitely wasn’t looking for a relationship, but realizes what a wonderful man Murphy is.”
Twenty-five things that I felt like writing down about Y&R Week Ending April 24, 2009.
So I have been charged with the blood curdling task of wrapping up Y&R for the week. Unlike my talented Cohorts who spent hours putting their blogs together by providing catchy screen caps, I would probably kill myself, if I have to go through the process of watching this show again. I hadn’t watched Y&R all week, and today on Sunday, a day of piece and relaxation, I chose to torture. I waited as long as I could, but jumped in with both feet and almost drown in a sea of BS! Unfortunately I lived, and now I have to relay to you lucky people who were spared the agony of watching this crap fest, the daily’s for the week. For those of you who are really interested in the details, I apologize, because although I only finished watching the show a few hours ago I don’t remember a thing. But alas, I though that this might happen since my brain has an automatic garbage disposal, so I took notes as I watched and picked out a few things that caught my interest. But let me honest, since this is the Delusional truth! I may as well tell the truth, which is that I only found three things interesting, and sadly enough that Chipmunk was one of them, while the rest is filler. So if some days seem longer than others, it’s probably because my eyes were actually somewhat focused enough for me the type.
So here is my wrap up, analysis or whatever the hello you want to call. And I swear to the truth, the whole truth and the complete Delusional truth, so help me DB’S.
Victor/Heather/Adam
1. What ADA personally deals with petty robbery charges? O yeah that would be the most useless DA in the history of television, also known as Heather Stephens AKA I don’t know how to STFU!
2. LMAO, Victor talking about Heather as if she’s not even there. Heather didn’t you get the memo that you are NOT wanted; you know the other day when Victor slammed the door in your face? He doesn’t want you in his house and I don’t want you on my screen. Victor to Heather “You are utterly incompetent,” SO BOUNCE Bitch BOUNCE!!!
3. Adam wants to write his memories and I have been given an advance peak at the title. “Memories of an Idiot, that no one will buy or read because I am an idiot.” I think its bit long but it has a nice ring to it.
Kevin, Amber, and Theodore
4. Favorite quote from Tuesday: Chipmunk “She believes in you, but you believe in me, right zombie boy.” I choose this quote because it was the most intelligent thing anyone said the entire EP.
5. Why does Amber look like the town tramp, and can someone buy her a comb? She and Daniel looked as if there one step away from buying Murphy’s trailer.
6. Kevin probably wanted to see Amber because her voice would blend in and then drown the chipmunk out. Although I have to admit that for me it was the best scene on Tuesday.
7. Where in the hell are the Doctors? They know that Kevin is seeing things so the orderly “get a straight jacket he’s agitated” comment was ridiculous. I don’t even know what to say, but MAB you are a HACK!!
8. Kevin was channeling Houdini as he launched himself out the back of a moving vehicle, while wearing a straight jacket, and unlocking the doors, all the will humming Chipmunk Fever.
Sharon/Phyliss/Nick
9. Sharon could you please stop your whining and get some help, and stop telling people who aren’t qualified to HELP YOU!!!
10. Phyllis you are just as pathetic as Chloe, WHY are you hanging on to man who doesn’t want you?
11. Nick”wank wank wa wa wank wank” please just STHU and grow a pair you pansy.
Lily/Cane
12. What twenty-one year old want to have dinner and go dancing at a place called the Colonnade Room? The name of the place alone produces visions of Kay and Murphy and The Cast of Cocoon swaying to the sounds of Perry Como.
13. Okay, did someone miss place Lily’s brain? Tom Castillo take the Wheel and drive this Fily to the nut house where Kevin’s staying, I think that Chipmunk swiped her brain along with Kevin’s sanity. I swear she was one step away from sniffing Cane and wagging her tail.
14. LMAO, Cane going back to his roots as a bartender? Really Cane, your loyalty to your fathers legacy is just astounding, you where all up in Jabot, but your marked indifference to a CI is has I am NOT Phillip Chancellor written all over it.
15. “I hear Fily wants a baby But, Fily’s barely got a brain, am I the only one, who thinks the storyline is lame?”
Billy/Chloe/Mac
16. What the hell was the costume designer thinking when she put Mac in that terrible dress? It’s like she was swallowed by a purple monster with zits, perhaps it’s cousins with the orange monster at Brady Bunch house?
17. LMAO Lily says that she’s going back into modeling and Chloe says “I’ll be your stylist”, and then Phyllis quips “but don’t let that color your opinion”
18. Um Chloe Wake the hell up, are you just that blind that you are the ONLY person who can’t see that Nick and Phyllis’s marriage is on the rocks. BUT then again you are under the misguided, psychotic, imaginary assumption that your marriage is perfect. Note to Woe, your marriage is a SHAM now you know, let’s all move on.
19. Where the Hell is Billy, and why is Liam even aloud to live? Someone please put him out of his misery, which translates into to two bullets with names Kate and Delia on them.
20. “What are we going to do with your daddy?” Um IDK get some self respect and leave him. Chloe WTF, why are you taking a baby in a bar? The sad thing is that this trick doesn’t think that anything is wrong?
21. The Bane scene was cute, Liam was NOT! Although I’m clueless as to why Cane looked like an extra from Grease? Cane is walking around town and I can’t take him serious because I feel in at any moment he’s going to burst out in “Grease Lightening go Grease Lightening.”
Karen/Neil/ Tyra Devon
22. Neil backstabbed Karen over wanting to adopt Anna while whining the entire time. “O, I didn’t know, I though that I could just shit on you and you would be as forgiving as Fily.
23. Devon just shut the HELL UP!! “I don’t want to see Tyra get hurt.” After what that Ho did, bitch please. Just shut you useless ass up, you, your sister, and Tired can talk yall happy Hamilton asses out of town!
24. Can I PLEASE stab Tyra? Tell me where the hell is Sheila Carter when you need her????
25. Best scene on Monday goes to Karen for slapping the taste out of Neil’s mouth; now if she would have only kneed him in the balls. O wait, he’d have to have some, so the slap did just nicely.
This weeks STFU performance goes to Neil Winters.
It was a hard choice, since both Lily and Heather also needed to just SDASTFU! But after thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided that to go with Neil, since he probably will not have anything to say for another month or so, that will be worth me easing my trigger finger off of the FF button to hear it. Neil you are a freaking coward, and your sorry ass excuses are just that, sorry. You claim to “love” Karen, but you stabbed her in the back without blinking an eye. If that’s the kind of love that you’re giving then I hope that Tired Tyra The Wonder HO accepts you with open arms. You have the audacity to walk around like your ish don’t stank, when the truth is you smell worse than Pepi la Peu! Why don’t you just do the world a favor and continue to kiss Victor ass, maybe if your lips were other wise occupied you wouldn’t be free to spew your stupidity. So again Neil Winters congratulations and STFU!!!
That’s a wrap!
Ash
Y&R Recap Friday, April 24th 2009
ADA Heather still hasn’t learned her lessson. Seems like her brief stint as lady of the house at Ye Olde Newman Ranch has made ADA Heather think she’s welcome. Just when she was about to be smoted (AGAIN), Mama Ashley (yes, Ashley has taken Karen’s place as the crazy lady who wants babies) saved the day, and convinced The Mustache to grant ADA Heather passage into the inner sanctum.
Even though TGVN wouldn’t share his plans with ADA Heather, turns out the old man was planning a birthday bash for his baby boy after all. It was an event that rivaled the awesomeness (read, epic lameness) of Noah’s sweet sixteen party, and featured all of Adumb’s favorite (read, most hated) people– Vikki N. and her personal manservant, Mama Ashley, and of course Daddy Dearest. There were even a few peeps there that Adumb didn’t know (yes, I’m talking to you Colleen Cecile Carlton).
Not one to be completely selfish, the birthday boy had a present for his guests– Adumb is writing a book! And this is why we call him Adumb. Has he not learned the history of those who dare publish anything remotely related to TGVN? Remember Leanna Love? Oh yeah, I forgot. Adumb knows first hand what it’s like to be smoted by The Mustache. That’s why he’s currently on house arrest. Of course naive ADA Heather was all smiles as Adumb made his announcement, but let’s see what the rest of the party guests were thinking.
Reaction Shots:
I don’t think they’re happy.
Sidenote: Was this a tea party? Note the teacups and raised pinkies. Just a thought.
We can’t conclude the recap of Adumb’s fabulous (read, FAIL) party, without discussing the love story that is RAM! (that’s Rafe+Adam for those of you not up on your smoosh names, and yes, the exclamation point is required). I think I see supercouple potential.
Over at the Baldwin/Fisher house (read, insane asylum), Kevin is crazy, water is wet, fire is hot, and the sky is blue.
On the other side of town, Michael is trying to talk ADA Heather into getting Kev better medical care. Whatever Mikey’s trying to sell though, ADA Heather ain’t buying. See, Mikey’s lost his touch, his pimp hand’s just not strong anymore.
And the insanity continues.
At the Brady Bunch house, Fillip (fake+phillip=fillip, because in the words of Nina Webster, ‘He’s no phillip’) and Fily (fake+lily=fily, because as long as she continues to talk! like! this! she’s no lily) are trying to make a baby. Awww, how cute. They’re so happy y’all! If the hearts, stars, rainbows, and unicorns didn’t give it away, you can tell Fillip and Fily are deleriously happy, by all the grinning and cooing they do at each other.
Fillip was about one stitch away from splitting his jeans, but dear, sweet, beautiful Humphrey came in and saved the day. Unfortunately for us (read, thank you IIC!), Fillip and Fily had to take their baby making elsewhere.
Wait, wait. Time out. Fily, can I talk to you for a second?
Fily: Sure!
Me: Um…Fily. You’re trying to have a baby?
Fily: Yeah! For sure!
Me: Fily, what happened to modeling?
Fily: I! can! model! and! have! a! baby! Modeling! is! easy!
Me: Hmm…cool beans.
Fily: Yeah!
Me: Um…Fily. Didn’t you just tell Colleen, literally about ten minutes ago, that you didn’t want a baby?
Fily: Gosh! no!
Me: Um…Fily. I think you did.
Fily: Gosh! no! Me! want! babbby!
I guess Fily always did want a baby. Let’s rewind a little bit…
Hmmm…that’s what I thought. Fily, girl you so crazy, lol. Moving on.
Earlier in the day, before Adam’s party full of Win (read, full of Fail), JT was taking a little trip down memory lane, trying to figure out exactly how did he become Vikki N’s main biotch. Clearly, Vikki N. gets it from her daddy. She might be a bore, but Vikki N’s pimp hand is strong. JT hasn’t seen his balls since the 12th of NEVAH.
JT thought he would get a little time in with Colleen before his owner spotted him, but he should have known better. Vikki N. came in out of nowhere, and shut that down real quick. Oh well, maybe next time JT. Maybe next time.
The diversity campaign keeps rolling on, and Y&R makes show history…
Fily is happy! with her boo, Fillip, so of course she would want her main bff Colleen to be happy! with a man, too. GC is limited at the moment with young, single men, so the only person Fily can think of for Colleen is Rafe. And guess what? Doogie Howser Esq. just happened to walk into Crimson Lights. Fily made quick introductions, and left Colleen and Doogie Howser Esq. alone to make a love connection.
Doogie and Colleen get to chatting, and Doogie’s all, “Um, yeah, you’re looking for a man. But I’m looking for one, too. I’m gay. We can still hang out though.”
And there you have it. The Young and the Restless finally has a gay character, and the diversity campaign has met it’s quota. All joking aside, though, I appreciate how Y&R didn’t make a big deal of it. It was what it was. Rafe is gay. Colleen is straight. Water is still wet. Fire is still hot. And the sky is still blue.
Next time on The Young and the Restless…
Ashley’s hearing crying babies. Looks like someone else is headed for a padded cell.
Oh No!! Not Again!! Is Ashley Losing Her Mind??
This week, Ashley begins to worry that she’s losing her mind when strange things start happening.
“At first, Ashley knows something is awry,” sets up Eileen Davidson. “But as things keep happening, she slowly starts to wonder, ‘Maybe it’s me.’”
It all starts when Ashley’s outside on the Newman grounds. “Ashley hears an infant crying,” recounts Davidson. “She runs around like crazy trying to find the source of it. Then she starts screaming for Victor.”
Victor runs to Ashley’s side, “but he doesn’t hear anything,” says Davidson. “The crying stops. Ashley insists she definitely heard a baby and that they have to find this abandoned child. Security goes out and searches, but there’s nothing.”
Ashley, who has dealt with mental health issues in the past, insists that she wasn’t just imagining the baby’s cries. “She feels defensive, because that’s always been an issue and she’s sensitive to it,” admits Davidson.
Victor and Olivia discuss the possibility of Ashley losing the baby and what would happen to her mental state if she miscarried. “Ashley absolutely promises both of them that if anything feels off at all, she’s tell them immediately,” notes Davidson.
Later, Ashley goes for another stroll outside and finds a statue that Victor had commissioned of Sabrina holding a baby. “It’s completely unnerving and a very strange thing to find on the middle of the grounds,” points out Davidson. “But when Victor asks Ashley if it disturbs her, she says, ‘No.’ Ashley’s super-sensitive about seeming like she’s okay. She doesn’t want to appear she’s having a problem even when she is having a problem. She’s afraid it’s going to be misconstrued.”
Ashley goes upstairs to get ready for her birthday evening with Victor and finds a dress, earrings and shoes laid out for her. “Ashley thinks Victor is just being sweet. She puts everything on and goes downstairs, but Victor freaks when he sees her. Ashley doesn’t understand why. Victor asks her to please leave, so she goes upstairs. Later, she comes down and asks Estella and Adam what was up with the dress. What was wrong? She finds out she was wearing the same outfit Sabrina died in.”
Victor suspects that Nikki set up Ashley and immediately confronts her about it. Meanwhile, Ashley heads back to her bedroom and makes an incredible discovery. “She finds a receipt saying she purchased all those things,” gasps Davidson. “But she knows she didn’t and figures it has to have been Estella. Of course, Ashley doesn’t have any proof and so many things are happening. It’s getting super creepy, and Ashley’s getting a little panicky. She’s starting to doubt her own sanity.”
Perhaps Ashley should widen her list of suspects?
Is Ashley Losing It?

Interview with Tricia Cast (Nina)
Tricia Cast returns to Y&R on May 1st for a “handful of episodes” when Katherine and Murphy get married. Cast most recently appeared on the show in November for the funeral of Katherine Chancellor.
“Coming back certainly feels like home, It was great fun,” she enthuses. “Everyone has been so warm and welcoming, and it’s been so nice to see all the friendly and familiar faces. It’s wonderful. It’s a great group of people at the show.”
Tricia explains that many things have changed at the show — like her old dressing room, for example. “Michelle Stafford has moved into my old room, so I’ve been floating,” she explains.
Over the last several years, Tricia has taken a break from acting and she’s been living in Tennessee with her husband, musician Bat McGrath. She’s been doing lots of quilting and gardening and taking care of her three dogs. “I’ve been living a very quiet life, which has been lovely.”
“When they asked me to come back for Katherine’s funeral, I thought the visit would be such a nice opportunity, and it was,” she explains. “It was great seeing everyone and I enjoyed meeting Daniel Goddard and having that scene where they discussed him being the ‘real’ Phillip. So then when they asked me to come back for her wedding, I couldn’t resist that, either.”
Cast says that she’s open to more appearances in the future. “It’s all up to the show. If they’d like me to come in from time to time, that’s great, and I’d be happy to pop in and out as often as they’d like.”
“One of the most commendable parts of Maria’s storytelling is using the rich history of the show,” notes Co-Head Writer Scott Hamner of Y&R’s decision to bring back vets like Cast and Beau Kayzer (Brock). “These popular characters from the past will only help to generate more story.”

Y&R Recap Wednesday, April 22nd 2009
Poor silly, naive ADA Heather Stevens. Chick was just trying to visit her boo, and plan a little birthday shindig with his dad. Yes, everyone, that day you’ve all been waiting for, otherwise known as Adam Wilson’s birthday, is around the corner. Secretly wanting to spend the big day planning the demise of ‘dearest’ Ashley, or some other nonsense, Adam tries to convince Heather that he doesn’t want to celebrate. “Ashley’s birthday is next week, it’s more important,” he tells ADA Heather. But ADA Heather can’t take the hint, so she declares that she will plan something with The Great Victor Newman. But no sooner can she verbalize this grande idea of hers, then The Mustache himself arrives at his doorstep.
“Mumble, muble, muble, mumble, what the hell are you doing here?”
“Like Victor, I like totally like have this like great idea like to like have a birthday party for Adam. Like how are you like planning to like celebrate?”
“Mumble, mumble, mumble, It’s none of your damn business!”
“But like Vic–”
Now on to the rest of the show…
Kevin is still in the looney bin, and big bro Mikey is trying to convince him he’s really a good boy. Kev ain’t buying it, but maybe that look on Greg Rikaart’s face is simply a plea to Maria Arena Bell to get him out of this storyline. Or maybe, it’s because Alvin (you know, the chipmunk) is getting through to Kev, where Michael ain’t…
Apparently Kevin wasn’t a fan of the Chipmunks growing up. Alvin, Simon, Theodore and the gang will be crushed.
Today’s commercial break is being brought to us by the CBS Diversity Campaign. Say cheese Tyrone, you’re on candid camera!
Back to the show.
Over in the middle of nowhere, Kay, Joe Jr. Pearl, Murphy and the gang, are having a memorial service for dear old alcoholic Marge. For some reason Amber, noMac, and Nikki were there. You know Y&R gotta get their money’s worth out of those sets. We’re in a recession y’all! People got up and said some things about Marge, but I don’t know if they were nice or not, because honestly, I kinda tuned out. Marge is the reason for that “Kay is Marge/Oh no she’s not/Oh yes she is/Oh wait it’s Kay/Hell naw it’s Marge/OMG it is Kay!” storyline, so I’m glad she’s gone 
.
See guys, noMac does occasionally smile. Even if it is at the memorial service of a woman she’s never met, and who once kidnapped her beloved grandma. Those facts don’t matter.
At the commencement of the festivities, Kurphy informed Amber and noMac that they will be getting married on May 1st (Sorry Lane fans, but Kurphy is getting that big spring wedding mama MAB spoiled months ago. If Ana is singing, then you know it’s a party.), and they want this lovely duo to be bridesmaids. Amber immediately asked to design the wedding and bridesmaid dresses, and if that jacket she designed for Daniel is any indication…I’m sure it will be beautiful. I think she mentioned something about butterflies and wings, but Amber’s voice is so high, only dogs and other small animals can truly understand.
It’s the CBS Diversity Campaign again. Say cheese Nikki aka Baby Gurl, you’re on candid camera!
Back to the show.
Meanwhile, back at notVogue, I mean Restless Style, Big Red can’t understand why ADA Heather won’t press charges against Sharin for stealing her damn monkey. Big Red, did you not get the memo? ADA Heather is not good at her job. She has a zero win success rate. Big Red, you are better off handling Sharin yourself. Now tell pretty little ADA Heather, that you no longer have any use for her. Bye ADA Heather! See you again next month!
Since ADA Heather proved to be useless, AGAIN!, Big Red decided to go another route in her quest to see Sharin in the slammer, and away from her man. Big Red had a foolish moment, though, and thought she could get Victor, yes the same Victor that Sharin has ’shared’ with, to call in his connections and put Sharin away. It went like this…
“Hey Vic, you know that egg you and Sabs had, the one that crazy maid of yours thinks Ashley thinks she stole? Turns out another crazy stole it. No! Not me. Another crazy, Sharin. I’m concerned for her, you should have her arrested. It would be good for her.”
“Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, Girl, BYE!”
And TGVN has pwnd his second person of the day.
At some point during this ep, Michael and Nick had a conversation, but it was totally boring, so we will move on.
So of course after Big Red spilled the beans, The Mustache had to run over and see how is ‘Darling Sharon’ was doing. Homegirl looked like she had been doing the crackhead shimmy again, but she let Victor in, and showed him some love. No, she didn’t sleep with him. Sharin would never sleep with her husband’s, er ex-husband’s, family. Nah, she wouldn’t do that (we’ll forget about Billy, he was just a figment of her imagination).
After she got some backup, Sharin was ready to face Big Red. I think the photo’s caption accurately sums up how it went down, and I have nothing else to add. Oh, yeah, Big Red got shut down. Again. Obviously, it is not her week.
Next time on The Young and The Restless…
Can’t a man get his drink on in peace?
Y&R Recap Tuesday, April 21st 2009
Couples in turmoil….and a marriage proposal? Makes me go to a delusional place. Think about it. Hope to see you on the delusional side. Now on to the reacap…
Daniel sits painting and randomly asks Amber if she wants to get takeout. Amber, who appears to be sketching or doing work of some sort, yells that she can’t do this. Because Daniel is slow on uptake, he asks if she is talking about getting take out (someone has the munchies). Amber proceeds to explain that she cannot act like life is normal when it is not. Daniel soon realizes that Amber is worried about Kevin. Amber is convinced that she can help Kevin; she wants to maybe talk to a judge on Kevin’s behalf. Daniel doesn’t want Amber to spend anymore of her time on Kevin; he wants her to think about herself and the jail time that she might have to put in.
Jana is visiting with Kevin in his private padded suite. Jana expresses how much she misses her man. She even mentions that she bought a new Ouija board that told her he was coming home. She goes on about taking a vacation. During all of this Kevin just sits and stares, not even looking at her. Jana switches up the conversation and begins talking about how hard Michael is working to get him out. Kevin is still just staring off into the distance. Jana switches it up once more. She gets on her knees and begins to plead; “Baby it’s me, your wifey. I am here for you. I believe in you.” Then Kevin starts trippin. The chipmunk voice starts talking noise, telling Kevin that he is its biotch. Kevin starts yelling shut up and leave me alone. Jana gets the impression that he is talking to her.
Neil is sitting looking at Karen’s wedding band when there is a knock at the door. It’s Devon and he walks in asking Neil if he thought that it would be Karen. Neil changes the subject to Ana and wonders if Devon is helping her move in. Devon admits that he came over to get some of Ana’s things. He then tells Neil that he is a trifflin bastard for knocking boots with his aunt, but he is a cool dude for helping out his sister.
Lily is trapped on the orange monster by Cane who is laying on her. She comments on how crazy the day has been. Cane tells her that he ain’t got no job. Lily gives him the “you ain’t go no job” look. He goes on to explain that the business world was way too complicated for him and that he likes things simple. He looks at Lily giving her his best Blue Steel. As a result, she agrees that simple is good.
Sharon opens her revolving hotel room door and guess who is on the other side, Nick. Sharon tries to tell Nick that she is fine. Nick does not buy it so he pops his colla on her. Nick’s pimp action convinces her to get back in the room so that he can talk to her. Sharon talks about how Noah hates her, how she let Eden go down for the book steal, and how she is going to confess all her evil deeds to the DA. Nick tells her to kill all that noise.
At the coffeehouse sexual chocolate, Detective Gil (my bad), talks to Michael, Lauren and Phyllis. He explains that most of the items found from Sharon’s room were from Fenmore’s. Phyllis is like she sho nuf be stealing detective. Gil hands over an envelop with photos of the items recovered. Phyllis gladly takes the envelop.
Devon is about the leave Neil’s with some hot pink luggage. He tells Neil that if he misses Ana he can visit her. Neils says that it will not be the same. Devon then asks what’s up with Neil and Tyra. Neils admits that he was not thinking (hmm…like that’s a surprise). They talk about court and what happened. Hurting Karen is mentioned. However, the emphasis is on Tyra and her not getting hurt (gags). Devon bring up Neil cheating and Neil says that him cheating was a part of him that he did not know existed (umm…Carmen). Devon suggests that Neil come over to the house to join in the celebration. Neil declines the offer.
The orange monster makes its second appearance with Lily and Cane. Cane is going on about wanting to wake up and look forward to his day and not having his job follow him home. He brings up what kind of job he can get (me glued to TV; I want to hear this); however, Lily cuts him off (my fingers were crossed hoping to hear bartender, dang it). She tells him that he cannot have all the answers and Cane admits that he does not even know the questions. Out of nowhere Cane asks Lily if she is going to finish college. She assures him that she will and brings up wanting to model again and the opportunity at Restless Style. Cane says they are both starting over and starting over together.
Amber and Daniel continue to argue about Amber’s role in Kevin’s life. Amber believes that Kevin needs her. Daniel goes into punk mode and counters with he needs her too. He whines about their dreams and the future they planned together being ruined because Amber might be in the big house. Amber reassures Daniel with the usual “you know I love you” and “you are important to me.” Daniel buys it and the slob action begins. Back at the padded suite, Jana apologizes to Kevin for pushing too hard earlier. She tells him that she loves him while making him look at her. The chipmunk hallucination continues. In the hallucination, Kevin walks into the coffeehouse which is candlelit to find Jana sitting at a table like she is ready for a romantic dinner. Kevin walks up to Jane telling her that he loves her, but she appears not to hear him. The chipmunk starts talking noise again saying that Jana does not love Kevin because he is crazy. Amber pops up in the patio window and telling Kevin not to believe the Chipmunk. Back to reality…Jana asks Kevin if he can hear her. All Kevin can do is say Amber’s name. Jana looks heartbroken.
Back at the coffeehouse, Lauren, Michael and Phyllis look through the pictures that sexual chocolate, Detective Gil (my bad), gave them. Phyllis wants to press charges for the cheap motel monkeys that Sharon swiped from her house. Micheal lets her know that the monkey statue is not worth enough to press charges. Lauren considers pressing charges against Sharon because of the items stolen from Fenmore’s. Micheal asks Lauren if seeing Sharon go to jail is what she really wants. Phyllis is like hell yeah send that thief to jail. Michael calls Phyllis out on wanting Sharon to go to jail so that Sharon will not be able to get next to her man. Back in the hotel room, Nick continues to try to convince Sharon to not turn herself in. Nick brings up what happened with Brad and Noah at the lake to suggest that Sharon feels the need to be punished for that because she feels guilty. He tells her that it was not her fault. Sharon just gives him a look (it could have been a sex me up and freak me down look or a how much can I get for that shirt look; I am unsure).
Daniel and Amber are starting a freak down on the sofa when there is a knock at the door. It is Jana. As Jana begins to explain what happened during her visit with Kevin, she gets a headache. Daniel and Amber show concern. Jana goes on to explain how Kevin ignored her and asked for Amber. She goes as far to say that Amber may be the only one who can help Kevin.
Back in the house where the 70s dwell, Cane brings up the nursery. Then he hits Lily up with some I bought the house for us because we were going to start a family one day talk. Apparently it is a year ago to the day that Lily thought she was pregnant with Cane’s child. The two remember what happened. Unable to escape Blue Steel, Lily tells Cane that she still wants to have his baby (her body will probably just reject his seed once more). Then Cane asks if the marriage is still one the table. Lily tells him to ask her again. “He who leaps over sofas” does just that and leaps over the sofa to get the ring like Peter Pan. During all this foolishness, Lily is trapped on the orange monster giving off a fake laugh like “and I want to be with this corny mo fo.” Now with ring in hand, Cane walks over to Lily and gets on one knee. He calls it wedding proposal take 4 (NOTE TO CANE: IT IS WEDDING PROPOSAL TAKE 5 YOU IDIOT!!!). Anyway, Cane asks. Lily says yes and they kiss. After kissing, Lily asks for her ring. Cane puts it on her finger and Lily acts as if she has never seen it before and never had it on her finger before (I love you Lily, but really???). They decide to celebrate by watching Casablanca after Lily tells her dad about her engagement.
Back in Sharon’s den of love, Nick tells her not say anything to anyone about her situation. Nick is like look woman if you want to do some community service or something because you feel bad, fine, but you are not going to the DA to confess. Sharon tells Nick that she is guilty. He then throws the what about your son card.
At the coffeehouse, Phyllis explains to Lauren and Micheal that Nick is living with Vikki. Lauren is like say what! Phyllis goes on to explain that she and Nick are always fighting over Sharon. Micheal just has to throw in that Phyllis is obsessed with Sharon. Lauren co-signs by saying that Phyllis has been a taste bit jealous of Sharon. Phyllis lets Lauren know that there is reason to dislike Sharon and the reason is that Sharon has sexed her husband up not once but twice. Lauren and Micheal are shocked. Phyllis goes on this rant about what am I suppose to do. Lauren tells Phyllis to take Sharon out of the equation. Phyllis gets the oh hell yeah look in her eye causing Lauren to explain that she meant dealing with issues and not literally taking Sharon out (we know how Phyllis likes to roll).
Devon is at the coffeehouse picking up some food when he runs into Cane. They talk about Ana being with Tyra (her mother), Cane dropping his custody case because it was the right thing to do and blah, blah, blah (did I fall asleep?). Lily is at Neil’s. They talk about Neil losing Karen because of what he did in the custody case. Neil admits that Karen was the first woman to make him smile after Dru’s death and that he is sorry for the pain he caused her. After taking all of half a second to reflect on the situation, Neil asks Lily what she had to tell him. Lily wants to tell him later, but Neil insists. She drops the we are getting married bomb. Neil gives the WTF look; however, he decides not to question it and just be happy for his daughter after Lily says that she has never been more sure about anything in her life (yeah right Lily…try to convince yourself, but I am not buying).
Jana, Amber and Daniel arrive outside of Kevin’s padded suite. Daniel is pouting like a baby (man up please). Amber enters to room to find Kevin sitting on his bed with a blank stare. Amber asks Kevin is he was checking for her.
Michael and Lauren are at the Athletic Club sitting at a table enjoying each other’s company. Lauren asks Michael how is he able to stay tight and stay right with all the craziness going on with Kevin and Eden. Micheal does not want to be reminded of Eden getting her freak on. Micheal tells Lauren that his flyness comes from her and that she is what keeps him grounded. They start the lip action. Lauren gets the stank face when Sharon walks over. Sharon wants to apologize but she is not giving up any details on why she did what she did. Lauren digs into Sharon about letting Eden go down for books Sharon stole.
Phyllis pops up at Newman to see Nick. Nick wants to know what Phyllis is doing there. Phyllis asks Nick to come home because Summer misses him. Nick lets Phyllis know that he is staying on the ranch so that he can be close to his daughter. Phyllis wants him to come home so they can talk, but Nick does not want to come home because they don’t talk; they just yell. Phyllis begs him to come home. Nick is like look woman I need my space so please get off my piece.
Jana is talking to Daniel outside of Kevin’s padded suite. She is going on and on about how Kevin should not be locked up in that room while Daniel is disinterested. Daniel, still in punk mode, expressed how he does not like Kevin taking over Amber’s life. Jana has to set him straight by letting him know that she does not like her man calling for another woman. Amber is in the room talking to Kevin telling him to remember what they went through and encouraging him to fight whatever it is he is currently going through. Back in Kevin’s hallucination, Amber and the Chipmunk dance around the coffeehouse. The chipmunk is bad talking Kevin some more. Amber encourages Kevin to fight it. After remembering some of what they went through together, Kevin comes back to reality. All he says is Amber’s name.
Neil looks at Karen’s wedding band that is on the table. He has a flashback their wedding day. After taking his wedding band off, he places it on top of Karen’s on the table.
Cane presents Lily with a gift. She acts happy when she sees that it is just a planner. Cane tells her to check for a bookmark. Lily sees that May 15th is booked marked and he asks if that is a good day for a wedding. Lily agrees; they smile and kiss and hug.
Amber gets Kevin to admit that he is scared of the Chipmunk. She also convinces him to face his fear and face the Chipmunk. Kevin agrees to try to face his fear.
Lauren gets in Sharon’s face telling her off for possibly ruining Eden’s life. Once again, Sharon offers an apology. Lauren lets Sharon know that she is pressing charges.
Phyllis and Nick take their conversation to the break room at Newman. Nick tells Phyllis that he feels pressure. Phyllis wants him to come home because she is starting to feel like it is the beginning of the end of their relationship. Nick is like if you think I am coming home now you are sadly mistaken.
Dang…this recap took forever. I am sleepier than a mug.
