Good for Nikki! It's about time she stood up to Vile Victor. I'm glad she refused to lie to protect him, unlike daddy's girl Victoria. Nikki has more integrity than her daughter. As for Princess Victoria, she even uttered Victor's dubious justification for all his evil deeds. She actually told Nikki that she had to do everything it takes to protect her family. Perhaps we should call her "Victor's Echo."
Poor Nikki! No wonder she's having such a hard time to recover from her alcoholism. Her family is so dysfunctional. Even Nicholas, who claims he wants to part of his father's schemes, is trying to help Victor. I thought Nick was trying to be his own man. I thought wanted to keep his distance from his father's nefarious deeds.

Well, it's pretty obvious now why the writers have chosen to give Ashley Abbott health problems. The reason is to bring her closer to Dr. Stitch. I think Stitch'em Up will continue to express his concern and A.A. will be unable to resist her attraction to him, despite the fact that he is her daughter's boyfriend. I hope there is much more to the storyline than a mother and daughter in love with the same man.
Readers, I must say that the storylines are becoming more outlandish and convoluted than ever. Now, both Sharon and Sage are expecting the pitter patter of little feet. I am trying to figure out how the two new babies will fit into the plot. However, we're talking about Y&R, so one or both of the babies may not survive. Also, did you notice that Sharon threw away her medication?
Now Adam/Gabriel has selected Abby Newman to be COO of Newman-Abbott, a large corporate conglomerate. What experience does she have to qualify her for such a senior executive post? It's ridiculous.

VIEWER FORUM
I have a lot of viewer reaction to pass on to you.
CC from Etobicoke, Ontario has sent me some comments and opinions:
Is Marco dead or alive?
Yes, CC, it would be a relief if Gabriel's true identify were revealed. It's taken far too long.
It appears that Marco is alive. A soap website spoiler says that Jack and Marco will join forces to seek revenge against Victor. Not only that, but the writers would want to capitalize on the dramatic effect of having the "two Jacks" meet.
I'm sure the real killer and motive will eventually be revealed. However, I hope they don't drag the murder mystery out too long. That's a mistake soaps tend to make. I realize that they have to keep the story going for awhile, but if it goes on too long, it loses its impact and viewers lose interest.
Regular viewer, Fifi from Collingwood, complains that Y&R has become overly rough and violent. She says there have been too many shootings and vicious attacks. The show is just not as much fun as it used to be. There are not enough everyday life situations. There is not enough humour.

If only Gabriel/Adam's daydream where Jack spills all the beans were to come true, it would be a relief. Then life in GC could move on from that mess.
Is Marco dead or alive?
Will we ever know who the real killer is and the motive?

I tend to agree with Fifi. I would like to see some more laughter and lightheartedness on the show. There is too much tenseness. I also think Y&R lacks real romance too. Where is the supercouple that viewers can cheer for? What couple has real magic? They are all deceiving each other and betraying each other. Who is working together and struggling to overcome difficulties together?
Carly from Barrhaven, Ontario emailed me with this comment;
The writers have taken Victor to new heights now by shooting Jack in cold blood, although he thought he was shooting Marco.
I would also like to point out, Carly, that Victor was the one who brought a dangerous drug lord to Genoa City in the first place. He was the one who endangered his family. The writers are making Victor more evil than he used to be. He doesn't seem to have a conscience anymore.
Patsy from Sarasota, Florida has sent me some of her comments and observations.
Are there only two places for accommodation in Genoa City?
Seems there is a motel out on the highway out of town or Genoa City Athletic Club (GCAC).
How did Jack and Marissa stay at the Genoa City AA and not spotted by Marco, Victor
And any of the gang? Should of stayed at that motel out by the highway!
And Noah paying for new friend Marissa to stay at GCAC! What would The Donald think?
And how did Marissa know about Chelsea Lawton designs? I do not think these new writers are thinking story lines through. Ashley recovering from brain surgery in one day!
Abby being made Chief Operating Officer of Newman Abbott.
I know it is a soap opera but......
As usual, good observations, Patsy. It only a soap, but the writers should have more respect for the intelligence of the viewers. They shouldn't be so blatant when they suspend realism.
CAST NEWS
As of this writing, there are no new developments concerning the possibility of Billy Miller returning to Y&R as Billy Abbott. I will keep you posted.

It won't be long before Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott Fenmore Atkinson) and Tristan Rogers (Colin Atkinson) return to Y&R. Jess has tweeted "I'll be back in Genoa City soon." In early June, she and her husband attended a wedding in England.
According to Soap Central, "Tristan Rogers returns as Colin Atkinson on July 29 (CBS), July 28 (Global TV in Canada).
Let's just hope that the Y&R writers can provide Jill and Colin with an improved storyline. They deserve better than what they have had to work with. That ludicrous music box storyline did not go over well, to say the least.
Below is a photo of Jess Walton at the River Cam in Cambridge, England.

Sofia Pernas, who portrays the mysterious Marissa, has an interesting background. She was born in Fes, Morocco on July 31, 1989 to a Moroccan mother and a Galician father. Galicia is in northwestern Spain, so that accounts for her Hispanic appearance.
Sofia eventually settled in Los Angeles and began a modelling career. I wondered whether her accent was fake but I guess it's authentic, given her background.
Y&R REPORT READER'S POLL
Speaking of Marissa, would you like to see her with Noah? He's still grieving over the loss of Courtney. Will Marissa spell trouble for him?

| Sofia Pernas (Marissa) |

| Robert Adamson (Noah Newman) |
Do you think Noah and Marissa would make a good couple?
That's all for now. Don't forget that the next edition of Y&R Report will appear in this space on Saturday, July 18, 2015.
