Hey Y&R fans, every second Saturday TV Banter discusses the latest happenings and provides commentary on your favourite daytime drama. Note to U.S. readers - SPOILER ALERT: Here in Canada, I watch the show on Global TV which is one episode ahead of CBS. I will inevitably refer to incidents you haven't seen yet. Read at your own risk. If you are the curious type, though, you may prefer to discover some things in advance.
Billy is crashing and burning. Eileen Davidson (Ashley) has left the show. That's why I think Jack will resume his place as CEO of Jabot. Poor Traci, who really any desire to run Jabot, is caught in the middle of all the chaos. She is being pressured into being interim CEO of Jabot. What a mess!
Nick and Sharon are entering into marriage and both are keeping huge secrets from each other. They had a chance to come clean with each other, but they lost their nerve. I don't usually agree with Summer, but I don't think their marriage has any chance of survival. The writer's have really messed with Nick's character. He had some nerve buying a house without Sharon's knowledge.or approval. That's not partnership. It's control.
I just can't warm up to Rae Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) and I probably never will. I know it's not Jordi Vilasuso's fault, but I resent his character for usurping Paul Williams' role. I really think Doug Davidson was treated shabbily and I can't stand seeing Rae in Paul's office and effectively taking over his job. He'll probably replace Paul as Genoa City's police chief. By the way, I wonder how the writers are going to deal with Paul's departure.
I wish Phyllis would mind her own business. She has to interfere in everything. She even crashed the party for Nick and Sharon. No wonder her Snowflake of a daughter is so resentful. However, Phyllis wouldn't be Phyllis if she stayed out of other people's affairs. Someone has to stir things up and she certainly is an expert at that.
CAST NEWS
The latest on Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith Newman)
Faith Newman (Alyvia Alyn Lind) has not been seen onscreen since early summer. The 11-year-old, who has been portraying the daughter of Nick and Sharon since 2011, has landed a role in the film Walk. Ride. Rodeo. She will also be appearing as Lugnut in the Hulu series Future Man.
She is a talented young actress and her career appears to be blossoming. With her busy schedule, she may not be able to continue her role on Y&R for much longer. If that happens, there's a good chance that the show will cast an older actress to play Faith.
Faith spent the summer at camp. Now that school has started and her parents are about to remarry, she can't stay away any longer.
Alice Hunter cast in the role of Jabot employee Kerry Jones
Alice Hunter has been cast in the role of a Jabot employee named Kerry Jones. Her character has ties to both Newman and Jabot. Alice is a newcomer to daytime television, but has had roles on Showtime's House of Lies and Comedy Central's Another Period. Alice is quite adept at accents and she is also a singer.
Alice will make her first appearance as Kerry Jones near the end of October.
