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
Hi fans,
Sharon and Rey have reconciled, at least for now. I can't see it lasting, though. Adam is still very much in the picture and he continues to be a threat to their marriage. It's just a matter of time before Sharon goes running to Adam again. The two will never be able to break their connection, especially now that Adam has become a hero to Sharon by saving her daughter Faith's life twice, first by rescuing her from a car crash and second by donating his kidney to her.
Summer and Kyle's engagement party was a real fiasco. A desperate Tara and her little son, Harrison, showed up just in time to put a damper on the whole affair. If that's a harbinger of things to come for Summer and Kyle, they may never make it to the altar. Kyle is getting pulled further and further into Tara and Harrison's orbit. He plans to claim paternity of his son.
Now that Tara ad Harrison are living in the Abbott home, Kyle will never be able to tear himself away from the boy. How can he resist the sweet, innocent curly-haired tyke who just happens to be his biological son? Will there be room for Summer in all of this, or will Summer lose patience? What's a Snowflake to do?
It won't take Ashland long to locate Tara and Harrison in the Abbott estate. He will also soon discover that Kyle is actually Harrison's biological daddy. Then he will really blow a gasket and try to destroy the Abbott empire.
Isn't Ashland nasty? Richard Locke plays the villain so well. He's a fine actor and adds so much to the show. That's why I am pleased that his character didn't die from his heart attack. Ashland is a terrible bully and everyone seems so afraid of him, but not Victor, Victoria or Phyllis. Kyle is deluding himself that he can handle a ruthless titan like Ashland. Kyle and Billy are just not in the same league as Victor and Ashland. They're also not in the same league as Phyllis.
Why is Victoria being so friendly to Asland? Well, I don't think it's because she has any romantic interest in him. According to online spoilers, they share some common ground. That can only mean they have a common enemy, a common personal interest or a common business interest. Remember that Victoria does not want Victor and Adam to destroy Billy Boy Abbott's company. That is a priority for the Newman Princess.
VIEWER FORUM
If you have any comments on Y&R, please email them to me with "Viewer Forum" in the subject line. I will be happy to publish your comments and reply to them You do not have to use your real name.
Here is an email that I received from longtime Y&R viewer Carly in Barrhaven, Ontario.
As for Y&R, still loving "The Moustache. Love his winks and his comments. I am finding the Adam-Chelsea-Rey-Victor storyline the best.
I think the new Faith (Reylynn Caster) is good but so was the other actress (Alyvia Alyn Lind). As for the Kyle-Summer wedding, I can t stand those two, so I don t care what happens. Yes, Sally Spectra is quite the interesting character. I did notice that they are no longer social distancing so they must get tested daily and also probably received both doses of the vaccine.
Yes, Carly, I also love Eric Braeden s performance as Victor Newman. He is remarkable. I enjoy his winks and his comments too. Whenever he want to dismiss someone, he tells them abruptly to "have a nice day." As Mark Grossman (Adam) once described him, he is 'The Man." The expressions on his face are priceless.
I am not fond of Summer and Kyle in the sense that they are both spoiled and have a sense of entitlement. However, I really like their current storyline with Tara and Ashland. The chickens are coming home to roost for the hotshot co-CEO of Jabot. He has Ashland coming after him. Nick and Victor will blame him for breaking Summer's heart. Summer says she intends to stand by her man, but I think his connection with Tara and Harrison will eventually be too much for her to tolerate.
Sally Spectra certainly is quite the interesting character. She is spunky and she's a troublemaker. She's also a great rival for Summer. I noticed in the previews and spoilers that Sally will also form an alliance with media mogul Ashton Locke. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that she will use the alliance to damage Kyle and Summer's relationship.
Why can't Dr. Nate and Dr. Elena make a clean break with each other. She's so wishy-washy. Nate should move on with someone new. He was getting chummy with Lola Rosales. However, Lola has gone to Miami for a while. She will be back and we will see what happens then.
