Y&R Report (October 19, 2024): The Latest on The Young and the Restless

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, 

Well, Daniel is being framed for Heather's death, all because Chance is a terrible cop.  Phyllis is more astute.  She smells a rat where Sharon is concerned.  She even told Daniel and Summer that Daniel is being framed. and that she suspects Sharon is the guilty party.  However, Phyllis failed to fully convince her son.  He has doubts that Sharon was able to place Heather's cell phone and the bloody towel in his apartment.  Nevertheless, the idea that Sharon could be responsible has penetrated Daniel's brain, thanks to his mother.

Naturally, Chance is intent on focusing on Daniel, making Daniel the prime suspect.  It seems inevitable that he will be arrested.  The truth about Sharon will come out, of course, but Daniel's arrest and jailing will have serous implications.  Summer and Daniel are very close, and she won't accept her brother being falsely arrested and incarcerated.  She'll probably break up with Chance over it.

There could also be consequences for Lucy.  She has just lost her mother and she could spin out of her control if her father is imprisoned.  She could be driven to drink.

Victor Newman is becoming meaner and more ruthless by the hour.  His goal is to completely destroy Jack Abbott and Jabot.  He is determined to make Jack pay for that night he sacrificed his own sobriety for Nikki's sake.  Victor is really enjoying the rift between Jack and Diane.  He could barely stop himself from smiling when the couple were arguing in public.

What is going on with Michael Baldwin?  Why is he so eager to please Victor Newman?  Why is he so desperate to be in Victor's good graces?  He has become a spineless lackey.  The writers have done a disservice to the character of Michael.  Michael is a talented and confident lawyer.  He doesn't need Victor's support.  He doesn't need to be involved in Victor's wicked schemes.

Is there a worse, spoiled rich boy than Kyle Abbott.?  Like everyone who works for Victor, Kyle will get thrown under the bus.  Audra has already been  thrown under the bus and Michael is being very foolish for assisting The Big Man.  Lily has just learned how cruel Victor can be, how he uses people for his own purposes.  Claire hasn't seen that side of Victor yet, but she has been warned by Jack.  She will be shocked when she actually witnesses that side of her grandfather.  She has only seen how protective he is of his family.  She doesn't realize how controlling and vindictive he is.

I enjoyed the special episode devoted to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford).  It marled 30 years since Michelle debut as Phyllis.  The flashbacks were great and so were the reactions of Daniel. Summer and Lucy when the redhead revealed secrets of her past to them.  It was lighthearted at a time when Y&R needs some humour as a relief from all the tension.

Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL


Courtney Hope (Sally}


Jason Thompson (Billy)

Are Billy Abbott and Sally Spectra headed for romance, or was it just the alcohol?  They hooked up after drowning their sorrows at a bar.  They are becoming closer, and Billy has asked Sally to help him decorate his new place.  The two are both vulnerable and I can see them falling for each other.  Sally no longer trusts Adam.  She's had enough of him.  As for Billy Boy, he still loves Chelsea, but can't get over the fact that she cheated on him with his archenemy Adam Newman.  Billy's under attack from all sides.  Victor is ready to swoop down like a vulture and take over Abbott Chancellor.  His mother, Jill, is pressuring him to rehire Lilly and dump Phyllis, or she will remove him from his CEO position.  Billy truly needs someone to lean on for support, someone like Sally.  

It would certainly drive Adam crazy to see Billy and Sally together.  It would also upset Chelsea, who will probably give up on Billy and turn to Adam.  So, what do you think fans?  Will Billy and Sally get together and will they make a good couple?  Respond to the poll below and let me know.

Do you like Billy and Sally together?
