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,
Will wonders never cease? It appears that Jordan has used up all of her nine lives. Colleen Zenk, who plays Jordan, has exited the show as her character's story arc has reached its conclusion. Not-so-sweet Claire actually put some poison in Jordan's tea, which she willingly consumed rather than return to prison. Of course, the Jordan/Ian Ward storyline has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. However, Y&R is a soap and we can't expect reality. But really! Claire truly believed that Jordan was invincible. She thought that no prison could hold her diabolical aunt, and that no security force could stop her.
Jordan was certainly relentless and psychotic, but she was not Superwoman. Claire made it seem like her aunt had superhuman powers. As mentioned before, soap operas often stray far from reality. This is a perfect example. Here's one other question I'm not supposed to ask: Why didn't the authorities know that Jordan was missing from prison? Ian supposedly swapped another woman in her place. Surely, the prison would have discovered the switch after all this time. Why didn't Jordan's photo appear everywhere on the media?
By the way, what happened to Claire? She's all over the map. She suddenly became so bold that she talked about committing cold-blooded murder without batting an eye. She suddenly became so brazen that she believed she could outwit her cunning aunt. Her face was as cold as stone when she argued that taking the law into her own hands was the only answer. Nikki also jumped on the vigilante bandwagon as the only way to stop Jordan. Victoria was more reluctant, but she eventually fell into line.
It seems obvious that Claire (Haley Erin) was far too overconfident. She overplayed her hand, and she was ill-prepared for what she planned to do. She even admitted to Victor that she hadn't thought of what should be done with Jordan's body. Jordan will continue to haunt Claire and the rest of the Newman family even in death. When Victoria claimed that they were rid of the wicked woman forever, Victor knew better. He warned his family that this wasn't over, and there was more to come. Victor was exactly right.
Whew! Sharon has escaped from the clutches of Ian and Jordan, but she was once again a damsel in distress, trapped in a sewer and drugged. Nick did not physically help her, but he was still her knight in shining armour. She had an image of him in her mind and he encouraged her to find the strength to carry on. Still, Sharon is not home free yet. Before her death, Jordan claimed that Ian killed Heather, but Chance will demand proof.
By the way, not only is Jordan gone, but Sharon has said a final goodbye to the ghost of Cameron. They actually parted on good terms. I wonder what will happen to Cameron's blood-stained shirt now.
Jordan may be gone, but Ian Ward is still lurking in the shadows. In the previews, we saw him pointing a gun at Nick, Victor and Michael Baldwin. According to online spoilers, Victor will vow to take on Ward at all costs, and Michel Baldwin will agree to a dangerous assignment. Why does Michael always have to do Victor's bidding, even if it puts his own life at risk? He's such a lackey.
Billy Boy Abbott seems to have finally smartened up. He's in a much better frame of mind. He's decided to abandon his plan of revenge against Victor Newman, much to the relief of his brother Jack. He also has spiffy new digs. Sally Spectra decorated the place for him. I still don't care much for Sally and Billy together. I can't see any magic there.
Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL

| Haley Erin (Claire Newman) |
Claire! Claire! What have you done? You are going to be in deep trouble. Chance has already started asking questions about Jordan's death. Victor lied to protect Claire, Nikki, Victoria and himself. He didn't tell Chance the whole story. He just said that Jordan poisoned herself. Of course, he didn't mention Claire's involvement.
That's all for now. Please remember that the next edition of Y&R Report will appear in this space on Saturday, February 8, 2025.
Take care,
Joanne
