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,
This is my last post before I take a summer break. So, I will leave you with some thoughts until I return in September.
As I prepare for my summer break, the identity of Aristotle Dumas has yet to be revealed. The most prominent residents of Genoa City are on their way to Dumas' chateau in Nice, France. It should be quite an extravaganza. I expect some twist and turns and maybe even a murder mystery.
It appears that Y&R is finally going to reveal Dumas' identity this coming week. According to an online spoiler, "Aristotle Dumas reveals himself to his guests and "Amanda's real connection to him is exposed" on Friday. June 20th on CBS (Thursday June 19th on Global TV). Viewers have waited long enough. You can only tease audiences for so long. Fans would lose interest if they had to wait any longer. Unfortunately, there has been so much anticipation surrounding this Dumas mystery that it's going to be difficult for the show to live up to all the hype.
So, who is the elusive Aristotle Dumas? One person we can eliminate is Tucker McCall. Victor Newman told Chelsea that Tucker is in prison in India. Chelsea tried to persuade Victor to stop his campaign against Billy Abbott. She offered to reveal Dumas' identity if the Black Knight agreed to leave Billy Boy alone. She told him that Dumas is Tucker McCall. The Big Man called her bluff.
Billy Flynn (ex-Chad, Days of our Lives) will be making his debut on Y&R this week. Could he be Dumas? I don't think so. Fans don't even know his character yet. Why would they be excited or surprised if he turned out to be Dumas? However, I do think that Flynn's character is connected to Dumas.
I think that somehow, Jill is involved in the Dumas mystery. She may even be Dumas. We know that Amanda was Jill's lawyer and that Amada's "real connection" to Dumas will be exposed this week. Maybe Amanda has been working for Jill this whole time.
The Newman family is travelling through the south of France in a private rail car. Nick is definitely enjoying the food on the train, but are they headed for a trap when they arrive at Duma' lair? Dumas is already spying on them and watching them on a screen. Maybe a fake Dumas will eventually appear on the screen and speak to everyone, while the real Dumas will remain hidden, like the Wizard of Oz.
Danny Romalotti and Christine "Cricket" Blair are back in town after a world concert tour. The Cricketmeister was annoyed to see Phyllis, her archenemy. Phyllis was not exactly thrilled to see "The Bug" either.
What's going on with Mariah? The writers are teasing us again as we try to learn about the horrible thing that she did. The answer is being revealed in bits and pieces. Whatever it is, it is definitely related to Ian Ward. She had a flashback to a scene in a bar where she was approached by a Ward look-alike. He told her that appeared as if she could use a friend.
I've been missing summer barbeques and swimming parties on Y&R. I hope they have one this summer, maybe for July 4th.
Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL

Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) |
Victor (Eric Braeden) is being very coy about what he knows concerning Aristotle Dumas. His family is curious about whether he knows Dumas' identity. Victor hasn't given them a clear answer. One thing i for certain, though. Victor and Dumas are heading for a power struggle. It will be a clash of the titans. We all know that Victor will not tolerate anyone who challenges his dominance in the business world.
What do you think, fans? Does Victor know Dumas' identity? Respond to the poll below and let me know.
That's all for now. Have a great summer. I will be back on Saturday, September 20, 2025 with a brand new post. See in you in September with more Y&R news and comments.
