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.
Let's begin with the Y&R 's romantic overtures for Valentine's Day. Well, Billy's attempts to impress Sally Spectra fell flat. However, given that Billy has teamed up with Phyllis in order to throw Cane under the bus, I didn't expect Sally to be amused. Billy and Phyllis will never learn. They are a lethal combination, but maybe they deserve each other. Billy's relationship with Sally is doomed.
Adam and Chelsea shared a romantic Valentine's dinner, even though Adam was somewhat districted by the Newman troubles. Jack managed to calm Diane's anger over his closeness with Nikki, and they celebrated together. However, Jack is playing with fire. Diane may not be able to take much more of his "friendship" with Nikki. Meanwhile, Noah followed Sienna to Los Angeles, declared his love for her, and convinced her to return to Genoa City with him.
Audra found Kyle drinking alone at a bar on Valentine's Day. They couldn't resist throwing a few barbs at each other. Of course, Audra was quick to inform him that Claire had gone to L.A. with Holden. Kyle pointed out that her past in L.A. with would be exposed. Then the two began to kiss until Kyle pulled away. Audra was left with an amused look on her face, as if she were still able to put Kyle under her spell. Will he eventually weaken, especially since he seems to have lost Claire?
I'm pleased that Detective Burrow has joined the GC Police Department, but will the writers please give him a first name. If that doesn't happen soon, I suggest that CBS runs a contest for fans to come up with a name for him. Years ago, fans picked a last name for Esther. They decided to call her Esther Valentine.
I'm also pleased that Victoria caught Phyllis and Billy Boy's conspiring. However, I am not pleased that she vowed to turn Billy's children against him. Children should not be used as pawns when their parents are battling.
Now that Mariah's kidnapping of Dominic is over, let's not have anymore kidnappings for a while. I must say that I was impressed by the acting of Ethan Ray Clark, the young boy who plays Dominic.
Three-time Daytime Emmy nominee Stacy Haiduk is returning to her role as Patty Williams after an absence of ten years. Patty's return to Genoa City will stir the pot because she is dangerous, unstable and unpredictable. Her brother, Paul Williams, is not around as Doug Davidson has left the show and his Paul character is living in Portugal. Remember how Paul used to call her "Paddy Cakes."
Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL
 |
| Matt Cohen (Detective Burrow) |
 |
| Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) |
Now that Detective Burrow is back on the scene, there has been online speculation that he will become romantically involved with Sharon. Given that Sharon has a history of relationships with cops, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Just look at her history with Dylan McAvoy, Rey Rosales and Chance Chancellor.
For a long while, Sharon has dealt with one trauma after another - kidnappings, mental illness, the return of Matt Clark. Now she's blaming herself for Mariah's meltdown. Sharon deserves a break from all that. Some fans would like her to reunite with Nick Newman. However, Nick is very distracted and filled with anger. He's also becoming addicted to prescription medication. Nick seems to want to rescue Sharon rather than romance her. I think he will eventually have competition from Burrow, which may cause him to be very jealous.
What do you think, fans? Do you like the idea of a romance between Detective Burrow and Sharon? I'd be pleased if she could get through one episode without crying. Respond to the poll below and let me know.
That's all for now. Today is Valentine's Day. I hope you have a good one. Don't forget that the next edition of Y&R Report will appear in this space on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Take care,
Joanne
