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.
Wow! So now we know Holden's background. It turns out that he's Malcolm's biological son and Lily's half-brother. Not only that, but Malcolm has a blood disease and needs a bone marrow transplant to save his life. How will this impact the storyline? Will Lily and Holden regard each other differently? Now that he is a member of the Winters family, will he be given a position in their company? How will Nate and Devon feel about Holden being part of the family?
Of course, Holden is upset with his mother for not telling him the truth for so long. He is shocked to suddenly meet a stranger who is is biological father. It's a lot for Holden to process. Audra could see that he was troubled, but he refused to confide in her. Instead, he opened up to Claire. Nosy Audra eavesdropped on him and Claire. Now she knows what's upsetting Holden. It will be very interesting to see what she does with that information.
It's good to see that Daytime Emmy winner Shemar Moore back on Y&R as Malcom Winters, along with Vivica A. Fox as Dr. Stephanie Simmons. The two have returned for a multi-episode storyline. Back in 1984, Malcolm and Stephanie had a short-term romance after being set up by his sister-in-law Olivia. Stephanie and Olivia were medical colleagues. It was fun to see that old flashback of Stephanie and Malcolm in the 1980s.
I think Malcolm's life will be saved, although Lily and Holden have been eliminated as doners. Maybe it will turn out that Holden is a match or that either Mattie or Charlie is a match.
Chelsea's instincts were right on the money. Things are not going well for Nick and Adam in Las Angeles. The Newman brothers are both playing with fire. A drug-addicted Nick has come face to face with Matt Clark, his worst enemy. The wild card is Riza. What part will she play in all of this? How loyal is she to Matt? How far will Adam go with her? Will he be able to control his Spyder alter-ego? What will Chelsea find when she arrives in Las Vegas? As for Nick, I don't think I've ever seen him in worse condition. I am not surprised that Matt plans to use Nick's addiction to destroy him. Matt really enjoys having control of a Newman. He's going to make Nick beg for his fix.
A portrait of Phyllis now hangs on the wall of Victor's former office. I had to smile when I saw it. However, I don't think it will be there for much longer. That infernal picture will be returned to its place eventually. Victoria's portrait didn't last very long either.
My my my! Sienna seems worried about Noah and Audra together. When she saw them reminiscing about their past, she entered the scene and made a show of being lovey-dovey with Noah. Given Noah's record with women and his lack of loyalty, I'd say Sienna has reason to worry.

Is Camryn Grimes (Mariah) leaving Y&R?
Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) has paid a huge price for ousting Newman Enterprises from Victor. Her children, Summer and Daniel, have turned their back on her. I'm tired of her constant complaints about how everyone in town treats her. No wonder she doesn't have a friend in the world except for Lauren. Yet, she steadfastly refuses to give up Newman Enterprises. Phyllis, of course, is no angel, but Victor is far worse. I don't think the fiery redhead will have control of Newman Enterprises indefinitely, but I hope she makes Victor sweat for a while. What do you think, fans? Respond to the poll below and let me know.
Take care,
Joanne
