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.
So, the ultimate daddy's girl, Victoria Newman, has joined forces with Christine Blair Romalotti (aka The Cricketmeister). Victoria is taking advantage of Cricket's new position as the district attorney. She knows that Cricket and Phyllis are enemies. Still, Phyllis is not going to give up easily. She is going to fight tooth and nail, even though Summers Conglomerate will probably not last long.
Victoria is Victor's strongest advocate. She will do almost anything to please her daddy. She didn't hesitate to dig for dirt on Phyllis. All she wants is Victor's approval, even though he's ruined her marriages and relationships. No wonder Nate is hesitant about getting involved with her again.
Patty Williams continues to cause havoc. She had confrontations with both Diane and Phyllis. Then she paid a visit to Victor in order to collect the money he paid her for taking advantage of foolish Jack Abbott. The Big Man handed her a big bag of cash for seducing Jack and damaging his marriage to Diane.
Jack is a fool. He should not be rushing Diane to forgive him and he shouldn't be showering her with gifts. She needs time and space, which he doesn't seem willing to give her. Trying to make Diane jealous of him and Nikki is a terrible idea. It will definitely backfire. It will only create more of a rift between Jack and Diane. How can Jack be so stupid? I'll tell you why. It's a soap and there needs to be conflict for a storyline. That's why.
Nick Newman was in no condition to drive a car as he was under the influence of fentanyl. Why did Adam even allow him to risk both of their lives by getting behind the wheel. Y&R should have stressed the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs. Meanwhile, Sharon and Noah fell into Matt Clark's trap. I must say that Roger Howarth, who plays Matt, is doing a great job of playing a villain.
Nick collapsed while trying to save Noah and Sharon at the abandoned gas station in the desert. According to an online spoiler, Matt placed contaminated drugs in one of the bags in the storage room. Expect Nick to be fighting for his life, with Sharon at his bedside. As for Matt, he will escape for now, so that he will continue to torment the Newman family.
There is a growing rift between Abby and Devon. Devon is behaving like a jerk where Mariah is concerned. There really is no point in putting Mariah in prison. Devon's behaviour doesn't make sense, but the writers seem to want Abby and Devon to be at odds right now. However, Devon is correct about one thing, which he mentioned prematurely. He questioned Cane's motive for assisting Malcolm. Lily does not want to think about Cane's motives right now. She is just relieved that her ex is a match for a bone marrow transplant with Malcolm. Lily's main concern is saving Malcolm's life, and rightly so. Nevertheless, I don't think Cane volunteered out of the goodness of his heart. He did it to win favour with Lily. If Lily hadn't been involved, Cane wouldn't have considered volunteering.
As for Y&R, I can't stand Stephanie. The show is going downhill. Will Noah dump Sienna for Audra? I don't think so. We are going to go through rehab with Nick, which I'm not looking forward to. The Moustache will win again.
Well Carly, Stephanie doesn't bother me, and I don't think the show is going downhill. There is much room for improvement, but I enjoy watching. Noah might end up back with Audra. She is certainly going to try and win him back. Will he be able to resist her romantic oveachures? I'm not looking forward to Nick's rehab either. The Moustache will win in the end, but Phyllis is giving him a battle. I'm not a fan of Phyllis, but I can't stand the smirk on Victor's face. Have you noticed that he's been smirking a lot lately?
