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, Matt Clark is still alive. Sienna didn't kill him. Why am I not surprised? He has to stay around to cause more trouble for the Newman family. The twist is that Clark is suffering from amnesia after the blow to his head from Sienna. Matt's scene at the Athletic Club bar with Phyllis was enjoyable. Then, after running away from Noah, who should Matt run into but Patty Williams. Those two make quite a pair. The looks they gave each other were priceless. What a combination!
Nick Newman recovered rather quickly form his addiction, or did he? Not so fast! Despite confessing his addiction to Nikki and Victoria, he pulled another pill from his pocket. Will he swallow it? At any rate, it was good to see Nick humbled for a change when he admitted his mistake to his family. But the guy has serious problems. Before Phyllis took over Newman Enterprises, Nick seldom appeared at the office. He was too busy being Sharon's knight in shining armour and venting his rage at Matt Clark. In addition to rehab for his pill addiction, Nick needs anger management therapy.
Why did Cricket have to look so self-righteous when Phyllis and Cain were arrested? She claims she is a professional and that she won't allow her animosity toward Phyllis affect her performance as district attorney. I think it already has. She doesn't seem neutral to me. Why has she accepted the e-mail evidence against Phyllis so easily? Why isn't she checking out Victor's actions more?
Phyllis and Cricket had quite a confrontation, witnessed by Michael and Lauren. Phyllis couldn't help herself. She ripped into Cricket about being Victor's puppet and threatened to expose her to every media outlet. Cricket declared that she'd win a defamation suit against the redhead.
Although Phyllis has behaved abysmally, I am so disgusted with Victor and his princess daughter that I am on her side this time. I know Victor will take over again eventually, but it's great that Phyllis is making him squirm.
Get ready for an epic court battle between the Cricketmeister and Michael Baldwin. It should be fun.
It seems as if there's going to be trouble ahead for Adam and Chelsea. Adam was affected by his stint as Spyder in Las Vegas. He admitted to Chelsea that he was still attracted to that lifestyle. Also, Adam does not like Chelsea's sympathy for Billy, while Chelsea does not think he deserves to be thrown under the bus.
There's been a shakeup behind the scenes at The Young and the Restless. Josh Griffith is stepping down as executive prodTucer of the show in order to concentrate solely on his head-writing duties. Meanwhile, Sally McDonald, who has been co-producer since 2025, will remain as the show's only executive producer. Will this mean an improvement in the show's writing? Fans can only hope so.
