You Sneaky Thing, Jack!

So the ever gorgeous and cleaver Jack Abbott has devised a scheme to purchase back Jabot. He is using a psuedo company called Raaz Cosmetics. Give it to 'em, Jack. I love to see the good ole Jack back. (Though I hate him with Sharon!)

I am sure hoping that Glo, Kev, and Mikey don't figure it out and spill the beans.

Don't Mess with the Best!

Not brain surgery! Not on Victor Newman!!!

What makes a doctor perform brain surgery on a patient who is number 1 - not coherent or in a positive mental state, and number 2 - still reeling from side effects of medication?

While the soaps are never ever close to real, the Y & R writer are trying to bring to light a real issue in epilepsy. I just wish they would have followed through a bit more and went and waited a few days with Victor - and explained more about the pros and cons of brain surgery.

I sure hope they haven't messed with perfection!

Jack + Sharon = YUCK!

Was anyone else totally offended by the pairing of Jack & Sharon? I didn't mind the flirtatious kiss. But seeing them in bed together just made me say "ewww!".

There is an age difference, which is not that big of a deal - but it makes me sick that Jack was a father figure to Nicholas when Nick & Sharon were first together and getting married.

Yuck - double yuck - triple yuck!

Please make them stop!

There have got to be some young hotties for Sharon (maybe a cute professor that is coming to town!) - and plenty of fish in the sea for Jack. And while I do like Nick & Phyllis together, I really wish Jack would have put up a fight for Phyllis. That could have been a touching storyline.

Gloria - Gloria!

Gloria - Gloria - I think they got your number. Sing along with me!

While I am not thrilled with the character of Gloria - I absolutely love the way that Judith Chapman plays her. So overly dramatic, throwing looks around that could burn a line fire strait through ya. She plays her so that you love to hate her.

And I totally get a kick out of her clothes and over done makeup.

Do you love her or hate her?

theyoungandtherestless.com

How did I not know that this site existed? I have been to may Y & R fan sites, to Soap Central and CBS Daytime section - but never to the official site of The Young and the Restless from The Young and the Restless.

I can't believe that I never discovered it until now. Is it fairly new? Am I just a moron and never looked? Either way, I am so glad to have found it.

Aside from the most beautiful photos, the site contains an Update and Preview section, a News and Events page, a Show Guide, a look at Behind the Scenes, a Y & R Blog (yes, another Y & R blog), a Newsletter that you can sign up for , and a great Message Board section.

I suggest you head on over to check it out - and sign up for that newsletter! I just did.

Carmen Mesta - Out?

Is the character Carmen Mesta coming to an end? Or are they just recasting?

I have heard that Marisa Ramirez is no longer with Y & R, but cannot find any details about it.

I, for one, would not miss the actress - and really the character all together for that matter. She just doesn't seem to fit in very well. But... they have talked a bit about her background lately, so maybe there will be a recast.

The role of Rebecca Kaplan Will Now be Played by...

Millie Perkins, the woman who has her made her face known in a few scenes as Rebecca Kaplan - Brad's mother, is being replaced. The actress taking over the role is Lorna Raver.

Head writer Lynn Marie Latham, released a statement:

Although we were happy with Millie Perkin's performance and we respect her
work, we decided to go in a different direction for the role of Rebecca.

Lorna will begin airing September 19th.

Monday Preview.

Here is a little preview of what I have read about what will be happening on Monday:

...Dru is with her handsome date, and she gets a little more than drunk, and yet again - makes a fool of herself.
...Neil seems jealous of Dru being with another man
....Jack brings Sharon to the NVP opening and Nikki seems to wonder what is going on there
....Sharon is upset because she thinks that Nick and Phyllis are there to announce they are engaged
....Brad is worried when his mother doesn't check in with him when she was supposed to have arrived (could this be due to the fact that there is a new actress taking over the role of Brad's Mom?)
...Victor goes to make a speech at the gala and starts seeing things. He thinks everyone is laughing at him. He leaves to go home only to start hearing and seeing more things - he is going a bit crazy, folks.

Where were you Friday?

Okie dokie - where was The Young and the Restless on Friday? I mean, I Tivo it daily, and nothing showed up. In checking around other sites, it did not air. And on a Friday, no less - UGH!

Now on Monday, the NVP opening gala will be going on.
