February 19th - Carmen's Killer WILL be revealed.

Set your DVR's, Tivo, or VCR - whatever you need to tape this episode if you are not available to watch it live. Because on Monday, February 19th, CBS.com has said that Carmen's Killer will be revealed.

Here is the official list of suspects. The killer is on this list!

Drucilla

Neil

Devon

Daniel

David Chow

Ji Min

Michael

Kevin

Jana

Brad

Jack

Cane

Personally, I think it is Jana or Ji Min. Neither of them have contracts with Y & R.

Stay tuned!

Ashley is Back...

Oh, yes.

The Eileen Davidson as Ashley is back.

But...

She will not be on the Young and the Restless. They are taking her to Los Angeles with the Forresters over at The Bold and the Beautiful. Kudo's to the Bell family for making a wise choice.

We have seen Lauren cross over, Sheila, Erica ,and we even have the tramp Amber (yawn - just don't like that girl!!!) - so it is a great decision.

Look for the character of Ashley Abbott to start on The Bold and the Beautiful later this month.

Disappointing Exit.

I think that Eileen Davidson as Ashley deserved a little more than the departure she played out. She was a main character and one of the core family members of the show.

I was saddened to hear of her departure, but even more sad at the disappointing exit she was written.

No fanfare?

No party?

Nothing?

Just quick good-byes. Done.

I hope someday they bring Eileen back. She is an amazing actress with stellar performances.

I will miss her.

Adrienne & Adrian.

Sorry - but I do not like Adrienne's character of Amber one bit. Didn't she have a child on the B & B? Is anyone taking care of said child?

And I am totally sick of very strange professor Adrian Korbel. Something is definitely up with this guy.

Enough of these two already.

Who's decision was it to hire Adrienne Frantz and bring the crossover character to the Y & R anyway??? I was excited at first, but her character is just so annoying!

Eileen Davidson FIRED!

In a stunning move, the Y & R powers that be, have released Eileen Davidson who plays the character of Ashley Abbott, or Carlton (who knows?) from her contract.

I am saddened and in shock.

Eileen originated the role of Ashley Abbott in 1982.

What are they thinking? Can't they come up with a storyline for the talented Ms. Davidson?

Baby Billy.

I really hate to rag on people - my Y & R characters.

But does anyone care about Billy? And his problems?

I do not care for this new Billy, and the writers that be are tyring to throw him into a huge storyline.

I don't get it.

I don't like it.

At least Kay is seing Billy for who he really is.

Go Grandma!!!

And I really don't care!

Poor Lauren.

Lauren is being so paranoid - poor thing.

She is totally justified in being so overprotective of Fen (short for Fenmore - don't ya love it?).

Thank goodness they get to bring the little baby home today.

I do still think that Sheila making herself to look like Phyllis will still come into play somewhere. Amber (from B&B) is making a crossover, and I think... can't be sure, think that she is Sheila's daughter or somehow related to her???

Let me know what you think.

Crazy, Crazy, Carmen!

So - who else thinks that Carmen Mesta is gonna turn all crazy and provoke Dru into doing something. Doing something to make it look like Dru attacks Carmen.

Gosh - I think I see the writing on the wall. Carmen is going to soon end up dead. And Dru will be framed from her own actions. But Dru will not be the murderer. We will suspect Devon - and maybe Dru will try and cover for him. Or it is someone from Carmen's past. Notice how they started to divulge into Carmen's past - and then suddenly stopped. I think she is running from something.

Or - Or - Or - she is going to go all Fatal Attraction on Dru & Neil and wind up dead.

Didn't I read that she is off the show soon? Did I report it here?

Well, these are only my predictions. No actual spoilers - just my opinions from watching this soap way too much!

I am anxious to see what actually happens!

All I know is that Tammy Lauren has been hired to play the role of detective (where is Det. Webber?) - so someone is getting killed off!

New Lily -OUT - Old Lily - IN!

In a surprising switch-a-roo, Y & R has let go Davetta Sherwood, and has rehired Christel Khalil as Lily.

Ooh - I was shocked. I think that Davetta has finally made Lily her own. I wasn't too fond of how different she was than Christel's Lily when she first came on the scene - but I like how she plays her now.

I guess we will have to see what direction Christel takes Lily back to. It is rumored that she has a major storyline coming up.

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.
