The Young and The Restless .. Take 4 .. Spoilers Welcome!

[HonnyDipp]

Nikki's Back!:Nikki comes back (November 23 as MTS tweeted). She is going to be involved with Diane's murder investigation. It will be questioned where Nikki was at the time she disappeared from rehab the night of the murder. It says there is a "sinister force in town who has been pulling strings off camera" and a lot of that has to focus on Nikki. (I guess this mean Patti tries pinning the murder on Nikki next). Hamner says Nikki will be right in the center of the firestorm in the coming months.

Sharon: Sharon is FINALLY cleared of Skye's murder. Hamner says they are going to maximize the romantic bonds Sharon has formed with the men she simply can't give up on (Nick, Adam and Sam are mentioned).

Love Quadrangle: There will be a quad with Nick/Avery/Phyllis/Ronan. They say Avery is similar to Phyllis but more contained which Nick finds very attractive. Phyllis & Ronan get busy next week.

Billy & Cane: Billy & Cane form an unusual alliance. Cane is going to relate to Billy bc they both love their family and Billy wants Delia back in his life. Billy will gain insight into why Cane had to keep secrets from his family. There will be changes & growth in the way these two relate to each other.

I've heard about Y & R for years, but never watched.

I'm home today with a yucky bug and tuned in and I may be hooked!

I recognize lots of people from GH that I used to love and its fun seeing them here!

So.... would anyone be willing to give me a brief summary, of the basics to know?

(waiting for the laughter to subside.... )

Well, I really would appreciate anything.

I'll also start reading here

I've watched this show since the very first episode - back in the 60's.. How much time do you have? LOL..

I'll bet if you did an online search you could find a synopsis from day one..

 

[Kurby]

Thank you!! A great start!

Why YR hell?

And how about storylines, like any need-to-know history?

Just that some of us smash our heads against a wall in here with some of the storylines

Me also I started the first week it was on....

You can also go to YouTube and watch back.....there are lots of people that have come and gone but if you just start watching you will catch on...it does not move very fast.

THANKS all! This may sound really weird, but I'm really excited about watching this soap! I was a GH fan for years, still am if home but its crazy busy after school during the year. So the timing of Y & R might just make it my guilty pleasure mid-day break!

Mafibisha, here are a few things to know when watching Y & R. Some of it is really good, but some of it will make you want to scream! They do tend to drag story lines on too long though as if they just couldn't think of anything else to fill the time. One common thread is that no matter who's brother is married to "her", she's ok to be with.

Also, you will need to understand SORAS--when a child is born, it won't be little long, then when it is two (after about six months our time), they go to boarding school and six months later, they come back as 17 year olds.

There are family groups even if they have different last names on the show that always interact and marry over and over again.

The Newmans--Victor, Nikki, Nick, Victoria, Abby, Adam, Noah, Faith, Summer, Reed

The Abbotts--John (as a ghost now), Jack, Ashley, Tracy, Billy, Abby (also listed as Newman-child of Victor and Ashley), Kyle, Keemo

The Chancellors--Kay, Jill, Tucker, Devon, Billy (also listed as Abbott-grown child of John and Jill), Cane (almost), Chance, Phillip, Ronan

The Winters--Neil, Malcolm, Lily, Devon (adopted by Neil but really father by Tucker- he found out last week), Sophia and her new baby, Lily's twins by Cane

The Williams--Paul, Patty, Heather (not for much longer!!), Ricky

There are many more, but that's just a sampling so you get some idea of who is related to who.

 

[Tinker Bell Fan]

Thank you for the "who's who" - sometimes it's a little hard keeping track!

I started watching a few years back and got hooked - now it is the only soap I watch and keep up with.

So glad Heather is gone! I liked her on All My Children but not on Y&R.

Chance and Ronan show up to arrest Colin. Genevieve and Gloria learn that he ordered a hit for both of them, they confront him. Colin has lost diplomatic immunity, will go to jail for a long time!
Lily learns that Cane has been working for a long time to bring down Colin, that this was a huge investigation. Lily apologizes for not trusting Cane and decides she wants him back
Ashley and Tucker want to have a real wedding in front of family and friends, Ashley asks Abby to be her maid of honor. Abby is honored, she realizes Tucker's not a total jerk*and accepts
Everyone meets at the warehouse, Jack gets suspicious and realizes that Ronan may not be behind this after all. A film projector is played regarding Diane. Meanwhile we see "Myrna" at the hospital with Patty's tattoo!

Next - Adam also gets a text but it looks like he is asked to meet at another location ; Victor asks Adam what trouble he got himself into this time ; The film projector still plays for the murder suspects

I'm sad that Geoffrey is gone. I was loving Kin Shriner in the role and so hoped he'd become a regular.

Oh well.

You know, Lily seems to be a really nice girl, IRL and while in character, but SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY..... HOW STUPID IS SHE?

OMG! I said the exact same thing! Se reminded me of my kids when I would tell them to let the cookies cool before they eat them. That situation always ended with burned fingers and cookie crumbs on the floor! Lily is a total idiot! Cane told her to stay away, it wasn't safe. But she went anyway. I swear that girl has no common sense! I think even if Cane told her what he was doing with Ronan she still would have gotten involved!

 

["Got Disney"]

Lily reminds me of when ya pull the peddles off a flower...

I want him back...I don't want him back..I want him back...I don't want him back....UGH already!

I felt sorry for Goria....she really loved that looser....not only did he leave her but took all her money in the bank for the business...I wonder if he had to leave and disappear because of his working with the mob?

I'm so aggravated! I went home today for lunch so I could see Y & R. I was so excited because I haven't been able to do that in a while but then... the unthinkable happened.... a press conference!! Now, it didn't bother me that he was telling that the troops were coming home. I'm thankful for that for their families. It aggravated me because the news people knew this all day. He didn't just decide that 10 minutes before. This was calculated to happen at that time.... right when I was home to see Y & R!!! Why not do it at 10 am this morning???
