I called that one MONTHS ago!!

So I had hope that Ronan and Chance fake Chance's death, and he really doesn't die (just goes away and comes back with a brain). But reading that bit about Heather calling Owen makes me think she screws it up and Chance does die. I cannot stand nuHeather either, and they are making her so stupid!

Mac was actually starting to grow on me a little, but I won't miss her. I will JT-his old personality, not the holier than now moron he has become. I wonder if that causes stress with Victoria-firing her husband but keeping her.

I think the actor that is playing Noah is younger than the old Noah-just looks older.

In an attempt to mend the rift between Victor and Victoria on Y&R, Nikki pushes Vic to reach out to their daughter. However, he believes that his tough-love approach is the only way to get Victoria to see that her romance with Billy Abbott is a huge mistake. After more nudging from Nikki, Victor finally agrees to at least pay Victoria a visit.

Victor and Nikki arrive at the house that Victoria and Billy have recently purchased together, but the testy tycoon immediately notices a small jewelry gift box and realizes that these two crazy kids are engaged. Victor goes ballistic. "You can say that; at the very least he has an issue with their engagement," chuckles Billy Miller (Billy). "There's nothing Billy can do at this point to smooth things over. But he hasn't really done anything wrong, except for being an Abbott. He can understand why Victor would have his reservations, but Billy hasn't yet proven to be the heel that Victor says he is."

During her father's meltdown, Victoria remains strangely serene. "She's so in love with Billy and happy that she doesn't care anyore what her father thinks," smiles Amelia Heinle (Victoria). "Billy has made her not care at all, even a little bit, about what her family thinks about their relatinosihp. She is having so much fun with him. Everybody goes through that period when they rebellious, but sometimes it happens later in life and not when they're a teenager."

Still, Victoria gets a little riled when Pops claims that Billy is only marrying her to stick it to the Newmans. That remarks goads Billy into taking action. "He says, 'You know what? We'll just get married right away!'" smiles Miller. "So Billy asks Victoria to marry him tomorrow and she says okay."

Adds Heinle, "Billy is the ony person who can make her totally throw caution to the wind. It's freeing for her and she's enjoying every minute of it."

As expected, Victor is peeved. "He just keep getting more and more angry," sighs Heinle. "Not many people defy Victor Newman, but Billy is one person who does that and he's giving Victoria the strength to do it, as well. She kind of feeds off that. She feels like her father has controlled her a lot of her life and the way she has behaved. She lost JT because she was trying to make her father happy, but now she has a newfound freedom because of Billy. They're going to do this no matter what he thinks."

But the wedding plans hit a big snag. Explains Heinle, "They're trying to rub it in Victor's face to show that they're serious about getting married, but right in front of him, they see that they have to actually wait five days for the wedding license."

Leave it to Billy to come up with Plan B. "He asks Victoria to go to Las Vegas," grins Miller. "They would rather get married in Genoa City, but you know, there's always Las Vegas and that just pizzes Victor off."

Nikki tries to play peacemaker, but Victor storms away. Billy and Victoria then go forward with their travel arrangements. "Victoria is on the phone trying to plan the wedding, and her mom tries to convince her to stay in town," says Heinle. "Nikki is on Victoria's side, so that's sweet. She's always in Victoria's corner. Nick usually is, too, but not this time. He doesn't like Billy. Nobody likes Billy!"

Meanwhile, Victor informs Ashley and Jack of Billy and Victoria's news and Jack is no more pleased about the upcoming nups than his archenemy. Victor promises that he will stop the wedding, but just as the elopement to Vegas is shaping up, Nikki makes a surprising announcement. "She's friends with the judge, who does a favor for Nikki and waives the waiting period for the marriage license so Billy and Victoria can get married the next day like they planned," Heinle shares.

Billy and Victoria decide on a traditional ceremony. "She wants a real wedding with their friends and family because you're standing up in front of everybody and saying, 'I want to be with this person,'" notes Miller.

The couple opts for an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn of their new home, so the rush is on to throw together a festive event in less than 24 hours. When Nikki mentions to Victor that she is helping Victoria with the wedding, he makes a mysterious phone call. In the meantime, the bride has lots of decisions to make. "Ast the coffeehouse," says Heinle, "She runs into Jana and Daniel. Victoria is all stressed out and says she needs a photographer and Daniel goes, 'I can be your photographer.' Then she says she needs a bridesmaid and asks, 'Can you do it, Jana?' Jana says yes and Billy asks Rafe to be his best man."

On the big day, the guests gather in Billy and Victoria's quaint front yard. As expected, Victor is a no-show, so the ride prepares to meet her groom solo. "She's getting ready to walk down the aisle by herself and Nick suddenly steps up next to her," smiles Heinle. "It's a very nice moment, but it's also funny because you can tell by the looks on everyone's faces that they're not happy about this."

Victoria joins Billy on the front porch and the vows begin. "The ceremony is simple and sweet," says Heinle. "However, something happens to disrupt everything ..."

Thanks, Victor!


Dress to Impress

Since Victoria is a big fan of classic television, like the sitcom Father Knows Best , the writers decided that her wedding dress should be in the style of the 1950s. "In the script, they reference the gown that Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie Funny Face ," says Y&R Costume Designer Jenifer Johns. "So we made, from the ground up, a copy of that dress."

The gown took two weeks for the wardrobe department to create. "It's a classic, '50s silhouette," Johns explains. "It's got a tight bodice and a slightly dropped waist with a big, full skirt and thehem is a little below the knees. It has very clean, simple lines with the boat neck and is sleeveless. The whole dress is white satin with a lot of tulle overlay on the skirt so it looks like somehitng a ballerina would wear. But the thing that's really distinctive about it is that there is an attached veil that looks a little bit like a hood with a little bow. It's a very iconic dress. Amelia's a knockout in it."


Flipping Out

For Billy and Victoria's outdoor wedding, Y&R's cast and crew traveled to another studio lot to use an exterior set that looks like a neighborhood street in Suburbia, USA. "It was actually the same place where Bill and Katie had their wedding on Bold and Beautiful ," reveals Heinle. As expected, the remote made for a lo-o-ong day. "We started really early and it went pretty late," says Miller. "I think I had one scene off, but it went really cool, even though there was a lot of pressure to get that show done in one day. But it beats the heck out of hauling hay. If you're making a living doing this, you're pretty lucky, so shut up and just do what they ask you to do."

How did everyone keep the engery level up? "Prozac and alcohol," laughs Miller. "Actually, we're a pretty lively group. We have a lot of fun, but when it got to the end of the day, it was like herding cats; we got a little anxious. It was like watching a group of adults act like kids at the monkey bars. There were pranks being played." Such as...? "There was this evil person who was fipping over everybody's furniture in their dressing rooms," Miller tattles. "That would have been actually funny to me if I'd had any time to spend in my dressing room. So there was this whodunit going on for a while and it turned out to be Josh Morrow [Nick]. I don't knwo what made him confess, but there was this tickling thing going on that may have had something to do with it."

I think that Chance will die while saving Ronan's life. Horrible Heather(henforce known as HH) will tell the DA. The DA will try to take Ronan out because he is FBI. Chance will knock Ronan out of the way and take the bullet aimed for him.

Ronan will take down the drug ring and thankfully be able to lose the stupid undercover name of Ronan

I just read on the soapcentral boards that Paul Leydon (Simon from ATWT) has joined the cast as Blake. He's Australian, so I'm assuming he's part of the Cane storyline. I still think they are making a mistake bringing in so many new people, even though Paul is yummy......

 

[HonnyDipp]

It's possible that Ronan helps Chance fake his death and places him in the witness protection program!

It's possible that Ronan helps Chance fake his death and places him in the witness protection program!

So maybe it isn't just wishful thinking......

I'm just tired of legacy characters being killed. I remember when Chance was Phillip, and he was played by the little boy that was in the Little Rascals movie-the one who didn't talk much until the end and then had the huge vocabulary. He was so cute, with Ryan and Nina raising him.

Which reminds me.....Victoria was with Ryan back then, when Chance was a kid. Billy is supposed to be younger than Chance.........
