Monday, May 12 2008
An angry and disappointed Adrian lashes out! The Newman children hear an announcement that stuns them. David sinks deeper into trouble.


At the Art Gallery, a stunned Sabrina accepts Victor's proposal of marriage! As he places the gorgeous engagement ring on her finger, they both admire it. She tells him that the ring is perfect. He says he knew the first time he looked at her that she was special. She worries about his children's reaction. He then informs her that they are celebrating and will make their announcement proudly together to everyone!



At home, Colleen is packed and her flights are booked to leave for China that night. Adrian comes in and says it's convenient that she is going off to hide after ruining his life! Suddenly the phone rings and Adrian answers. When he hangs up, he informs Colleen that that was his agent - the book is dead! She wants to comfort him, but he strongly suggests that Colleen go to say goodbye to her friends. Colleen heads down to Crimson Lights and tells a relieved Kevin that the publisher has dropped the book. He is overjoyed, but Colleen reminds him that it's not so great for Adrian. Kevin notices that Colleen is very melancholy.



At Jabot, Victoria proposes an idea and Brad irks her by suggesting that he and Cane run with it. Nikki sides with Brad and says she has something else in mind for Victoria anyway! Meanwhile, David gets a call from his bookie that he lost big time on the bet! David is livid and throws the telephone across the room! After the meeting Jill turns up and asks Brad how it went. He fills her in and then takes a call from the bookie. He is very pleased that David lost big! Meanwhile, over at Restless Style, everyone gets a look at the new logo. Jack tells everyone that Jamie will be stopping by with further suggestions and he and Nick start to bicker about the time-line for making changes! As Nick looks for 'the book', Phyllis reminds him that Jamie has it. When he barks about it, Jack accuses him of being like Victor. Nick is truly offended! Just then, Victor calls for Nick and says he needs to see him right away - it can't wait! Nick calls his sister at Jabot and learns that she too has been summoned to the Ranch! As Vikki hangs up, Nikki asks what is going on. Victoria promises to fill her in afterward. Later, in the Jabot conference room, Nikki shows Lily a mock-up of her cover photo for Restless Style magazine. Lily is very pleased and asks to take it to show her dad! Meanwhile, at Restless Style, Jamie Whitfield has arrived and informs the staff that one way they can save the first issue is to dump that cover model Lily Winters! Phyllis asks for clarification and Jamie explains that if you look at all the top magazines they feature well-known models or celebrities! Jamie assures them it is not impossible to change the cover at this late date! Phyllis wonders where they will find a suitable replacement and Jack suddenly says he has an idea! Back over at Jabot, Colleen turns up to say goodbye to her father. They share an embrace. Out in the hallway, a jumpy David runs into Nikki. He senses something is wrong and she tells him she is wondering what is going on with Victor.



Out at the Ranch, when all his children are assembled in front of him. Victor announces that he has made a decision which affects all of them. "Sabrina and I are engaged." Victoria's face is a picture of shock! Nick asks when this happened and Victoria says it was so fast. Victor replies that he asked Sabrina this morning. Adam blurts out that it's sure a nice rock on her finger and Sabrina replies that she would have accepted a ring from a bubble gum machine! Nick offers congratulations and they all make excuses to leave quickly. Victor tells Sabrina not to be discouraged by their reactions. Outside, Nick wonders to Victoria if Sabrina is after their father's money. They agree that they hope he asks her to sign a pre-nup! Nick then asks if Nikki knows about this and Victoria says she'll have to tell her when she gets back to Jabot! Later, Adam caustically congratulates Sabrina for setting a speed record in getting that ring on her finger! He says he'll give them their space and check into a hotel. She says he's welcome to stay there, but he then blurts, "C'mon Sabrina. A lady wouldn't have accepted." She wonders how he came to be the way he is when his mother was supposedly so nice, and he quickly warns her not to go there! Later, Victor comes in and tells Sabrina he'll need to postpone their celebration, she quietly agrees.



At Jabot, Brad finds David and Nikki in the conference room and asks to speak to David alone. He gives him a deposit slip for Colleen's account and asks him to put his first payment there so she has money for China. David informs him that he can't make the payment. Brad asks if he is digging himself a deeper hole. David denies that he's gambling and assures Brad he'll make the first payment next week. Victoria comes back and stuns Nikki by telling her that Victor plans to marry Sabrina! Vikki wants to know how her mother really feels about it deep down! Later, David encounters a mixed-up Nikki. He is surprised when she suggests having a smaller wedding, and having it much sooner than August! David replies, "You have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that!"



Back at Crimson Lights, Colleen meets up with Lily, who tells her it will be difficult being away from each other for six weeks! Colleen then tells Lily about the book being killed. Lily asks if they are breaking up over it and Colleen admits that she's not sure. She also tells her friend that she didn't like the way he talked down to her through this whole thing! Lily bids Colleen goodbye and urges her not to worry about Adrian too much - he does love her. Back at home, Adrian thinks back to when Colleen agreed to help him write the book. Just then, the phone rings and Adrian's agent informs him that no other publishers are interested in the book. When Colleen comes through the door, an angry and devastated Adrian tells her that there is no longer hope for his book and that means no tenure. "But hey, as long as you're really sorry, I guess it's okay." She says she is truly sorry, but a sarcastic Adrian won't hear it. Just then, Brad arrives to take Colleen to the airport. Adrian congratulates 'tag-team Carlton' on a job well done. Colleen ushers her father out the door and turns back to Adrian. Tearfully, she says goodbye, leaving him sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands.



At Restless Style, as Jamie starts complaining about the fonts they're using, Jack runs in and says they've got a line on model Samantha Cresswell for the cover! Jamie is impressed and Jack makes the decision, in Nick's absence to stop the presses on the cover! When Nick arrives, Jack bravely tells him the cover has been scrapped! Nick says this is all insane! Phyllis tries to calm him by saying that Jack is going to cover the costs and Samantha Cresswell will be great! Nick says that is not the point - they are supposed to be partners and Jack made a major decision without him! Nearby, Jack commiserates with Sharon about Nick being upset. When Sharon points out that Nick has always been pushed around by Victor, Jack says they have too much money invested in this magazine to be concerned with Nick's daddy issues!



Next on The Young and the Restless

Karen decides to move away from Genoa City! She tells Neil that he wants Dru - and she'll never be Dru!

In a stunning move, Nikki and David head to Mexico to elope!

Daniel and Amber's relationship forges ahead as he openly refers to her as his "girlfriend"!

I think I've read somewhere that Colleen (Tammin Sursok) is going away for 6 weeks on the show to actually do a Disney show or movie...guess it's a leave of absence...

Posted by South Side Chick at Monday, May 12 2008 02:02 PM

Thank you!

I know that Brad is bad, I just wasn't sure about the book. Did he kill someone, and isn't Brad not his real name? I kinda remember somthing like that?

Posted by Nunyabznz at Monday, May 12 2008 02:07 PM

Tweete-
That's it! I couldn't remember his first name. Damien Porter. He was a hottie!

Posted by twocentsworth at Monday, May 12 2008 02:08 PM

With all the talk and Nikki questioning whether or not Victor was ill, and then Nick asking the same thing regarding Victor's health today when the Mighty Moustache (Victor) summoned his "children" to the house to "get a load of his bride-2-B, maybe, just maybe, when/if he does make it down the isle to be in numptual bliss with his new Miss Sabrina (aka living, breathing Barbie Doll-when is her hair style going to sport the new brunette ponytail do like her lookalike Barbie her beloved bought for her??)...maybe Victor will have a seizure and then all bets are off as to who will come running to his aide!!

Nunyabznz,

It's Damon, not Damien.

South Side, I too apologize for my smart remarks back to you. Brad had to kill a couple of bad men during the art thing. His real name is George Kaplan. He took the name from a friend of his who was killed when he was in his late teens. Apparently that is when he joined the Navy and became a Seal .

Bermuda Baby,

Hang in there. Lousy bast***s starting fires! I hope they hang him/her/them the nads/nether regions. I had to abandon my house during the California fires. Fortunately the fire didn't get within 2 miles of my place. I hope you are equally fortunate!

Farmboy needs a punch in da chops! It'll come out that he had a thing with Sabrina and now he's lealous that she's with DADDY! Good for Adrian! Books ain't worth ruining lives!

Hey SouthSide,

No problemo. We all get intense (Restless?) around here. Glad you're back. Here's what I can contribute to the 411 on Y&R.

All: feel free to correct me!

- yeah, Brad's baaaaaad. Quick backstory: he came to the show as a gardener who worked for the Abbott family. He and Tracy Abbott married and Colleen is their daughter. He pretty much slept his way to the top. As someone else just said, we found out in that 1.5-years-ago area that his real name isn't Brad Carlton, it's George Kaplan, he's Jewish, his mother (Colleen's grandma) is/was some art guru and his family was being hunted down by the Nazis. He got the name from a childhood friend who had been killed, he just kind of assumed his name and tried to blend in. The whole art backstory was kind of forgettable for me, I really don't remember the particulars, but when Brad was married to Vicki, there was a reliquary that needed finding and Brad and Vicki and Victator went on a little spree to Italy to find it. During that spree Brad wound up taking out a couple of guys. Turns out that Jana (yes, the same Jana) was in on the efforts to get the reliquary for themselves, and had offed Carmen Mesta (a blink-and-you'd-miss-her-character that was brought on around the same time) and tried killing Colleen and Kevin as well. Turns out Jana had a brain tumor that caused her wackiness, and Kevin, seemingly having come to the conclusion that the only love he'd ever have was someone as diabolical as he was, sought and succesfully secured her freedom from the jaws of justice AND conned his moneybags mama Gloria into paying to have Jana's tumor removed.

- The book. Oh yeah, in the midst of all of this, art prfessor Adrian wants to write a tell-all book all about the Kaplan family's efforts to keep the reliquary out of sinister hands, but Colleen (who had left JT for him) was all torn up about what risk that would pose to her family, because even though all this reliquary stuff had been cooled off on a back burner, apparently there are still evildoers who would want to harm the Kaplans. So anyway somehow Adrian had convinced Colleen that it would be a good thing for him to write this book, and now that it's ready for print she's changing her mind.

- The Clear Springs thing: Wellll.... Clear Springs is this fictional town that's in bad need of revitalization. There were old buildings that Victoria and Adrian had wanted to preserve, and NVP was going to put in a big resort-spa, and Jack wanted to build a casino there, and basically bringing this town back to life was a cornerstone of the senate campaigns that both Jack and Nikki ran (which Jack won). Anyhoo, not wanting to see Jack succeed at anything and not caring whether Nikki was collateral damage, Victator bought the mineral rights for the whole area and decided to start drilling for methane. In the meantime, David Chow was working for NVP and was cutting deals on the side with the concrete contractor. So one day (timed for November sweeps) there was a big explosion that basically killed off the whole project. Insurance concluded that Victator's drilling was the cause; Victator claims that there were material defects that contributed (he had JT investigate, and that's how we found out about David's side dealing) but that was never proven.

I have no idea if that provides enough of a skeleton to hang any of the current Y&R carcass on. But I'm sure the rest of the gang can help fill in what I've missed (and I know there's a ton missing!)

Bermuda Baby,

May Day

I'm in Palm Bay - the flames are a couple of miles south of me in PB. We are getting smoke all around and it's cloudy and stinks. Three firefighters are injured, one critical. Wind gusts up to 35. I-95 closed in this area from Indian River Co. to I think as far as Cocoa. Big-ass stretch.

Fire has jumped to US1. Median in interstate burning.
2300 acres burned and increasing.
I'm keeping track through WKMG in Orlando.
They showed a satellite pic of a 'smoke plume' 20 miles offshore.

When you think about it, you ain't so far away really. maybe 65-70 miles?

SDS - thanks for the 'hang in there'. I hope they get those bast.......s. Better yet would be for them to perish in the flames. There's a LOT of old retirees down here in this area.

They're also having fires in Daytona - 70 miles north of us. That's not so far from Orlando.
