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...

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?

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

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!

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,

I'm in Orlando. All hell is breaking loose....stay safe!

also about the brad thing...

he's wanted back in ohio as george kaplan for the murder of his family (father, aunt, and sister). the book was going to expose that as well. adrian find out b/c jana and not colleen gave him that bit of info. jana's dad was arrested (or did brad kill him) when they went to locate some art treasure in the czech republic or somewhere like that.

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.
