Straight Talk
Eileen Davidson (Ashley) set the record straight regarding a rumor suggesting she might have quit The Young and the Restless because of abuse allegations. Meanwhile, Y&R executive producer and head writer Mal Young was upfront discussing the possible return of two major characters.
Race for Ratings

What A Bust!

Stunning Announcement
Daytime vet Sarah Joy Brown, best remembered as the original Carly on General Hospital, announced some major career news.


Missed Opportunity
Speaking of GH, the soap recently ran repeat episodes of Ryan Peavey’s demise as Nathan. However, it would have better served viewers by rerunning a different set of classic episodes.
