Secret meetings once again had to be held to determine what to do over Defiance.  Olivia (Kerry Washington), Cyrus (Jeff Perry), Hollis (Gregg Henry), Mellie (Bellamy Young), and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn), who replaced Verna, met in the White House kitchen. 

Hollis suggested they should do what they should have done over a year ago: kill David Rosen (Joshua Malina).  Fitz decreed no more bloodshed, and they decided to get the Cytron card back and destroy it this time. 
 
Fitz also informed Liv he wanted her to be his First Lady now, and not wait another four years after the election to be together.  He told her to come up with a plan that made the American public love her more than Mellie, and them as a couple. Then, he could still win a second term with Olivia by his side. READ MORE

 

Oh Nicholas (Joshua Morrow), how could you? On today's episode of The Young and the Restless, viewers learn Genoa City's hottest scion has been keeping one whopper of a secret — Summer (Hunter King) may not be his daughter!

While the rumor mill has been churning about Jack (Peter Bergman) possibly having fathered Phyllis' (Michelle Stafford) child for awhile now, TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan got to the bottom of the paternity pickle in a new interview with Morrow himself.

Here's an excerpt:

TV Guide Magazine: Great story twist, but this is so not Nick. How can he justify what he's done?

Morrow: It really worried me when I heard they were taking my character in a direction that was potentially evil. Nick takes being a father very seriously. It means the world to him. How could he deny another man the right to parent his own child? All those lost years! I expressed my concern about that but [head writer] Josh Griffith and [exec producer] Jill Phelps said, "We have a way of telling this story that won't make it as dastardly as it seems." READ MORE

A report in the May 27 issue of Soap Opera Digest claims Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) was offered "a lot of money" to stay with the sudser. That's something you rarely hear about anymore, given these times of extreme budget crunching for soaps! Here's an excerpt:

"They threw a lot of money at her to get her to stay," relayes one setside source. "But she just thought it was the right time to go." READ MORE
