Fen’s Jealousy of Jamie Turns Violent on The Young and the Restless
Jack (Peter Bergman) told Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Adam (Michael Muhney) he planned to call Michael (Christian LeBlanc) and confess for the hooker’s death. Adam and Phyllis tried to convince Jack that Victor (Eric Braeden) didn’t know the truth. Jack said Victor wouldn’t have to tell the police; he’d just have to spread rumors. Jack was done with the lies, and there would be no more cover up.
Victor held a press conference and was about to spill the beans on Jack's condition, when Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) interrupted. She took him aside, and demanded to know if he was going to break his promise to her. Victor said he didn’t give a damn what other people thought about him. He asked if Nikki was giving him an ultimatum. Did Melody Thomas Scott look faboosh in that pink dress or what?
Eventually, Victor informed the press he would make his announcement later.
Lauren (Tracey Bregman) and Michael discovered money and other things were missing from their house. The duo confronted Jamie, but Jamie defended himself. He became upset over their accusations, and left. Michael started thinking Fen set up Jamie.
Paul (Doug Davidson) found Fen (Max Ehrich) at Crimson Lights. He asked if Fen was okay with Jamie (Daniel Polo) living at his house. Fen said it was fine, because it was short term and he’d be gone soon.
A thought crossed my mind as I watched their scenes. What is the likelihood Paul ends up adopting/fostering Jamie, at some point down the road? It just might work, especially since the PI just lost Ricky (Peter Porte).
Murphy (Michael Fairman) and Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) were eating, when Tucker (Stephen Nichols) interrupted. Murphy forcefully told him to leave, and then started choking on something. Tucker had to give him the Heimlich maneuver.
Fen and Jamie got into a fight atop the building where Jamie was preparing to sleep. The two started pushing and shoving, and the show cut to a commercial. When it returned, Paul was on the roof looking for Jamie. He discovered Jamie lying on a lower roof, amid the snow.
Michael arrived at the Abbott mansion, where Jack confessed to being responsible for the hooker’s death.

You're right about our attention. We are 3 clicks away from seeing whatever we want on the Internet. Sci-fi, News, Lesbian Porn, you name it. So I suppose that Y&R should try to be what it has always been, Y&R. Keep the Head Writing skills separate from the Executive Producer. Probably would have been better under the MAB regime'. The direction was good: stalkers, Murder Mystery, dopple-gangers, and a lot of good old fashioned Daytime Drama.
But the dialog, writing, and moving forward the plot was not that great, and the wrap up on most story-lines were lousy. The most glaring example is Diane's Murder, which turned out to be Diane trying to murder Nikki. At the same time was Patty shooting Jack. Instead of following through with another good month of Patty, she was gone. Dumb.
So it's too bad, like another poster has said, that MAB could not have continued as EP, with Josh G writing. Cause I sense the spirit of JFP with the whole Adriana-thing, which is a bust. And even today, Tyler is still even hornier than ever, with sex on his mind.
But I have to believe that the perfectly unfolding Fen/Jamie s/l has to be the work of Josh G. As well as the unexpected resignation of Jack from Newman, and really trying to over-come his problems in life.
Good work Josh.

PNfan ... I like that idea of having Jamie become a son for Paul.
Regarding Fen's involvement. I just hope this story line does not stretch too much longer. I can't stand the thought of Michael being the only one to be suspicious with Lauren erroneously keeping faith in her Macaulay Culkin like son.
pjc722 ... I do agree with you regarding Jack to an extent. It is kind of annoying seeing him taking the entire blame for this. However, I have a feeling he will snap out of it. And don't forget that once again all of this is Victor's doing. There was no crime committed except for the disposal of the body but Victor is once again the catalyst for all that goes wrong.
But I do think some of the negatively expressed here is way off base. Y&R is not worse and in some cases much better than under the previous regime. Just give it a bit more time.
Now ... if they could just figure out a way to sideline EB/Victor.
