When Rodrigo (Jeremy Irons) first heard the French army landed in Rome, he thought they were under attack due to Cesare (François Arnaud) causing some great offense during his visit.  Soon, a smug Cesare arrived and informed him the French army was there on his invitation, and under his command. 
 
Rodrigo was livid at how far Cesare had overreached.  Cesare insisted he did what was needed to ensure their safety.  His plan was to wipe out the Sforza dynasty by starting with Ludovico in Milan, which he’ll then turnover to France.  Rodrigo was not happy about having the French in Italy, but eventually gave Cesare his consent.

TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan is reporting the actress will play Quinn Fuller, the mother of Darin Brooks' Wyatt. Look for the new character to first air July 12. READ MORE

Okay, let's be real. Michelle Stafford is damn near irreplaceable. I still have nightmares about that Sandra chick who played Phyllis for a time. However, The Young and the Restless is at the beginning of a RED-hot paternity story almost a decade in the making.
