Restless Style, One Year Later


Restless Style is celebrating its one year anniversary. Since The Young and the Restless launched Restless Style it has played a part in a variety of storylines including Katherine's return from the dead and now the Cane and Lily wedding. It has provided Y&R the opportunity for celebrity cameos such as Katy Perry and Kathy Hilton and it has also given Y&R more of a web presence.

What do you think of Y&R's Restless Style? Has it been good for the show?

Grading Cane and Lily's Wedding on The Young and the Restless


Cane and Lily's wedding on The Young and the Restless was the biggest wedding Genoa City's seen since, well, Katherine and Murphy's wedding. Katherine and Murphy's wedding was the biggest wedding since, well, Billy and Chloe's wedding.

In all seriousness, I was actually impressed with today's wedding. Everyone knows I'm not a fan of the couple, but if I were I'm sure I'd be ecstatic. Christel Khalil looked amazing. Daniel Goddard looked dapper. Cane and Lily's vows were written and delivered in a manner that made the cynic in me believe them to be heart felt. I even felt a tad of sympathy for Lily, knowing she's going to find out eventually  that her husband is hiding something from her.

Today's wedding didn't have a cake fight or Jill Abbott strung up in a closet, but it did seem terribly appropriate for the couple in question. I'd give it a solid B.

What grade do you give Cane and Lily's wedding?

Wishful (Stunt) Casting: Maury Povich as Himself on The Young and the Restless



Okay, so anyone who listened to those Top 10 Ways to Improve This Soap or That One episodes of the Daytime Confidential podcast knows how I feel about stunt casting. Generally, I hate the concept. Especially if a soap is already smelling up the joint like a backed up port-a-potty at the Four States Fair.

Who cares about seeing some Nascar driver or Donald Trump when the soaps that brings them on aren't using the vets we know and love and are telling recycled, tired stories? However, when a soap is firing on all cylinders, telling good, juicy, character-driven tales of love, lust, and, okay, the occasional chipmunk (nobody's perfect), that the majority of the fans are enjoying, then I don't mind them having a little fun with casting. That's why I think The Young and the Restless should bring on talk show host/baby daddy-figurer-outer Maury Povich for a dream sequence starring Sharon Newman Abbott (Sharon Case)! READ MORE
