Sucks to be Cane...

Forget not messing with Texas (sorry Jamey and Mel), you don't mess with Slick Vic (Eric Braeden)!

It's old home summer on The Young and the Restless, thanks the renewal of the classic Kay (Jeanne Cooper) vs. Jill (then the cheesetastic Brenda Dickson, now mercifully Jess Walton) feud, the returns of Nina (Tricia Cast) and Phillip (Thom Bierdz) to the canvas and the possibility of Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell) making an appearance at some point. In honor of the occasion I decided to dig up this old school clip from the beginning stages of the Nina/Phillip/Cricket triangle. Nina and Cricket were the ultimate frenemies—the beautiful Jabot teen model who had the local rock star Danny Romalotti (Michael Damien) and the Chancellor heir fighting for her hand versus the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Nina and Cricket's junior rivalry never quite reached the peaks of campy histrionics that Kay vs Jill did, but it was still good soap. I can't wait to see how Kay, Jill, Nina and Cricket react to the fact that Phillip didn't die all those years ago! Mvid courtesy of ItsMandyKimper. READ MORE

Former General Hospital and LA Law star, Corbin Bernsen reprises his role as Father Todd Williams on The Young and the Restless on June 2. Bernsen who is the real life son of Genoa City's grande dame Jeanne Cooper (Katherine), will return to town when he gets word his brother Paul (Doug Davidson) is getting hitched to childhood friend Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott).

WIth the red hot CBS soap The Young and the Restless making waves by bringing back the wildly popular Thom Bierdz, some newer or casual Y&R viewers are probably wondering what the significance is of having the actor who played the original adult Phillip Chancellor III back on the canvas. One DC regular Blackjack21 emailed us with a request for Phillip's backstory. Since I was only a mere, randy thought in my teenage parents minds when they storyline began back in the 70's, I had to break out the trusty Y&R Anniversary Scrapbook, as well as pay a visit to online soap opera encyclopedia Soap Central to make sure I hit all the high notes.

Looks like throwbacks will be the name of the game, when it comes to wardrobe choices for Murphy (Michael Fairman) and Katherine's (Jeanne Cooper) wedding on The Young and the Restless. Now tradition is, when the bride tosses her bouquet, which ever single lady catches it is next to wed. Now I love my Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), as our Jamey Giddens likes to tease me about, but Nikki certainly doesn't need to have another wedding right about now!
 
Side Note: I see Clementine Ford (Mac) happens to be sporting some extensions for the occasion. Thoughts people?
