The feud between Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill (Jess Walton) is back and The Young and the Restless kicked things off with a food fight, wedding cake and all! We haven't had a good food fight on soaps since the one on Days of Our Lives between Sami, Chloe and Nicole. Who would have expected to see these four veteran actresses on The Young and the Restless in a food fight? Not me. Everyone played it well and I don't know if they enjoyed letting loose and throwing wedding cake at each other, but I loved watching it.
 
Now if only One Life to Live would get Catherine Hickland back as Lindsay Rappaport so that she and Nora could have another food fight, I'd be in heaven. A lot more food fight photos after the jump. READ MORE

According to the good folks at Soap Opera Digest's web site, a casting call went out for a well known actress to play Jill (Jess Walton). SOD states that a source has told them that Walton hasn't been feeling well and think that its possible that The Young and the Restless is looking for someone to fill in until our favorite bad girl feels better. Online rumblings are also wondering if the role is for Katherine's (Jeanne Cooper) real missing in action daughter. My money's on a tempJill coming in, get well soon Jess!

The bitchfest is back with Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill (Jess Walton). God can't you feel the love? Murphy (Michael Fairman) sure does clean up nice, no?

Psst! Hey you, remember when I told you about the special episode of The Young and the Restless with Marge (Jeanne Cooper) chatting with the audience? Well, here's a sneak peak of it. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty sure your not suppose to look THAT good when you've been six feet under for a few months. I watch enough Law and Order and CSI to know that!

Now before you ask, no Aunt Maria and Uncles Hogan and Scott aren't channeling the late James E. Reilly. According to TV Guide, on March 26, The Young and the Restless will dedicate a special show around the hustling hash slinging waitress Marge (Jeanne Cooper). Marge will be exhumed for DNA testing. Kudos to the fab four over at Y&R for showing that young bucks in the industry aren't the ones that fans are clamoring to see and should be centered upon. Remember folks, do as our Uncle Jamey says: "VOTE WITH YOUR REMOTE," because this is going to be a episode you will not want to miss!

Daytime television has come a long way from the time when soap operas solely revolved around the lives of Midwestern WASPs. Thanks in large part to Agnes Nixon, and the racially and socially diverse landscapes she brought to the artform with her daytime dramas One Life to Live and All My Children, people of color began to carve out a niche on daytime in the late 60's and early 70's. Nixon was also responsible for creating signature roles for women like Robin Strasser and Suan Lucci, both of whom have been quoted as saying they had been told their look was too "ethnic" for television early in their careers.
