She may not have been able to save her marriage to Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) on CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless, but Nia Peeples is bound and determined to save our nation's troubled teenagers. Peeples is the executive producer of a new reality series pilot called The Teen Whisperer, starring Mike Linderman. The series appears to be based on The Teen Whisperer: How to Break Through the Silence and Secrecy of Teenage Life, written by Linderman, a therapist and cattle rancher, and Gary Brozek. This show would be perfect for ABC Family, I think Peeples has a hit on her hands! Check out the powerful trailer after the jump.

Happy Thursday people! Some interesting developments are headed to The Young and the Restless.

Sharon: Like we've been saying all along, Sharon is knocked up and doesn't know who her baby daddy is! After she takes a pregnancy test due to feeling the symptoms of being with child, Sharon finds out she's knocked up. At first she's in shock and knows since her life is so screwed up she's in no position to have a baby. The irony of Sharon's situation is that she was judging Phyllis a few years ago when she became knocked up with Summer and didn't know who the father was and now Sharon has taken her place. Sharon heads to the GCAC to contemplate her current situation when she sees an unkempt Jack coming down the stairs and, puts the pieces together and realizes that Jack slept with another woman.The other woman is Mary Jane. In a funk, Sharon tells her mom about her pregnancy and she also has to break down and tell her that its between three men. Sharon's mom Doris has no clue about the trysts with Billy and her mom is not too happy about this revelation. READ MORE

Picture it. Genoa City, Wisconsin. Monday, April 20, 2009. A foster child/custody storyline so boring, so polarizing, so utterly pointless, by comparison it makes Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet seem like edge-of-your-seat entertainment, is finally, mercifully climaxing on CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless. 

While I knew weeks ago that yesterday would be the day when Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) and his wife Karen (Nia Peeples) would face off in court with Tyra (Eva Marcille) over the custodial fate of Sally Sing-A-Lot aka Ana. I also knew this episode would be important for another reason. It would be the first air show since officially rejoining the soap opera writing community for former Days of Our Lives scribe Tom Casiello, whose My Space blog became a soap fanboy/girl's wet dream during the 2007-2008 Writers' Strike. Talk about pressure. For his first show, Casiello would have to help breathe life into the only storyline stinker left on the soap opera since the Dream Team of Maria Arena Bell, Paul Rauch and Hogan Sheffer began masterfully restoring The Young and the Restless, following the destructive tenure of Lynn Marie Latham.  READ MORE

Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Nia Peeples(Karen Winters) is officially out at The Young and the Restless. The actress was released from her contract and her final airdate is unknown at this time.

We just found out that The Young and the Restless actress Nia Peeples apparently put a few peeps at the CBS soap on blast during her interview with Brandon's Buzz.

Now we haven't heard the interview ourselves yet—can't wait to get home and listen!—but according to a summary at Soap Opera Network, Peeples allegedly (Y'all know I'm a journalist so I have to say allegedly until I hear it for myself, no disrespect!) talked about how Y&R executive producer Maria Arena Bell allegedly tried to fire her when she took over the show and that the brass lied to her saying she would remain on recurring and her character Karen in Genoa City, then when Peeples, who was hired by Lynn Marie Latham, showed up to tape her last show the script read that Karen was moving to New York. According to Peeples, they were probably afraid she wouldn't show up to tape her last show!   READ MORE

Ever since the return of Tonya Lee Williams as Dr. Olivia Barber Hastings Winters on The Young and the Restless was first announced, soap fans have been speculating about whether or not Liv's son, Nate could be far behind. Liv has mentioned Nate—the child she conceived with her deceased first husband Nathan and later raised with second husband Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore)—several times since arriving back in Genoa City. According to the storyline, Lily(Christel Khalil)'s older cousin is away at medical school. I say its time Nate transferred to a university closer to Genoa City and I have the perfect person to play him– Robert Ri'chard.

Like Bryton McClure and Tatiyana Ali, Ri'chard grew up on our screens in such sitcoms as Cousin Skeeter and One on One, and would bring with him a built-in audience. In recent years he played Paris Hilton's love interest in the camptasically-bad horror flick House of Wax. READ MORE
