Former "Restless" Villain Back to Canvas

Viewers you're not in The Twilight Zone. Former Young and Restless bad boy James Michael Gregary (ex-Clint) is back onscreen. Old school and new fans alike who watched the Christmas episode last month may recall Marge (Jeanne Cooper) had a partner-in-crime working with the first time she interacted with Kay.  The one in the same is back and plotting once again to get his hands on the Chancellor fortune.

Back in 1989, Clint came up with the plan to steal the Chancellor fortune when he found Marge and realized she was a dead-ringer for Katherine and decided to pass her off as such. Clint went on to woo Gina Roma (Patty Weaver) as a way to have an in with the Chancellors since Gina and Danny's (Michael Damien) dear old dad Rex (Quinn K. Redker).

Days of Our Lives Flashback: The Time Is Near

People of the world - the time is near. For those living in a world without any form of public medium or access to soap opera news, Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall's final days are upon us in coming days on Days of Our Lives. As much as this decision hurt fans from everywhere, the inevitable is about to happen. In recent posts, particularly from myself, I have once again felt the desire to share another John and Marlena tribute video with the world. It's hard to come to grips with this news that this daytime supercouple is packing up and moving away from a town they have called home for so long. But like the saying goes, the world still turns and life must and will go on - with or without John and Marlena. We will watch with bated breath in hope the show will survive and revive it's fight to reign supreme in this flagship daytime drama. READ MORE

The Young and the Restless Spoilers

Feliz Navidad everyone! I come bearing the gift of spoilers for The Young and the Restless. Some may like it, some may not but hey its better than the traditional fruitcake right?

Billy/Lily/Cane: Guess Lily's really going all out to prove that she's over Cane because she and Billy hit the sheets! The week really isn't shaping up to be Cane's when he and Lily have a spat about her relationship with Billy. Also, Billy and big brother Cane have a heated confrontation.

Karen/Neil/Tyra: Tyra's deeply in love with Neil and is crushed that he and Karen are getting married. Before the wedding takes place, Olivia tells Tyra that she needs to let Neil know how she feels before its too late. Tyra decides to hold her tongue because she's thinking of the bigger picture, with Neil and Karen married she can get Ana out of foster care. Once married, Neil and Karen can get the green light to become foster parents and have Ana released into their care. For now, Tyra's feelings for Neil are kept on hold so she can focus on Ana's well being. Neil and Karen get hitched at Indigo (of all places!). I'm hoping that they have the reception at Indigo and not the wedding. If they are, I have to speak to Auntie Maria about that.

Jill: She puts a plan into motion to torpedo Jack. READ MORE

Classic "Restless" Episodes to Air Christmas and Day After

Fans of The Young and the Restless of ole' are in for a treat this year. CBS will run a old episode of Y&R, on Christmas Day. The airing is a Christmas one dating back to 1989! For those new to watching Y&R, this is an event to tune into to get a gander at why yours truly along with her DC cohorts are fighting for the soap industry and why we're also praising the gold standard of the genre.

If that isn't enough, the day after Christmas, Y&R will also air a special Its a Wonderful Life type episode that is centered around super lawyer Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc). It seems like Aunt Maria along with her posse Hogan, Paul and Scott are trying to let the naysayers know that soaps aren't dead, but just hibernating.
