Interview with Josh McKenzie of “The Hunting Party” on NBC by Suzanne 3/6/26

It’s always great to speak with Josh. He is very nice and laughs easily. I appreciate anyone who laughs at my jokes! 😆 Seriously, I love his role on this series because he’s always right in the thick of the action, but he’s also a good dramatic actor who can show all of the emotions needed for this part. He has a lot of story coming up, where we learn more about his past. Don’t miss it! It airs Thursdays on NBC or Peacock. This show is so fun to watch because the story moves fast, there are lots of killers and conspiracy, and the characters are riveting.

Check out our video interview below, too.

 

"The Hunting Party" key art (NBC)MORE INFO: Official Site  Preview

The Hunting Party is a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators led by former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh). They’ve been assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers the world has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from “The Pit,” a top-secret government prison that’s not supposed to exist.

But as Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover that the one thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the prison itself that they just escaped from…because “The Pit” wasn’t just a prison.

The cast also includes Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia.

Co-showrunners JJ Bailey (creator) and Jake Coburn are writers and executive producers. Thor Freudenthal is director and executive producer. Michael Jones Morales is writer and executive producer.

Recap written by Barbara

Adam and Chelsea are out to dinner at GCAC, although neither of them have an appetite because of how upset they are about the loss of the Newman family legacy to Phyllis and Billy. They discuss the impact it will have on the various Newman family members and Adam expresses his appreciation of Chelsea’s support. They joke about what kinds of jobs they could get when the Newman money runs out, including him being a card shark again and her returning to running cons. She says she could be his shill.
Billy comes to Phyllis’s office to demand that she get the contract that will give him Chancellor signed within an hour because Victor kidnapped Jack and will not release him until Billy gives Victor Chancellor back.
He then meets up with Diane and Kyle at Society and lets them know that Phyllis is giving him a hard time about signing the contract. He also expresses uncertainty about whether Jack is actually in danger from Victor without proof. After pressure from Diane and Kyle, Billy texts Victor and tells him to send him proof that he has his brother and he will make sure Victor gets Chancellor back. Shortly thereafter, Billy gets a text from an unknown number with a picture dated the day before with Jack looking unconscious wearing the shirt Diane last saw him in. Billy thinks it must be from Victor using a burner phone.
Phyllis goes to the Newman ranch to meet with Victor. She lets him know that she still owns Chancellor and if he wants it back, he will have to negotiate with her, not Billy. Victor says it’s a demand, not a negotiation and Phyllis capitulates. She says she will give him Chancellor back if he releases Lily, the twins and Jack. Victor is shocked and skeptical and gets her to admit that she just wants her children to love and respect her so she will give up Chancellor for their sake. Victor is distrustful, tells her to give him an hour, during which time she is to get the papers drawn up and then they’ll see. He warns her not to ever start negotiating again or the deal is off.
A bewildered Jack finds himself in a bedroom stranded on a lake in a yacht with Patty Williams, who says she is rehabilitated and wants to make amends. Jack is skeptical, infuriated and wants nothing to do with her. She leaves him in the room and comes back with food and drinks for him, which he refuses. She taste tests everything to prove it’s not poisoned and after she expresses deep regret for the mistakes she made with him and his family and describes the excruciatingly difficult work she did on herself to get well in the psychiatric facility, Jack warms up to her attempt at redemption and forgiveness. He says he could see his way to believing and forgiving her if she gets them to shore together where they can eventually go their separate ways and she can go back to rebuilding herself. Patty tells him that’s not an option because she’s not the one in charge here.

Y&R Raves and Rants #8

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

Young and the Restless Opinion Article

 

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) on "The Young and the Restless" on CBS/Paramount+ (photo from screencap)

Article written by Barbara 3/6/26

Here is what I liked and disliked about Y&R for the week of 3/2/2026 (just my humble opinions, no particular order, just random musings)

Raves: 👍

Victoria and Nikki looked beautiful in the 3/2/2026 episode … Victoria’s top was beautiful and her hair looked great pulled up into a bun. Nikki’s blue flowered blouse really brought out her blue eyes.

I liked Sharon’s blue denim shirt, outfit and casual look (light makeup, hair straight down).

Enjoyed the friendly conversation between Kyle and Claire at the bar in Society. I’m not much of a Claire fan, but there’s chemistry between these two. (Nonetheless, I think she overdoes it just a bit with facial expressions and eye movements – in these scenes and in the scenes with her and Victoria on 3/6/2026.)

Ooh, another solid female friendship – Tessa and Sienna. It’s continuing to be refreshing to see women bonding rather than sniping at each other or gossiping about each other.

Billy Flynn did a great job projecting his character’s Cane’s desperation to get his family back when he was begging Phyllis to help him. I could almost feel his anxiety.

Likewise, Jason Thompson did a great job projecting his character Billy’s panic and desperation to find out what happened to his brother, Jack, who as of 3/6/2026 appeared to have been kidnapped by Victor.

Rants: 👎

In a word … Sienna. I cannot stand that fake, forced, tough and gritty type accent of hers. This character just really annoys me.

Gee, only one rant. Apparently, this was a good week for me on Y&R. 😁

The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.

Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Sally (Courtney Hope) on Young and The Restless - CBS/Paramoujt+ (pic from screencaps)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Sally: I know you’re not a fan of Billy’s.
Audra: I mean, it’s not about him. I mean, yes, he’s insensitive, impulsive, self-centered…
Sally: Okay. But it’s not about him?
Audra: You could say that about almost any man, Sally. It’s the nature of the species.
Audra: Okay, I’m sorry, but sure does seem like one night of great sex has turned a big corner for you.
Sally: Hey, it was a lot more than that.
Audra: Sorry. I didn’t mean to presume. I was just being a little bitchy. But I’m not wrong about how he hurt you. Or everything you had to give up to be his partner. Marchetti was a pretty good gig.
Sally: I do not regret any of my decisions.

Audra: Even before last night?

Sally: Even before.
Audra: Okay, like I said, it’s your life, your choices. It’s none of my business. But I’d still run for the hills if it were me.
Sally: Even if it were Nate?
Audra: Unfair.
Sally: Why?
Audra: Because I was the one who screwed that up, not him.
Sally: I have never been one to play it safe. So why do I do that with my relationships? I believe in Billy and me. And … for the first time in my life, I am choosing love … over fear.
Billy: Hey. Where’s Jack?
Kyle: Hey. He flew to Chicago on some Jabot business. What’s going on?
Billy: You know that for sure?
Kyle: Know what?
Billy: That he’s in Chicago.
Kyle: Yeah. It was a last-minute thing. He texted my mom and me last night.
Billy: Okay. Where’s he staying?
Kyle: Okay, just slow down, Billy.
Billy: Kyle, what hotel is he at?
Kyle: No. First you’re gonna tell me why you’re flying around here like a bat out of hell. What’s wrong?
Billy: Look, I hope that it’s nothing, but I don’t think it is.
Kyle: Just tell me.
Billy: Is Diane here? She needs to hear this.
Diane: I – I’m right here. Billy, what’s going on?
Billy: Victor kidnapped Jack.
Sally: You’re probably so bored of this by now – “The amazing adventures of Billy and Sally.”
Audra: Are you kidding? I am a sucker for dysfunctional relationships. That’s my jam, girl.
Sally: Well, I am really glad we could be so entertaining for you.
Audra: Oh, it’s better than television.
Sally: Uh, let’s not forget that I came into this relationship with a lot of baggage of my own.
Audra: Sally, you brought a purse. Billy had a whole set of luggage.
Audra: I get the attraction between you and Billy. You know, he’s got that smile, he’s got those charms. And when he looks at you … man … I want that look one of these days. I want someone to see me and just, uh … light up the way Billy does when he sees you.
Sally: You will.
Audra: Yeah, maybe in like 20 years or so.
Sally: Audra, you will. You just haven’t found the right guy yet.
Claire: Is there any update? Has Grandpa figured out a way to save the company?
Victoria: No, nothing so far. However, he says he has a new plan in the works, but as usual, he won’t tell any of us about it.
Claire: Mm. Sounds like Grandpa.
Victoria: Yeah. It’s very frustrating for all of us. We’re smart people. We have ideas. But when things get critical, he always insists on taking care of everything himself.
Claire (snickering): Mm-hmm.
Victoria: Why is that funny?
Claire: It’s kind of funny,
Victoria: Is it? Why?
Claire: Okay. Well, I think it’s kind of ironic to hear you complaining about Grandpa, wanting to handle things all on his own when I think secretly you would like to be doing the same thing yourself.
Adam: What do you think you’re doing?
Kyle: Calling the cops.
Victor: I wouldn’t do that if I were you
Kyle: I don’t give a damn what you think.
Victor: You don’t call the cops without reporting a crime.
Diane: Well, kidnapping is a crime, Victor.
Victor: How do you know he didn’t just decide to take a vacation?
Victor: Listen, if you wanna know more, just contact your idiot Uncle Billy Boy, okay?
Kyle: If you do anything to hurt my father, I will make it my mission in life to destroy you, Victor.
Victor: Listen to me, boy. Instead of threatening me … why don’t you contact your idiot Uncle Billy Boy? I want my company back. He has the means to do it. See to it that he does!
Sally: So what are you gonna do?
Billy: If this is about getting a signature on a piece of paper, then I call my attorneys and I get it done.
Sally: But I thought you said that you thought Phyllis was stalling.
Billy: Yeah, I mean it’s either that or it’s Phyllis, you know, making me sweat just for old times’ sake.
Sally: Do you really think Victor would do something like that? You really think he’s gonna hurt Jack?
Billy: I think it would be a very big mistake to underestimate Victor’s hatred for my brother. I mean, we’re talking a decades-long rivalry, and that match is very quick to light.
Kyle: God! I wanna hit him!
Diane (scoffs): Well, you would have had to have stood in line behind me.

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Nikki: Well, I”m glad you couldn’t track him down. I would have worried that you wouldn’t have been able to stop yourself from doing something we would all regret.
Nick: Anything that gets that psycho out of our lives for good would not be regrettable.
Nikki: It would be if it landed you in jail.
Victoria; You know, Nick, Matt could have killed you. You’re lucky that only one leg was shattered. I’m with Mom. I’m glad that you weren’t able to track him down.
Victor: I don’t like not knowing where he is. It gives him the upper hand.
Nick: Agreed. Feels like the calm before the storm. The problem is, we don’t know what direction that storm is coming from or when it’s gonna hit.
Cane: I truly believe that the only reason she’s continuing down this path and refuses to give it up is because she has nothing left. She’s clinging to this new role as CEO, not because she’s enjoying it, but because she feels abandoned by the people that matter to her most.
Daniel: Abandoned? She abandoned us!. She’s operating with a blatant disregard for the people that you claim that she loves. You know why? Because all she cares about is being one of Genoa City’s power elite. Everything else, that just – it falls by the wayside now.
Cane: Look, I’m just telling you what I observed the last time I spoke with her, and it’s not someone who’s reveling in being on top. Okay? She’s suddenly aware of what it cost her to get what she always wanted.
Daniel: That’s good. ‘Cause if losing us gets my mother to wake up to the mistakes that she’s made, I’m willing to be that sacrificial lamb.
Phyllis: This is a multinational company. You think I’m just gonna hand you Chancellor, what, and jot something down on a cocktail napkin or write some scribble on your hand or something? Come on!
Billy: I”m gonna need reassurances apart from a reworded contract.
Phyllis: You know what I’m gonna need? I’m gonna need you to be less paranoid. No one’s trying to attack you. No one’s trying to stab you in the back. You and your attorneys will thank me after this is done, okay?
Billy: I’m gonna hold you to that, Phyllis.
Phyllis: Great. Do that. In the meantime, while you’re waiting for the sweetheart of a deal, why don’t you spend time with your sweetheart? In your robes and your little socks. Your coffee mugs. While you … while you enjoy your nonprofessional life.
Billy: It’s happening, Victor. Chancellor Industries is now in the hands of its rightful leader. I know it’s a shock to hear it said out loud, but it feels pretty good to me, especially saying it to you.
Victor: I’ve got news for you. Chancellor Industries will be back in my hands before the end of the business day.
Billy (chuckles): That’s funny. You working on your stand-up routine now that you have so much time on your hands?
Victor: I’ll be very busy once the company belongs to me again.
Billy: I think all of this is making you a little delusional because there is not a chance in hell that I will be handing Chancellor Industries back to you.
Victor: If you don’t … neither you nor anyone in your family … will ever see Jack Abbott again.

Interview with Charlie Sadoff, Gabriel London and Danielle Dupree

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

 

director/producers Charlie Sadoff, Gabriel London and debate coach Danielle Dupree of film "Immutable" (photos from official site)

Interview with director/producers Charlie Sadoff, Gabriel London and debate coach Danielle Dupree on PBS by Suzanne 3/5/26

This is such an interesting documentary about Washington DC teens learning about debating and how it changes their lives. It’s very informative, uplifting and heart-tugging. I enjoyed speaking with the two men who made the film, as well as one of the woman that appears in it.

 

Key art for the PBS documentary "Immutable"MORE INFO: Official Site  Official PBS Site  Trailer

Directed by: Charlie Sadoff & Gabriel London
Produced by: Charlie Sadoff, Gabriel London, & Keith M. Brown

Immutable is a feature documentary that follows a group of students from the Washington Urban Debate League as they fight to find their voices in a world that too often tries to silence them. Against the backdrop of a city marked by inequality, these young debaters confront daily challenges that range from housing instability to neurodivergence. For some, debate is a path to college. For others, it’s a lifeline.

We meet them at a summer debate camp, where their journey begins—not just to win tournaments, but to sharpen arguments that reflect their own lives. One girl, autistic and fearless, demands the world see people with special needs as whole. Others argue for economic policy reforms while navigating poverty themselves. As multiple seasons unfold, Immutable captures the grit, intellect, and heart of students who are determined to not only become top-tier debaters but to change the course of their lives.

The film, which is airing on National Speech and Debate Day as part of the PBS America @ 250 commemoration of the country’s 250th anniversary, comes at a time of deep division in the United States. Debate, which emphasizes civil discourse and the ability to argue all sides of an issue, makes the film especially timely.

How to Watch Immutable

Immutable is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio.

Charlie Sadoff is a producer, director and editor whose most recent film Against All Enemies premiered to critical acclaim at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival, went onto to win multiple best documentary awards and after its release in 2024 was the number one ranked doc on the Apple TV charts. His early work includes the Emmy Award winning Liquid Television and Peter Gabriel’s VMA and Grammy Award winning music video Steam. Documentaries he has produced include For Our Daughters, The Mind of Mark Defriest which premiered at Hot Docs and aired on Showtime, Dream Riders (Sheffield Doc Fest, Discovery), the 10 part series The Rites of Autumn for ESPN and multiple docs for History and CBS Sports. Charlie seeks projects that can help affect meaningful change and Cut Poison Burn (Mill Valley) and The Harvest (IDFA, Epix) from executive producers Eva Longoria and Academy Award winners Shine Global both screened on Capitol Hill as part of efforts to move legislation. The Definition of Insanity, which he wrote and produced for PBS in 2020 is currently being used to help cities around the world change the way people with mental illness interact with the criminal justice system. Charlie has served as a judge for the Emmy Awards and a guest lecturer at the graduate school of journalism at Columbia University. He has won multiple Golden Trailer, Cynopsis Social Good, Promax Gold, BDA and film festival awards.Immutable key art - National Speech & Debate Education Day

Gabriel London is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose films have tackled major policy issues of the day from mass incarceration to climate change. Gabriel won the Albert R. Broccoli best film award for his first prison documentary, Turned Out, and went on to collaborate with Human Rights Watch on the first nationwide study of prison rape. The resulting films, No Escape: Prison Rape in America, received the Soros Criminal Justice Award and were instrumental in the passage of Prison Rape Elimination Act. Gabriel has made intimate documentaries with notable talent, including Drew Barrymore’s film on voting, The Best Place to Start, and Snoop Dogg’s autobiographical story, Youth Authority: California. Gabriel’s most recognized work, The Mind of Mark DeFriest, won a number of awards at film festivals and went on to help reduce the title subject’s sentence by over 70 years, before being aired on Showtime. In 2020, Gabriel directed The Definition of Insanity, which aired on PBS and has been used as a tool for mental health reforms nationwide.

Danielle Dupree is a full time debate coach for Washington Urban Debate League, as well as a former debate judge and high school debater.  An alumna of Howard University from PG County, MD, she spent 4 years at Duval High School,  where she became a debater. Now she uses her youth and experience to relate to students and help them grow in their own relationships with debate.

Audra: Something wrong?
Claire: Oh, I’m just in a state of shock that you would hold a door open for me.
Audra: You thought I’d let it hit you in the face?
Claire: I thought you’d slam it.
Audra: I’m curious. Why were you with Holden in the first place? Was it a one-night stand you couldn’t quit? Something more?
Claire: Why do you care?
Audra: Well, he just doesn’t seem like your type. But maybe that’s what you were going for – the opposite of Kyle.
Kyle: Sorry, am I late?
Claire: You are right on time.
Kyle: Well, thanks for agreeing to have breakfast with me.
Claire: You’re welcome.
Audra: You know, maybe there’s another reason why you and Holden are done. Rebound over. Pivot back to ex.
Claire: Have a lovely day, Audra.
Audra: You too, Claire.
Tessa: Oh, Daniel, this is Sienna. I know her from LA. We were in the music scene together.
Daniel: Oh, cool. Uh, nice to meet you.
Sienna: Yeah, likewise.
Daniel: So … what brings you to town?
Sienna: Oh, um, well, it’s kind of a long story, but I live here now and uh, I’m with Noah Newman.
Daniel: Oh! With Noah. Noah and I actually share a half-sister, Summer.
Sienna: Wow. It seems like everybody in this town is related to a Newman.
Daniel: Yeah, it’s the truth.
Kyle: She’s not worth anyone’s energy. Especially yours. You’re too good of a person.
Claire: I’m not perfect.
Kyle: Eh, from where I’m sitting, you’re pretty flawless.
Claire: Flatterer.
Kyle. Besides, the less time spent on Audra opens up more time to …
Claire: To do literally, anything else? Because that would be preferable.
Kyle: Not to push, but I wouldn’t mind having breakfast more often with you.
Claire: Just breakfast?
Kyle: I’m open to lunch. And coffee. Grocery shopping.
Claire: Mm-hmm.
Kyle: I mean, I’ll pretty much take any opportunity I can get to spend more time with you.
Claire: Grocery shopping? It’s a date.

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Kyle (to Claire as she’s walking toward the bar at Society, looking down at a book she’s holding): Is that book so people won’t try talking to you? And here I am talking to you. We can just pretend that I didn’t see you.
Claire: It was one of my dad’s. The plan was to have an empanada and read some of the same words as my dad, and remember that there are good people in the world.
Kyle: Woof.
Audra: Oh, look who’s back from Los Angeles. Guess it didn’t go well if you’re back so soon. You couldn’t recapture some of that LA magic.
Holden: Seems like a bad idea for you to joke about LA, given the current circumstances.
Sally: Very nice.
Billy: Well, you set the bar pretty high. You did something like this for me not too long ago. You know, when you lived here and had a key and all that?
Sally: I think your snacks might be a little better.
Billy: Yes. Score one for me.
Sally: Half a point.
Audra: You wanted to just recapture whatever magic you had in LA, but Claire had other plans. She just wanted to find dirt on me.
Holden: Claire isn’t as obsessed with you as you are with her.
Audra (scoffs): Obsessed. She left Genoa City while her family is at war. You think that was to cuddle with you?
Holden: Ha. No.
Audra: That whole trip was about finding more dirt on me. She never would have left otherwise. And you know I’m right.
Holden: Everything happening with the Newmans, it’s … it’s intense. You hear about AI this and AI that, but this is … this is atom bomb level stuff.
Audra: Yeah, it’s insane. Wish I’d thought of it. Meanwhile, your little girlfriend runs off to California, leaving her grandpa’s side because she can’t quit me.
Holden: It’s hard to work up much sympathy for Victor since he did the same thing to Cane … among other things.
Audra: Careful. Claire’s Grandpa’s biggest fan.
Holden: Well, then she doesn’t see the big picture.
Audra: It almost sounds like you think she’s making a big mistake, but I thought she was perfect.
Holden: She’s too close to the issue. I can see things clearly. And that man doesn’t give a damn about anyone who doesn’t share his last name.
Audra: Is there something you know, Holden? Something we can use to distract Claire – or better yet, shut her up entirely?
Holden: Taking on Claire isn’t enough for you? You want to go poking around in Victor’s business? How – how have you survived this long with instincts like that?
Audra: It’s not surviving. It’s called thriving.

Audra: So, she listened to you?

Holden: I think so, yes.

Audra: But, you don’t know?

Holden: I said … I think so.
Audra: And I can guarantee you – you don’t know how to think.
Kyle: Audra is the kind of person who’s always looking for someone she can use. If she can’t exploit them now, maybe there will come a time. So she uses her humor and her confidence …
Claire: To lure men into her bed.
Kyle (laughs): It’s nothing personal. It’s just … how she functions.
Claire: I can read Audra. I think that’s probably one of the reasons why she hates me. And, uh, she’s not gonna give up on you anytime soon.
Kyle: Yeah, out of spite or because she hates losing. But as far as an actual relationship, she misses Nate and it makes sense ’cause he’s the only one who ever cared about her. God knows why, but it was real, and she blew it up.
Audra: Look, at the Shadow Room, no matter who you went home with, it was never the same woman twice. Everyone knew that’s just how you rolled. Have a little fun and move on.

Holden: And?

Audra: Except not this time. It’s like that player is gone. The man I see right now … I think he’s falling for Claire.
Holden: She’s done with me.
Audra: Wait – this whole conversation, and you’re just now telling me that?
Holden: You already called me out. You said LA didn’t go the way I wanted, and … you were right.
Audra: Well, I mean, I thought separate hotel rooms, not her sending you on your way. And why now?
Holden: She knew I was holding out on her. Which I am, and so … so she’s done. Which means that I no longer have to spend all my energy lying to her, and she doesn’t have to dig into my past or yours.

Audra: Wow. Well, she’s an idiot. Where’s she gonna find a guy like you?

Holden: Oh, now you want us back together?

Audra. God, no. You should have walked away from her months ago. Wasting your time on that psycho. She never deserved you in the first place. She never gave you the benefit of the doubt, never trusted you, and she was never willing to accept what you were willing to give. So … good riddance. For both of us. Who needs that kind of misery? Anyone who doesn’t believe in you can go straight to hell.
Audra: What’s so special about her anyway? You and Kyle, just falling for those dimples. You can find other dimples without risking jail time

Recap written by Barbara

Claire runs into Kyle at the Society bar; he invites her to join him for a drink – his treat. They talk briefly about her family situation and then about her trip to LA. She tells Kyle that the trip did not provide her with the answer to the secret of what happened with Audra (regarding her connection to the missing art dealer there). Claire indicates that she is suspicious of Audra-  she thinks she’s up to something. Kyle informs Claire that Audra is going to work with Sally, so she’ll be less interested in causing trouble and more concerned with her job. He also tells her that there was nothing real between him and Audra. Claire insists that Audra is obsessed with him and is not going to give up on him anytime soon. Kyle counters that as relationships go, the only person she misses is Nate, who was the only one who ever cared about her. Kyle admits that he’s a little jealous that Claire went on a trip to LA with Holden again.  Claire mentions that Holden is lying to her and keeping secrets, so she no longer wants to be associated with him.
Audra is at Crimson Lights, finishing up a Spectra-Charles Media business call, when Holden enters. They sit down and discuss his trip with Claire to LA.  He assures her that there’s no reason to believe that Claire learned or knows anything else about what happened with them in LA. He tells Audra that Claire isn’t as obsessed with her as she thinks. Audra isn’t convinced. She also lets Holden know that Sally hired her to work at Spectra-Charles Media, so she doesn’t want Claire to mess that up. Holden tells Audra that Claire is done with him because she knows he was holding out on her. Audra says that Claire being out of his life is good riddance for both of them.
At the Newman ranch, Victoria tells Nikki that she is postponing going to see Summer in Italy, but she’s not giving up on the idea entirely. She also expresses worry about how Nick seems off and appears to be in a lot of pain. Nikki is concerned about Nick going after Matt Clark in the condition he’s in. They also discuss Phyllis’s takeover of their family legacy. Victoria is emphatic in her determination to get back everything that belongs to them.
Back at his place, Billy pulls out all the stops with pre-dinner snacks and champagne for Sally. She tries to resist his heartfelt plea to give him a second chance and win her back. When he tells her that he wants them to be open and honest, even about things they aren’t proud of, she opens up about her alcoholic father who was a big dreamer that would do anything to chase his dreams, only to fail repeatedly. She admits that it was difficult for her, growing up with him. She also tells Billy that she feels that he chose Chancellor over her. He counters that wanting Chancellor doesn’t change the way he feels about her, that he loves her and still sees them building a life together. He gets out a pen and writes, “I love you” in her palm, just like she had done with him in Nice, and they kiss.

Young and the Restless Opinion Article

 

Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Noah (Lucase Adams) on "Young and the Restless" on CBS/Paramount+ (screencap)

Article written by Barbara 3/1/26

Here is what I liked and disliked about Y&R for the week of 2/23/2026 (just my humble opinions, no particular order, just random musings)

Raves: 👍

I really, really enjoyed the light, flirty banter between Audra and Noah at the GCAC bar, reminiscing about their time together in London and chatting. Talk about chemistry – these two have it in spades! Noah was energized and grinning; he sparkled when he and Audra were chatting… a stark contrast to how he comes across like a misguided puppy dog chasing after old lady Sienna, who IMHO has no appeal whatsoever. The way Noah looked at Audra during the friendly and flirty part of their conversation, the gleam in his eyes … nice.

Too bad it went south with Noah and Audra after she told him she got a job as co-CEO of Spectra-Charles Media (the re-branded Newman Media, which was stolen from Noah’s Uncle Adam), because I could easily have gotten behind these two as a couple.

Audra, Noah and Kyle, the three of them hanging out at the GCAC bar … 😁

I like Victoria and Nate together. He gets her.
Jack taking digs at Victor had me literally LOL. 🤣

I like how they incorporated the actor, Michael Graziadei (Daniel), who plays the guitar in real life into his character’s storyline. Added bonus – his character’s father and quasi-girlfriend both being musicians on-screen and in real life.

Lauren looked beautiful in the dress she was wearing on Friday’s episode. Very pretty haircut and color, too.

So nice to see another pair of women best friends – Phyllis and Lauren. In fact, that same day, they showcased both sets of women BFF’s – Phyllis/Lauren and Sally/Audra.

Rants: 👎

I’m tired of Victor’s evasiveness with Nikki/his wife. It’s getting old and making her come off like a nag (about his continuing to keep her out of the loop regarding his secretive efforts to reclaim Newman Enterprises).

Sienna and Noah are back together. Ugh. She has moved from LA to Genoa City to be with him, and I had to look away from the screen each time they leaned in to kiss. 🤢 She has not zero, but negative appeal. I cannot stand the way she talks and looks. Must admit, I enjoyed seeing the frown on Nick’s face when Sienna mentioned that she decided to live in Genoa City and be with his son.

Detective Cardboard, oops, Detective Burrow, was back on the scene, telling Nick, Sharon, Noah and Sienna that he can’t do anything to help them with Matt being released from jail and out on the loose, since Matt was let go legally, on a technicality. Fine with me, because I’d much rather watch Nick and the Newmans deal with Matt than Detective Useless. I couldn’t believe what they had him say – he appeared to be addressing Nick when he said that although he would normally caution against taking the law into his (referring to Nick) own hand, in this case, it might be his (Nick’s) only choice. What a waste of air space this character is and the actor who plays him is a dud. Pair the detective with Sienna and send them back to LA together.

The dress Phyllis wore for her first day in her office at her newly acquired Newman Enterprises was beautiful, but it wasn’t appropriate for a C-Suite. (It looked perfect on her at the GCAC dining room, where Lauren took her for a fancy, celebratory breakfast.)

The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Lauren: Wow. I’m not sure I’m ever going to get used to the sight of you behind Victor Newman’s desk.
Phyllis: Well, this is my desk now. It’s mine. And if you’ve come to, uh, read me the riot act, really, you can leave.
Lauren: Now, what on earth would I do that for?
Phyllis: I don’t know. Because you’re empty handed. You don’t have flowers or champagne or anything. Et tu, Brute?
Lauren: Oh, we’re quoting The Bard, now?
Phyllis: Well, yeah. I mean, Victor quoted Shakespeare, so I figure I can do whatever I want. But really, I – I’m so tired of character assassinations by people who are triggered by my success. So …
Lauren: Well, then … let me rewrite Julius Caesar for you. I have not come to bury you. I have come to praise you.
Phyllis (sitting with Lauren in the GCAC dining room, shouting): Breakfast for everyone! Breakfast on me. (Lowers voice) They can eat their hearts out.
Lauren: (laughs)
Billy: That sounds great. I’ll take a side of bacon.
Lauren: Oh. Hello, Billy.
Phyllis: You look happy, Billy.
Billy: Well, I’m just happy to see you two beautiful women here together, although I am surprised that you’re here together.
Lauren: Why? We’ve been friends forever.
Billy: Yeah, I know, but you’re also married to Michael Baldwin, so the fact that you are here together could mean one of two things. You’re either in the process of chastising her for the coup that she just pulled off, or maybe you’re actually happy that she was the one that screwed Victor over because of the amount of times that he screwed Michael over in the past. She’s the one to make it happen. Maybe you’re okay with that.
Phyllis: Lauren is the only one who’s not passing judgment on me.
Billy: Hey, now, I was on board from the get-go.
Lauren: Well, of course you were all for it. Everybody knows you hate Victor Newman and probably jumped at the chance to be part of his demise.
Billy: Honestly, I had nothing to do with it. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Billy: So this is just the two of you being gal pals? I’m supposed to believe you’re not using your decades-long friendship to try and convince Phyllis that she made a mistake?
Lauren: Oh. That’s a page out of your playbook, Billy, not mine. I’m not that devious. Especially with my friends. And Phyllis is a very important friend to me, whether you believe it or not.
Phyllis: Phyllis is right here.
Billy: I’m very much aware of that. I would say proceed with caution where your friends and enemies are concerned because I’m sure they’re coming at you at all angles. Don’t cave under the pressure. Don’t let anyone convince you you don’t deserve this. You’ve come way too far to have someone talk you out of your success now. Good to see you.
Audra: Sharing so much as a stick of gum with him is a huge mistake and something you should avoid at all costs.
Sally: Okay, you make it sound like I lose all sense of myself when I’m around him.
Audra: This so-called dinner can only go one of two ways. Either he convinces you to get back with him, and you’ll end up back on that roller coaster you swore you were done riding. Or you’ll stand your ground, in which case he won’t take no for an answer. And if that happens, you two adults could end up being anything but civil.
Sally: There’s no way I’m letting Billy talk me into getting back together with him, okay? I made it very clear to him, and now to you, I am moving forward.
Phyllis: This is the way I see it. This is my last chance, Lauren. This is quite possibly my only chance to change my life. For the better. Do you understand what I’m saying? Maybe do something good in the world. It’s incredible to me that I am the villain and the Newmans are the victims in my dastardly deeds. That’s how people see it. The Newman family, no matter what crisis befalls them, they come out on top. I mean, I can’t believe doing what I did has affected my friends and family the way it has, that they wanna alienate me. These are the same people who chastised me for going toe to toe with Victor Newman and winning, and I won – I won, Lauren. Nobody has been able to do that. And I did it. But somehow I’m alone because of it. I’m the town pariah? I am? Really? Listen, if that means I have to go solo, fine. If that’s my only option, so be it – I don’t care.
Lauren: I’m – I’m so sorry, and if there’s anything … that I can do to help you, just you say the word, okay?
Phyllis: Maybe there is.
Lauren: Name it.
Phyllis: Come work for me.
Lauren: I’m so flattered and, uh, touched by the offer. I – You know, I think I’m content where I am right now.
Phyllis: Mm. Is that really contentment that you feel?
Lauren: Well, as opposed to what?
Phyllis: As opposed to complacency, maybe? You know, to be honest, you’re due for an adventure, you know, something besides picking out wedding dresses for the Bug, you know, while beautiful, but still, putting together bachelorette parties. You’re better than that. Come work for me. Just think about it just a bit. But don’t let Michael talk you out of this, please. But imagine us together. We could take over the world.

Victor (Eric Braeden) on "The Young and The Restless" on CBS/Paramount+ (screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Victoria (to her father/Victor): Can I ask you exactly what is it that you object to? Do you think it’s not gonna work, or are you upset that I’m willingly not gonna sit and watch you fix everything?
Phyllis: You know what? I’m done. I’m done. I’m going to the door. Press your little button thingy, and tell Shrek to get out of the way.
Cane: You are not going anywhere until I get what I want.
Phyllis: It’s about love. It was all about love. Profound.
Cane: I can’t give up on – on three people that I love most in my life. I just can’t. All that time I didn’t know where Lily and my kids were … and I was fearing for their safety … I realized that … the only time I’ve ever felt whole was when we were together. As a family. When we were happy. I felt like the richest, smartest, most powerful man in the world when my kids would come to me and ask for advice. Or support. I miss hugging them. I miss hearing them tell me they love me.
Phyllis: I get it. It’s about love, right?
Cane: Family is everything. Love is everything. And there’s no amount of … power or wealth or even vindication that’s worth losing all of that. Is there, Phyllis?
Victor (to Victoria): Sweetheart, I can assure you, if Matt Clark shows his damn face again, he’ll sign his own death warrant.
Sharon: The problem is, thinking that Matt would want to avoid another confrontation – that’s rational. But Matt is not rational. Nick and I know. He thrives on hand-to-hand combat.
Nick: Sharon’s right. It might take years. It might take decades. This guy always comes back.
Sharon: And if his actions so far are any indication, this go-round, he’s not wasting any time.
Sienna: Look, I really wanna believe that Matt is gonna play it safe, and he’s gonna go back to hiding under that rock that he slithered out from under, but … I think that Sharon’s right. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve got the stomach to handle another showdown with that despicable man.
Sharon: Take that feeling and multiply it tenfold, and that’s about scratching the surface of how Nick and I feel.
Detective Burrow: I don’t know. Matt got extremely lucky getting his case thrown out. You really think he’s stupid enough to return to the scene of the crime, do something to get himself locked up again?
Noah: I’ve gotta think that he’d think twice before taking that risk.
Nick: You all need to stop assuming that this guy is going to make the smart move. He’s not gonna do that. It’s not who he is. He’s a relentless psycho. He will be back. It’s just a matter of when.
Cane: Don’t you agree, Phyllis, that … all the power and wealth in the world isn’t worth it if you lose the only people you love in this life?
Phyllis: Yeah. Love and family are the only things that matter, right? You sound like Victor Newman. Ohh. Except he’s full of hot air and, um, look at how unhinged he is by – by losing all the power and money he could ever want.

Nate (Sean Dominic) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) on "Young and the Restless" on CBS/Paramount+ (screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Victoria: I’m the lucky one. My favorite drink waiting for me.
Nate: You know, I was seriously considering peppermint hot chocolate, but you sounded like you needed some fortification.
Victoria (takes a sip from a glass of red wine): You’re a wise man.
Jack: Victor! How’s that short game coming along these days?
Victor (chuckling): I don’t have time for this.
Jack: I haven’t seen you in awhile – not that I’ve missed you. I just assumed you’d flown south with the rest of the snowbirds to enjoy the links, you know, the fresh air, the ocean breezes.
Victor (chuckling): Let me ask you something, Jack. Have you lost your mind? I mean … you seem to be more of a blithering idiot than before.
Jack: Oh, golf’s not your game? Maybe you should try pickleball. I mean you got a lotta time on your hands now that you’ve lost Newman Enterprises. Tell me … how’s it feel to be retired?
Victor: I’ll leave the game playing to you and that punk brother of yours.
Jack: Good luck filling your day. Uh … shuffleboard may be more your game. (leaves)

Nikki: What was that all about?

Victor: Jack Abbott blowing smoke.
Jack: I live to make you happy.
Diane: Hmm. Well, then, can you make Victor and Nikki disappear?
Jack: Well I, for one, am very happy that Victor has crawled out from whatever rock he climbed under. That way I can rub salt in his self-inflicted wounds and, to tell the truth, I really like doing it.
Diane: I know you’re not one to take pleasure in other people’s misfortunes.
Jack: But in Victor’s case, I’m willing to make an exception. No, I enjoy watching him toppled from his self-made throne, especially since that fall happened through the same means he intended to use to destroy me.
Diane: Well, as long as he stays down this time. That man has more lives than a cat.
Jack: That is the rub, isn’t it?
Diane: Yeah.
Jack: Every time he’s down, no matter how hopeless, he seems to get back up, and I don’t know… better positioned than when it all started.
Diane: Well, it’s beyond infuriating.
Jack: Yeah. I would admire that quality in anyone else. In Victor, I find it nauseating.
Diane: It’s just seeing Victor and Nikki out and about in a public place looking so satisfied. I can’t — I can’t help but be suspicious.
Jack: It’s a weak attempt to maintain appearances. Victor is never going to admit defeat. In fact, we’ll probably bury that bastard with that “never say die” look on his face.
Nikki (standing in front of the long mirror in the GCAC ladies’ room, next to Diane, as the two women freshen their make-up): You followed me in here for a reason, so why don’t you just say what you wanna say?
Diane: Fine. I want you to stop using the tragedy your husband brought on you and your family as a way to score sympathy points with mine. Now, Jack might offer you some compassion because he’s kind and decent and obviously patient, but you really need to find another shoulder to cry on.

Nikki: Mm. Why are you so threatened?

Diane: Oh. I’m not threatened. I’m just tired of constantly finding poor, sniveling Nikki every time I turn around.
Nikki: Of course you feel threatened, Diane. Jack and I have been very close for a very long time, and I haven’t put him through a fraction of the agony you have over the years, which makes me think maybe you have serious doubts that you are capable of holding onto a man that you don’t deserve.
Nikki: I’m not the one who’s so insecure I need to accost someone in the ladies’ room.
Diane: Oh, I’m just freshening up. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to stay away from my husband.
Nikki: Ah, well, that will never happen because Jack and I share a very special bond, something that you don’t understand or ever could.
Diane: No, it could happen if you would stop playing “damsel in distress” at every turn.
Nikki: I don’t go looking for sympathy from my dear friend. He just gives it to me.
Diane: (scoffs)
Nikki: That’s what friends do, but you wouldn’t know anything about that because you don’t have any. Oh. And that lip color? Not one of Jabot’s best. (exits)
Nate: I’m just trying to minimize that pain by encouraging you to think of other ventures that might give you equal satisfaction.
Victoria (laughs): Such as?
Nate: I don’t know, um … maybe you have an idea of starting your own company? Or maybe you wanna go in a completely different direction. Have you … seen yourself as a professor? Taking after Cole?
Victoria: What? In a classroom full of students teaching (laughs) Business 101? No. No, thank you.
Nate: Okay, uh, maybe, I don’t know, what did you wanna be when you were a kid?
Victoria: A CEO.
Nate: Oh. What?
Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: Uh, say, what about a dancer?

Victoria: Mm. Two left feet.
Nate: A singer?
Victoria: Tone deaf. Don’t say cook, either, because you know I can’t cook. I can bake chocolate chip cookies, but that’s baking.
Nate: You win for now. I’m just trying to open your mind to other possibilities.
Victoria: Understood. And I appreciate that. But right now, I’m focusing all of my energy on succeeding. I want Newman Enterprises back, and I’m gonna get it.
Jack: Oh, would you look at that. The façade has already crumbled. I guess Victor got some bad news. (chuckling) Couldn’t happen to a more deserving son of a bitch.

Noah (Lucas and Adams) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) on "Young and The Restless" on CBS/Paramount+ (from screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Audra: So, are you back in Genoa City for good?
Noah: Ooh, that is a question I don’t have an answer for. My family’s going through a lot. I’m here to support them. And once everything gets back to our version of normal, I’ll figure it out then.
Audra: You and umbrellas. How many did you lose? Like a dozen? More? Every single time it rained, you’d start with an umbrella in hand, but somehow, by the end of the day, you just managed to lose it.
Noah: Yeah. I guess I always thought of them as a single use kind of thing, you know? Once the sun came out, what was the point?
Victoria: I’m going to use Summer’s unhappiness against Phyllis.
Nick: Well, you’re gonna have a lot to work with.
Victoria: That’s it? That’s all you got?
Nick: Yeah.
Victoria. Okay, um, who are you … and what did you do with my brother?
Audra: Maybe I just like Champagne.
Noah: Well, that would be new for you. At least from what I remember, and when we were together in London, you only drank vodka, and it had to be ice cold.
Audra: Oh, good memory.
Noah: Yeah, hard to forget. You took me to a bar that the walls were literally frozen so we could enjoy our shots in sub-zero temps. Yeah, I nearly froze everything off that night.
Audra: Yeah, well, I don’t remember you complaining at the time.
Noah: I was having too much fun.
Audra: You know, I think you liked it a little because you ended up moving to a place that gets even colder than that.
Audra: Now, the only toasts I believe in are the ones I make to myself. (Takes a sip of champagne) To me.
Kyle (to Noah): I heard you were back. It’s good to see you. And the accident – I was actually in LA when it happened.
Noah: Oh, you were? What brought you to LA?
Audra: He was stalking his ex.
Kyle: Business.
Kyle: How’s Nick doing? How are you doing? You look great considering.
Noah: I’m back to 100%. My dad’s, you know, on the mend, getting better every day.
Kyle: Hey, hey, cheers to that. (Looks over at Audra) You gonna sit this one out?
Audra: Feel free to enjoy your drink somewhere else.
Noah: So you have no problem with my family being destroyed?
Kyle: Well, what’s happening to Victor is exactly what he swore he was gonna do to my family. And it’s not like he hasn’t threatened or hurt half this town, so … yeah, I’m good.
Noah: Yeah. This isn’t just Victor being affected.
Kyle: Oh, you mean his little attack dog Adam? Again, no tears.
Noah: Look, I know my grandfather has stepped on more than a few toes.
Audra: You think?
Kyle: That’s the understatement of the century.
Audra: It’s so quaint-sounding, like a bad dance partner.
Audra: The only crime here was that it took so long for karma to kick in. Victor and Adam have gotten exactly what they deserve.
Kyle: Yeah, those two being knocked down to size has been a long time coming. The number of people in this town that would celebrate … there might even be a parade.
Kyle: Just saying that Victor and Adam had it coming, and it’s poetic that Billy helped light the torch.
Noah: So no big deal that the entire family’s been gutted, my grandfather’s lost his life’s work, my family’s lost their legacy?
Kyle: Eh, Nikki can sell some jewelry. The Newmans will be dandy.
Audra: (in a hushed tone, talking to Kyle, quoting Kyle’s words back to him): “Nikki can sell some jewelry”?!
Kyle (laughs): Too far?
Audra: Classic.
Audra: Weird.
Kyle: What?
Audra: It’s almost like we’re on the same side.

Interview with the cast of “The Gray House”

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

 

Banner for "The Gray House" on Prime

Interview with Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, Hannah James, Rob Morrow, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Sam Trammell, and Keith David of “The Gray House” on Prime by Suzanne 2/4/26

I really enjoyed speaking with the actors from this entertaining miniseries. Head, Davis and James star in this story, which focuses on strong women in Richmond, Virginia, before the Civil War as they fight for freedom and against bigotry and misogyny of all kinds. Morrow plays a Jewish lawyer/senator; McDonald plays a Pinkerton spy; Trammell plays Jefferson Davids; and David is an eloquent pastor who travels around, inspiring blacks.  It’s a large, talented cast.

I loved watching Rob Morrow in his previous roles, especially “Northern Exposure” and “Numb3rs.”  Sam Trammel was one of my favorites in “True Blood.”  Christopher McDonald and Keith David are TV/movie legends that I’ve interviewed a few times before. I’m very happy to interview with the women, who lead this action-packed miniseries. I wish I could have a longer interview with Daisy Head, but it would probably be embarrassing because her father is Anthony Head, whom I adored so much in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer!” 🙂 I hope you enjoy it! It begins today, Feb. 26, on Prime.

Y&R Short Recap Monday, February 23, 2026

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

 

Y&R logo

Recap written by Barbara

Noah joins Audra at the GCAC bar, where they reminisce about their time together in London and chat. Things are very friendly and light between them, until she mentions that she just got her dream job and is now working for Spectra-Charles Media. Noah is appalled because this company is the re-branded Newman Media, which Billy Abbott stole from his uncle, Adam. Noah is incredulous and asks Audra how she is okay working for an illegally-obtained company.

Kyle saunters up to the bar and joins their conversation, curious to hear Audra’s answer to Noah’s question. Audra says that she has not broken any laws because she was not involved in what happened to Newman Media. She explains that Billy struck some deal with Phyllis to get Newman Media and Chancellor, and then he had her fold Newman Media into Abbott Communications. He then moved to Chancellor and gave it to Sally. Kyle sides with Audra, indicating that he’s “good” with Victor and the Newman family losing their company, given the bad history between his family and Victor, and how Victor has threatened or hurt half the town. Kyle also indicates that he’s okay with Adam losing Newman Media and the loss of the Newman legacy. He laughingly says that Nikki can sell some jewelry and the Newmans will be “dandy.”

Chelsea runs into Sally at Crimson Lights, where they argue about Billy teaming up with Phyllis. Chelsea tries in vain to persuade Sally to side with her, to protect Billy and get him to do the right thing – returning the company to the Newman family. She’s concerned about Victor and Adam seeking revenge on Billy. Sally mentions that she broke up with Billy and re-branded the company to Spectra-Charles Media. She refuses to help Chelsea and walks out on her.

Nick and Victoria are at the Newman Ranch, discussing Phyllis’s takeover of Newman Enterprises. Victoria presents her plan to get Newman Enterprises back, telling Nick she is going to Milan soon to talk face-to-face with Summer, to get her to turn her back on Phyllis. She hopes this is a way to get Phyllis to ultimately cave and give the company back to Victor and the family. Nick is against Victoria’s plan because he believes that Victor will prevail, and he does not want his daughter being involved in the family conflict and becoming alienated from her mother. He declines Victoria’s request for him to come with her to Milan to talk to Summer. He instead persuades her to hold off for the night, so he can try to come up with another solution that would protect Summer and keep her out of the line of fire.

Young and the Restless Opinion Article

 

Danny (Michael Damian) and Chris (Lauralee Bell) wedding photo on Y&R CBS (from press site)

Article written by Barbara 1/22/26

Here is what I liked and disliked about Y&R for the week of 2/16/2026 (just my humble opinions, no particular order, just random musings)
Raves: 👍
I like Danny and Christine. Nice, solid couple.
Joshua Morrow continues his brilliant portrayal of the excruciating pain his character Nick is experiencing from the leg he broke in the car accident. Seeing him wincing, hobbling with a cane, practically collapsing on the patio of Crimson Lights, and then barely making it onto a chair inside the coffee house… I could almost feel his labored breathing and pain.
Sally’s breakup with Billy was well done. It was quite sad.😢 That said, IMHO, their break-up is ultimately for the best. It seemed to become a dead-end relationship and was annoying.
Nikki’s white top is beautiful. She looks stunning in it.
Love how Adam calls his father “Pops”. 😁
Rants: 👎
Abby’s face is spray-tanned again (or maybe just too heavy on the makeup). Same for Christine. IMHO, both women look very unattractive, especially because they are blondes with naturally fair complexions.
The show needs to stop with the talking *about* Connor and start *showing* him. Adam and Chelsea have expressed being aware that Connor has a crush on a girl, his first, and with him having OCD, the extremely talented young boy who plays Connor would do a wonderful job in a story-line built around these things. There’s no point mentioning something potentially significant and interesting, only to have it seem to be filler dialogue.

Cane (Billy Flynn) on the phone 2/20/26 on Y&R on CBS (screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Cane (on the phone talking to Phyllis): So, why the radio silence? Hmm? I expected you to be in my face doing a victory dance. Phyllis Summers pulls off the coup that no one saw coming. Including me. Ha. Well, you made your play. You got what you wanted. You pissed off a lot of people in the process. But I’m sure that makes you happy to hear. You always loved getting under people’s skin, which is why, uh, I don’t understand the disappearing act. It’s not like you to pass up a chance to gloat when you’re winning, and you win big, Phyllis.
Nate: Okay, that is about enough, Billy.
Billy: Yeah, Nate, you’re trying to be the knight in shining armor? Well, don’t, okay? ‘Cause this is not your fight, so stay the hell out of it.
Victoria: I could always call the school and explain why I’m taking this action. I can imagine the sympathy and understanding that I’ll get from the board when they find out that you’re being criminally investigated for participation in the theft of my father’s company.
Billy: You would sink that low, huh?
Victoria: I would do whatever it takes to protect my kids. And when I’m through with you, you’ll be lucky if they let you chaperone a field trip to the zoo.

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Billy: You know, Jack, if you wanted to wish me well, I’d have preferred a fruit basket instead of you making a personal appearance.
Jack: This is a big day for you, I hear. I wouldn’t wanna miss it.
Billy: Let me ask you a question. Are you concerned about me? Or are you just pissed off that I’m the Abbott that bested Victor Newman?
Nikki: I didn’t realize you would be here already. I had hoped to have a last few moments in my office alone.
Billy: Well, no rest for the wicked.
Nikki: Oh, I couldn’t have put it better:
Billy (talking about Jack): Oh, Nikki. I think he likes you better than me.
Nikki: Well, who could blame him? At this moment, I would prefer anybody other than you.
Noah (to his father): We want you back to your old self. Emphasis on “old.”

Billy (Jason Thompson) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) on Y&R 2/17/26 (screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Billy (after Nick barges into his home): Jeez, Nick. Where are your manners? Don’t you know you’re supposed to knock before you get invited into someone’s house?

Nick: I don’t need an invitation, you son of a bitch. All rules went out the window when you decided to mess with my family.

Adam: I shouldn’t be surprised that Billy would want to add Newman Media to his list of treasures. Makes sense that he would take the easy win.

Adam: When Phyllis double-crossed Cane and kept Newman Enterprises for herself, she screwed over four generations of Newmans, including her own daughter. I mean, you almost gotta admire the sheer audacity of it.

Sally: I don’t admire it at all.

Adam: Yes, well you have a soul and conscience. Something that is in short supply at the top of the new masthead.

Billy: You don’t look so good. Your leg still bothering you?

Nick: Go to hell.

Billy: Well, your father could tell me how to get there, huh? If he could afford a map.

Nick: You keep talking and you’re gonna be spitting a bunch of teeth out of your mouth.

Billy: Sorry. Is that supposed to be frightening to me?

Nick: We’ll see. Just keep talkin’.

Billy: Don’t embarrass yourself, Nick. The only blows in this fight have already landed, and they knocked you and the rest of the Newmans on your ass, which as far as I’m concerned – long overdue.

Nick: Wait – you think you’ve won?

Billy: I think it appears that way, yeah.

Nick: It’s not even round one, you idiot. You’re not gonna have time to print up new business cards by the time we’re done with you.

Nick: Your mother sold Chancellor to my father and now you won’t rest until you get it back, and it doesn’t matter how you do it or who you hurt to get there.

Billy: You’re damn right. And let me tell you something, it feels good.

Nick: You know, I actually like this Billy – you being honest. I mean, look at you  You’re hurt. So you’re lashing out like a little three-year-old.

Nick: You going after Chancellor isn’t a business move, all right? It’s a temper tantrum from a spoiled brat.

Billy: Oh, are we sinking to name-calling now, Nick? Are we about to fight?

Nick: Say when.

Billy (to Nick, who is recovering from a broken leg and hobbling with a cane and leaning on his good leg): Oh yeah? You want me to hop around on one leg to make it fair?

Nick: You think that’s funny?

Billy: No, I think it’s sad. And it’s embarrassing.

Y&R Short Recap Monday, February 16, 2026

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

 

Y&R logo

Recap written by Barbara

Abby and Devon are happily back home with Dominic, who is upstairs playing. Tessa comes over and they talk about how well Dominic is doing after Mariah kidnapped him. Tessa theorizes that Ian caused Mariah’s breakdown and is optimistic and hopeful that Mariah will recover, as is Devon. Abby, on the other hand, is concerned about Aria being around Mariah, possible trauma for Dominic from being kidnapped and blames the facility in Boston for failing Mariah.
After Tessa leaves, Devon and Abby discuss the mystery surrounding Lily being MIA and Abby expresses her rage toward Mariah for taking their son. Abby starts freaking out about Mariah’s recent and previous behaviors regarding Dominic and about possible long term adverse effects on Dominic and Devon calms her down.
Christine and Sharon bring Mariah to Crimson Lights after her arraignment, where Christine reviews the rules of her release on bail and explains that it was based on her honesty and remorse in the psych evaluation, staying in Sharon’s custody and her plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Mariah is very subdued and says she wants to go back to the judge and change her plea to guilty because she knew what she was doing when she took Dominic. Christine advises her not to do it. Mariah rebuts and tells Christine and Sharon about planning and carrying out the kidnapping of Dominic. She explains that she was having hallucinations of deceased Ian at the clinic but did not tell her doctors there because her hallucinations of him helped her with loneliness. She also mentions that her hallucinations of Ian guided her to kidnap Dominic and raise him. Sharon asks if Ian is there now and Mariah lets her know that he is not, he disappeared. Sharon explains that what Mariah experienced is childhood trauma and PTSD and assures her that they will find the right team of doctors and treatment for her to heal.
Tessa enters Crimson Lights, Christine leaves, and Tessa asks for a moment alone with Mariah. After Sharon agrees and goes to the back room, Mariah says Tessa must hate her and Tessa explains that she hates what Mariah went through and she hates that Mariah has been in so much pain and she couldn’t help. Mariah asks how Aria is and Tessa assures her that their little daughter is fine and thriving. Mariah asks if Daniel did as she asked and watched over Tessa. Tessa tells her that Daniel has been a wonderful friend. Mariah lets Tessa know that her mom (Sharon) told her that Tessa filed for divorce. Mariah says that Tessa doesn’t need her chaos and that Tessa needs to move on with her life with Aria. Tessa counters that Mariah doesn’t ask her what she needs and Mariah explains that she doesn’t have to ask because she already knows and so does Tessa. Tessa says she can see that Mariah needs her, starts to cry about how Mariah just keeps pushing her away, expresses how hurt she is, and leaves.
Daniel and Danny are at GCAC discussing the situation with Mariah and Tessa. Daniel tells his father that Tessa filed for divorce from Mariah, but things are now uncertain between him and Tessa because Mariah is back in the picture and needs Tessa. He thinks Tessa will stick by Mariah, but Danny isn’t so sure. Danny is concerned about the complications of Daniel’s romantic involvement with Tessa and their feelings for each other, but acknowledges that they have something special. Christine comes over, mentions that Mariah is out on bail and lets Daniel know that Tessa went to Crimson Lights to see Mariah. Daniel asks how Tessa and Mariah seemed to be, then says that he should probably just go to try to find Tessa. Danny and Christine encourage him to do that and he leaves.
Sharon and Mariah come to the Chancellor mansion, where Sharon lets them know that Mariah was released into her care. Abby is furious and rages at Mariah. Mariah apologizes for taking Dominic, lets Abby and Devon know that she realizes he belongs with them and expresses her hope that one day Abby can forgive her. Abby is outraged, tells Mariah to leave and says that she never wants her around her son again.
Daniel meets up with Tessa in front of Society and she sobs as he hugs her. She tells him that she doesn’t know what to do and he says they will figure it out together.

Young and the Restless Opinion Article

 

Adam (Mark Grossman) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) on "The Young and The Restless" week of 2/9/26 on CBS (pic from screencap)

Article written by Barbara 2/13/26

Here is what I liked and disliked about Y&R for the week of 2/9/2026 (just my humble opinions, no particular order, just random musings)

Raves: 👍

I really liked seeing the three Newman siblings – Adam, Nick and Victoria – united in their goal to save their family legacy. They quibble but are strong and allied.

There was a well-done scene at the Newman ranch showing Abby on speaker phone with her father (Victor), giving an update on Dominic’s kidnapping, while the rest of the Newman family was in the living room listening. Nikki and each of the siblings chimed in with moral support for Abby. I think it’s important to continue to show Abby being an integral part of the Newman family, even though she is not involved in the family business that has its own separate front burner storyline. Good job of juggling and intertwining these two distinct front burner Newman family storylines.

The happy scenes with Mariah and Dominic in the diner were really good. I enjoyed their rapport. Actually made me smile.

In stark contrast, in subsequent intense scenes, the little boy playing Dominic did a phenomenal job portraying his character’s frustration, impatience, annoyance and defiance with Mariah taking him on a long, mysterious road trip, her insisting that they continue to play hide-and-seek while he kept expressing his desire to go home and be with his parents. He held his own with the Emmy award winning, very experienced actress playing Mariah when their two characters were arguing.

The reunion of Dominic with his parents was very heartwarming. Gave me chills, as did Mariah crying and being comforted by her own mother.

Holden is so handsome.

Love Claire’s long, curly hairstyle

Valentine’s Day couples: 👍 ♥️ to Adam and Chelsea, Jack and Diane

Rants: 👎

Billy’s hair… LOL. It’s probably a popular contemporary men’s hairstyle, but IMHO, he looks like he just woke up.

Can’t stand Detective Burrow, which I attribute to the way he is being portrayed. IMHO, the person playing this character can’t act his way out of a paper bag. No charisma, no energy. Unfortunately, he does nothing to instill confidence in his character, who is in law enforcement.

Stupid, meaningless, what-was-the-point scenes with Audra and Kyle at the bar in Society.

Valentine’s Day couples: 👎 to Sally and Billy, Sienna and Noah (reunited in love in LA, but this couple is such a mis-match)

Adam (Mark Grossman) and Cane (Billy Flynn) on Y&R Feb. 12, 2026 (from screencap)

 

Best Lines provided by Barbara

Billy: How much chloroform did you actually use on Cane, Phyllis?

Phyllis: Uh, I used the recommended dosage that said when you wanna take out one of your enemies.

Billy: Oh, that’s very funny, smart ass.
Phyllis: I’m not gonna screw you over. I’m not gonna do that. You know why? Because accomplishing something like this, this kind of triumph, it’s way more fun with a partner in crime.
Billy: Happy to be included. Chancellor’s always been a dream, and Newman Media’s a … chef’s kiss.
Jack: It sucks the air right out of my lungs when I stop to think about what could have happened when Jordan had Harrison.
Jack: Is there news on the Victor/Cane war front?
Nikki: There’s been movement. I don’t know if you’ve heard.
Jack: Catch me up, uh, and and we’ll see.
Nikki: As a countermeasure, Victor decided to find something that Cane valued so much that he would be willing to bargain for it.
Jack: So he had Cane’s train hijacked?
Jack: Oh my God. Cane could have held onto his company, he could have won his ex-wife back. But no, he had to out-Mustache Victor.
Jack: This damn AI! All the scheming and backstabbing! Let me be very clear. Victor made all this happen. All of it! And if he’s about to pay, that will bring me unbridled joy.
Phyllis (to Victoria) I have sole ownership of Newman Enterprises. [giggles] And I’m not letting my precious go.
Victoria (talking to Billy in what’s now Phyllis’s office, with her sitting at the desk): And somehow – somehow you think this doesn’t involve you?

Billy: Me? You’re talking to me now? I was just in the neighborhood and popped in to say hello.

Nikki: Can you just please set your anger aside for a moment?
Jack: Oh, I would love to set my anger aside for good. I’ve spent half my life with this! But when I see what his actions have done to you, it makes my blood boil. And all he’s ever had to do is stop! Stop playing king! Stop playing conqueror! Stop making everyone bend a knee! Just be a human being, for God’s sake!
Adam (to Victor about Phyllis): Wow, zero loyalty to Cane or anybody else. I’m … almost impressed.
Billy: I am freeing our children from being a cog in the Newman Enterprises machine, okay? They are gonna thank me one day.
Jack (to Nikki about Victor): Why not sit back and enjoy the rest of life instead of digging up trouble and trying to burn down the world and making your kids and you worry?
Billy: Victoria wants my kids to stay away from me. And it sounds like she meant all that, all because I went after Victor, the man who says he’s gonna put you in a grave and you’re left to wonder if that’s a metaphor or not. She thinks that psychotic man is a good parent, but she wants me to stay away from my kids?
Phyllis: Eh … Listen, Victoria is a self-righteous hypocrite. That doesn’t mean she’s gonna go through with it.
Phyllis: If my kids can forgive me for being quasi-dead, they can forgive me for anything.
