up and coming on Y&R

Jill plants a listening device under Tucker & Ashley's table to find out what they're up to.

She's wasted at RS. Jill needs to start her own PI service. She gets more info and faster than Paul, who can't even figure out Patti is talking about Emily's brother!

Lily sends her will and specifies that Mac & Cane share joint custody of the babies if Lily should die.

I know you can specify who you want to raise your BORN child, if you die, but would Lily really have any say in the matter IF she would die before the babies are actually born? And can she specify "joint custody"? Wouldn't that be the surviving parent's decision?

oh she's "special" alright

I about fell off the chair laughing when Ashley said to Tucker about Faith, "Yeah, she does this special thing where she waves her arms when she's really excited about something."

Yeah, her and twenty million other babies on this planet!

And what the hell gives with Daisy skulking around in a black hat and coat as if no one will recognize her? Once again Y&R rules in the "disguise" department.

Katherine's tax argument made no sense. Ok, if there IS a big tax bill for Jack and Victor, can't she simply reimburse them?

who's the boss?

Didn't take long for Billy to lose his balls, did it?

Just last week when he hired his mommy--great decision there, btw. Who doesn't want to work with a mother who thinks more of her "fake" son than her real son?--he told her that it was HIS magazine and HE made the decisions.

Took him what, three or four days to knuckle under and follow her orders about whether or not to run the Tucker story?

What a pussy.

out with the "old" in with the new

Yay, I'm all for a switch. Here's why I don't like him: he doesn't have the commanding presence of a big figure like Victor or Alan Spaulding. He's too meekish. I don't like him although I will admit, he seems to have good chemistry with Jess Walton.

Y&R Shocker: Stephen Nichols Replaces William Russ
by Michael Logan December 16, 2009 10:08 PM EST

That was fast. Actor William Russ, who hit The Young and the Restless December 2 as the Donald Trump-esque jillionaire Tucker McCall, has been ousted from the role and replaced by Days of Our Lives great Stephen Nichols (Patch). Nichols was due to begin taping December 17 and will appear on air January 27. The Y&R execs have kept their statements brief. Co-exec producer/head writer Maria Arena Bell says: “William Russ is a talented actor and we enjoyed working with him. However, we decided to take the character in another direction.” Adds co-exec producer Paul Rauch: “[Russ] did a wonderful job while he was here.”

Why the switch? Here’s my thought: Russ, known for his recurring roles on Boston Legal and The Ex List, has been giving a performance that seems strong enough, but it may be that the soap needed more superstar luster because Tucker will eventually be revealed to have a shocking (and we do mean shocking!) connection to a major (and we do mean major!) denizen of Genoa City. Check back here soon for an exclusive interview with Nichols.

i'm wondering...

A. How that cell phone could possibly be charged and working after all these months?

B. If Ashley is in cahoots with Tucker McCall?
