@Dylan

You can't post actually pages from SOD on here. Errol informed me not to do this. I was looking for his post from another thread but couldn't find it.

Oh [!@#$%^&*], my bad. 

Steffy will go to Europe w/ Kelly+Hayes to try to escape her grief & have therapy. But she longs for her husband & the family that she had. What's keeping Finn going on the path to recovery is someday seeing Stetfy & reuniting w/ hisfamily...So it's very much a love story even while they're apart and Jacqui is on maternity leave. And Jacqui is eager to work, so we do have a very special, very romantic summer planned for Steffy and Finn.

Sheila: is like a cat with nine lives and she's used up 16 of them, but she somehow has another handful in her hip pocket. So Sheila will be stirring the plot and blowing people's minds. She realizes that she's not a murderer & wants to get her son healthy and stay out of prison. She's going to pull every trick in the book to stay free and be near her family."

Deacon: "Deacon is going to take a new path and realize that he's a good person. He's going to find some love in his life this summer from an unexpected place."

Liam/Hope: "After a long time of struggling and perseverance, they're happy, so this is one of those rare moments where I can report we have a happy couple on BOLD! But there's always something around the corner and we have an interesting story coming in their direction,something that will challenge them as a couple. Not a love triangle, but something very unique."

B/R/T: Ridge is taking some time because he has the two wonderful ladies here and he also has to take into considerationSteffy and Thomas's feelings because this is a family that he loves. So Ridge is going to be making a decision about his future early in the summer, and we're going to see which way that falls."

Quinn/Carter/Paris/Zende/Grace: "Carter and Quinn have this undeniable chemistry, but he's never been married and he's determined to get into this next chapter of his life. He and Paris decide to make the leap together, so we're building to a Carter and Paris wedding.

And then you have Zende, a prince in waiting. As we move to the beautiful, dramatic wedding, Quinn has feelings for Carter and he's about to commit to his life to Paris, and Zende has feelings for Paris. It's a tangled web but it's going to be an entertaining story."

Eric/Donna: "Donna has always gotten Eric's heart racing, and she will continue to do that. However, he's wearing the ring that measures the beat of one's heart and Quinn is monito ing that closely. So, when she sees that every Wednesday afternoon his heart starts racing,she starts to wonder what's going on. So who ends up with Eric? We will soon find out."

Bill: "Bill has a story this summer with someone I think is very unexpected. Bill is at the right place at the right time and he's going to take his charm and his power and his good fortune and really make an imprint on this story coming up that we have this summer.

Thomas: "Thomas is an incredibly complex character and is working on getting his act together. Thomas is going to find love this summer, and maybe it's the kind of love that can take him to the next level, to be responsible and mature and leave his naughty ways behind him."

Xander/Sarah:
"She's fully Sarah, and
Gwen has been put away and they're finally in
a place to enjoy their happiness. But because
it's a soap opera, we have to give them a little
conflict. So there are some aftereffects of the
drugs that continue to become an issue for the
two of them. It doesn't really have to do with
her feelings for Xander, but it potentially will
grow into a bigger problem and impact anoth-
er big story that's happening on the show.

Eric/Nicole/Rafe:
"Nicole and Rafe got
engaged and we wonder if Nicole is com-
mitting to Rafe to put an end to any hopes
or dreams that she and Eric could possibly
reconcile. Roman urges Eric to tell Nicole
how he feels, but will he take his father's
advice and express himself to Nicole before
it's too late?"

Ciara/Shawn/Hope: "Ben and Ciara, who've
weathered the storm of the devil trying to take
their baby, are enjoying being new parents,
and are still reckoning with Clyde living with
them. A life-changing gift arrives from Hope
and it leaves them with a big decision to make
about their lives and their future."

Murder Mystery:
"If all that was not
enough, there's going to be a shocking murder
that will rock all of Salem. And the suspect list
is a mile long."
 

Johnny/Chanel/Allie:
"This has been the
story I have been wanting to tell with Chanel
since day one, this idea of boy and girl twins
in love with the same girl. With the devil
gone, we're back to where we were. It gets
to a point where Johnny and Allie are like,
'Look, we love you, but you gotta pick one
of us. So it becomes a story about who will
she choose?

Lani/Eli/Abe/Paulina: "We know that Abe
has his doubts about the legitimacy of the
story about Paulina shooting TR. And Eli
I knoWs that Lanis the Shooler and tell Lant
to keep quiet, but Lani's guilt continues to eat
away at her. She has visions of TR taunting
her about what she did, so we will wonder
if she's going to come clean. Meanwhile,
when Paulina finally makes bail, she and Abe
decide to get married and they don't want to wait. The wedding coincides with Juneteenth,
and we wanted to find a way to celebrate that.
So we're building toward this wedding, but
have Lani growing uneasy with keeping this secret.

Outside of the mob world, Sonny has to navigate his feelings for Nina and his love for his family.

The family has wanted to oust Valentin from ELO from the moment he managed to secure a majority stake in the company, but if Drew and Michael were to move to the forefront of the company, that would leave Ned on the outs.

medical professionals and has latched on to that. She believes there is a cut-and-dried medical explanationfor everything that she has done. But Finn and Laura are less convinced that the loss of Franco was the catalyst for her strange behavior in the last year."

The College Crowd: "Trina is in for a dramatic summer as her legal situation comes to a head. It will be a race against time for Spencer to unmask Esme as the villain that she is and exonerate Trina.

explore new directions their professional lives could take."

I am confused about this. You are not saying she is only staying a couple of months, right?
It is just that by the time he gave the interview they had already filmed two months worth of her return?

He said whenever this interview took place that Dianes return was a couple of months. Idk if it got extended or wherever.

And from all of that Josh still has a job! 

He'll probably always have a job. Unless he quits or dies. No one wants this job and I doubt cbs/sony care very much.

With Diane's return, Nikki will be relieved she didn't kill her but at the same time still want to kill her. It will be a slow simmer that will be building.
 

Nikki suppressing her urge to MURDER!

An interview with Josh where he reveals his plan for a different era in GC.
Diane is back for a couple of months (at least at the time this interview took place that's the plan).
It is being used to solidify the Abbott family. They were splintered and Josh wanted to bring them back together so they look into the family's history for unfinished business and they thought about bringing in another gen.
By resurrecting the character they wanted to tie her back to Abbotts since last incarnation she was more connected to Newmans.
Jack and his connection to Keemo was first half of mystery and now Diane. Also it's to cause conflict with Phyllis.

They didn't include alive Keemo in this because they didn't want the story to be predictable. If they reunited Jack and Keemo the question would be then what? That felt more like resolving the story than a new beginning. Allie instead is the new start of the story. There will be a lot of twists to this story that will come out.

For Allie through finding the Abbotts she finds herself. Then there is the element of why is she estranged from her mom? She'll come into this very cautiously and she'll have wonderful journey to take.

With Diane's return, Nikki will be relieved she didn't kill her but at the same time still want to kill her. It will be a slow simmer that will be building.
Diane won't only be mixing with Abbotts. Victor will have some choice words for her.
Josh was asked how will Diane feel with people not being happy with her return.
He says she will tune out the noise cause she just wants to make amends with her son. However silencing the noise and making amends with Kyle will be easier said than done.
The emotional aspect of the story will be Diane's desperate desire to make up for all those years to Kyle. Kyle will have to decide if he can forgive that. It will not be easy for him.
Was asked if she shed her troublemaker ways?
Josh says she wants to change for Kyle but has she really?
Josh has been working towards establishing three influential corporate arenas i.e. Newman/Locke and Chancellor with Hamilton/Winters, Jabot as the temple of power in GC. Now it will have real conflicts and battles. He defines Y&R as clash of the titans.
He believes this is what Katherine and Neil would have wanted as their legacies.
He turned Nate into a corporate suit because it will give him of a central role. If they're talking about clash of the titans a doctor won't fit into that and he wants Nate to be that.
He thinks the Sally and Adam dynamic is delicious.
There is more to come for those two and Chelsea is a wild card because Adam/her have a son, Chelsea doesn't like Sally so there's a lot to play there.
He was asked about Rey and Chelsea. He says it's going to get complicated and there will be unexpected turns lol.
Interviewer says cop and con woman would be interesting. Josh rebates reformed con woman at least for now.
Interviewer says now that Ashland has admitted his lie his days seem numbered no? Josh says this still has mileage, we don't know how much more. Never underestimate the power of love. That's all he'll say.
Ashland will bring up Victor's bad actions in the past. He will tell Vikki he did all these bad things but he fell in love with her.
RN direction with Ashland has spun the story even further than Josh expected. There's a lot more coming.
There's going to be twists to the Chance story that we don't see coming.

Another divorce for Sharon would be ridiculous. I say have Rey killed in the line of duty, and widowed Sharon rebuilds her life in the aftermath. Then she can turn to either Nick or Adam.

Could spice up the baby story if Chance has a (lack of better words) episode and gets his friend killed. Devon would want custody immediately.

But sigh, it's probably gonna be hope not tho

Nah I feel like it will be something much more mundane like Sharon finding out Rey and Chelsea had a one night stand and Sharon breaks up with Rey in some similar way she did with Scott and Rey leaves town.

Perhaps MCE is out next? I believe her own contract is coming up soon.

Alot of ppl this year. Mark Grossman, Mishael Morgan, Michelle stafford.

Quoting the first sentence of the SOD blurb: "Jordi Vilasuso will last air as Y&R's Rey later this spring".
That wording is vague.  Does the character leave? Or is the character being recast?

I don't think he's being recast? He said on his wifes podcast he just signed a 3 year contract but they let him go during that 13 week thing they have.

Galen Gering is awful.

Ik. I waa joking.

I liked Jordi in his heyday on GL and yes won the campy Fashion House but he just never felt right on Y&R, and definitely not since Mia left either. Rey & Sharon have been a snoozer since getting together. I mean it’s been nice to have Sharon mostly grounded again lately, Adam issues aside but overall Rey has been a sleepy character on a sleepy show. 
 

Is Rey completely out or are they going to recast?

I don't think they are recasting but, just get Galen Gering. You won't notice a difference.

Me too. 4 years too long.

It's just hard to believe when I go back to 2018-2019 and see how much the Rosales were given and now none are left.

8 minutes ago, Forever8 said:

I thought he was staying when they decided to put him Chelsea's sphere. But Jordi probably knows the writing is on the wall with his character. I take it either Rey is going to be killed off or he and Sharon will suddenly separate. 

I bet Chance somehow messes up and gets him killed.

Than nick can comfort a grieving Sharon.

Jordi is out as Rey.

Make the show an hour. Show 20 minutes on tv like always but the last half. (Cliffhangers and stuff) is exclusively on paramount plus.

SOD Jack and Diane

Diane reveals herself to Jack.

Jack returns to LA for a business trip and he and Allie meet at a cafe where their convo. begins to break down walls.

Peter speaking:

They're getting closer and Jack can feel it. After hearing his side of the story of how Keemo and him fell out Allie seems to be more understanding.

After they part Allie heads over to her father's former place which is now inhabited by a not so dead Diane who makes a special request. She wants to meet Allie's grandfather so Allie calls Jack and asks him to come to her dad's home which seems strange to Jack because he knows the place has been sold but he goes anyway.

Jack is happy to see Allie again but he's still wondering why he was summoned. She tells him the person who bought the house has been very nice to her and she asked if there's any chance she could meet Jack. Jack thinks it's odd and wants to know what's going on. Then he hears that voice.

He is stunned to see Diane standing before him and it's not pleasant reunion. Jack has a long history with her and it's unpleasant but more importantly she's alive. She explains she has a lot of years to face up to, the responsibility of all the mistakes she made and she needs to fix them. But it's Diane and she's not here to set things right. She wants something and Jack realizes what it is. She's using Jack's granddaughter to do it.

Jack was inching his way into Allie's life and Diane blows the whole thing up. He looks over to Allie who is shell shocked with the expression of what did she walk into? Get me out of here! and she leaves. She's scared and wants nothing to do with this.

Jack makes it clear to Diane this isn't happening. Phyllis later calls Jack to see how he's doing. He says he's fine but she hears something strange in his voice and decides to head to California.
