Deadline article contains spoilers. Decide to read or not depending on if you want to see spoilers. Non-spoiler info from deadline: DEADLINE: I want to jump right into a storyline that’s been so provocative — the one involving Martin [played by Brandon Claybon] and how he was attacked on that deserted country road. An offensive slur was used by his attackers. VAL JEAN: I decided to go down that road because I wanted to show something that happens that you’d never see on daytime. It happens. It’s like people being recast. It happens. I’m telling a story from the Black experience. A lot of it based around a Black family who is privileged and wealthy, but at the end of the day, they can still be accosted on the side of the road by racists. It’s shocking and I meant it to be very shocking, and I think production and the actors did an amazing job. It was controversial, but I don’t think controversial is wrong. It’s hard to be that right now. And so I give all credit to the network for standing behind it and believing in it. And as far as whether stories like that kind of live on in the psyche of this world that I’ve created, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some repercussions down the line. Martin still has a lot of healing to do because he’s sublimated so much of that because he had to. Nicole still has a lot to work out because she’s so angry at being left out, and she feels like she could have helped him and her role as a psychiatrist. Vernon and Anita, even though they felt like they did what they had to do at the time by covering it up, are now feeling the repercussions of that. Now another guy is dead and now they’re in debt to Joey Armstrong. So yeah, the tentacles do live on. DUCKSWORTH: The Martin storyline is just real. And that’s what we’re looking to give our viewers. Realness on every level. DEADLINE: Maryland is right next to DC. Will we ever know who their president is in this world? VAL JEAN: No. I want to stay away from politics in the show as much as I can with a Black congressman, but I want this show to be entertaining, not polarizing.

Yes and Deadline refers to the exiting writer as "Frank Carlivati". MVJ: Ron, Bob Guza and Chris Dunn all agreed to come on to help me launch the series. Now they’re off to do other things. There’s no animosity. I’m so grateful to have had their knowledge and their humor and their contribution, and I can’t say enough about them.

Cynthia Watros!

Sometimes it seems like they're using a Y&R model for their main public places. BTG: Fairmont Crest Country Club. Y&R: Genoa City Athletic Club main floor dining area. BTG: Uptown (bar) Y&R: the "Neil Winters Jazz Lounge". (Located in the Genoa City Athletic Club lower level) BTG: Orphey Gene's Soul Kitchen (diner) Y&R: Crimson Lights (coffee shop) Y&R: "Society" (restaurant) summertime set, some years, not every year: Y&R: "Dive Bar" (rooftop swimming pool atop the G.C. Athletic Club). BTG: I wonder if we will see a summertime set? Maybe next year? We know from character conversations that Bill and Dani once owned a summer residence on the beach in a nearby coastal area.

And Yolanda Hamilton on Y&R was alternately played by Chené Lawson and Debbi Morgan.

7/28/2025: Joshua Morrow on Shick. (indicating nothing much) https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/young-and-restlesss-joshua-morrow-on-nick-and-sharons-kiss-the-moment-felt-right-excl/

This wasn't supposed to be someone who felt hurt or disappointed. Kat described it as having no feelings, just flat/blah, and then wondering if there was something with herself. Exactly that. I mean the actress Colby was acting the words on the page. The character Kat was surprised at her own nothingness since she's usually fiery about life. I know we don't usually see that sort of thing on a soap. But it's a very real experience that many women have, and I appreciate it. I kind of like the contrast between Chelsea who is really into sex, and Kat's disinterest, provided they accept that about one another. It shows that there are a wide variety of ways of being human. And especially for women I think this is important. It can still be soapy as long as it's just one facet of Kat.

Oh I see where you're coming from. I just think the backstory is helpful to make the canvas more rich. When I know the backstory, I feel like I know more about who these characters are. But that's just me.

CBS foresaw this (or at least someone on the CBS promotional team, LOL) There was a full CBS network promo done on BTG's debut date Feb. 24, with stars from various CBS daytime and primetime series, all welcoming BTG to the network. This is an IG video -- Note: when Shemar is speaking from SWAT, the other frame on the page is Andre Richardson with his camera, doing a photoshoot of Chelsea Hamilton modeling https://www.instagram.com/cbstv/reel/DGd8YHrSXG3/ screengrab:

Billy Flynn interview from July 22 https://bsky.app/profile/tvdeeva.bsky.social/post/3lune6pbbic2y https://www.womansworld.com/entertainment/celebrities/billy-flynn-joins-young-and-the-restless-as-cane-ashby Quoting snippets: While this latest turn is sure to expose more of Dumas’ grand plan, Flynn teases that Lily and The Young and the Restless fans STILL haven’t reunited with the real Cane. “Being Aristotle Dumas all those years, it allowed him to distance himself and not take things too personally,” Flynn tells Woman’s World. “Cane lost who he really was, so now, I’m trying to figure out who I am in this new world. He’s going to evolve. You’ll see him have a bit more of an emotional side, because he starts getting attached to things again. Maybe I can start to show a bit more humility or a bit of a sense of humor—things that made Chad popular. “I think it’s important for a leading man character to not take himself so seriously,” he adds. “I know that’s not how Cane’s started out and it’s going to be a very slow reveal, but a role only gets better the more time you have with it. It took a year before I felt like I was getting a handle on Chad, and I’ve felt like I’m starting to get a little handle on Cane sooner than that. I’ll probably feel a little unsettled for quite some time, but it’s been a blessing.”

Colby Muhammad got married June 21, 2025. Some of the cast and crew were there. Full wedding album here: https://www.munaluchibridal.com/colby-muhammad-of-beyond-the-gates-marries-filmmaker-keith-lamar-nixon-at-the-chrysler-museum-of-art-in-norfolk-virginia-muna-exclusive/

Ooooh. I see what you're saying ... what if Naomi and Jacob *did* recognize the children in the picture on Regina's phone when Regina showed it to them ... But kept quiet about it for now. In the prior episode, Naomi kept a neutral face and acted like nothing unusual was happening when June tried to pay the restaurant bill with Monopoly money. So maybe Naomi was doing the same today, hiding her surprise to see the picture?

That's a spoiler. There's a separate promo thread for it in the spoiler section.

Today's episode wardrobe for Ambyr and Trisha matches this behind-the-scenes IG from April 10th https://www.instagram.com/p/DIRsVX9vEE8/

Oh right, Devon *was* named Hamilton. He legally changed his name to Winters in 2023.

I know someone in real life on who is on the relationship/physicality spectrum and who has said *exactly* what Kat said today, almost word-for-word. Romantic interest, and the body did what it was supposed to do, but the sensation was like watching paint dry. Finding kisses to be romantic but sex to be "meh".

I think the June parentage reveal will be quit different from the Ted parentage reveal. Ted's child Eva was already an adult. The June reveal will (possibly) involve a custody battle with Aunt Regina wanting her nephew Ron/Tyrell and niece Celine/Samantha. And maybe June wanting them, too. What if they expose Martin's role in the deaths of Kenny and Kenny's brother? If that happens, then I can see Regina or June demanding custody of the teens. Would a judge allow the teens to decide for themselves? An umbrella aspect would be Naomi being both June's attorney and Vernon's attorney and being caught in the middle -- and how Jacob would react.

Well I'd like Devon's bio-sister Ana Hamilton (Loren Lott) to be related to Bill. Could we get a crossover of the DAYS character Chanel Dupree-- She's a Dupree after all.

oooh hadn't thought of that! It occurs to me that Devon from Y&R is a music promoter. And on BTG, the Articulettes need a promoter.
