original release date: Thursday, April 23, 2026 | writers: Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | director: Steven Williford Thoughts: Well, it sounds like Vernon has some good news, so that is a promising sign. Well, Martin just spit out his news to Bradley. Hopefully he can ease into the conversation a bit better than he is right now. No Focaccia? Oh no. That is horrible. But it looks like Jan is on the way to save the day! Vanessa still wants in on Joey's businesses. Glad to see she is still working her angle to infiltrate his businesses and hopefully can implode them from the inside out. Or, at the very least, push Joey out of them. Vernon, you really could have... eased into the news a bit more gently than you did. Because the happiness on Anita's face just turned into the purest mixture of concern, confusion, and uncertainty. So Joey wants to give Vanessa a drawer? That is super romantic. And "back atcha, kid" when she says she loves him. I feel like he is suspicious of her intentions, but I know my Vandanna is going to do this the smart way. Ren does not play around... he is one scary MFer... I can see why Lia employed him. Grayson is stronger than I am... I would be curled up in a ball, crying, and ready to just bleed out right there. I hate that Bradley and Martin are backpedalling in their relationship. They came so far, and now it feels like they are slipping too easily back into where they were before. That Vitamin D is always a pain in the buttocks. Been there. Done that. Damn. Seems like Lia might have a soft spot for Grayson... but her continuing to cut the cameras? That seems very, very risky and also highly suspicious. HOW IN THE HELL DID GRAYSON GET FROM GARLAND TO ASHLEY'S APARTMENT LIKE THAT?! He must be superhuman! G'damn! Wow! What a thoughtful present from Vanessa for Anita. I love seeing her check-in on her, too. And the Harbour Hideaway? Sounds like a beautiful little boutique shop! Ashley, now is NOT the time to make this as personal as you are trying to... you have to keep a level head to keep Grayson alive. BHAM! Anita is ready for some... intimate relations with Vernon, and I can tell he is ready, too. Love seeing it. Vanessa, who the Hell is in that picture frame? Two randoms. And a sound garden? Hahaha. Jan, sweetie, nice to see you, but you have got to go NOW! Notes: Happy we get back-to-back Paige episodes but a shame she is paired with writer2, One of their best scriptwriters, with their worst breakdown writer. Praying by this summer we get word the problem is gone and hopefully with another name, like we got with Natalie Minardi Slater. Williford did a real good job at re-shooting Grayson's stabbing that Sonia Blangiardo-Goins did in yesterday's episode. It was a bit different but kept the same amount of suspense without the breathing room. I cannot stop laughing at how close Martin's bodyguard is to him. If Bradley and Martin start having intimate relations, will he be right there, too? First we are shown how to use a dishwasher with Cascade, and now we are being shown (loosely) how to do laundry with Tide. I will say, as a Tide user since I can remember, they are a top-notch brand. But I am a liquid person. Not a pod.

Is Noah's peripheral vision bad? Because he was looking at Sharon and never noticed Matt out of the corner of his eye. 🤣

Demos/ratings. That's how. So long as Y&R continues to perform in these two aspects, he will remain in his position.

I love that he brought this up again during this past week's episode of Soapy, and how much he wanted to do soaps.

Maitland Ward (ex-Jessica, B&B) will be featured during the second season of Hollywood Demons, in an episode that will focus on child stars gone wild ("Child Stars Gone Wild").

EXACTLY! We love realism. Truly! 😁

Karla Mosley confirmed that if that got renewed for 2027, they would get the full 250 episode order. So, both 2027 and 2028 will be 250 episodes each.

original release date: Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | writers: Teresa Zimmerman, Danielle Paige | director: Sonia Blangiardo-Goins Thoughts: I think it is awesome how into each other both Ashley and Grayson are. I hope their relationship is for the long haul. I genuinely do not understand Hayley being so upset. I really do not. She does not love Bill, or so she claims, so why would it matter? She is doing way too much. Finally, someone is asking why Ted has yet to move out of the hotel. That is an important question to ask. Not Shanice getting the tea on Garland as if she did not work there. And not Lia becoming sus to everyone. Very interesting. Martin, going for the Senate? That is a bold aspiration. But at least it is not the President of the United States like he wanted last year. Next time to commit, it will be forever? Oh, Ted just doomed his relationship with Shanice with those lines. Damn. Nicole's cause for concern, especially where Joey is concerned, is very important for Martin to take on. So sweet of Tomas to make a Katherine-centric salsa night at Uptown. I know I would be feeling so special. Bill's briefs? Huh? Nice tongue-in-cheek wording that also gives some insight into Bill's choice of underwear. Ha. And of course he is confronting Hayley about her closing the account. Again, a con artist that sucks at their so-called profession. "Sex Me Up Chicken"? Oh la-la. That does sound appetising if you ask me. Another very thoughtful gift from Tomas for Katherine. I hope she genuinely appreciates it. OH CRAP! I did not see Grayson getting stabbed! Damn. Ren is not playing around, is he? That felt less of a warning and more of a direct message. Poor Grayson. Notes: Another great script day today! Amazing, natural flow! Timon Kyle Durrett's (Bill) suit coat was a bit too tight in the upper arm area today. It should not be pulling in the way it was today. Love the continued inclusion of Alex Alegria's (Tomas) real-life dancing in the soap. Amazing. The two different types of breast implants on Ted's desk are hilarious. I cannot help but laugh at them just being so out in the open, but it is natural for his type of profession.
