Y&R: Out of The Ashes (Clear Springs/Genoa City)

Discussion of the story until it ends

This is a discussion on The Young And The Restless: Out of The Ashes storyline.

Recap of 10/18/07 [Episode #8751] (From CBS.com)

Phyllis excitedly tells Michael that the prison warden granted her the work release. Michael tries to warn Phyllis that if she breaks the very strict rules of the program she’ll be sent back to prison with no second chances. Phyllis calls Nick to tell him the good news about being granted work release, and he is thrilled. Phyllis calls Jack to say that she can start her work release program in two days.

Jack is thrilled but Sharon is not. Victor tells Nick that he’ll be co-CEO of the venture capital division, Neil will be co-CEO of Newman Cosmetics, and Victoria will be co-CEO of the real estate division. Everyone is pleased. Nick tells Phyllis that he has been re-instated as co-CEO.

At lunch, Nikki tells Katherine that she and Victor are divorcing. Nikki complains about how Victor wants to control her whole life. Katherine points out that Victor hasn’t changed in 20 years and it must be something that she did to cause their unhappiness. Katherine reminds Nikki of how much she and Victor have been through together. She wonders if Nikki looks past the stubbornness, that in her heart, she still really loves him.

Victor tells Nikki that he’s calling in her loans, since they are overdue. Nikki seethes, saying that she wants to use her marital assets for whatever she chooses. Victor states that he’s not going to let her go broke.

J.T. tells Joe he’s still worried about the substandard concrete. Joe tells J.T. that if he keeps talking, he’s going to have to transfer him. J.T. shoots back that he’ll have to double his salary if he transfers him. J.T. walks away, hoping he scared Joe a little. Later on, Joe calls J.T. saying that he wants to give him a 25% raise. J.T. asks for it in cash, and Joe states that he’ll need to meet with J.T. in person to talk that over.

Amber asks Lauren if she could look at some new designs she sketched, but Lauren tells her she’ll do it later. Lauren leaves, leaving behind a draft of the new Fenmore’s store in Clear Springs.

I know eh. That was really bad.

But that's what you get when you have newbie daytime producers like LML, Josh Griffith and Anthony Morina.

Y&R's production values have gone to hell without Ed Scott and Kathy Foster.

They started going to hell once Shuagnessey left and Jack F. Smith was sole EP. I don't think Scott's supervising position and Foster's producer credit had much sway in the show's production values.

Anyway, I'm not even bothering to watch this stunt. I hope it flops in the ratings and critics rip it to shreds. Maybe then Latham will be fired. :D

    • Me saying all the praise for Eva/Ambyr. Y'all..

    • Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes. She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them. Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away. I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.
    • I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today: I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future. I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end. Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end. I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.
    • What an interesting read @Paul Raven. Thank you so much for posting it. Annette
    • She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.
    • Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.
    • Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD. I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry.    See, he can still be a decent guy

    • Leslie threw Eva's photo in the kitchen garbage can.

      She threw out that picture of Eva. Im convinced Eva is NOT her daughter. She has no maternal instinct. Thats Nicole's kid   awww Ted is getting her an apartment and he said he would never leave his daughter. I love it! I bet it will be better than that dump Leslie had her in and she better not open the door for her
