Poor Nina.

Wow!

TV Guide Magazine: Won't Christine look like the villain here?

Bell: I think the audience understands that Paul has been through a long period of hell with his sister and his son and he's just spent. Being with Chris helps center him. He can relax around her. A new relationship is work. As great as things may seem with Nina, there isn't that same comfort level. Paul needs calm and Chris represents it.

I thought I had seen desperate fans writing and rewriting a show's storylines, but it's much more rare to see an actor do this. There was little comfort between Paul and Chris since the time of their "rough sex," and Christine has been very emotionally disturbed in recent years - the calm is packed away somewhere with that old cream mini-skirt she wore for years on end.

How sad that Chris would stab her best friend in the back that way. I wonder if Nina will be leaving town when Paul breaks up with her. I keep forgetting they're even supposed to be together.

Going back to this Chris/Paul/Danny thing all these years later is bewildering to me.

This is why I hate Chris. Why can't Nina ever be happy?

Are folks clamoring for Paul and Cricket or a triangle with Danny anymore. This sounds more like LB wanting to stay and them giving her something to do than some big interest in the 3 again.

A few years ago, Lauralee didn't want to act anymore and would only agree to come on for a few episodes. I wonder what made her change her mind.

Is her boutique still doing decent business?

She closed her boutique a year or two ago.

We all know why she's back: her sister-in-law isn't there anymore. She doesn't need to work for the money, all the Bell children are very, very wealthy.

I remember Brad Bell through a very expensive party awhile back at his estate.

Brad and Colleen recently threw a fundraiser for Obama at their estate, I believe.

The Bell's were once notoriously Republican. Is this Colleen's influence, or the Bell's simply supporting someone who made a name for himself in their native Chicago?

Allegedly, Lauralee led the charge to have Maria ousted from Y&R over complaints from cast and crew alike that the show lacked leadership. Allegedly.

I never liked Paul and Cricket together. I dont like the pairing of Nina and Paul either. I always thought Cricket and Danny were the couple. Paul should have stayed with Lauren...now that was a couple.....I also liked Paul with Cassandra Rawlins.

Huge Paul/Chris shipper here - so I pray the do their history justice. Not that this is as useless as the Nick smooch...

I hate that Nina will get hurt, but maybe they are working towards bringing in a man for her. I know i keep dreaming but maybe it will turn out that the new mexican character coming on will be related to John Silva and he and Nina can start dating again.

Haha I love Lauralee's comments about Maria's exit. She could care less that she's gone, she wasn't holding back at all.

I have to admit i would have loved if Cricket got back with Danny, but I guess this is the best they can do if Michael Damian doesn't wangt to be on the show that much.
