This show doesn't do "dramatic" "storylines".

Oh, my bad!!

Jack discovers that Keemo is dead and he has a grandaughter Allie.

She's angry at her father and Jack, who seeks advice from Phyllis who tells Jack Allie will adjust and grow to love Jack because he is a wonderful guy.

Traci befriends Allie and lets her know how wonderful Jack is.

Allie softens when the Abbotts throw a welcome to the family bash at Society. 

Allie befriends Chloe and Sally at Crimson Lights and they offer her a job.

Jack warns Adam to treat her well.

Allie is attracted to Noah and helps him get over his Tessa obsession.

Allie and Noah begin dating-drinks at Crimson Lights, dinner at Society etc

But Allie is hiding a secret that she feels will destroy her future in GC. 

Finally it's revealed - she once cheated on an exam.

Jack forgives her and all is well.

THAT'S how you write a Y&R story.

 

You're too good at this.

Many thanks.

And the beauty of it is that it only takes a few minutes out of your day.

So Josh Griffith has a lot of time to pursue other interests like Wordle and Cosplay.

I was following along, nodding my head thinking how this seems like how it'll go down on the show...okay, we're following the expected beat. Then I saw the bolded parts. I burst out laughing. THAT's actually what'll probably happen! Haha!

Okay, putting back on my fanfic writer's hat...

 

  Hide contents

Jack welcomes his granddaughter, Allie, into the Abbott family fold.  Feeling guilty that he and Keemo were estranged for many years, Jack is determined to make Allie a part of the family business as well.  While working at Jabot, Allie comes up with the idea of launching a new cosmetics line targeted especially at AAPI women.  Jack thinks Allie's is a fantastic idea and wants to shepherd the project.  However, Allie is just as determined to make a success of the new line on her own.

Chance becomes involved with launching Allie's new line, and the two bond over their separate issues: Allie, over her troubles in connecting with the rest of the Abbotts; and Chance, over his lingering PTSD and his strained marriage to Abby, who is becoming increasingly focused on baby Dominic's well-being.  One thing leads to another, as they say, and Chance and Allie end up having an affair.

Chance and Allie do their best to keep their affair a secret from everyone.  However, on the night of the official launch party for Allie's new line, Abby discovers the truth.  Abby confronts Chance and Allie; Chance admits he has fallen in love with Allie; Abby tells Chance their marriage (and Allie's career and place in her family) is finished.

Abby takes off with Dominic in her car, but swerves to avoid hitting a deer, loses control and ends up crashing into a ditch.  Dominic Abbott Newman Winters Cudahy Chandler Spaulding von Halkein Chancellor survives, but Abby doesn't.  And once everyone else knows about Chance and Allie's affair, an emotionally unspooled Ashley - who will begin hallucinating that her daughter is still alive - will vow revenge against Chance and Allie for causing Abby's death.

 

Why are you so good at this? Visually, I saw all of this happening as if it actually did! Wow. You're really good at this.

I especially like Allie and Chance, of course this depends on how old they want to present Allie.

It is a small thing and it may turn out Allie is a nickname but a Vietnamese girl born and raised in Vietnam of Vietnamese parents, including Keemo whose only experience of America led him to think it was a den of decadence, would not be named "Allie".
It would not be unheard of for Asian immigrants to choose an "English" name once they move to the US but at the risk of sounding unduly nitpicky, I hope there is a throwaway line about this.

Ravi Shapur played by Abhi Sinha.  I really liked him.

If I remember correctly, he was introduced by SSM and Kat Alden, and was one of the 1st characters dispensed with when Mal Young’s manoeuvres got himself installed as Head Writer.

I truly hope she's "of age," and not some bratty tween.  This is THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, not "Clarissa Explains It All."

I tuned back in for the first time in a year for the Keemo mentions. This week I found the scenes on Tuesday to be very well written and they set up years worth of story with Keemo and Jack’s strained relationship. To then kill him a couple episodes later is typical modern Y&R. I have no interest in what comes next. 
 

How do you bring up a core characters child after 25 years and just kill them off in a week?! This is a soap opera. A procedural would’ve given us more than this.
