Remember the Dumas France estate set had an offscreen swimming pool (splashing sound effects could be heard, characters had wet hair, and were sunning themselves onscreen in beach chairs.) Sally and Audra and the men were in bathing suits, but Lily wore a beach coverup.  To lessen the effect of the differences, most of the actresses wore coverups in those "poolside" scenes in France.  On the French traincar set, the Lily/Damian lovemaking scene faded to black earlier that might have been expected.
But all of that could have been a wardrobe choice or a camera/direction choice.

For a while now, Christel Khalil has airing as Lily behind large purses and other props.

I appreciate the discretion in not posting speculations here -- because at SON we know it's not kosher to announce an actor's health status until the actor themself or their family makes a statement.

I wasn't going to say anything  . . .

but Christel Khalil's pregnancy is unconcealed in the new BTS Thriller videos posted above. . .
-- to the point where Mara Levinsky of SOD is now writing about CK's pregnancy -- Mara considers the video to be CK announcing it.

There's been mention in these Y&R episode discussion threads wondering why are they pivoting Cane to be with Phyllis?  It's stupid, and maybe it's just to give Stafford something to do.

But I have been thinking for months that it's because of CK's pregnancy, but I didn't post that until now because of the rules of waiting until the actor announces.

Josh Griffith got it into his head that he wanted Billy Flynn on Y&R, and Flynn agreed to the offer.  Then, before anything was finalized, JG started writing Aristotle Dumas as the the Big Mysterious Billionaire.

JG didn't account for the fact that Billy Flynn still had obligations at DAYS and would be filming at Days into April 2025. JG went full out promoting Aristotle Dumas in the writing -- to the point where we had the cast reciting the name Aristotle Dumas ad nauseum for months (823 times!) as

JG also planned this Cane/Lily storyline, without realizing that CK would be pregnant.  Obviously CK would have privately told JG as soon as she could, but still ... I'm sure that required a change in his planned arcs for the year.


I don't think this was posted here at SON ...
In this July 15th Jermaine Rivers (Damian) interview, he says he was told in April by JG that his character would be killed off; and that they didn't tell him this when he was first hired, but that Josh Griffith told him in April that it had *always* been JG's plan to kill off Damian:

Quoting article:
It was at the end of April that Rivers was informed of the grisly direction the storyline was going to take for his alter ego, when Griffith had a chat with the actor. “We had a great talk,” Rivers says. “He was like, ‘Hey, look, couldn’t tell you then, but this has always been the plan. There’s nothing that you’ve done wrong. You’ve been amazing. But this was the story that we’re telling.’ I was like, ‘I get it.’ ”
End quote.

Then JG was short-sighted in regards to Damian.

Go on EB with your bad self 🤣

Today’s CDN Episode 

Spoiler

The Cane and Phyllis sexual tension is creepy to me. He should be in a triangle with her son (Daniel, Lily) instead of staring into Phyllis’ eyes wanting to devour her at the athletic club. It just really feels like such a mismatch. I wasn’t even a fan of Daniel Goddard but it would be a lot less creepy if he was still in the role instead.. 

So far I do like Sienna. The name is odd & will take getting used to but I don’t mind the character and can certainly see potential. I don’t know if we are supposed to believe she was romantically involved with Noah but I really hope they aren’t going that route. We have enough old grannies being paired with younger men. Let’s keep the actors in storylines with other actors similar in age please. I don’t mind the odd fling with an older character but it’s just gotten to be tiresome on this show as of late and OVERDONE. (Phyllis/Cane, Cane/Traci, Chance/Sharon, NuAdam/Sharon, Jack and whoever his flavour of the week would always be.) 

I am always a sucker for a tender moment between Nikki/Sharon which almost made watching this episode completely worth it. it’s great to see Nikki and Victoria be supportive of Sharon especially during times like this which really proves to me they do see her as being apart of the family. 

 

-- Who runs the Y&R graphics department? That AI program that Phyllis showed Victor looked like Windows 98.

Probably JG. Can never give him too many jobs to suck at at one time.

I think you're right.

 

Does JG understand that there can be more than one copy of a program, and when you "give" someone the program, it doesn't mean you no longer have it and the other person can destroy it?
