Young and the Restless Message Board

Who's Coming
Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott): Ashley returns this week to see the renovations that Diane (Susan Walters) made to the family home — and to have a much-needed talk with big brother Jack (Peter Bergman).

Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott): Traci will also be returning to town to check out what her sister-in-law, Diane, has done with the Abbott mansion.

Mishael Morgan (Amanda Sinclair): The lawyer for the mysterious Aristotle Dumas continues this week as she interacts with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), Lily (Christel Khalil) and others.

Redding Munsell (Harrison Abbott): Kyle’s (Michael Mealor) son will be on hand in scenes that take place in the Abbott mansion this week.

Jai Rodriguez (Pietro): Victoria (Amelia Heinle) leaves nothing to chance when it comes to celebrating her mother Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) birthday in style and hires the party planner to help her make it perfect. Rodriguez is best known for his time as a host of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but he has also appeared on B&B, DAYS, One Life to Live and All My Children. The actor previewed his appearance to Entertainment Weekly and shared that when he first met Scott, the legendary star was “standing in this sort of radiance, and it was palpable. Everyone felt it in the room. She is the maker. She has been on the show for decades, and it was easy to tap to that reverence you have for someone who’s paved the way. She was really nice to me, but every time I was on set, I was just shy of being as dorky as my character was.”

Industry News
Don Diamont (Bill, B&B) was honored for his 40 years at CBS, having first been cast as Brad Carlton on Y&R in 1985, with an on-set party that included cast and crew from both Bell soaps. The actor shared a carousel of photos from the event on his official Instagram account and wrote, “Hard to express the depth of my gratitude for the last 40 years of my career in general, and for the beautiful event a few days ago celebrating my 40th Anniversary on CBS specifically. The sentiments expressed by ALL touched my soul, and I was blessed to have my family in attendance. Thank you doesn’t begin to articulate my feelings, but THANK YOU too @bradleybell [executive producer/head writer] @evabasler [publicist] @bbheathertom [Katie] @johntmccook [Eric] @cliftoncam [Liam] @iamthorstenkaye [Ridge] @bethmaitlanddqb and Peter Bergman, everyone who was gracious enough to be present, and of course, for the support of our, and my fans over these many years!
