Young and the Restless Message Board

Wow, today was a killer. As disgusted & angry as I am for the show getting rid of Colleen, I have to admit--this eppy was a visually-stunning, poignant, sad yet beautiful work of art. The writers did Colleen's exit justice. A tear-jerking, heart-wrenching end for a young, legacy character. I just wanted to hug Traci so badly, and rescue Colleen myself if I could. The essence of time was the theme today, as we saw moment after moment of clocks, watches ticking away the minutes...the minutes Colleen was underwater & leaving us for good. But the grandfather clock was what got me. That was the worst part since it possibly signified the exact moment Colleen's life ended--6:27am. Damn. Anybody got tissues??? Kudos to the show, the actors and to Tammin Sursok, who had no lines but she was so very effective anyway. I'll miss you, girl.

Lake~the canoe is upside down in the water, Colleen is knocked unconscious after she hits her head oh geez, I hate this already :(. In the woods~Patty sees it's 6:20am. Growing weaker, she tells kitty kitty Colleen will save them :::sobs:::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranger's~JT is downtrodden, but Paul is hopeful they will find Colleen sniff, I wish. Where ARE the rangers?? A nervous JT muses Colleen's smart unfortunately this time she wasn't, if anyone can reach Patty she can odd that Colleen did get through to her, still...Paul sighs God bless her, since nobody else succeeded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranch~Jack guesses Vic knows Colleen was taken hostage. Vic admits he does & warns not to disturb Ash oh please. Jack agrees & learns Vic's added more money for the search. Jack is irked Vic has prepared a press release, but shares Colleen's car was found & a gun from the cabin is missing. Jack snorts how does it feel to be responsible amen? Vic refuses to listen to the barbs & urges Jack to keep his voice down before Ash hears them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CL~Listening to the radio, Jevin are shocked about Colleen's kidnapping I guess they don't watch TV either. At the ranch~Abby spills to Ash she's sad about Colleen d'oh! At Lane's~Lily hopes Colleen will phone if only she could *sobs*. Cane presses her to get some sleep, Lily can't--she's too sad she can't help Colleen me too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abbotts~Steve has arrived yay, I like him, Traci hugs him. He's sure they will hear good news soon sigh. Traci finds a book of Colleen's fave nursery rhymes. Billy jokes the jelly stains aren't his, while Traci starts reading from the book: here we see Colleen floating as bubbles rise in the water so sad, I'm angry too. Lily materializes beside her, suddenly the BFFs are on land. Lily talks about her cancer, she's not ready to die--and insists neither is Colleen. Lily begs her to fight, don't give up! In the water, Colleen's eyes pop open & she sees Kevin. Kevin opines about her treating him like a human being, he's not broken anymore--partly because of her. She helped turn him from a monster to a friend beautiful scenes w/ Lily/Colleen/Kevin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CL~Jevin talk about Patty, which prompts them to reflect on their own crimes against Colleen. Jana painfully recalls locking her & Kevin in the freezer, as Kevin points out Colleen forgave them yes she did, don't know if I could have. Jana isn't sure she can forgive Patty um, seriously--who asked you to? LOL.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ash's room~W/ Abby, Ash calls Billy & bitches him out for not saying anything about Colleen seriously, you think your family betrayed you so shut up, bitch. Billy sighs she'll be kept up-to-date. Ash muses she'll ring him later, certain Colleen will be ok.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranch~Jack & Vic continue to bicker they really shouldn't be doing this now, it's pissing me off. Vic claims if he wanted Jack gone, he'd be gone. Jack counters he's the guy Vic can't beat, so he brought in someone he'd never suspect. It was a part of his plan to have Patty blow up. Jack wonders if Colleen & Ash were just collateral damage, then taunts he's still standing oh but scoooore Jack! Jack 1, Vic 0.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lane's~It's 6:22am & Lily decides to make a scrapbook for Colleen's b-day a few months away that's sweet, yet sad. She exhales it's the perfect project during her chemo sessions. As she looks for a specific picture, she snaps at Cane lol, poor Cane for messing w/ her piles. Picking a photo of Colleen/JT, Lily grins they looked so happy. A little girl's voice is heard continuing the story, as JT 'visits' w/ Colleen to say how he fell for her, just to have his heart broken. But he quips it's ok, come back to him...make him smile again another beautiful moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranger's~Paul divides the quadrants: north, south, east, west, JT's to go north. Distracted, JT nods to Paul he's fine & laments so was Colleen when he saw her. She had a job offer, was looking forward to alone time at the cabin. But she met up w/ Patty instead. JT notes she called him--not the police. It won't be the last time he hears from her awwww, man!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Woods~Patty assumes Colleen left them. In pain, she groans to kitty they've got to get out of there. But Patty falls; her watch reads 6:22am die woman die.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranch~Jack tears into Vic & after Vic flails he never cared about "that woman"; he adds if Patty had killed Jack, he'd have deserved it ouch. Jack snickers it sounds like a confession from Vic, then Vic roars how dare Jack come to him & accuse him w/o proof! Jack snarls it's out there & it must scare him! He put a bullseye right on Jack's forehead yep, that's true. Vic counters Jack isn't the big man he can't beat--he's the bastard that stole his company, that left him for dead, forged a diary, framed him for murder & got his son tangled in it can't argue w/ that. Jack huffs his son, Adam--the same man who gleefully threw him under a bus tell him, Jackie!? Vic challenges Jack to compare sins, then see who's left standing. My bet: Jack! Score: Jack 2, Vic 1/2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CL~Kevin suggests he & Jana join the search party good idea, but Jana doubts the police will let them um, why not--civilians have joined before? And at 6:23am it's too soon to drop past the Abbotts. They'll find a way to help, even from the coffee house please no Ouija boards!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranger's~JT/Paul are in contact w/ Billy who isn't appreciative of Vic providing funds for search teams I wouldn't be either--honestly. Billy laments Traci's barely hanging on & he can't help blaming Paul for Patty escaping awww, but it's really Frick/Frack's fault! He applauds what they're doing, but frets it shouldn't have come to this true. Just then, Billy 'visits' Colleen--to tell her they are connected despite their flaws & cajoles mostly his lol, but no matter--they're a team. Billy pushes her to come back w/ him, they'll kick butt. He coaxes her to say ok, Uncle Billy & not to leave him hanging love this scene too...but sadly we see Colleen floating, completely still in the water sobs, this is so not right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ash's room~Ash strokes Abby's hair, as daughter whines Patty hates them. Ash reasons Patty's confused, she was a kind, gentle person. Maybe Colleen can reach her. Abby thinks about Brad; Ash soothes sometimes people do come back. It's Abby's turn to 'visit' Colleen--she tells her they're the ones to keep Brad's memory alive & pouts she wants to go home w/ her this is so bad to say, but I don't give a damn about Abby's worry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranger's~According to Paul's watch, it's 6:24am. He sighs, sympathetic to Billy since he did have Patty but you're not the reason she escaped. Paul mulls she *was* Patty & needs to be again before things get worse too late. Speaking of, Patty wakes up on the ground...in her hand are rosary beads where did they come from, oh wait--she did have them when Paul noticed her at the AC as she prays to God for help girl, you'll need HIS help!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranch~Jack bows down to Vic, the master of sins word. He vents his niece--VICTOR's goddaughter--is in danger--while one sister is praying to God to undo the mess he created, the other is upstairs wrecked out of her mind--as Vic sat & watched her fall apart thank you! Vic flaunts Ash choose to be w/ him, she came back after his useless brother literally dragged her out the house. Jack slams how's it going--is she sane pow, loved that punch!? Is she happy, enjoying her pregnancy hell no? Jack puts the cherry on top as he mocks, it's hard to tell who Vic screws over more--those he hates, or those he claims to love DAYUM, go Jack! Angered, Victor calls Jack a hypocritical SOB womp, womp, womp! Score: Jack, 1002. Victor, -200 & 1/2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lane's~the time is now 6:25am, Lily is happy Cane found the missing pic I guess no more snarking at Cane, lol. Lily includes it in the scrapbook, again recalls how happy Colleen was w/ JT. Lily remarks she & Colleen are similar: BFFs who were dragged to GC & bonded over problems. Lily is remiss for being hurt when Colleen became the FFOJ & mourns not having enough photos of her. Cane thinks she'll have the chance to take more pictures soon er, um, damn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abbotts~Steve leaves Traci's side to talk w/ Billy, who's grateful they're all together. Meanwhile, the bitchfest goes on as Vic jabs back at Jack & spits he's the one that manipulated Colleen & watched her sink. At least useless Billy tried to help her score for Vic. And in Ash's despair, Vic vexes, Jack only pestered her um, not quite Vic! Vic scoffs not to come in his house & talk family love & values--you got that yeah because he knows nothing about either, Jack!?? He'd be through the wall if wifey & daughter weren't home whatdafeckever Vic. Score: Jack, 1002. Vic, -100 & 1/2! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lake~Colleen hears the muffled voices of Jack & Vic, then Ash shouts stop! And as Jack/Vic/Ash join her on land, Vic notices she's not a wilting flower & can see she's not proud of some of her actions. Jack chimes in, none of them are--but that's not the issue. Ash brings up forgiveness as Ghost John smiles thank you to his beauty, then states he'll take it from here. John cites this is about moving on & letting go. Colleen figures out what she needs to do don't go into the light!! Great scenes here too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CL~Holding hands & w/ candles lit, Jevin call on the spirits to bring Colleen home. Ranger's~it's 6:26am--grabbing the map, JT/Paul are ready to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranch~Jack gloats Vic's going to put him through a wall? He's not going to hire a woman to do it for him oh shyt!!? Pressing a photo of Colleen at Victor, Jack bites take a look at her--a beautiful young woman w/ her whole life ahead of her! Squinting at the photo, Jack suddenly realizes--Colleen's at Camp Cheveyo!! Cowabunga, Jack zips out to find her finally, you figured it out. Score: Jack 3002, Vic -100 1/2...Jack's the winner...but it came at a high price.! :*(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lake~Patty hears twigs breaking. Aiming the gun, she calls out who's there hopefully your comeuppance? Ash's room~Ash's clock shows 6:26am, as Abby jumps & screeches Colleen! She cries to Ash she begged Colleen to come home but she wouldn't respond I wouldn't respond to you either if I was her. Lane's~Cane thinks it a brilliant idea about the scrapbook it was, while Lily wants to also buy something girlie that'll make Colleen cry happy tears that's sweet. Nearly sobbing, Lily gets an eerie feeling yeah, I know the feeling, girlfriend...sniff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abbotts~Traci is on alert; Steve queries if she's alright. Traci knows something's wrong poor Traci as she looks at the grandfather clock--it has stopped ticking @ 6:27am geez, even the clock knows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Near the lake~the story moves on as Ghost John walks behind Colleen, who turns & sees Traci. Colleen runs into her mother's arms, as mother calms it'll be ok, she loves her baby--they all love her. Colleen then glances at the rest of her family, along w/ Lily & Kevin. They're all smiling at her. In the water, Colleen is now w/ Brad as he too smiles warmly & takes her hand well done ending & eppy, but damn, so sad to see Colleen go!! F'cking writers! ....
