By the time Michael got through tugging terrifically on their tattered heartstrings, there were few dry eyes left in soap audiences all across the country.
Greg Rikaart
January 16, 2006
In a week where the usual suspects did and said all the typical things, the morgue room meeting between Kevin and the once tyrannical Tom was superb.
Joshua Morrow

Eileen Davidson

Cupid, draw back your bow
It's February, the month with the big red heart on the fourteenth day, so Cupid is understandably very busy these days.
Judith Chapman
February 20, 2006
A tangled web
Even the most enterprising pair of spiders working industriously in tandem couldn't weave a web as tangled as the one these Abbott deceivers have managed to construct.
Peter Bergman
February 27, 2006
Unbecoming conduct
What Colleen wants, Colleen gets. And what Colleen wants is obvious to everyone with half a working brain.
Michelle Stafford
March 6, 2006
Do what I say, not what I do
That seems to be the tarnished rule of life certain Genoa City citizens like to live by.
Amelia Heinle
March 13, 2006
If it looks like a mutt...
Jeffrey Todd Hellstrom, please drop to all fours and pad to the front of the kennel to accept your Canine Certificate.

Tick, tock
What marvelous fun it was watching Sharon's light bulb glow ever brighter as it began to illuminate the ugly truth.
Don Diamont
April 3, 2006
Am I crazy?
Genoa City is woefully lacking in prospects to partner, thus is forced to repeatedly harness the same stallion to many different mares.
Sharon Case
April 10, 2006
The heat's been turned up
Between Sharon's multiple confrontations and the industrial espionage going on over at Jabot, it was an exciting week in Genoa City.
Joshua Morrow
April 17, 2006
A woman scorned
Determined to milk the infidelity cow until every last drop has been drained, Sharon continued to dangle Nick over the roaring inferno of her rage every day of the past week.
Michelle Stafford
April 24, 2006
Phyllis, Phyllis, Phyllis!
The entire week wasn't actually ALL about Phyllis, but it was another week of being battered over the head with the rock-filled sack of sympathy embroidered with her name.
Don Diamont
May 1, 2006
Hypocrisy in Genoa City
With so many citizens guilty of the pot and skillet syndrome, it's hard to decide who to ridicule first.
Eric Braeden
May 8, 2006
Who's minding the Newman store?
Right up until the second the carjacker's shot shattered the silence, it certainly seemed at least possible the principal proprietor could wind up being a Newman other than Victor.
Sharon Case
May 15, 2006
He loves her not
Sharon is some glutton for punishment, isn't she? What in the world was she thinking?
Eric Braeden
May 22, 2006
If it walks like a duck...
Are we really seeing a new and improved, kinder, gentler, marshmallow soft, family-oriented, touchy-feely Victor Newman?

May 29, 2006
Forever tarnished?
What is going on? Who are these people? And where did they bury the people they used to be?

A disgusting week
It's only a soap, it's only a soap, it's only a soap....
Greg Rikaart

Worth watching, flaws and all
Colleen used to be so syrupy sweet at times, mostly whenever J.T. was within smelling distance.
Michael Graziadei

All about the slant

Joshua Morrow

Where are the charismatic couples?
What a flurry of activity the week contained.
Michelle Stafford
July 3, 2006
Simply sublime
Was it the new or old Phyllis who used all the weapons in her considerable arsenal to continue to tempt Nick away from his then more or less faithful spouse?
Tracey E. Bregman
July 10, 2006
The elephant in the room
It was rather amusing to hear Nick tell Phyllis that having a baby wasn't the way to save a marriage.
Sharon Case
July 17, 2006
Six of one...
When it comes to making a case for Nick and Sharon or Nick and Phyllis, it's pretty much six of one and half dozen of the other.
Peter Bergman
July 24, 2006
A moment of mourning
For all fans whose fingers and toes had been crossed that Jack, by process of DNA elimination, might be declared the delighted Daddy of Phyllis' belly-bound bambino.
Joshua Morrow
July 31, 2006
Sour grapes
Love them or hate them, Nick and Phyllis are not only the first names on everyone's lips, but cheers and jeers for or against them are also filling up every message board in cyber reach.
Don Diamont
August 7, 2006
Lifetime moments
It was refreshing to see the focus shifted to other Genoa City citizens and situations for a change.
Jerry Douglas
August 14, 2006
Old and useless?
Is killing off of a core character becoming a new trend on our favorite show?
Jerry Douglas
August 21, 2006
Sniff, sniff
If you were a John Abbott/Jerry Douglas fan, it was a heartbreaking, dark and emotionally wrenching week.
Judith Chapman
August 28, 2006
What's next?
One thing can be said about The Young and the Restless these days - it's certainly no longer predictable!
Peter Bergman
September 4, 2006
What they deserve
Look at the damage that Gloria managed to do to Ashley and Jack and Jabot, all without getting a speck of payback dirt on her clean white gloves.
Eric Braeden
September 11, 2006
Short on days, long on action
Though it was a short week, a lot of ground was covered.
Sharon Case
September 18, 2006
Ick!
Yes, those words are directed at the latest odd couple, Jack and Sharon.
Michelle Stafford
September 25, 2006
Fan forum
A special column filled with feedback from fans of The Young and the Restless.
Peter Bergman

Beneath the surface
There could be a whole lot more going on than what our eyes are staring at.
Jerry Douglas

The haunting of Jack Abbott
Poor John. He's become a Peeping Tom, eagerly taking copious notes and commenting inanely while Jack paws his latest squeeze.
Judith Chapman
October 16, 2006
Don't blink!
You certainly can never accuse Gloria Fisher Abbott of thinking too small.
Don Diamont
October 23, 2006
Do I expect too much?
In these new and different days, sometimes, being a long time viewer can definitely have its drawbacks.
Michelle Stafford
October 30, 2006
Funny dialogue
The bottom-blackened pots were busy and in rare form this past week, boiling over with all the finger pointing and name calling they were doing about their fellow scorched skillets.
Melody Thomas Scott
November 6, 2006
Mee-oww!
Forget the one about a woman scorned. Jack might soon discover he should be more afraid, very much more afraid, in fact, of the wrath of a woman outfoxed.
Michelle Stafford
November 13, 2006
Carmen Mesta's murder
How many ways can one unfortunate person perish?
Kristoff St. John
November 20, 2006
Murder, she wrote
Continuing their headlong rush to erroneous judgment, Genoa City law enforcement's tunnel vision remains fully focused on the Winters family.
Judith Chapman
November 27, 2006
The new Genoa City
Lately, in this new Genoa City, it's like starting over every single day.
Melody Thomas Scott
December 4, 2006
All about balance
These days, getting through the week is definitely getting to be a tough and somewhat grueling journey.
Eric Braeden

The Stepford child strikes again!
Legal adoption notwithstanding, Stepford child Abby is at heart and, of course, by blood, a Newman through and through.
Joshua Morrow
December 18, 2006
Thanks, fans!
For taking the time out of your busy lives to share your thoughts and opinions.
Michelle Stafford

Separating the best from the rest
When it comes to the pairing of Nick and Phyllis, whether you are a fan who abhors or adores, it's clear that putting this duo together has been like a pickax striking a wide vein of rich gold.
