Holy crap! What an amazing episode of Survivor tonight! First off, poor Yul. I was really rooting for him. But, it's ok. Plus, somebody will re-enter the game this time. Amber gave Rob all her tokens for an advantage and an idol, Natalie used her tokens for an advantage and an idol, Ethan, Danni & Tyson also bought advantages in the challenge. But not Amber, Parvati or Yul. And then, the challenge. Well, first MERGE! All together. Then, the challenge. The hardcore battle between the 8 who just want to get back in the game. And it's even for the most part. But, Tyson, Rob & Natalie run it. With others catching up and getting close to winning, especially Yul, despite having no advantage. It's a close battle but ultimately, Tyson wins and gets back in.

The popular Soap opera usually tapes four to six weeks ahead of time, but shut down production on March 17 because of the coronavirus. It was announced initially, that the hiatus would be for two weeks, but clearly that has changed and more time is necessary because of guidelines from, the White House.

Lockdown was implemented in the U.K just over a week ago and despite being an essential worker I have been forced home due to an injury.

Actor Michael Mealor has reached a milestone on The Young and the Restless according to Soap Hub. He is celebrating two years of portraying spoiled rich kid Kyle Abbott, who is the son of Jack Abbott Diane Jenkins. The character was aged three times prior to Mealor taking over the role and none of the previous actors lasted very long.

Spoiler alerts are teasing that the identity of Nina's daughter may be close at hand. When it was first revealed that Ms. Reeves had a daughter, Nelle Benson was suspected of being that child. When, however, Chloe Lanier left the ABC daytime drama, Michael's baby mama went to jail and opinions changed. There were also viewers who pointed out that Nelle would not be the right age, but Willow could be. The hatred Nina had for the school teacher seemed to fuel the flames for those who believed Ms. Tate is the missing daughter. Viewers waited for the big reveal, but it never came. Now, however, it seems that the ABC daytime drama is revisiting all things Nelle.

Those who enjoy watching The Young and the Restless will be in for a lot of action this coming week. The Newman’s, Abbott’s, and others in Genoa City will be up to their necks in drama.

It’s becoming very clear to those who watch The Young and the Restless that Theo Vanderway has an evil agenda. Many viewers were against the character ftom the beginning and and hoped he would leave Genoa City to work with Ashley in Pars. Instead he stuck around and it’s obvious he will not honor his uncle Jack’s words of wisdom. His sole mission in life since arriving in Genoa City seems to have been to destroy his cousin Kyle. His first order of business was to try to get Kyle to fitch Lola and go back to the playboy lifestyle. He then began to date Summer who had been married to Kyle. This should have been the first clue that Theo was noy a good person. His friend’s ex wife should have been off limits. He nect tried unsuccessfully to stop the Kola wedding, eventually bringing Zoe to Genoa City which was a pretty dirty thing to do.
