The Young and the Restless gave the audience plenty of emotional scenes this week. From a daughter reaching out for help to a former couple getting closure, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Here’s a look at some of the memorable moments from October 20 to 24.
Key Takeaways
Lauren became fed up with Phyllis’s behavior after crashing Christine’s party.
Danny and Phyllis had a heart-to-heart talk.
Mariah reached out to her mother.
Daniel and Tessa put their cards on the table.
Rowdy Bachelorette Party
Christine’s (Lauralee Bell) bachelorette party turned chaotic thanks to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) crashing the affair. The redhead never misses an opportunity to get under Christine’s skin, but one guest wasn’t having it. Lauren (Tracey Bregman) has always been Phyllis’s friend, but even she’s fed up with the ongoing feud between Phyllis and Christine. An agitated Lauren admonished her behavior, even when Phyllis tried to place blame on Christine. Unfortunately, Lauren’s attempt to maintain peace failed when Phyllis and Christine got into it later. Needless to say, this is one bachelorette party Christine and her guests will never forget.
Moving On
Crashing Christine’s party wasn’t the only meltdown Phyllis had that night. Later in the evening, she and Danny (Michael Damian) ran into each other during the power outage. In a surprising twist, instead of scolding Phyllis, Danny showed compassion and concern for her. Phyllis shrugged off his concern by claiming she was fine, but seconds later broke down.
A tearful Phyllis finally confessed she’s not fine, she hasn’t been since her kidnapping. Danny comforted Phyllis by reminding her that, despite her flaws, there’s some good in her. Phyllis was so touched by Danny’s words that she gave him and Christine her blessing. It was a poignant moment for the exes as Phyllis finally got her closure and seems ready to move on.
Mother-Daughter Talk
There hasn’t been much interaction between Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Sharon (Sharon Case) during Mariah’s breakdown. However, this week, the mother and daughter had an emotional phone call that left both of them in tears. Mariah confessed to Sharon that she feels lost and doesn’t know when or if she’ll get better. Mariah then said she wishes she could see Sharon because she needs her mom. Sharon is going through a tough ordeal already, with Noah (Lucas Adams) being in a coma. Hearing Mariah’s confession had Sharon’s heart breaking even further, and left her torn between her two kids. Although Sharon’s focus is on Noah at the moment, hopefully, she can visit Mariah and give her a much-needed hug.
Kiss and Tell
Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Daniel (Michael Graziadei) sent tongues wagging this week with their kiss. While the lip lock was a top moment, it’s what happened afterward that stands out. Instead of jumping into bed like many soap couples do, Daniel and Tessa had a heartfelt talk. The two went to Crimson Lights, where over coffee, they confessed their feelings for each other. Daniel and Tessa finally being honest with each other was a beautiful, touching scene. There has always been a strong bond between the two, but their kiss and confessions really showcased their stunning chemistry. Although the two agreed to remain friends, something tells us not all is lost for a Dessa romance.
