Young and the Restless (Y&r) spoilers note that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is hiding a massive secret from his entire family, and if they ever found out, they’d be horrified.
Victor organized it so that “everyone” thought Jordan (Colleen Zenk) drowned after falling off a bridge into a river. Meanwhile, he has her stashed in a private jail cell in the basement of the Newman Ranch. Guess he’s following the old saying, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
In all seriousness, Jordan has been able to escape every single “locked up” situation she’s ever been in, in the past. What makes the Moustache think that this time will be different?

Marla Adams, the Emmy-winning soap opera veteran who starred as the scheming Dina Abbott Mergeron during parts of five decades on The Young and the Restless, has died. She was 85.

The Young and the Restless is continuing to celebrate the show’s golden anniversary (the show turned 50 in March) with a special episode honoring the late Jerry Douglas’ character John Abbott. Even though Douglas appeared in scenes as Jack’s (Peter Bergman) conscience up until 2016, the show was never the same after John was killed off a decade earlier. Y&r invited Kym Douglas, Jerry’s widow, to appear in the episode, set to air Thursday, June 22, as Zelda, a woman with ties to the Abbott family, Traci (Beth Maitland) in particular. Kym Douglas is familiar to TV viewers from her appearances as a regular correspondent on both Ellen, where she was friends with the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss, and the Hallmark Channel series Home & Family.

The name Ashley was one of the most popular baby girl names from 1983 to 2001.

However, actor Eileen Davidson who has portrayed Ashley Abbott on-and-off since 1982, recently revealed that her character almost had an entirely different name. Find out the alternative first name Ashley Abbott was almost given below.

The Munsters are, by design, a comedic reinvention of the classic monsters – Herman is Frankenstein’s monster, Lily is a vampire, Grandpa is Count Dracula, and Eddie is a werewolf – but other interpretations of iconic creatures occasionally made appearances.
Before TV’s first family of fright returns in Rob Zombie’s The Munsters, let’s look back at six classic monsters that have appeared in The Munsters Universe up to this point.
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Despite only appearing on screen for about a minute and a half, Uncle Gilbert is perhaps the most memorable member of the Munsters’ extended family. The reason is simple: he’s the Gill-man from the Creature from the Black Lagoon franchise.
In “Love Comes to Mockingbird Heights”, Uncle Gilbert sends the family 180,000 worth of gold doubloons from the old country for safekeeping until he arrives to visit. This inciting incident sets the plot in motion,...

It’s a collection of 6 — count ’em Six — horror and sci-fi curiosities from the ’40s and ’50s, aimed straight at covetous fantasy film addicts. Wacky scripts, strange characterizations and poverty row production values are on view, but the fine transfers reveal professional cinematography and occasional impressive direction. The films are definitely of their time — the censor-inhibited 1940s pictures rely on spooky situations because they can’t show blood or too much violence. And a pair of low-end B&w ‘scope thrillers from the ‘fifties drive-in era do more with less, cutting corners in interesting ways. Viavision anoints the shows with expert commentaries and a couple of real surprises: an entire extra feature and a rare 1950s TV show.

It’s smooth noir sailing with this polished noir from Universal-International and its choice cast of pros — Edmond O’Brien, Ella Raines and William Bendix, plus Vincent Price doing an excellent turn as a Machiavellian businessman, a ‘frame’ expert with a side specialty in double-dealing. Director Michael Gordon earns an early credit at Universal-International with a nice look: almost all exteriors are richly photographed nighttime scenes. Ella Raines is particularly good — despite the cover illustration, she’s not a femme fatale, just a cautious independent woman.

We are back on here to let you guys know what is next in the repeat episode line up for "The Young And The Restless" when this Monday, June 8, 2020 rolls around. It turns out that CBS is going to go way, way back into their 1986 stash of old episodes for this one. That's right, guys. CBS is going to re-air the episode that first debuted way, way back on Friday, July 18, 1986. It featured Victor and Ashley having a very romantic moment together when Victor decided to romance her. Nikki and Matt were featured in this episode. Nikki had a good time when she got wined and dined by Matt. Joanna and John Abbott also had an interesting time when Joanna threw a lot of charm in John Abbott's direction.

There Are People Out There Worth Saving.
Here’s a look at Paramount Pictures’ SuperBowl TV commercial for the upcoming A Quiet Place Part II.
We will finally get the answers to many questions from the chilling first movie – how quickly did the aliens wipe out most of humanity, what happened on Day One during the initial invasion and subsequent panic and to what lengths did John Abbott go to protect his family and home.
Part I was one of the best horror and most unexpected blockbusters to hit the cinemas in recent years. I’m hoping we’ll be shown where the idea came from to lay sand on the ground as a means to keep their foot steps silent. The innovative story of this post-apocalyptic world was so...

“Days of Our Lives” is the most nominated program of the year at the Daytime Emmys with 27 bids, and it’s the front-runner to win Best Drama Series for the second year in a row according to the combined predictions of hundreds of Gold Derby users who have made their forecasts here in our predictions center. But nothing is set in stone. The Daytime Emmys are decided based on sample episode submissions, which are the great equalizer, so watch out for a big upset.
“Days” submitted an episode in which Abigail (Best Actress nominee Marci Miller) fights against her alternate personality Gabby in her own mind, and then another episode in which Lani (Sal Stowers) imagines the life she might have led while undergoing an emergency C-section.

Peter Bergman is back at the Daytime Emmys, which is hardly new. He has earned his 22nd Best Actor nomination, his 21st for playing Jack Abbott on “The Young and the Restless” (his other nomination was for his prior work on “All My Children”). He is by far the most nominated actor in the history of this category, but he has only one three times previously, in 1991, 1992, and 2003.
Although the Daytime Emmys have not released the drama acting reels to the public this year, they have been made available to the press. Let’s take a look at Bergman’s submission below.

Is it a classic? Well, not exactly, but it’s also not a typical disappointing ’40s Z-picture. Screenwriter Leigh Brackett pens a nice twist on the Dracula motif, and actor John Abbott is genuinely impressive as what is surely the most low-key vampire on the books. Plus a sexy dance from Adele Mara!

Canadian-born actress Alexis Smith (born 1921) would have turned 96 years old today, June 8. Turner Classic Movies is celebrating her birthday by presenting nine of her movies, mostly during her time as a Warner Bros. contract player. In addition to Michael Curtiz's box office hit Night and Day, a highly fictionalized Cole Porter biopic starring Cary Grant as a heterosexual version of the famed gay composer. Night and Day is being shown as part of TCM's Gay Pride Month celebration. Alexis Smith died on June 9, 1993, the day after she turned 72. After her film career petered out in the 1950s, she went on to receive acclaim on the Broadway stage, making sporadic film appearances all the way to the year of her death. Smith's last film appearance was in a minor supporting role in Martin Scorsese's overly genteel period drama The Age of Innocence (1993), starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder.

'Ben-Hur' 1959 with Stephen Boyd and Charlton Heston: TCM's '31 Days of Oscar.' '31 Days of Oscar': 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Ben-Hur' are in, Paramount stars are out Today, Feb. 1, '16, Turner Classic Movies is kicking off the 21st edition of its “31 Days of Oscar.” While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is being vociferously reviled for its “lack of diversity” – more on that appallingly myopic, self-serving, and double-standard-embracing furore in an upcoming post – TCM is celebrating nearly nine decades of the Academy Awards. That's the good news. The disappointing news is that if you're expecting to find rare Paramount, Universal, or Fox/20th Century Fox entries in the mix, you're out of luck. So, missing from the TCM schedule are, among others: Best Actress nominees Ruth Chatterton in Sarah and Son, Nancy Carroll in The Devil's Holiday, Claudette Colbert in Private Worlds. Unofficial Best Actor...

Rex Ingram in 'The Thief of Bagdad' 1940 with tiny Sabu. Actor Rex Ingram movies on TCM: Early black film performer in 'Cabin in the Sky,' 'Anna Lucasta' It's somewhat unusual for two well-known film celebrities, whether past or present, to share the same name.* One such rarity is – or rather, are – the two movie people known as Rex Ingram;† one an Irish-born white director, the other an Illinois-born black actor. Turner Classic Movies' “Summer Under the Stars” continues today, Aug. 11, '15, with a day dedicated to the latter. Right now, TCM is showing Cabin in the Sky (1943), an all-black musical adaptation of the Faust tale that is notable as the first full-fledged feature film directed by another Illinois-born movie person, Vincente Minnelli. Also worth mentioning, the movie marked Lena Horne's first important appearance in a mainstream motion picture.§ A financial disappointment on the...
