IT'S SOAP NEWS FRIDAY!!!
Young and the Restless Scoop: Will Paul and Christine Reunite?!
Longtime fans of CBS' The Young and the Restless remember when Lauralee Bell's character Christine Blair — aka Cricket — was the abstinence-promoting saint of Genoa City. But since she left home to become a hotshot Beltway lawyer, Cricket has been scandalously nutty in her occasional returns to town, drunkenly making out with Nick and hitting the sack with her ex-husband Danny.
Now this! On Nov. 16, Cricket shares a kiss with her other ex-hubby Paul, who is currently in love with her best friend Nina.
TV Guide: This thing with Paul is wild! Is Saint Cricket on crack?
Bell: I don't know what craziness is going on with my character but I love it! To be fair, Paul initiates the kiss but she totally goes along with it. [Laughs] Now that he's not going to be behind bars, it's safe for her to make a move!
TV Guide: What triggers this?
Bell: Christine has basically thrown Paul a lifeline by finding the evidence that saves him from going to jail. She's freed him from this horrific chapter in his life and that's what provokes the kiss. This isn't some meaningless thing, though. Paul says, "I'm falling back in love with you." And Christine says, "I'm falling back in love with you, too. I want to give this a shot." Danny was the love of Cricket's young life. But Paul is her adult love. It's a serious, emotional reconnection. It could be a second chance for both of them.
TV Guide: Funny how Christine won't let go of her Phyllis issues but she had no problem forgiving Michael Baldwin, who once terrorized her as a psycho-stalker.
Bell: I know, right? But I'm sure she's laughing now that he's the D.A. She has the power to call Washington, D.C., and get him removed with one phone call.
TV Guide: Is Chris prepared to give up her career in D.C.?
Bell: Well, that's the other part of this story. Both Paul and Christine seem to be having a real midlife crisis. They talk a lot about how there's more in life than busting their butts for the law. Paul's father was a cop and he was expected to grow up and do the same. And Chris has always felt like she needed to defend the world because of all the trauma she's experienced. She's never been truly happy, never done what she's really wanted to do. Life is going by so fast and, suddenly, they're waking up to that. My character says she's so tired of buying clothes for the courtroom and just wants to do something fun — which is so un-Christine — and Paul says, "I'm right there with you. I don't know that I want to be a P.I. anymore." Cut to them at some nude retreat sipping cocktails.
( Gabi is pregnant on DAYS! + Blair returns to GH! + 30 Best Duos in Daytime! + Stefano DiMera's many deaths! + OLTL stars welcome baby! + More News + Flashback Friday + Previews for next week!Collapse )

I will forever love you. I don't know why.
As for GH...
Did Luke ever get the chance to dropkick Faison for hightailing it off the pier with the bombshell that Lucky was still alive but not telling him what the fuck he had to do with it?
Wouldn't it be a bitch if Lucky was some clone all this time? What if all of the people who came back from the dead were just clones like Stavros or something? You know Faison is working with Helena.
I can't wait to see her again. Fierce bitch.
