July 18, 2007 Soap Opera Weekly
With so many hot storylines simmering, Y&R is not planning to rest on its Emmy laurels and snooze away the lazy, hazy days of summer.
The supercouple of Genoa City is not a pair of nubile teens in swimsuits, it's grown-up hotties Sharon and Phyllis, who went from clawing each other's eyes out to creaming Nikki without breaking a nail. Phyllis' scheming set the stage for sweet Sharon to become a player.
Playing the game is a bit harder for lovable ne'er-do-wells Kevin, Amber and Daniel. As if the decisions they make on their own are not bad enough, they united to bury themselves deeper than that suitcase full of cash. (Who hides a corpse they didn't kill?) With the panicked trio constantly dialing each other, the fun ringtones were a nice touch. (Trivia: Calls to Kevin play "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.")
Meanwhile, Y&R has clearly not forgotten summer means adventure--and skin. "Nick Van Winkle" awoke in a forest with a beautiful doctor and a bad fever, but eventually revived, desperate to see his "wife and two kids." In a clever twist, Y&R hid his amnesia until the Newman heir returned home, where he learned his numbers were right, but the players were wrong. His wife is Phyllis, not Sharon, and his daughter is baby Summer, not the late Cassie. Talk about a rude awakening.
It has been a year of loss in Genoa City, full of deaths, miscarriages and broken marriages. But with the summer burn just getting started, the soap has a chance to prove that grief is not Y&R's only strong suit.
And not a reliquary in sight.
Hit: Y&R's Laughs, Lies, and Summer Sighs
