Y&R's Mac Offers to be Cane and Lily's Surrogate

Submitted by Luke Kerr on November 6, 2009 - 1:36pm


 Cane (Daniel Goddard) and Lily (Christel Khalil) have survived a lot on The Young and the Restless, including: Chloe and Billy's meddling, the revelation of Cane's true identity and most recently Lily's cancer, but can they survive Mac (Clementine Ford) becoming their surrogate? 

If we soap fans have learned anything from watching countless surrogacy storylines play out on daytime, it's that these scenarious rarely go smoothly. The surrogate almost always comes between the couple, and/or decides she wants the kid in the end. What do you guys think? 

Will Mac become a threat to Cane and Lily's relationship?

Can Adam Be Redeemed on The Young and The Restless?

Submitted by Jamey Giddens on November 5, 2009 - 9:24pm



TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco has a new interview up with Michael Muhney, where the question was posed, can the character of Adam be redeemed on The Young and the Restless?


TVG: Do you think Adam is irredeemable? Are you worried that Y&R may have written Adam into a corner?

MM: The lead characters in some of my favourite films — from Scarface to Goodfellas and Citizen Kane — are truly corrupt, warped and manipulative minds, but at the same time, as a viewer, you find that you are cheering for them because perhaps even worse people surround them. Sometimes you have to torture an audience so they can feel the character’s torture. If the audience can understand their plight, then they will go on the ride with you. That doesn’t mean characters like Adam are necessarily redeemable. I don’t think redemption is necessarily necessary for Adam. I have no idea where the writing is headed, but at this juncture, I have to play Adam as such. Adam just needs to find his Rosebud, so to speak.
