[Y&ROn&Off]

OMG! Neil and Dru were soooooooo cute! They way they met was adorable!

Gina had a man? You go Gina.

[RestlessFan]

I really, reeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyy and iiiiimmmmmmmmmeeeenssLLLYYY enJOYD very young Drucilla. A Hellion Drucilla. So, young still, working at Jabot (lookks like she was delivering mail to different departments, too), and working from the ground up before she got one of the higher up positions. Y&R used to have everyone work from the ground up and made it believable when they were in higher up position over the years, made it realistic, unlike now, everyone is CEO material now and can make out all the time in CEO's offices now. So, it was really great to see and up and comer, very young, still green in the nose, Jabot employee Drucilla and the first time she met also a very young man for the first time, Neil. Great episode and totally enjoyed it. Vibrant, rambunctious, young puppy, Drucilla and young poised well behave Neil, just opposites of each others (Neil and Drucilla) and that made their first scene together so much entertaining and want to watch more of them. A time to be young and so much to look forward to type of atmosphere for Young Neil and YOung Drucilla. That is what being "YOUNG" is all about, and you have the rest of your life to get "Old and Bitter and stuck-up, critical, get on high horses and judge and condemn, which is very boring. I rather watch stories with different personalities and not just goody two shoes (how boring is that).

Did a look up of Clint and had no idea he was behind the Marge, Sol and other lady who kidnapped Mrs C and substituted Marge for her. In fact he did marry Nina because she came from money and he doesn’t go straight but later arranges more schemes against Mrs. C and Esther. I was not watching the show for most of this apparently. I did come into when Mrs C had her car accident with Marge in it, Marge died in it, Mrs C had amnesia and wandered off and found her way into Murphy’s cabin while everyone else thought that Mrs C had died.

The actor who played Brock was on and off the show over many years. The actor has passed away.

So question for everyone, was Mrs. C Marge in this episode? She’s awfully quiet around Rex and makes me wonder which Kay we are seeing here. Especially at the end of the episode where Mrs C learns from the hospital that Brock has been shot and she realizes Clint might have shot him. Was that Marge thinking Clint has gone too far??

[Forever Fan]

I think the end scene was Mrs. Chancellor. She was quiet around Rex and Esther because she was keeping something from them. I suspect she found out that Gina was married to Clint and didn't want to tell Rex. Just a guess. Also, the ranting and raving while she's alone is classic Katherine Chancellor.

Here’s how the second half of the episode ended.

So Neil agrees to fill in for the evening as Dru’s date during this double date that Nate arranged. Dru gets Neil to show her he can dance, slow dance, right there in the Jabot hallway. And she says he has to be passionate with her to convince Nate that he’s legit boyfriend who she’s been seeing for a few weeks. She pulls him in closer and while dancing, another office guy walks back smiling at the scene. Neil is likely wondering what he got himself into. Doesn’t appear too interested in Dru at this point. Just doing her a favor. She tells him to meet her at Gina’s restaurant at 8. He says he’ll be there and she’s happily surprised. Then as he walks away to his meeting she asks what his name is and he replies, Neil. Neil Winters.

Gina is questioned by police while appearing in shock. She says she didn’t see what happened, arrived after both were laying in the alley to her restaurant. She tells them the victim is Brock Reynolds, Katherine Chancellor’s son.

Forgot to mention that while Gina saw Clint leave the building after he said a gun man was following Brock, she didn’t realize that Clint was involved in the shooting. A witness tells the police that they saw a man jump down from the fire escape onto the shooter and later run off after she heard a third shot ring out. Gina put 2 and 2 together to figure the man fleeing was Clint.

Brad tells Cassandra that he wants an annulment or divorce which ever is quicker. Wants it kept quiet otherwise said it could be embarrassing for her and her company too. She tries to talk him out of it, give it 30 days, but he says he was duped into marriage and not interested. He won’t give it 30 seconds, wants out Now! She says she knows him and they could build an empire together. He says his pride is important to him and he wants no part of it. She agrees in the end and will handle it. Brad says he’s sorry and she does likewise.

A hospital worker makes a call to Mrs C who is calmly shocked by the news and says they can’t let him die. She wonders who would shoot him and then it dawns on her Clint. She screams out Clint’s name.

that’s how it ended. It is up on CBS All Access, Season 19.

[littleliz]

Thank you so much didn't get to see the end.

[TunerEyes]

I get that Brad’s quite the catch (loved the hedge clipper joke reference) but why was Cassandra willing to trick Brad into marriage? Like he said had it played out naturally, she’s very attractive and it could have come to that but he won’t stay in a marriage under the circumstances.

[Cassie1965]

After Cassandra is unexpectedly killed, Brad inherits everything because there divorce wasn’t final. Until that little revelation Paul Williams thought he was going to be rich beyond his wildest dreams. But unfortunately for Paul that only lasted about fove minutes...

[TunerEyes]

OMG Cassie that really was a huge twist. I knew Paul was in love with Cassandra based on that classic episode with Paul working to see to her protection from the ice gun guy that she had agreed to marry after George died and who she and Paul knew was looking to marry and murder her for her money (thanks to George dying). I had no idea that she had even married Brad let alone wanted to reconnect with Paul. So much history there!

So for as beautiful and rich as she was apparently, still don't understand why she needed/wanted to drug Brad into marrying her in Vegas. And then after letting Brad go apparently set her sites back on Paul as marriage material. Feels like I'm missing something that I'm not seeing in Y&R history threads. Was she just lonely and insecure being by herself or more to the background?

[Cassie1965]

All I can remember is that Cassandra thought Brad was hot and a very good businessman (both true) and together they could be a very successful power couple. She had thought Paul and she were finished for good after all they’d been through. But when she realized it wasn’t going to be right was Brad she wanted back with the man she really loved Paul. But she was killed, and though she wanted Paul to be her heir, Brad lucked out financially BIG TIME, inheriting all, and didn’t give Paul a plug nickel

[Imy&rb&b]

We need to get back to these episodes! I enjoyed the entire episode.

[MsMalin]

I think today's episode has been my favorite so far mainly because of Dru esp when she met Neil.

[islezeus]

Really, you get a call your son is shot and is at the hospital in critical condition and, instead of rushing to the hospital, you decide to pace around the room in a soliloquy about who could've shot Brock and AHA! it comes to you that it was Clint. Smh

[APR]

I wish they would have a week of the very first episodes.
