  >> FF:

  THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

  What is Y&R’s plan to attract more viewers to this sinking ship? On today’s American episode, Y&R apparently thinks having Sharon and Victor kiss, and YoHarmony and Tucker getting horizontal will attract eyeballs. Good luck with that, Y&R. While Tucker is shit-faced — in front of an addict — he beds his baby mama, Harmony, as Ashley walks in! I was perplexed since, moments before, Harmony was counselling Tucker on saving his strained marriage to Ashley. And, scene: Tucker and Harmony rubbing their old parts up against each other almost made me throw up my protein shake. Does that mean YoHarmony is off the wagon? Surely, whatever Tucker was imbibing is inside of her now — literally! And would someone please tell me what the hell is happening with Stephen Nichols’s hair? It needs its own zip code!
