TWO SCOOPS COLUMNS FOR OTHER SOAPS
Two Scoops is a weekly commentary column written by our staff of writers. Sometimes you might agree, and other times you might disagree. Either way, we love hearing your opinions, too, so be sure to send us your thoughts.
When it comes to what's happening on The Young and the Restless, everyone has an opinion -- and our Two Scoops columnists are no different. Every week, our commentators share their thoughts on everything that's taking place in Genoa City... the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Bourbon and the blues
Bourbon shots and blue moods make for mayhem. But for Adam and Chelsea, it was the fun kind... until they had time to think about what they'd done. Jack and Victor reignited their feud, and Diane and Kyle were roped in. Summer is furious (again), and Nick and Phyllis seem cozier than usual. Pull up a seat for this week's Two Scoops commentary -- on the rocks.

Declarations of Independence
Y&R got to celebrating the Fourth of July early this year as Kyle declared his independence from Jabot, and Devon and Lily came to blows over the idea of Chancellor-Winters operating as two independent companies again. Plus, what sort of trouble is brewing for Sharon? Our columnist has the lowdown on all that and more in this week's Two Scoops!

Take me back to the night we met
Josh Morrow celebrates 30 years in Genoa City and tells his kids about the night he met their mother. Victor double-crosses Audra. Tucker fakes a heart attack but doesn't fake his death. We have one twin alive, and I am not convinced it's the good twin. Let's unpack in this week's Two Scoops.

Wigs, wide brim hats, and shades
No need for any further disguises, Phyllis has finally turned herself in. And Michael went to Singapore to save Gloria -- wait, what?!? Let's discuss this and other weirdness in this week's Two Scoops

Take this job and shove it
Corporations merging, people changing career paths, and nobody knowing if it's for better or worse. Everyone's looking for greener pastures. In this week's Two Scoops, the focus is on corporate mergers and career changes, which seem to be running rampant in Genoa City.

Goodbye, farewell, but no amen
There have been too many goodbyes when, almost immediately after a loved one's departure, another beloved character appeared to be on the way out also. Will Tara's diabolical plan backfire and chase away the very person she desires as her own? Will Chelsea return with Connor after Adam trusted her to leave town with his son? Will Victoria be able to let go when Ashland's time has come to an end? And where's Mariah? It's pouring cats and dogs (or not) in Two Scoops.

The Fisher kings: Dysfunction junction
How many of us really have the ideal family life that is harmonious and well balanced? Methinks not many. We have all known at least one dysfunctional family, but when it comes to soaps, do well-balanced families even exist? Y&R's Fisher/Baldwin family epitomizes dysfunctional, so it's time to dissect the family and find some of the fun in their dysfunction.

It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world (Except for Lola)
We met Chelsea's husband just in time for him to die, but did his presence mean anything? Everyone's suspicious of everyone else, and most of them have cause. It's a crazy, mixed-up week in Genoa City, and our writer has no idea where things are going. Let's jump in as we scoop about it.

Riding the karma train
The karma train made a stop in Genoa City, and several residents got tickets to ride. On hand when the conductor shouted, "All aboard," were Nick, Victor, Billy, Jack, and Hilary. Find out who had good karma credit and who had bad in this week's Two Scoops.
