Y&R Character Description – Elena

Elena Dawson




Elena Dawson

Elena came to Genoa City in 2019. She had been a medical resident, but she took a leave of absence to care for her uncle, Jett Slade. Jett also happened to be Ana’s father. Jett, who was once a major R&B artist,  had his career sidelined because of nodules on his vocal cords. Ana learned that he was her father, as an adult, and she’d put him and her cousin, Elena up in a motel room while she worked to earn enough money for Jett’s medical treatment. Devon followed his sister, Ana to the motel one day and knocked on the door. Elena answered, and that was viewers’ introduction to the character. Devon asked Elena and Jett to join him and Ana in his penthouse. Elena and Jett were uncomfortable with accepting charity, but they ultimately accepted.

Shortly afterward, Devon, who was already dealing with the loss of his wife, Hilary and their unborn child, lost his father, Neil. Elena was there for Devon and helped him through his grief. She also knew what it was like to lose a parent. Her mother, Monica, was an epileptic, and Elena took care of her. Elena was working erratic hours during her residency, and while she was at the hospital, her mom hit her head, had a seizure, and died. Elena blamed herself. She confided in Devon that she never knew her father. In addition to Devon and Ana, Elena also befriended Nate. He convinced her to apply for residency at the local hospital, and she got the job. Devon and Elena were drawn to each other, and they became a couple, though there were setbacks, because it was not easy for Devon to let go of what he’d lost. 

Elena was not always sure Devon was ready to move on, but he assured her that he was, and as a way to prove it, he packed away Hilary’s possessions. Devon surprised Elena by paying off her student loans, but instead of being pleased, she was upset that he did this behind her back. They talked through it, and he understood that he’d overstepped. At Elena’s suggestion, Devon opened a free health care clinic in a working class neighborhood, and she and Nate work there, when they aren’t at the hospital.

Y&R Character Description – Lola

Lola Rosales




Lola Rosales

The youngest of three, Lola was raised by a single mother, because her father left the family before her birth. She did not meet him until she was an adult. She has a close bond with her brothers, Rey and Arturo, but they sometimes clash because she is independent, and they can be overprotective. She first appeared in 2018, when Kyle placed an order at her food truck. Lola has been passionate about cooking since she was a small child, with a focus on Cuban cuisine. Her dream is to own her own restaurant. She was initially reluctant to start a serious romantic relationship, because she didn’t want anything to distract from her goals. However, she and Kyle were drawn to each other and became a couple.

Lola didn’t come from a wealthy family, and she was uncomfortable with what she perceived as Kyle’s frivolous spending. Their differing values was one of the reasons that the relationship was on again off again.  Just after one of Lola and Kyle’s breakups, she was attacked in, a case of mistaken identity, and hit her head when she was pushed into the Abbott pool. Kyle rescued her, but she spent a month in a coma. While in the hospital, it was discovered that she was in liver failure. Summer was a match, and Kyle offered to marry her for one year if she’d save Lola’s life. Summer accepted the deal and donated part of her liver to Lola, but Kyle left Summer, for Lola, before their terms of their agreement were met.

After Lola’s recovery, she took a job as head chef at Devon and Abby’s restaurant. Kyle and Lola were married, and her parents, Celeste and Adrian came to town for the wedding. Lola gave her father a chance, but he was still unreliable, and soon disappeared from her life again. Lola made friends with Kyle’s cousin, Theo after discovering that they had a lot in common. Kyle was jealous of Lola and Theo’s bond, and it caused friction in their marriage. Kyle realized he and Lola rushed into marriage too quickly, and he admitted to her that he still loved Summer and wanted to be with her. Lola accepted this, and they separated. As of 2020, Lola is working on opening a restaurant in Miami, while retaining her job in Genoa City. She and Theo have made plans to go on a date.

Y&R Character Description – Nate Hastings Jr.

Nate Hastings Jr.




Nate is the son of Olivia Barber and Nate Hastings Sr. Nate was a child when his father died, so he was primarily raised by his mother and stepfather, Malcolm Winters. The marriage did not last, but Nate continued to consider Malcolm a father figure. He also had a close relationship with his uncle, and godfather, Neil. Olivia is Dru’s sister, and Malcolm was Neil’s brother, so Nate is Lily and Devon’s cousin. Nate is generous and helpful, which sometimes causes friction when he gives unsolicited advice. He followed in his mother’s footsteps and became a doctor. He returned to his hometown in 2018, after the death of his girlfriend, Carolyn, and moved in with Neil. When Neil died, Nate inherited his penthouse, but he later sold it to Adam. Nate purchased Cane and Lily’s old home, and he lives there as of 2020.

His devotion to his patients has sometimes come into conflict with his personal and professional ethics. When Victor decided to fake his death, he asked Nate to help. Nate reluctantly agreed after deciding this act was necessary to protect Victor, but he later regretted participating in the plot. He argued with Abby over his ethical issues with her father’s scheme, and when she supported Victor’s actions, Nate broke up with her.

When the state medical board learned that Nate falsely declared Victor dead, they tried to revoke his medical license. He hired Amanda Sinclair to represent him and won. He and Amanda grew closer and eventually started dating.

Y&R Character Description – Mariah

Mariah Copeland




Mariah Copeland

Mariah Copeland is the daughter of Sharon Newman and Frank Barritt and twin of Cassie Newman. Sharon went into labor, and she’d been drugged, so did not know she gave birth to twins. The doctor who delivered the babies sold Mariah. Mariah was raised in Portland by an impoverished and neglectful single mother who was devoted to cult leader, Ian Ward. The woman who raised Mariah died, and she considered Ian a father figure. As an adult, Mariah was willing to lie, cheat and steal to support herself, so when Victor offered her money her to come to town and “haunt” Sharon, she took the job. Sharon thought she was hallucinating. At the time, no one realized that Mariah was tormenting her own mother or impersonating her twin sister. Mariah terrorized Sharon for months until Nick saw the Cassie lookalike and realized Sharon was not hallucinating.  Sharon and Mariah eventually discovered they were family, and Mariah reformed herself, thanks to her mother’s love and support.

Mariah was surprised to find herself developing feelings for her brother, Noah’s girlfriend, Tessa Porter. At the time, Mariah was dating Devon. Devon took Mariah, Tessa and Noah to San Francisco for a music festival. While Tessa and Mariah were alone in the hotel room, they shared a kiss. Eventually, Tessa’s relationship with Noah ended. Mariah and Tessa became a couple, but, like all soap opera pairings, there have been bumps in the road. It was difficult for Tessa to trust, and honesty didn’t come easy to her, either. Mariah knew what that was like, and because of this and her deep love for Tessa, she forgave the transgressions.

While Tessa was on tour with her ex-husband, musician, Tanner Watts, Mariah found out that Sharon had cancer, then she lost her job. She didn’t confide in Tessa, because she didn’t want to interfere with Tessa’s musical career. Mariah misconstrued a moment between Tessa and Tanner and thought they were having an affair. She impulsively reacted by sleeping with another woman. Tessa came home early, to surprise Mariah, and walked in on them. Tessa was not cheating, and Mariah was remorseful, but Tessa ended the relationship. After a grand gesture (Mariah got on stage during one of Tessa’s concerts and poured her heart out in front of the whole audience), and a profuse apology, Tessa took Mariah back. In addition to Noah and Cassie, Mariah is also a sibling to Faith, and she is a role model to her younger sister.

Y&R Character Description – Amanda

Amanda Sinclair




Amanda Sinclair

Amanda Sinclair is a lawyer who moved to Genoa City from Madison. She first made contact with Devon Hamilton when she sent him a letter informing him that there was a problem with Katherine Chancellor’s will. Devon was stunned and suspicious when Amanda appeared on his doorstep, because she was the spitting image of his late wife, Hilary. Devon immediately accused her and her client of trying to swindle him out of his rightful inheritance. Amanda denied being a con-artist, and she claimed she had no idea who Hilary was.

Most people in the town were skeptical of the private and reserved Hilary lookalike. They thought she’d been hired because her looks would shake Devon up and make it easier to steal his money. She became friendly with Nate and Phyllis, but Devon and Elena remained wary. Victor hired a private investigator, to delve into Amanda’s past, and gave the report to Devon. He learned that Amanda had her online presence scrubbed, and he became even more convinced she was hiding something. He was partially right. She was hiding from someone – her possessive ex-fiance, Ripley Turner. When the relationship ended, Amanda took out a restraining order on Ripley, and he retaliated by doing the same. Amanda hid a tracker on Ripley’s car and frequently checked to make sure that he wasn’t in Genoa City. When Nate’s medical license was in jeopardy, he hired the Stanford and Yale educated Amanda to represent him. She won, keeping her perfect record intact. She decided to close her office in Madison and stay in Genoa City for awhile.

Amanda and Billy became friends after they happened to start frequenting the same dive bar. She revealed to him that she’d grown up in foster care, and she’d never attempted to find her biological family. Amanda gave Billy the non-judgmental support her was seeking, and he taught her how to seize life. Although their relationship was platonic, Billy’s decision to confide in Amanda instead of Victoria lead to him splitting up with Victoria. Victor didn’t want Victoria to take Billy back, so he lied and told her he had proof Billy and Amanda were sleeping together.

Ripley found the tracker and took it off his car, so Amanda was caught by surprise when he broke into her hotel room. He pleaded with her to take him back, but she was not interested. He was arrested, and in a move Amanda would come to regret, she dropped the charges on the condition that he left town. Ripley returned a few months later, determined to get his revenge. He followed Billy and Amanda to Victor’s 50th anniversary party and hid in the darkness, watching them talk. Due to the dimly lit setting, Ripley didn’t realize that Amanda had stepped away and that Billy was now conversing with Victoria. Ripley stabbed Victoria in the side, and caused serious damage. Amanda was guilt-ridden, because she didn’t press charges when Ripley broke into her room. There was a manhunt, and Ripley was apprehended and sent to prison.

Now that Ripley is no longer a threat, Amanda has started to relax more. Devon and Elena now understood that Amanda was hiding things to protect herself, and they apologized for the way they’d treated her. Amanda has stated that she didn’t tell many people that she’d had a stalker because she didn’t want people to pity her. Everyone learned that Amanda had nothing to do with scamming Devon out of his money, and she was completely vindicated. When Devon, Elena and Nate met a former foster child who was reluctant to accept their help, Amanda was able to get through to him. Billy expressed romantic interest in Amanda, and they kissed, but didn’t take things further. As of 2020, Amanda has started dating Nate. Lily and Billy offered Amanda a job as legal counsel for Chancellor Communcations. Billy and Amanda decided that their history wouldn’t interfere with their working relationship, so she took the job.

The Young and The Restless Rumors & Predictions

What People Are Saying and What We Think Might Happen

Kevin, Michael and Gloria


By Suzanne 4/7/24

There are rumors that CBS will pre-empted the show on Monday for the eclipse (which ABC is doing for GH), but only one newbie (not too reputable) site has said it so far, so it’s probably not true.

Courtney Hope (Sally) leaving is another rumor.

Nikki’s going to start drinking again (how many times is that?).

Claire is really in league with Jordan.

By Suzanne 12/12/21

Courtney Hope (Sally) and her new husband Chad Duell (Michael, GH) are rumored to be splitting up (after fewer than 2 months of marriage). They’ve both deleted a lot of photos of each other on Instagram.

Abby will divorce Chance, and Mariah will sue for custody of the baby.

By Suzanne 11/10/20

Chance (Danny Boaz) was shot, so the rumors have started that he’s being written out of the show. Other rumors have him paralyzed. It’s rumored that Chelsea shot Chance and framed Adam for it.

Boaz has posted, liked and retweeted some right-wing tweets, so some left-wing fans are objecting to him being on the show.  Camryn Grimes (Mariah) and Cait Fairbanks (Tessa) said some dismissive things on Twitter when Y&R tweeted fans to send some love to Chance (because of being shot). Graimes and Fairbanks are very left-wing. Anyway, this whole thing is another factor in why people are spreading the rumor that he might leave the show.

By Suzanne 6/17/20

Predictions: Gloria will return to cause trouble for her sons with some big news.  The Newmans will try to help Adam, but he’ll still be in denial until something drastic happens that makes him remember what happened when he was 11. Chelsea will stand by him.  Victoria and Victor will still have a strained relationship for awhile. Mariah and Theo grow closer. Billy hires Theo at Chancellor.

Rumors: Chadam wedding that may or may not come off. Gina Tognoni (ex-Phyllis) may return as another character. Hope was really the one who killed the man, not Adam. The show will skip ahead a few months when it returns. Kyle and Lola will reunite.  Summer and Kyle get married.  Lola tries to wreck the wedding day. Summer will get pregnant.  Theo will also cause trouble for Skyle. Things will turn passionate for Billy and Amanda.

Y&R Character Description – Theo

Theo Vanderway




Theo Vanderway

Theo’s parents died when he was young, and as he had no other relatives, he found himself alone. He and Kyle were part of the New York party scene. Though they were friends, Theo, whose blue collar roots meant he’d had to work hard for everything he had, harbored resentment toward Kyle, who had the Abbott money to fall back on. In 2019, Kyle recommended that Jabot contract with Theo’s media company, and he moved to Genoa City. Jack and Traci discovered that their mother, Dina had a baby by Stuart Brooks and placed him for adoption. This child, Eric Vanderway, was Jack, Traci and Ashley’s half brother, and Theo’s father. Jack, Traci and Ashley were eager to welcome Theo into the family fold, and Theo accepted them, although he was a bit wary about having an instant family, and he wasn’t sure where he fit in. Theo is also the nephew of Ashley and the Brooks sisters -Leslie, Peggy, Chris and Lorie. He’s cousin to Abby, Kyle and the late Colleen.

Theo’s friendship with Kyle fell apart, because he was angry that Kyle left the party life behind. At first, Theo blamed Kyle’s girlfriend, Lola for Kyle’s change, but in time, Theo and Lola found common ground and became friends. Theo teamed up with Summer to antagonize Kyle and make him jealous. Theo and Summer also dated for awhile. Kyle was unhappy about Theo being his cousin. Sometimes, Theo tried to bond with Kyle as a relative, but he also took pleasure in using their newly discovered connection to irritate Kyle. After Kyle broke things off with Lola, she and Theo made plans to go on a date.

Theo is fun-loving, creative, and competitive, but lonely. He has a jealous streak and insecurities that sometimes cause him to do underhanded things as he tries to prove that he belongs in the corporate world and in his new family. He lost jobs because he tried to sabotage his coworkers in an attempt to climb the corporate ladder. He claimed to regret for his schemes and worried that his family would turn their backs on him. Jack has compared Theo to himself as a young man, and he hopes his nephew won’t make the same mistakes.
