The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans have watched the cast change on and off screen before the series even debuted.

Season 1 of hit reality series, which follows a group of Mormon mom influencers, debuted on Hulu in September 2024 following star Taylor Frankie Paul‘s “soft swinging” sex scandal.

“We’re not all swingers,” Whitney Leavitt exclusively told Us Weekly at the time despite the scandal not affecting her “all all” in the months after the drama. “I think it’d be different if I was actually involved in it, but I wasn’t, so I just took the clout from it.”

Mayci Neely had the same takeaway, sharing with Us, “We’re not all swingers. You can be Mormon and wear a crop top and leggings as well. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the stereotypical Mormon that people think we’re all supposed to be.”

In June 2022, Taylor revealed via TikTok that her marriage to husband Tate Paul in the aftermath of the drama.

“I guess I’m pretty much known from my headlines of Swinger Mom,” Taylor exclusively told Us. “For the show, I really wanted them to see me and more of me and my personality and a deeper level. I feel like I come off so different online than I actually am in a conversation. So I felt like this was my chance to tell my story and get a deeper look into who I am.”

Layla Taylor, meanwhile, showed sympathy for Taylor’s situation.

“It was just having to remember that we’re all human and that we make mistakes,”she shared with Us. “It was a very difficult situation and it’s so public what she had to go through, and I think she handled it the best way that she could. I just forgive her because she handled it the way that she could at that moment.”

During an interview with Us, Mikayla Matthews slapped the “general” misunderstanding about MomTok.

“We’re not all just this perfect united front,” she told Us. “I feel like on social media, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, there’s these eight faces on the screen and they’re all dressed in the same outfit. They look unified, they look put together,’ and our show really kind of cuts back on all of that, all the perception. We’re normal, I guess.”

Keep scrolling to see the cast before the show came out — and what they look like now:

Nicole Kidman‘s ex-husband, Keith Urban, isn’t pleased with her close relationship with her “Scarpetta” co-star, Simon Baker.

The actress and Baker are longtime friends and have appeared to grow even closer since Kidman’s divorce, as seen in their chummy appearance at the premiere of their latest project.

Seeing their tighter bond has reportedly left Keith Urban feeling “betrayed,” and he is hoping there isn’t more to Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker’s relationship.

Nicole Kidman’s Ex-Husband Hopes There’s Nothing More Between The Actress and Her Co-Star, Sources Claim

Earlier in the month, Nicole Kidman debuted a new project, “Scarpetta,” in which she stars alongside her longtime Aussie friend, Simon Baker.

Arriving at the premiere at the time, the Aussie actors got tongues wagging with their very chummy interaction, which included holding hands and smiling at each other.

They also reportedly snuck off to an after-party together, an act that further raised eyebrows.

Subsequently, rumors began that there might be more to the duo’s friendship, which reports have now revealed left Kidman’s ex-husband feeling “betrayed.”

“Keith is hoping they’re just hamming it up for headlines,” a source told Woman’s Day of the singer whom Kidman was married to for nearly two decades.

They added, “But even then it feels to him like it’s a betrayal because both Nicole and Simon know how much even the hint of a romance between them will hurt him.”

Keith Urban Already Suspected His Ex-Wife And Her Co-Star Were Getting Close

In “Scarpetta,” Kidman plays a forensic pathologist named Kay Scarpetta, while Baker portrays FBI profiler, Benton Wesley.

Outside of their jobs, their characters share a romantic connection that often involves scenes of them kissing and other displays of affection.

Even after filming the project, the chemistry between Kidman and Baker remained evident, as seen in interviews promoting the series, including a question-and-answer session with Vogue Australia.

All of these have reportedly not gone unnoticed by Urban, and according to a source, it was something he had expected and was quite unhappy about.

“He already suspected they were getting close while filming. This is his worst nightmare come true,” the insider further revealed.

“He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are,” the source added.

The Singer Doesn’t Really Communicate With Nicole Kidman Since Their Divorce

In the past, Urban had often attended such Hollywood events with Kidman, and this may have been the case if the duo hadn’t ended their marriage.

Now, as a single man, the singer may not make an appearance at such events anytime soon, as sources have recently revealed that he has been frozen out of Hollywood.

“Keith used to be everywhere with Nicole,” a source told Rob Shuter’s #ShutterScoop. “Now he’s nowhere.”

“He was always her plus-one,” the source added. “He wasn’t getting those invites on his own.”

The source also claimed that Urban’s access to Hollywood events came through his relationship with Kidman, and now that they have split, it has been revoked.

Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman’s Communication Has Detoriated Since Their Split

As part of Urban and Kidman’s divorce agreement, the duo agreed to co-parent their children, Sunday Rose and Faith.

However, according to reports, their communication has deteriorated in the wake of the divorce, raising questions about how well the co-parenting plan is working.

“Nicole and Keith don’t really communicate,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Things got really bad at the end of their relationship and haven’t rebounded.”

They added, “Keith seems to really want to live the single life, almost like a midlife crisis since the split. He’s turned into a totally different person. It’s like she doesn’t know him at all anymore.”

Keith Urban Is Trying To ‘Patch Things Up’ With His Daughters

Beyond the dynamics between Urban and Kidman, it also appears that the singer’s relationship with his children with the actress is on shaky ground, as their daughter, Sunday Rose, acknowledged her mother in an Elle Australia feature.

The situation with his children has reportedly left the singer worried and hurt, but he remains determined to do his best to stay present in their lives.

“He’s hurt, but he feels like he can patch things up,” the source continued about the “Somebody Like You” crooner. “He knows he has a lot of work to do to repair things with them. But he’s determined to do it.”

Netflix doesn’t get a global #1 by accident. And this pirate epic is clarifying exactly why that is true. This Pirates of the Caribbean better alternative is a ship-crew fantasy with constant momentum, bright humor, and fights that feel like immersive set-piece cinema. Add in the fact that Netflix’s own weekly data has credited it with 136.2 million hours viewed in a recent reporting window, and you’re looking at a franchise-scale performer.

As per FlixPatrol, the show is sitting at #1 in an overwhelming spread of countries including major markets like India, Pakistan, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and Portugal, plus dozens more. In several other territories, it’s not even competing; it’s camped at the top: Austria is #1 every day from March 14 through today, the UK holds #2 today, and the U.S. remains #3 today while still outranking most of the platform’s newer churn. Even where it isn’t #1, it’s largely living in the top band (#2–#4), which is the signature of a show being watched globally, not merely sampled. One Piece‘s biggest competitor right now is, fitting enough, another anime, with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure coming out of nowhere to steal the #1 global spot on Netflix.

The title behind the takeover is One Piece (Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga series). It has been 10 days since the show’s Season 2 was released on March 10, 2026, and it came after a wait of almost three years (One Piece Season 1 was released in August 2023). According to the viewing stats, the show’s ranking surge isn’t expected to slow anytime soon.

Casting (Re)Directors — The Collider TV Quiz!

When a new actor takes over an existing role, audiences can be wary. On this first day of spring, let’s look at some characters who got fresh starts.

‘One Piece’ Season 2 Starts Off With a Bang and Ends on a Calmer Note

One Piece Season 2 hits the gas the moment the crew punches into the Grand Line. The sea stops feeling like a route and becomes a living trap with its own rules, storms, and threats. Then Little Garden blows the world open: Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and the gang stumble into a prehistoric island where giants and dinosaurs rule.

That, paired up with Roronoa Zoro’s (Mackenyu) 100-kill fight, is the hook. But after that adrenaline, the story intentionally softens when they meet Tony Tony Chopper (Mikaela Hoover). Compared to Season 1’s nonstop recruitment sprint, Season 2 feels more mature, and after the long wait, it earns that evolution, setting up an even stronger Season 3.

One Piece is currently trending globally on Netflix and for the right reasons. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Former “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” star Rachel Lindsay has broken her silence on the drama surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul. The latter was set to lead the next season of the ABC reality series; however, the network shut things down after a video of her assaulting her ex, Dakota Mortensen, was shared online. During an episode of the “Bachelor Party” podcast, Lindsay shared her thoughts on the matter and even predicted what she believes might happen to the franchise.

Former ‘Bachelor’ Star Rachel Lindsay Breaks Silence On Taylor Frankie Paul, Says Her Scandal ‘Completely Destroyed’ The Series

“I think it’s over,” Lindsay said on an episode released on March 20. “I was trying to think of a scenario where it could be different, because this isn’t just, ‘Oh, we put it all on a person. This person did this.’ This is the system that allowed this to happen.”

Lindsay went on to say that the ABC series is “tainted” by the ongoing drama surrounding Paul and her ex. “How do you move forward past that? You can’t.”

Video Of Taylor Frankie Paul Striking And Throwing Chairs At Her Ex-Boyfriend, Mortensen, Has Been Shared Online

Lindsay’s comments come a day after a shocking video of Paul assaulting Mortensen had been shared online. According to The Blast, the video was from an incident that occurred in 2023 and was consistent with what was shared during the first episode of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” in September 2024.

In the video, Paul is seen hitting Mortensen, pulling his hair, and even appears to wrap her arms around his neck. Elsewhere in the video, Paul can be seen throwing heavy, metal chairs at Mortensen, one of which later hit her five-year-old daughter.

“This is called physical abuse. This is all you do,” Mortesen said in the clip. “It’s the only thing you know how to do is hurt me. You think this is OK? It’s not OK. Holy sh-t.”

The video also showed Mortensen attempting to distance himself from Paul; however, the Hulu reality star continued to engage with him. “Leave me alone,” Mortensen said repeatedly.

ABC/Disney Pulls The Next Season Of ‘The Bachelorette’ Following Taylor Frankie Paul’s Video

The horrifying video sparked much backlash, with many calling for ABC to cancel the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette.” According to The Blast, the network did just that.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement.

“Glad they canceled her,” someone wrote. “Abuse goes both ways. Putting your child in danger.”

“Absolutely horrendous behavior,” another shared. “That poor child.”

Paul Breaks Silence After Deciding To Scrap Latest Season Of ‘The Bachelorette’

Paul broke her silence after the news that ABC pulled her season of “Bachelorette” became public.

“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” a representative for the TikTok sensation said.

“There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.”

Production Of ‘Secret Lives’ Halted After Second Alleged Dispute

Another report from PEOPLE said that production on season 5 of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has been paused following reports that Paul was involved in another alleged dispute with Mortensen in February 2026.

“They are not filming,” a source shared. “Taylor Frankie Paul has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”

Another insider told the outlet that the women have been distancing themselves from Paul following the reports. “None of the women want to be associated with her,” they said.

Authorities from the Draper City Police Department confirmed an active investigation involving Paul and Mortensen.

Every generation of filmmakers has tried to interpret her works on the big screen, which makes for a very interesting watch. A Murder on Orient Express, The Mirror Crack’d, Appointment with Death, and more are beloved classics enjoyed by fans worldwide.

Sometimes actors quit; other times they’re fired. On this first day of spring, we’re recalling some famous roles that got a fresh start with a recast.

What’s ‘A Haunting in Venice’ About?

A Haunting in Venice finds self-exiled, retired Poirot living in Venice. Things take a turn when he’s persuaded by a friend to attend a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. He gets thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets when one of the guests is murdered.

After weeks of speculation around when Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Chloé Zhao’s reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, would finally premiere, the Slayer herself was forced to post an Instagram reel to tell Scoobies all over the world that the project would no longer be moving forward with Hulu.

With new and original Buffy fans alike, eager to revisit the Hellmouth with a Gen Z Slayer, this announcement really felt like a stake through the heart at a time when seeing someone fight the good fight is so desperately needed. Hulu’s decision to cancel the new Buffy project is particularly puzzling. The fans were vocal and dedicated, it was being made by an Oscar-winning director and the original star, and it’s golden IP for the company. So what went wrong?

Hulu’s ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Reboot Plans Started Off Strong

New Sunnydale was the first Buffy project since the original series premiered in 1997 to involve Sarah Michelle Gellar, giving it a sense of legitimacy and success even with just a pilot order. In interviews, Gellar made clear that her decision to return to the role was closely tied to the creative leadership of Chloé Zhao, whose latest film Hamnet was nominated for 8 Academy Awards. Zhao calls herself a fierce, long-term fan of Buffy, and her stewardship of the series away from creator Joss Whedon had Gellar surprisingly saying yes. With two huge names at the center, the Buffy revival quickly snowballed, gathering a wealth of fan support. At a time when Hulu executives were commissioning a wave of successful revivals from the same era, including Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Just Unfair, Buffy seemed like a guaranteed win.

The reboot was first reported in early 2025.

There has been a continuous appetite for Sunnydale since Season 7 ended in May 2003 and audience engagement was matched by a visible push from Gellar herself. She used social media to build excitement, sharing updates from development and even posting the Zoom call where she introduced the new Slayer, Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Known for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Armstrong, aged 16, represented a clear generational handover, while Gellar’s return as Buffy provided a strong hook. Additional casting, including The Studio’s Chase Sui Wonders in a guest role and Sarah Bock from Severance, made the project all the more enticing. By the time the pilot finished filming in Los Angeles in August 2025, the revival had already generated significant buzz. A release window in late 2026 or early 2027 was expected, and it seemed to be moving forward with confidence. That is what made the announcement on March 14 feel so unexpected.

Hulu Shouldn’t Have Cancelled ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale’

The cancellation of New Sunnydale unfolded in a way that only deepens this sense of confusion. According to Gellar in an interview with People, Craig Erwich, President of the Disney Television Group and head of Hulu Originals, called to say the project would not be moving forward. Gellar was attending her first SXSW and was about to head on stage to promote Ready or Not 2 and had been answering questions about the revival in press interviews at the festival. Director Chloé Zhao was ready to attend the Oscars that same weekend. Gellar pointed to the timing, noting that the news arrived on “what should have been Chloe’s victory lap for an incredible film and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard on,” adding, “that says something.” The sense that the announcement overshadowed what should have been a major professional weekend for both women has now become a big part of how the project will be remembered.

Gellar stated that one executive had been a consistent obstacle, describing them as someone who “was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that [they] had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for [them].” That dynamic, she suggested, shaped the development process from the beginning, creating an “uphill battle.” This executive has since been identified in reports from Variety as newly-promoted Craig Erwich, raising further questions about how a project built on such a well-known and widely loved property could be overseen by someone openly dismissive of it. The reaction from fans was immediate and intense. Petitions began circulating, videos appeared across social platforms, and there were visible efforts to push for the show’s return. Gellar said she had been reading all the responses, including messages from David Boreanaz, who played her love interest Angel on the original show.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale seemed to have it all: meaningful creative buy-in and sustained audience demand. Gellar’s return alone marked a major shift for the franchise, and Zhao’s involvement brought a level of attention and care. For now, the future of Buffy remains uncertain. The intellectual property is still held by Disney, and there have been suggestions that another version could emerge, but New Sunnydale has been slain. However, as Gellar put it to People, Buffy’s “legacy is still there” and the cancelation does not take that way.

Courtney Stodden is using her platform to share a deeply personal message, and it’s resonating. The reality star and media personality took to Instagram this week with a pair of posts, offering raw reflections on her past, women’s rights, and the ongoing fight for autonomy. From opening up about her controversial teenage marriage to calling out systemic issues affecting women, Courtney Stodden’s words are sparking conversation online.

Courtney Stodden Shares Powerful Message On Women’s Strength

In a Thursday post, Stodden posed in a moss green bra top and leggings, pairing the image with a message centered on resilience and survival. “They tried to turn us into something small. Something quiet. Something owned. But women have always been fighters,” she began. “Before we had voices, we whispered. Before we had rights, we resisted. Before we had protection, we protected each other.”

She continued with a deeply personal tone, writing, “This is for every woman who survived what was meant to break her. Every girl who was forced to grow up too fast. Every survivor of abuse. Every child bride who deserved a childhood instead of a contract.”

Reflecting On Her Past As A Teen Bride

Stodden’s message carries added weight given her own history. In 2011, at just 16 years old, she married 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, a relationship that sparked widespread controversy at the time. The couple later divorced, remarried when she was 19, and eventually split again.

Her latest post appears to directly address that chapter of her life, as she continues to reclaim her narrative and speak out about the experience.

As her post continued, Stodden made it clear she is no longer defined by her past or by how others have perceived her. “We come from women who fought so little girls wouldn’t be treated like property. We come from women who demanded laws change so our bodies would belong to us,” she said. “And we are STILL fighting. I am not a product. I am not a possession. I am not a story for someone else to control. I am a woman who lived through it and chose to rise anyway.”

She closed the post with a message of empowerment aimed directly at her followers. “To every woman reading this: your survival is power, your voice is revolution, your existence is resistance,” Stodden expressed. “And we are not done yet.”

Women’s History Month Post Takes Aim At Marilyn Monroe Narrative

Stodden also used a separate post tied to Women’s History Month to reflect on the treatment of women in the spotlight, drawing comparisons to Marilyn Monroe.

“Women’s HERSTORY month. Before the image… there was a girl. They turned her into a symbol. Blonde. Beautiful. Broken,” she wrote. “But Marilyn Monroe was more than what they sold to the world. She was a girl who was married at 16. A child forced to grow up inside a system that profited off her before she even had the chance to understand it.”

Stodden added. “She was used even in death. Those photos that helped build an empire? She wasn’t paid for them. Let that sit. She was waking up. You can see it in her later interviews. In the way she started questioning everything that once defined her. She was so close to reclaiming herself. And then she didn’t get the chance. That’s the part people avoid.”

Drawing Parallels Between Her Story And Other Women

Stodden didn’t stop at Monroe, expanding her message to include broader commentary on how women, particularly those in the public eye, are treated.

The model then asked, “How many women almost made it back to themselves before the world swallowed them whole? I don’t just see her. I recognize her. Because I was a child too. Because I know what it feels like to have your image turned into something that was never yours to begin with.”

She added, “And even now there are pieces of me that people are still trying to control.”

Courtney Stodden Opens Up On Painful Past And Reclaiming Her Story

She continued by addressing the lasting impact of her early experiences and how they’ve shaped her perspective today. “Parts of my story from a time when I was too young to have control over what was happening,” she said. “This is what people don’t understand: we were never the joke. We were the warning. Women like her. Women like Anna Nicole.”

“Women like so many of us. We weren’t given time… We weren’t given protection,” she added. “But we are still here. And this time we are telling our own story.”

PETA Campaign Adds To Stodden’s Ongoing Advocacy

Stodden’s latest posts come just days after she made another bold statement, this time through a striking campaign with PETA.

In the eye-catching ad, Stodden appears covered in what looks like black liquid, a visual meant to symbolize the suffering animals endure in the production of leather. Behind her, leather jackets are displayed on mannequins alongside the message, “Leather is a dirty business.” The campaign aims to draw attention to what the organization describes as the hidden cruelty within the leather industry.

Young and the Restless spoilers for next week include somebody begging Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) lashing out over her marriage imploding thanks to The Mustache.

So, we’re going to talk about Noah Newman (Lucas Adams), Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). Also, Sharon and Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell), plus Diane and Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk), and also Riza Thompson (Tina Casciani) and Adam. Let’s start with Noah and Nick Newman, though.

Noah Taunts Matt Clark on Young and the Restless

So, at the end of this short week on Young and the Restless that ended with back-to-back preemptions for basketball, we had Sharon Newman updating Noah and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) that Nick and Adam had landed in Vegas. And Sharon is quite worried about Nick and Adam’s plan.

And Sharon also seems worried about Noah canoodling with a woman who is his mother’s age. I just—I don’t see this lasting. And I’ve mentioned this before, but those two actors, Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun, recently played mother and son on Days. And so that’s what I see when I look at them, and other people that watch it are like just because that’s what you know them as if you watch that other soap.

Matt’s Connection to Riza on Y&R

So, Sienna talked to Sharon and Noah about Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) past with Riza in Las Vegas. Sienna suspected it was an affair and Sharon and Noah talked to Sienna about that none of them can let their guard down because Matt could be anywhere and they’re right. I suspect that he is in Genoa City and he’s ready to pounce while Nick and Adam are on what could be a dangerous wild goose chase in Las Vegas.

So Noah gets another nasty text from Matt and then Noah texts back calling Matt a coward and he’s saying things to try and lure him out of hiding, you know, insults and provocation. Sienna doesn’t think it’s a good idea to taunt Matt like that and I tend to agree.

Adam and Nick in Vegas on Young and the Restless

Meanwhile, Adam and Nick check into their suite in Vegas. The brothers Newman are bunking together. Adam wants them to keep a low profile, and Nick isn’t liking this. And I think again, that’s back to the fentanyl. So, Adam is really on edge. He hasn’t been back to Vegas, I guess, since he was Spyder the Card Shark.

And Nick is wondering if Adam is up for it. And Nick says, “I understand if you want to pack up and just go back home, Adam.” But he thinks that Nick’s trying to get rid of him. And yeah, I bet because Nick may be nervous about sharing a suite with Adam since Nick is popping illegal fentanyl like they are Tic Tacs and probably needs to go score some more illegal opioids.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam & Nick Clash

Adam is there to find Riza, who he knows from his Spyder days in Vegas. And Nick wouldn’t be able to contact her. She’s hard to reach. And Adam also warned Nick that Riza can be dangerous. But Nick thinks, of course, that he can handle her. And Adam has a plan that involves Nick lying low because you know he’s a hothead.

And of course he tells Adam that won’t happen. But he does try to chill out his hothead brother Nick. And then Adam works on setting up a meeting with Riza. He makes some calls, leaves her a message, and Nick updates Sharon who is also kind of worried about Adam. But really Nick is the problem. I think we all can agree on that.

Riza Holds Adam at Gunpoint on Y&R

So, in next week’s Young and the Restless spoilers, lots of Newman action. Nick leaves Adam alone and heads down to the casino to call Noah because, you know, casinos are always a nice quiet place to make phone calls. And Nick tells Noah they have not found Matt yet.

But Nick says Adam’s making the connections to make it happen. But Nick doesn’t know yet that things have gone sideways for Adam. Because while Nick was down there staring at the slot machines, you know, Riza finds Adam, not the other way around.

And Riza holds Adam at gunpoint and he’s joking about expecting a warmer welcome, but Rizza is suspicious. She wants Adam’s hands on his head and he’s like, “Really?” And Riza means it and demands that Adam do it right now.

So, next week we’ll find out if Riza hauls Adam out of the hotel at gunpoint or if Nick is going to come back and see Riza with a gun and respond like a drugged out hothead and, you know, tries to pounce on her and wrestle it away from her. I do suspect that Riza’s loyalties lie entirely with Matt Clark.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Christine Begs Sharon for Help with Mariah

Also, in next week’s spoilers, Sharon meets with Christine and begging is involved. So, she wanted to meet with Sharon alone and that’s so Christine could beg for Sharon’s help with Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). And I’m wondering if Christine wants Sharon to talk some sense into Mariah and let her use the insanity plea.

She already told Sharon that she wants to plead guilty because Mariah says she knew what she was doing and knew it was wrong, but she went ahead and abducted Dominic Newman. And Mariah wants to take responsibility and do the right thing. But Christine and Sharon want Mariah in a psychiatric facility where she can get help, not a prison, you know. So, we’ll see if Sharon can convince Mariah to change her mind about what plea Christine puts in.

Diane Confronts Patty on Y&R

And the last thing I want to talk about is Diane. She left Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) the moment they got back from rescuing him. Diane is disgusted that she found her husband in bed with his psycho ex-wife Patty Williams. And in case you thought Stacy Haiduk was done, she is definitely not done.

Susan Walters, who plays Diane, said in a recent interview that things are far from over with Patty and there’s going to be a really big showdown between Diane and Patty. Now, we know that Jack had been drugged with ecstasy and he also kept telling Patty to stop, but she wouldn’t listen.

And that means Jack was a kidnap victim thanks to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and then a sexual assault victim thanks to Patty and also to Victor and the drugs. And now Jack’s the victim again because his wife Diane has walked away from him instead of supporting him like a loyal spouse.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Is Patty Free or Behind Bars?

So, we will find out next week if Patty is freely roaming around Genoa City or if she was arrested. Hopefully Detective James Burrow (Matt Cohen) got hold of her. Either way, Diane’s going to hunt her down wherever she is hiding or you know jailed and she’s going to give Patty a piece of her mind.

Diane is furious that Patty had her grubby paws on Jack. She’s not going to let this slide. And the question really is, is this the same Patty we know before or has she really changed? Like she told Jack, you know, she was talking about redemption and all this stuff and Jack didn’t believe Patty and that makes a lot of sense because of the things that she’s done to Jack.

Now, I won’t say he didn’t have a little karma coming to him because he did. You know, he was sleeping with Diane on his wedding day to Patty and then even after he and Patty were married, Jack kept on boinking Diane.

Is Patty Still Crazy on Young and the Restless?

So, bottom line, if Patty is the same crazy unhinged woman that she was before, she may shoot Jack or Diane without giving it much thought and without feeling a lot of guilt about it. Because if you don’t remember, she shot Jack. He told her to.

There was this big confrontation. She was gonna shoot herself. Jack’s like, “Shoot me instead.” So, she did. And Patty also shot Victor and nearly took him out. He actually needed a heart transplant, if you recall, and he wound up with Colleen Carlton’s heart.
