The Young and The Restless 6/1/2009- Three Men and a Baby, Billy, Jack, Nick, Sharon and Phyllis

Hi All
So after a long awaited weekend, we finally know how Sharon reacted to Nick's decision to plant an infamous Nick Newman Lip Lock on her and tell her that he had decided to leave his current wife and child, to become the devoted man and possible father of the child she is carrying. I'm not a t all sure that Nick got the response that he was looking for. I know that several of us let out a sigh of relief that Sharon stuck to her guns and told Nick to stay where he was. Now the question is, did she mean it? Does anyone believe that Sharon actually loves Jack? That she will in fact be able to go through the motions of being a devoted wife knowing that Nick is willing to give up the life he currently has in order to be with her? I'm not sold on that one at all. If Sharon really wanted to end Nick's hopes of one day being with her, wouldn't a good place to have started been to tell him about the dream that she had about Cassie and her prediction? I would think that if that is what he is basing part of his decision on that she would have disspelled that myth right away. Am I alone in thinking this? Or how about mentioning that fact that the 3rd potential father is billy, Jack's brother?

Then there is the conversation between Nick and Phyllis. I love the way Phyllis instinctively knew what Nick was going to say and instead of pushing for an answer decided to leave the conversation where it was. I feel really bad for her right now, this whole situation is really tearing her apart. However at least she has a realistic view of what is going on underneath the surface of Sharon and Nicks promises to her and Jack. I also respect the fact that she is not intimidated to confront the truth.

To bad Nick doesn't respect the natural bond that he and Phyllis have together. The sad thing is Nick is so full of himself that I don't think he will ever respect Sharon's decision to choose Jack over him. He did not handle the news well and had this look of, "you really don't mean that", the whole time she was talking. He was arrogant as a child and sadly has never outgrown it. Which means in his mind he is thinking, "If I am available, Sharon won't be able to resist me." This might be the end of Phick ladies and gentlemen.

Jack on the other hand, is opting to follow his heart and belief in what ever relationship he and Sharon have. It's unfortunate that I don't think it is going to end up the way he would like it to. However Jack has a few paybacks coming to him. If ever there was a payback coming to someone this is it, and it is going to sting. Personally I think this is going to end up either being Billy's baby or Brad's. I think Brad is the best option. One would also think that all this talk of second chances that he had lately would make him want to reach out to Kyle and Keemo, what's up with reconnecting with your past and mending broken fences Jack?

Whoever the father is, I can say that this is going to be one fortunate child. It isn't even born and has every man in Genoa City ready to step up and claim the role as father.

Yet and still, my Y&R gut tells me that all of this is smooth sailing in comparison to what is going to happen once Mary Jane finds out that Sharon and Jack have reconciled. Not to mention that Sharon could be carrying Jack's Love child. Walk with me, what if Mary Jane is in fact Patty Williams and obviously off her rocker. What will she do to Sharon if she feels that Sharon has stolen the life that should have been hers, with the man she loved enough to shoot and is carrying the child she lost because of Jack? Now add to that Jack was partially responsible for her then miscarriage and is currently ready to move Heaven and Earth to support Sharon during this pregnancy. I don't know if I were the writers for Y&R I could resist tying all of this into the story line. It's just too good. They would blame Phyllis for everything going wrong, only for Paul to figure out that his sister was responsible. Classic!

What do you think?
Will Mary Jane have some sort of vendetta against Sharon?
Will Nick still leave Phyllis or will he back peddle and decide to settle for second best?
Was Sharon sincere in her plea for Nick to leave her alone?
Is she truly dedicated to her relationship with Jack?
What will happen to Nick's feelings for Sharon when he finds out she slept with Billy?
Anyone notice there has been little talk of Billy lately? Could this mean...

More to come shortly! As usual, I put enough in and left enough out for each of you to add your own ingredients. So get in the Mix!

Weekly Predictions- From a theyandr.blogspot.com fan

Mark my words, mark my words! Are y'all listening? Flat out, Sharon is gonna end up pregnant. It would be just her luck that her little romp with Nick at the cabin resulted in a pregnancy. BUT, she's been in the sack with Billy and Jack, so maybe either one of them is going to end up as the father. I predict that once she realizes that she's preggers, she's gonna confess to Jack about Billy. He's going to be so heartbroken and angry at the same time. Later on down the line in the delivery room (if the baby survives since the carrier is clearly borerline mental) when the baby is born, a paternity test is done and it will show that neither Jack or Billy are the father, then she's gonna remember that night with Nick. I hope not, but it's just a predicition. But I'm jumping ahead of the game. Once it's revealed that she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is, it's going to destroy Billy's and Jack's lives as brothers. This will be discovered after Billy and Chloe say I DO. They will, I think Billy is gonna marry Chloe just to save face about the affair with Sharon and maybe shut Phyllis up from spilling the beans. Around the rumor mill, I heard that Mac is supposed to be on the way back to town. She and Billy aren't related, (see prediction below) so will they pick up from that night that almost happened on their honeymoon and make it work for real? If so, Billy will be up to his eyeballs in women and babies and she's the one that got away, so I bet he's gonna try and go there. That's what happens when you try to be a playboy, you end up a juggler in your own circus act! Just a prediction....
Katherine/Jill situation: As predicted before, Jill is not really Katherine's daughter. If she's not Katherine's daughter, who does she belong to? It's well known in the real world that in paternity cases concerning male twins, neither male is ruled out and the DNA test will show that both are the father because they have the same DNA. I hope they don't try to say that Jill is Marge's daughter because those same rules should apply, right? BUT what if they tried to say that Kay and Marge were long lost twins and Marge was Jill's mother? Hmmm... Once it's revealed that Jill and Kay are not mother and daughter, what type of relationship will they have afterwards? Since they were close as mother and daughter will they continue as so because of the bond they formed or will they resort back to being mortal enemies? Will they try to find out who and where Kay's real daughter is? In the back of my mind, I'm thinking, what if her daughter is.......NIKKI? They have the perfect mother/daughter relationship already (even though their best friends) so that would just make their tight bond even tighter. This is what I'm thinking, but I'm just saying....
