    Tug of War!

    Thursday, January 22 2009
    Brad fights back, Amber takes Katherine for tests, and Daniel hatches a plan with Kevin!


    At Newman Enterprises, Victor tells Victoria that he wants to get rid of Brad Carlton from the Board of Directors. Victoria leaves. JT and Brad come into the room. JT explains that Brad is upset because he cannot log on to the Board of Directors online site. Victor says he has blocked his access - this is a family company and he wants him out! Brad threatens to sue Victor, who laughs and tells him to go ahead!



    Nikki and Paul are at Crimson Lights, they discuss the latest issue of Restless Style, and also Katherine's book. Paul walks over to Kevin and Daniel and asks Kevin for more information on the woman claiming to be Kay. Paul says if it's really her, he'll help her, but if it's a hoax, it needs to stop now! Kevin tells Paul about Murphy. When Nikki walks up, he pretends to be discussing sports tickets. Nikki and Paul leave.



    Amber arrives at the trailer and Katherine and Murphy greet her happily. Amber refers to the trailer and reminds Katherine that she once told her that true class meant being able to be comfortable no matter where you are! They discuss Katherine's lack of memories and Amber suggests that she go to see a doctor. Murphy says he tried to get her to go, but she would have no part of it. Amber tells her she was having memory troubles before the accident, and that this is the way to get home! Katherine agrees to go, and Amber phones Daniel to fill him in.



    JT finds Victoria in her office and recounts what went on between Victor and Brad. Victoria says Brad seems serious about fighting for his seat on the board. She tells JT it will probably get ugly.



    Colleen and Brad meet at the GCAC and discuss getting away together. Colleen talks about Abby's new laptop, and Brad says she seems to have a lot of new toys lately! He then offers to get Colleen something - anything she needs, he'll take care of it! Abby joins them and mentions that there is a parent-teacher interview session at her school this afternoon. Brad is upset that he wasn't notified and takes off. Abby and Colleen check out JT's photo in Restless Style. Abby says he is so hot, and Colleen laughs, saying that looking back, she might have done some things differently when she dated him. Just then, JT and Victoria walk in. They all exchange greetings, and as Vikki walks over to see her mother, Colleen teases JT about the photo shoot. Across the room, Nikki complains to her daughter that she still misses Katherine. They discuss Victor, and Nikki remarks that he is all about Ashley and Abby now!



    Ashley meets up with Victor at Abby's school for the parent-teacher interview. The teacher is surprised to see Victor there, and Ashley explains the connection. They are in the middle of discussing which level of French class Abby should be in when Brad arrives. He insists that they start over from the beginning! Once the interview is finished. Brad informs Ashley and Victor that he will always be Abby's father in every way that matters, saying, "I'm not handing over my daughter - or my seat on the board!" Ashley sighs as Brad storms out. She tells Victor that this fighting scares her. Victor says Brad just needs to understand that they are with him now! Ashley reminds Victor that Abby grew up with Brad, and Victor and Brad will have to find a way to co-exist.



    Back at the coffee house, Daniel and Kevin discuss Katherine. Daniel says that she has agreed to go to the doctor with Amber. Kevin says he is still upset that Amber accused him of murder, but he agrees to help figure out how to help Katherine. Daniel fills Kevin in on the ring. They agree that they need to track it down. Kevin suggests that if the pawnshop owner isn't forthcoming, they'll just have to take the ring back! Daniel says he likes how he thinks!



    Paul arrives at Murphy's trailer as Amber and Katherine are leaving for the doctor's office. Paul thinks back to his conversation with Nikki about dropping the case. He knocks on the door and when Murphy answers, he says he is from the Census Bureau and needs to ask him some questions. Murphy invites him in. Paul asks who is living there and Murphy tells him. Paul bonds with him over fishing, and then gets him to sign his clipboard before leaving. Outside, Paul preserves Murphy's fingerprints.



    At the doctor's office, Katherine answers questions about her memory loss. The doctor decides to run some tests to try and find out what is wrong with her. The doctor warns that the tests may be expensive, but Amber tells him she'll cover it - go ahead! Katherine becomes upset when the doctor tells her that he will be looking for signs of a stroke, or even Alzheimer's! As the doctor goes to run the tests, Amber comforts her.



    Still at the GCAC, Victoria and Nikki talk as JT goes out to bring the car around after lunch. Victoria tells Nikki not to feel bad about Ashley. Nikki claims it doesn't bother her - she's used to Victor moving on and not looking back. She wonders how long it will last this time. Nearby, Brad rejoins Colleen and Abby. He fills Abby in on her classes, and Colleen offers to help anytime. Brad smiles and says that sounds good - he'd actually like them to be together as a family. Brad tells his girls he'd like them to come and live with him. Colleen is reluctant, but Brad promises to treat her like an adult. Colleen leaves without agreeing to anything. Brad tells Abby that regardless of what Colleen does, he'd like her to move in. Abby protests that she likes the Ranch, and she wants to stay there! Just then, Ashley walks in and asks Abby what's wrong. Abby goes out to wait for her in the car, and Ashley asks Brad what he said to upset her so much! Ashley warns Brad she won't sit back and watch him and Victor play tug of war over Abby! After she leaves, Brad calls his lawyer and tells him to file for full custody of Abby!



    Victor is back at Newman issuing orders to get Brad off the board by next week. When he leaves the room, JT tells Victoria that finding a reason to get him off the board would be easy - corporate espionage! Victoria says there is no telling what Victor would do if he knew the truth about Brad stealing files from Newman before!



    Paul returns to the GCAC to meet Nikki. He tells her what he's been up to, and says he wants to go back and interview the woman claiming to be Katherine. Paul wants Nikki to come along - no one knows Katherine like she does! Nikki agrees to see the woman one last time, and Paul promises that if it's not really her - they'll prosecute!



    Next on The Young and the Restless:

    Daniel and Kevin ask Amber if she's down for breaking into the pawnshop!

    Nick listens as Phyllis pleads with Brad to do something about Sharon before she makes another play for her husband!

    Victor looks amused as Heather tells him she still believes he's guilty and she is going to keep looking for proof!

    Brad should be out of the company...a little more notice would be professional. Im not really too fond of Brad, but it is a little unfair to have Ashley try to cut him out of Abby's life. He always thought of her as his daugther and was there for her when she was small. Abby is always going to think of Brad as her second dad and Ashley should respect that bond that Brad and Abby have as well as Victor.
    Seeing Abby and Colleen together was nice. Sister's bonding

    Kinda a boring one today...lol

    Today was a total bore. I'm kinda sad to see Brad leave the show losing everything. In a way I think he could provide Sharon she so rightfully deserves.

    Im tried of people thinking that phyliss is the victim. She's is not, you steal someone else husband and then try to make a stand that you just to keep your family together. How can you do that Phyliss if you don't trust your husband. Phyliss says she loves Nick, but then she's withold infomation that could prove that jack set up her gusband father. Ye i feel the love, NOT!.

    i'm alo happy that paul will help Mrs. C if she's who says she is. still sad that amber is the only one that remember that Mrs. C was forgetting things before she was thought to have died.

    This whole tug of war over abby is stupid. Victor is using abby. He's only using her as a coping mechnism. Brad is Abby father. Abby is so spoil to see that Victor is trying to buy her love.

    Hi everybody. I kind of thought today's episode was a little boring with the exception of the Mrs.C storyline. Happy that Amber is still on Katherine's side and went to the doctor with her. She is really stepping up to the plate and showing her what true friends they were. It won't be long before the truth comes out and everyone finds out that Mrs.C is the real deal. I love the friendship that Katherine and Amber share.Victor is just buying Abby's affections and love and he is doing it to get to Brad. Brad may have made some huge mistakes in his past, but he has always been Abby's father in every way that matters. This is just another competition for Victor and if Ashley has any sense at all she will put a stop to this nonsense and stick to it. It is nice to see that Kevin/Daniel/Amber/Jana are all going to work together to help get the ring back. These four are hilarious when they get in trouble and I can't wait to see them in action again. Great day everyone!

    I think Ashley is being inconsiderate regarding Brad. He should have been included in what's gong on with Abby's classes. As for gong after full custody, that's a bit too much. Ashley would have to be proven to be an unfit mother for that to happen. I think the reason that Abby does not want to move in with Brad is because of all the things that Victor is buying her.

    I'm glad that Nikki has decided to give this Katherine thing another look.

    Posted by cowboys fan at Thursday, January 22 2009 03:34 AM

    Oops, suppose to read as for going for full custody. Sorry.

    Posted by BeautifulEyz at Thursday, January 22 2009 04:24 AM

    I really hate how they are treating Brad... Geez ! he's getting ready to leave the show Cut him some slack...
    *********** SPOILER ALERT************
    Dont know how true this is but supposedly Brad last air date is Feb.3 After Sharon rejects Brad's latest advance ath the cabin he goes out into the blizzard (freezing to death???).
    Sharon and Nick hit the sheets Feb. 4th (Whoo !!! Hooh !!) they get stranded in the cabin

    Posted by Brendamouse at Thursday, January 22 2009 04:26 AM

    Really Victor?? Brad has always been Abby's father and you had a nice place in the background of her life, now you want to cut him out of her life completely? Doesn't make any sense to me. Just another power play on his part I think.

    Phyllis just won't stop conniving. She is her own worst enemy in this scenario.

    Go Amber, be by the side of Katherine when her "family and friends" abandon her. It seems to me that the total lack of curiousity on the part of Jill and Nikki is forced.

    - Gee Looks Like Bradski's Being Squeezed Out Of The Newman Board Of Directors By Mumbly Grumbly Victor Newman, Sr. Himself!

    Apparently 1st Victor's going 2 put the 1st dagger n2 his former son-in-law's back Bradski Carlton by outting him from Newman Enterprises 4 ever because he's not married 2 Victoria anymore.
    Damn Bradski my dear, you having a very bad day 2day!
    Now this is worst when you left Jabot at 1st, then came over 2 Newman.
    I guess your life is starting 2 become unraveled within the workforce.
    Poor Sharon's not even talking 2 u, because of what Phyllis made you do 4 her.
    Now Victor's taking your parental rights away from his daughter Abigail "Abby" Carlton (Newman), so you won't have any legal claim rights 2 her even if she goes by the name of Carlton instead of her "Newman Family Name" which is rightfully hers anyway by birth.
    Too bad that Ashley didn't let you put your seed in her Bradski my dear! (lol)
    Nikki made damn sure that Diane Jenkins, didn't Victor's seed either- but she messed up and Ashley got Victor's seed that she was trying 2 keep 4 herself!
    I feel sorry 4 "Trampoleen" being your only blood heir of a daughter, Bradski that you can claim with Traci Abbott- Connolly 4ever.
    You know Bradski dear, that really makes your daughter Colleen and Abby cousins and not really sisters at all here.
    Victor once said that you could raise Abby up, because he said you that you were a better father 2 her than he was back then.
    I'm so sorry that you lost your baby with then wife Victoria Newman-Carlton almost about 2 years ago.
    My goodness Bradski, you almost had "the golden keys" within your very reach what happened 2 it all?
    Oh lets see what happened, you got hooked up with Phyllis, Jack Abbott at then N.V.P. Company, House Of Kim/Ji_Min Kim and had a job at Newman on The Board Of Directors under then "Newman, Jr." Adam who's currently being held at the State Pen 4 1 year and 6 months 4 helping Jack n writing the forged diary of Victor's.
    Why isn't good ole soon-2-b-divorced-smilin' Jack Abbott behind bars himself now?!
    Is anyone safe from Victor Newman's clutches are claws here, i wonder?!
    Surely yet still D. A. Heather Stevens, is going 2 catch you Victor, Sr. with Jack following in tow some day at least 4 something else that you done.
