Sally Holds the Power to Take Cane Down After Billy's Bold Move on Y&R August 13
In the August 13 episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy made a potentially game-changing decision. In a decisive moment, he handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally, which gives her the means to hit Cane where it hurts most. Will she be up to wielding that much power against such a formidable adversary? Billy Hands Over Abbott Communications Billy (Jason Thompson) made a decisive move that could shift the power dynamics in Genoa City's corporate battles. He handed control of Abbott Communications to Sally (Courtney Hope). The handoff wasn't hesitant—Billy gave her his full support to lead the media company her way. This wasn't simply about delegation. By putting Sally in charge, Billy placed her in a prime position to use the company's influence in the brewing war with Cane (Daniel Goddard). MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. A Strategic Weapon Against Cane Cane has been maneuvering to expand his reach, building alliances, and keeping his next move under wraps. But Abbott Communications could be a potent weapon, and Sally holds the trigger. Sally now has access to a corporate platform capable of shaping public perception, directing media narratives, and leveraging business connections that could directly impact Cane's ability to operate in Genoa City. Her leadership at Abbott Communications could turn the company into a precision tool aimed squarely at dismantling his plans. High Stakes for Everyone Involved The move comes with risk. Billy knows Cane's ambitions could threaten both Jabot and Chancellor, and his family might see his maneuver as dangerous. But in his view, positioning Sally where she can counter Cane is worth the gamble. Sally, never one to shy away from high-pressure opportunities, is now able to affect Cane's fate. She could choose to use her leverage for maximum damage, or she might keep her powder dry and negotiate for strategic advantage. What Happens Next? The big unknown is how Sally will choose to play this. A fast, aggressive move could destabilize Cane quickly, but it also risks drawing counterattacks from a man known for making bold plays of his own. A slower, more strategic approach could allow her to tighten the pressure until Cane has no room to maneuver. Plus, there's a chance Cane will underestimate Sally since she's relatively unknown in the business world. Either way, Billy's bold handoff has set the stage for a high-stakes showdown—and Sally's next decision could change everything. WATCH THIS: Soap Hub Says discusses the latest soap drama.

Beyond the Gates Crosses Over With The Young and the Restless — What Brings Devon to Fairmont Crest?
As of Aug. 11, Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless officially exist in the same universe. Monday's episode of Beyond the Gates welcomed Bryton James as his Y&R character Devon Winters, and he had serious business to discuss with the first family of Fairmont Crest. More from TVLine Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Save the Dates: Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2, Outer Banks Team's New Show and More Mike Colter to Star in Cupertino Legal Drama From Evil's Robert and Michelle King Devon entered the country club dining room towards the end of the hour, where he received a warm welcome from Anita and Vernon, who were apparently close friends with his father (played by the late Kristoff St. John). 'How we miss Neil,' Anita said. 'His smile, his big heart, his love of music.' Devon admitted to being nervous the first time his father introduced him to Anita at Indigo (aka the old jazz club on Y&R), but he seems much more at ease now — which is good, because he had a 'mind-blowing proposition' for the lead singer of the Articulettes. After being 'blown away' watching a livestream of the reunion concert, Devon knew he had his 'next platinum project' for his jazz label Winter's Mood, offering Anita a recording contract for a new album on which she would have 'complete creative control.' It was a tempting opportunity, but Anita replied, 'I simply don't have the bandwidth to record, let alone produce, an album at the moment.' Vernon suggested that Anita take a few days to reconsider, but she insisted that she needs to stay close to her family. Devon even offered to book a studio in D.C. to keep her nearby, but her mind had already been made up. She did, however, offer an enticing alternative: what if he signs Tracy and Sharon, with Anita appearing as a featured artist on several tracks? Even better, they can rerelease 'Let's Get Closer,' this time with Barbara's vocals included. It wasn't the deal he came for, but Devon seemed pretty pleased with the outcome of his brief meeting with Anita, telling her and Vernon to check out the new Winters Lounge at the Genoa City Athletic Club the next time they're in town. He also bumped into Dani on his way out of the country club. It was a blink-and-you-missed-it encounter, but Dani definitely liked what she saw. James, who was first introduced to TV viewers as Family Matters tyke Richie Crawford, has forged an impressive career in daytime. His work as Devon on The Young and the Restless, a role he has played since 2004, has earned him two Daytime Emmy Awards. Did you enjoy Beyond the Gates' first major crossover? Are you hoping that Anita will return the favor with a trip to Y&R? And which other residents of Genoa City would you like to see in Fairmont Crest? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa nearly drowned in surf accident during dangerous Maui trip
Jason Momoa is known for playing "Aquaman" on screen, but in real life, he had a different kind of experience with the ocean. The actor revealed he almost drowned during a harrowing 2007 surf trip off the coast of Maui, as he described the moment in chilling detail on Monday's episode of the "SmartLess" podcast. "I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws," Momoa said, as he referred to the infamous Peʻahi surf break known for its massive, deadly waves. "We paddled like 13 miles down the coast. You're kind of almost a mile offshore, and then my leash snapped. We're about seven miles into it and my leash snapped, and it's so windy on Maui." Momoa, 46, continued to detail how the violent waves crashed around him, but his previous water training kept him afloat – for a while. "I was trained pretty well, so I was fine," he said. "I took quite a few on the head. They're pretty big, like 10-foot Hawaiian waves. But I'm probably half a mile at that point offshore." The Hollywood star added that he reached a breaking point during the surf incident, which was nearly fatal. "I was stuck in this crazy spot, which is probably the outer reef and unknown to me. I was really on the outer reef and they couldn't see me," he recalled. "I had my paddle and I was waving it and they couldn't see me, and the waves were so big." And then, everything hit him at once — including the fear he wouldn't make it back to his daughter, who was an infant at the time. When his thoughts turned to his daughter Lola Iolani, then 3 months old, the actor said, "I just lost it, I was like, 'Oh s---.'" At that moment, Momoa remembered being exhausted, drifting and alone. He felt that his survival instincts had failed. "I was out there for a while, and I just couldn't see anyone coming to get me. I couldn't move anymore, and my arms and my legs gave up… My body stopped. Like I couldn't move my arms anymore, and I bubbled down. Then my toe hit the outer reef. I literally gave up, and I'm screaming inside." When Momoa thought it was the end, a friend spotted him, and he had to continue to push through the rough waters. "I get back on the board and we start paddling," he said. "He's like, 'You got to go out,' so we just keep paddling out." The two were soon thrown from their boards by "brutal" waves and strong currents. With seven grueling miles still to go, Momoa was bleeding, battered and running on fumes. "My feet are covered in blood," he said. "And I'm just literally [with] my ancestors just paddling the rest of this way, head down and we get out." The Hollywood actor luckily made it to shore. The "Baywatch" actor is currently dating actress Adria Arjona after the couple worked together in 2021's "Sweet Girl." Momoa and Arjona went public with their relationship in May 2024. Momoa was previously married to "The Cosby Show" star Lisa Bonet. The two married in 2017 before splitting in 2020. Momoa and Bonet filed for divorce in January 2024. The former couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their two children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf. Bonet and Momoa agreed to "share the living expenses" of the minor kids and will not pay child support to one another, the court docs, obtained by Fox News Digital at the time, stated.
