Young & Restless' Murder Investigation Will Bring a Mountain of Trouble Down on [Spoiler]… *Despite* an Ironclad Alibi
While the likes of Jack and Diane roamed the maze, the shocking murder of Damian Kane took place in the statue garden. Phyllis witnessed the tail end of the attack, Cane, of course, was with the victim, and his lawyer, Amanda, was with Lily, but everyone else has yet to account for their whereabouts at the time of the killing.

As Young & Restless' Murder Mystery Explodes, Eyebrow-Raising New Questions Arise About Cane
Whilst foundering in the greenery, Diane wondered aloud to Jack where their son Kyle might be… and who he might be with. Jack worked to assauge her concerns by declaring that he may not trust Audra Charles, but he trusts their son implicitly. We're not sure why he feels this way given Kyle's track record, but that's neither here nor there.
Indeed, the last time Young & Restless viewers saw Kyle, he was in Audra's sleeping cabin indulging in a celebratory champagne toast after Cane had agreed to help them salvage their 'perfume battle' publicity campaign. We don't know if things went any further than that, but the bottom line is that whether they hopped into bed together or not… they're now each other's alibi.
Unfortunately for Kyle, this is hugely problematic. Word is bound to spread that Kyle and Audra were together at the time of the murder, thus clearing them of suspicion but landing the Abbott in an impossibly horrible situation. Even if he stayed true to Claire, Victor's got the ammunition he needs to make it appear otherwise.
Kyle signed a contract promising to leave Genoa City and pay The Mustache $5 million smackeroos if he hurt Claire. Guess what? When Grandpa tells his grieving granddaughter that Kyle was canoodling with Audra while she was dealing with the death of her dad… she's gonna be hurt.
Yep, Kyle may manage to escape being a suspect in a bloody murder, but his ironclad alibi is set to bring a veritable mountain of trouble down on his head, SOAPS readers. Do you think Kyle cheated in France? Vote!

All the Brutal Games Played in 'Squid Game' Season 3
Spoilers below. The dust has finally settled on Squid Game season 3, but some of those games are still living in our heads rent-free. While previous seasons tortured players with bloody rounds of red light, green light, spinning top, and more, the final chapter upped the ante with some of the deadliest contests yet. From extreme versions of hide-and-seek to jump rope, here's what the battle royale consisted of in Squid Game's final season. Season 3 began with a chilling reinvention of a childhood classic, hide-and-seek. The rules are simple: Contestants are divided into two teams by the random draw of blue and red balls. The Blue Team, armed with keys, must hide from the Red players and try to unlock the right door to exit the course within 30 minutes. Meanwhile the Red Team, equipped with knives, is tasked with hunting down and killing the Blues. The stakes are clear: Failure to eliminate at least one Blue player results in immediate execution for the Red players. Blue players who are unable to escape will be eliminated as well. In a macabre twist before the game, players are allowed to negotiate their fate by swapping roles, which is essentially an invitation to betray—or be betrayed—before the first move is made. As the stakes get higher in episode 2, so does the tension. The Blue Team's keys are revealed to be of three distinct shapes—circle, triangle, and square—and all three are needed to unlock the right door. This means players will have to cooperate and escape together, or steal one another's keys, to make it out alive. Innocent playground games are once again taken to a lethal extreme in Squid Game season 3. In this version of jump rope, players must traverse a bridge while leaping over a swinging rope, all under the gaze of giant dolls Young-hee and Cheol-su. The challenge is as much about timing and nerve as it is about endurance: to pass, players must reach the other side within 20 minutes. The order in which they cross the bridge within the time limit, however, is entirely at their own discretion. To make the course even more dangerous, players must cross a gap in the middle of the bridge, or fall stories below to their death. As the fourth episode commences, the jump rope ordeal persists, but with a devastating twist: Player 222, Kim Jun-hee, has died and her baby, who was born during the games, must now bear her mother's number. The new addition makes the stakes all the more stressful for the other players, who are now pitted against each other and an infant. In true Squid Game fashion, the penultimate game is a test of both strategy and savagery. Players ascend a sequence of geometric pillars—shaped as a square, triangle, and circle—each serving as the stage for a brutal pushing contest. Survival demands that the players push off at least one contestant per round. Each round is governed by a strict 15-minute limit, initiated only when the players press a button. Those who survive each round get to move onto the next pillar and so forth, until there is only player left standing. The series finale unfolds atop the final pillar of Sky Squid Game, where the remaining contestants grapple with the ultimate question of humanity: How much are they willing to sacrifice to survive? In this bleak social experiment, the games are not only dangerously clever, but also reveal the deepest and darkest facets of the human condition.

Michelle Randolph on That Major 1923 Episode 5 Reveal: ‘It Can't All Be Good'
Spoilers for 1923 season one ahead. 'You know Taylor [Sheridan],' Michelle Randolph teases over Zoom. 'When something good happens, something bad happens.' The actress behind 1923's Elizabeth Stafford is espousing what might as well be the thesis of creator Sheridan's Yellowstone cinematic universe as a whole: The sprawling cowboy opera—with not one but two spin-off shows—is forever riding the pendulum swing between the dirty and the divine among the American West. There is no good in Sheridan's world without its inverse nipping at its heels. And so episode 5 of 1923 offers a joyful you're willing to believe Sheridan has quelled his crueler instincts. In 'Ghost of Zebrina,' the Dutton family—led by Harrison Ford's Jacob and Helen Mirren's Cara—are reeling from the loss of multiple family members. Their oldest nephew, John Dutton I (James Badge Dale), has died of a gunshot wound from last episode's spar between cattle ranchers and sheep herders. And it's not long into episode 5 before they're burying another loved one: Emma Dutton (Marley Shelton), John's widow, kills herself shortly after his death. Together, they leave behind a son, Jack Dutton (Darren Mann), who's yet to marry the lovely Elizabeth Stafford thanks, in no small part, to his thirst for filial revenge. As Yellowstone spin-off 1883's Elsa Dutton narrates at the beginning of 'Ghost of Zebrina,' Jack's elected to 'spend his evenings patrolling headquarters, choosing revenge over passion.' This isn't exactly what the young Miss Strafford signed up for. As of episode 4, Elizabeth had chosen life on the range over the ritz of New York, where her mother returned after Elizabeth's own father died. An East Coaster since birth, Elizabeth might be familiar with ranching—her family owns the land neighboring the Yellowstone—but she knows little of what it requires to be a rancher's wife. 'She's so in love and she chooses Jack,' Randolph tells 'but that means that she has to shift her entire way of thinking because she's been a city girl.' So when the love of her life eschews her company in favor of war plans, she doesn't take too kindly to her abandonment. 'You haven't lost anything I haven't lost,' she tells Jack, referring to her now-deceased father and long-gone mother. 'I'm an orphan, too, now. All we have is each other, and I don't even have that.' Jack's response, rather than to argue with his bride, is to marry her on the spot. In true Sheridan fashion, they exchange vows—in the eyes of God, anyway, if not exactly the church—while overlooking the sweeping plains of the Dutton ranch, their hair blowing in the breeze and tears streaming down their cheeks. Cara watches from afar, renewed by the energy of their young love. It's a scene Randolph feels was vital to establishing the dynamic of the pre-present day Duttons. Elizabeth is 'the sunshine' of the group, Randolph says. 'It's a nice contrast to the Dutton family because she learns so much from them. But I think she has a lot to teach them as well. She is, in some ways, a good positive influence: that no matter what hardships she goes through, she still chooses to look at the world through a glass-half-full eye, which is rare. And it's beautiful because the world hardens you, especially when you're caught in all the Dutton family drama.' She adds, 'I think that's why Jack loves her so much, too. Because she's a light.' The California born-and-bred Randolph says she believes Sheridan cast her in the role because he recognized that same vibrancy in Randolph herself. 'I felt like I understood where [Elizabeth] could be underestimated a little bit and perceived with less strength than I think that she has,' Randolph says. Still, knowing Sheridan, she approached episode 5's big reveal with trepidation. In one of the chapter's final scenes, the audience learns Jack finally put aside brooding long enough to spend at least a little time with his wife, for his darling Elizabeth is suddenly expecting a child. (Not to worry, Cara says, swooping in; she'll make sure a real wedding covers up any threat of scandal.) Randolph was thrilled to think of what that news might mean for the Dutton family—might Elizabeth be the grandmother to Kevin Costner's John Dutton III, of Yellowstone infamy?—before her joy quickly gave way to worry. 'When I booked the show, I had only read the first three episodes, so I had no idea, "Am I going to die?"' Randolph says, laughing. 'I had so many ideas in my head of where it could go. I mean, we were filming before I even read episodes 7 and 8. And so I was excited to find out that [Elizabeth] was pregnant and hopefully carrying on the line of Duttons. But I also wondered, "Well, what's going to happen next?" Because you know Taylor, and it can't be all good.' Elizabeth's pregnancy has major implications for the Dutton family tree and Randolph herself. If Elizabeth is John Dutton III's grandmother, then she'll likely continue to be a major character in 1923. But if she isn't, then who is? Might it be Alex (Julia Schlaepfer), the fiery new partner of Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar), Jack's uncle? And if it is Alex, what does that mean for Elizabeth's longevity in a land as harsh and unforgiving as the Yellowstone? 1923 has a future, regardless: The show was renewed for season 2, with Ford and Mirren set to reprise their roles. When asked if she plans to return as Elizabeth for the sophomore chapter, Randolph only smiles and says, 'I hope so.' This interview originally appeared on ELLE US in February 2023.

21 People Who Dated The "Bad Boy" Or "Bad Girl" As Teenagers Are Sharing How (Or If) That Person Changed As An Adult
From Romeo & Juliet to Grease, dating the "bad" boy or girl has been seen as a rite of passage for young people for centuries. However, as these "rebels" mature, they sometimes become very different from the people they were as teenagers... That's why, when I recently decided to ask members of the BuzzFeed Community who dated their high school's "bad boy" or "bad girl," to tell me how that person turned out as an adult, I received many comments that ranged from heartwarming to "What the hell?" Without further ado, here are 21 of their most enlightening responses: Some responses were also taken from Reddit threads, which you can check out here and here! If you dated your high school's "bad" boy or girl, feel free to tell us how (or if) they changed as an adult using this anonymous form! Content warning: abuse, addiction, and death. 1."I was 17 when I became friends with the 19-year-old bad boy, whom I'll call 'Jesse', right after high school. He had been on his own since he was 15 and had a past history of stealing to make ends meet. He would also regularly get into fights, didn't have a license or a phone, lived in a camper in someone's backyard, and went from job to job. His only real prospect was being in a rock band." "Around the time we became friends, I was privately struggling in an emotionally abusive three-year relationship with my boyfriend, whom I'll call 'Kyle.' Kyle was the epitome of a 'good guy' — charming, handsome, rich, and generally well-liked by Jesse. Jesse was the only person who saw through Kyle's 'nice guy' facade, and he made his opinions known. I was defensive and decided that Jesse must have feelings for me and was trying to drive Kyle and me apart, so I ended my friendship with him. But his opinions on Kyle bothered me for weeks because they were completely accurate. This eventually gave me the courage to break up with Kyle." "I found my way back to Jesse about a month later and thought dating a bad boy for the summer might be a fun rebound. I'd hang out with him and his band, drink alcohol for the first time, and let his wild energy rub off on me. That wild summer turned into a wild year and then another. Thirteen years later, we're happily married." "It was work and took a lot of time and patience, and maybe I was naive in the beginning, but he was totally worth the effort. He expressed the desire to do better and to be better, and he proved it to me every day. Jesse is more responsible than I am now, despite growing up troubled. He worked his way up from a warehouse job to being the top earner in his company with no formal education. We bought a house last year and a new vehicle (he eventually got his license). Our goal is to travel as much as possible in our 30s. When I look back on our history, I couldn't be more amazed and proud of who he has become. 'Good guy' Kyle, on the other hand, got kicked out of our old school for smoking indoors, was caught driving without a license, lost his car, and dropped out of university for poor attendance. He is currently unemployed and still living with his mom." —Anonymous, 30, Austin 2."My husband of 27 years was the motorcycle riding, chain on the wallet wearing, anti-establishment punk in high school. I was the Bible-toting, prayer-group leading, honors student. He told me he was going to marry me the first week I met him in the middle of tenth grade." "Now, he still rides a motorcycle, wears a wallet chain, and maintains an anti-establishment vibe, but he also teaches the Bible. He's a good dad to our three kids and supports our dreams and goals." —greentraveler944 3."In high school, I briefly dated a girl known for shenanigans that usually resulted in her being suspended from school. They were all harmless pranks, but I suspect they were a nuisance for teachers or anyone with ears sensitive to creative swearing." "Sometimes she'd come to school late with oil or grease on her hands and clothes. (She worked at a shop for European cars and had an awesome cobbled-together BMW from the '80s.) However, I was a year older than her, and we'd broken up by the time I graduated, so we didn't keep in touch. Fast forward 15 years, I heard from a friend that she had been accused of murder by distributing an intentional overdose. I occasionally Google her name and our hometown to see if anything pops up, but the accusation/arrest didn't come from there, and her name is, unfortunately, quite generic, so I've been stuck wondering for the last decade or so." —37, Washington 4."Started dating a super cool guy who was three years older than me when I was a senior. I had known him prior, but our relationship was never romantic or inappropriate. We got married shortly after I graduated, and I got pregnant. We split up before I gave birth, as he had become addicted to drugs. His family was always very helpful with our daughter." "He eventually became sober, and we not only co-parent beautifully, but we get along great. I adore his wife and his other child. He's even helped me move three times over the years. He's a great guy. We now share a grandson, as well. It's been so long since we were a couple that we almost think of each other like siblings at this point, weird as that sounds." —Anonymous 5."The 'bad boy' I dated is now in a Christian rock band, proselytizing on social media about how God hates immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community. He claims to know what God thinks about the issues, because he and God are 'so tight.' I definitely dodged that bullet." —60, Missouri 6."We casually dated for four months, and it was wild, hot, heavy, and intense, yet sweet and romantic too. He was covered in tattoos from his ankles to his neckline." "When I later decided to move across the country, I told him and left. I still think about him, and we catch up every couple of years. He's building houses now, wanting to leave his hometown, and taking medication for his borderline personality disorder. He seems to be in a good place. I'm happy for him, and I hope he finds someone special." —u/Sundae7878 7."I started dating the 'bad boy' (he was 18 and I was 17) during my senior year of high school when he offered to give me guitar lessons in exchange for me teaching him how to play the piano. Unbeknownst to me at the time, he was on probation for underage drinking and doing community service. (He also did many other questionable things before we met, but was never caught)." "He was really sweet to me at the beginning, but as our relationship continued, his true colors began to emerge. He had a terrible temper, so much so that he once threw a half-empty soda bottle that hit me in the ribs. That was the moment I decided to end our relationship and go 'no contact.' During our relationship, I always told him that if he didn't learn to control his temper and not fly into rages, he would be dead by the time he was 40. Sadly, I heard that he died from a heart attack two weeks before his fortieth birthday. When I was in college, I went in the complete opposite direction and began dating a cop whom I've been happily married to for 26 years, and he and I have a 20-year-old daughter. (I never learned how to play guitar, though.)" —Anonymous, 45 8."I went to high school with the typical rebel teen boy. He cut class, sold weed, was very intelligent, and in all the honors classes, but barely graduated due to poor attendance and grades. After graduation, we didn't talk or see each other because we barely talked at school." "Fourteen years later, we both, under very random circumstances, ended up living across the country in the same small town in Northern California. We actually bumped into each other at a restaurant. Turns out he went on to become a very successful legal cannabis lawyer, representing growers and dispensaries. He also takes pro bono immigration cases for migrant workers in the farming community. (I guess his high school 'education' in that field paid off.) Four years after reconnecting, we are very happily married. You truly never know what life will bring you!" —36, California 9."The 'bad boy' was a terrible (and annoying) person. He was known for stealing, cheating, breaking hearts, and spitting gum at the teachers. In high school, he got a girl pregnant, refused to deal with it, and forced her to get an abortion." "Now, he lives with his parents, owns five cats, and collects McDonald's Grimace memorabilia. He's also currently a teacher at our former school." —Anonymous 10."I married him. We met on a blind date when we were 15, but it didn't work out. We met again when we were 16/17 at a house party. Everyone was drinking, but I wasn't because I was on medication for seizures, so I basically sat in a corner wondering why I was even there." "He walked up to me and offered to get me a drink. I said I didn't drink, so this incredibly tall, long-haired 90s dreamboat leaves and comes back with a blanket. He invited me outside, where we sat while he pointed out constellations. When my big sister picked me up at the end of the night, he said, 'I think you're amazing, can I have your number?' My sister gave me sh*t for not telling her about the grungy rockstar, but I protested. I stayed at her house that night, and when I got home, he had already called. My parents hated him at first because he built cars in his free time, looked 'intimidating,' wore horrible clothes, etc. Eventually, he followed me to college, and they said I was too young to be so serious, etc. But he is and was so reliable and kind, despite his rough childhood. Anyways, it's been over 20 years, and I'm pretty sure my parents like him more than me now. I mean, they love me, but when we (finally) got married, my mom celebrated more than anyone I know, and my dad was excited to officially 'adopt' my husband. My husband is great and super hot, and I still have a crush on him. He's an amazing dad, too." —u/thin_white_dutchess 11."I married my bad boy. I met him just after high school. He was spontaneous, edgy, and got me outside my cautious comfort zone. We were very random and impulsive together, but all that changed when I had his kids." "I eventually left him. The traits that made him a fun, youthful, bad boy didn't make him a good financial provider or stable husband. He unfortunately hasn't changed much. In fact, he is doing worse as a single dude." —u/febgeekymom 12."I have no idea what my 'bad boy' is up to these days. But while we were dating, he got my then-friend pregnant, and I broke up with him. I left town and pursued my dreams, but she got stuck there with the kid. Last I heard, she was finally getting her life on track, and he had left." "Honestly, I'm thankful to her because that very easily could have been me. Now I'm happily married and 1000 miles away from that place." —u/shhhOURlilsecret 13."Mine was addicted to alcohol and drugs when I met him. He was also annoying, reckless, and partied a lot, so I don't know what attracted me to him in the first place. We had an intense time, but it didn't work out because he couldn't commit to me." "Four years later, he got sober, became a vegan, cleaned up his life, started lifting weights, and changed a lot physically. But on the inside, he is still the same anxious, rude, and arrogant man he was when we met, which is so sad. He just changed the 'facade,' not his character. I sometimes ask myself if we could have been a good match by dating later in life, but it is what it is. I moved on, and so did he." —u/CommissionStrong6305 14."I went to the prom with the 'bad boy' when I was a freshman and he was a junior. My parents were pretty overprotective because of his history (the year before I met him, he stole a friend's car and took a joyride several states away). Anyway, when the school year ended, so did our relationship." "I haven't spoken to him since 1988, but I heard that at some point in the early 90s, when he was 22-23, he got a 15-year-old girl pregnant. I have no idea what he's doing now." —u/SquatBootyJezebel 15."We dated at 14 and again at 17. He had the reputation of a rebel, hung out with a crowd that got into trouble, and was even voted 'Class Rebel' senior year. But he wasn't a malicious person and got along with everyone. He was more of a 'wrong place at the wrong time' type of guy." "We reconnected many years later, and now I'm marrying him. He's no longer the 'bad boy,' but is responsible, runs a business, and is still street-smart and combative when necessary. It was hot then, and it's still hot now." —36, NJ 16."My husband of 20 years was a certified bad boy. We didn't meet until after high school, but I've heard the stories about him running dice games in the halls, dealing in the parking lot, breaking into houses, and engaging in other behaviors that resulted in a few trips to rehab. After high school, it only got worse, and his run-ins with the justice system were very serious." "By the time we met in our early 20s, he had been indicted and was awaiting trial and sentencing. Somehow, he was only sentenced to house arrest and probation. The thing about him is that he's never been a bad person, just a kid who made lots of ill-advised choices. He's incredible, and all of those experiences made him interesting and wildly empathetic." —Anonymous 17."It hasn't been that long since we graduated, but I had a thing with the 'bad boy' new kid my senior year — weed, street racing, etc. He was kicked out of his house at 17. He always had to be in a relationship, and he'd cling to that person like his life depended on it, then completely shut them out without warning (me included)." "I went out of state for college, and he tried to work as a mechanic. Last I heard, he got his girlfriend pregnant. I have no idea where he's living, or if he's working, but I really don't care. I just feel bad for his current girlfriend, who he is inevitably going to drag down with him." —Anonymous, 19, CO 18."I dated the 'bad boy' in high school— the one all my friends tried to warn me about. He was well known for using drugs, partying, and being with a lot of girls. He had also been arrested shortly before I met him." "We definitely had our ups and downs, but he grew out of it and started associating with better people. He says my influence helped put him on a better path. Growing up, his home life was a mess, and his family didn't seem to care what he did, so of course, he was 'bad.' Now we are in our 30s, happily married, and have a child. He is the best husband and father. He no longer does 'bad' stuff, and we have a very normal life together." —32, DC 19."He wasn't exactly a 'bad boy' like a delinquent, but he was the class clown: We hit it off in middle school for a while until life started getting bad for me. He later went on to bully me because I had a low social status in the community and was showing signs of poverty at school. I had also developed a disability that affected my education, and he, along with his friends, bullied me to the point where I almost committed self-harm." "He's a doctor now and is either engaged or married to a woman who resembles me (apparently he has a type), but she clearly takes better care of herself (fake tan, veneers, etc.) I'm now a disabled substitute teacher and married mother of two." —[deleted] 20."I was convinced I was in love with him when we were in tenth grade, but my parents HATED him. We reconnected when I was in college, until one night when he left me a voicemail filled with vitriol because he couldn't reach me while I was out for a girls' night. That was enough for me, so I dropped him." "Last I heard, he's unemployed and battling his ex because he can't see his kids due to a restraining order she filed against him for domestic violence. He's a f*cking disaster. My parents were right all along (though I denied it until recently)." —u/Too-bloody-tired 21."I guess my high school 'bad' boy experience could be considered as the typical relationship of a good girl and a bad boy in reverse order, as he became the 'bad' version of himself after we broke up." "There was always the potential threat of his environment causing him to steer in the wrong direction at any time; overcoming that early on seemed like the start of a successful journey to something positive, despite all that was against him. When we broke up, he took it horribly, and I felt awful about it. Eventually, he rose above his anger and resentment by dating a girl I'd gone to school with since pre-k. Once they had established their commitment to each other, I thought nothing more of it and was happy for them both." "Then a few years later, someone asked me when I'd seen him last. I couldn't remember. They proceeded to describe to me in vivid detail and with incredible accuracy a person I would no longer recognize if he'd walked up and spit in my face." "Drugs, disease, alcohol, dishonesty, and multiple years of bad decisions and wrong choices robbed him of any chance he had at becoming something. All that was left of him looked like an image from a disturbing movie with an emptiness that made your own soul shiver. He is now simply surviving." I would love nothing more than to be able to hug him and help him get back to the boy I once knew, who had big dreams of being someone someday. Many have tried to help him over the years, but he won't change. He is doing the bare minimum to keep up his self-destructive lifestyle, which will eventually be the end of him." —53(F), South Carolina Did any of these stories surprise you?
