Neil and Hilary are Doomed on 'The Young and the Restless'!

Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) seems like a sweet girl, and is trying to turn her life around. I totally understand her attraction to Neil Winters (Kristoff St.John).  He is powerful, works out, and has a very supportive family (well, except when it comes to her).   But Hilary needs to understand one thing: there is only one woman for Neil, and that woman is Drucilla Winters (Victoria Rowell). I know everyone thinks she is dead, but I am certain she is alive right now plotting Hilary's demise. Hilary doesn't know it, but Dru would kill her without thinking twice about it. She is kind of tough.

In case Hilary needs to learn about about Neil and Dru's relationship before the showdown (which will probably only happen in my dreams), below are some classic moments from their past she should definitely check out.

Mariah Copeland: An Unseen 'Young and the Restless' Character Is Suddenly Part of Three Storylines

Mariah Copeland is young, and certainly restless, but at what point did the writers of The Young and the Restless decide to make Mariah and Fake Cassie one in the same?  Was this a brilliant plan from the very beginning?  Viewers have been debating that question online ever since it was revealed that the character Camryn Grimes has been playing the past several months (FauxCassie, FakeCassie, doppelCassie), the one getting paid by Victor Newman to torment Sharon because she looks just like Sharon's dead daughter, is also the stalker ex-fiancee of Tyler Michaelson (Redaric Williams).

Not only is Mariah a dead ringer for the late Cassie Newman (also played by Grimes) but, according Tyler and and his sister, Leslie (Angell Conwell), she is similar in some way to Lily Winters Ashby (Chritel Khalil) as well.  In 2013 Y&R developed a bad habit of talking about characters that never actually appeared, or appeared much later.  It wasn't clear for a while if Mariah was actually ever going to show up.
