Young and the Restless fans have had a rough go of it with some of the baby stories this year and last. They’ve been largely unhappy in terms of the drama they’ve caused, and it’s been a bit ugly. We think that sometimes the baby situation isn’t meant to be so unhappy, but the people of Genoa City make sure they are as unhappy as possible. There are a few baby story lines that left us sad and unhappy, and some that left us okay. But all of them left us wondering what the heck is going on in any of these situations. We want to find out, so we are reviewing a few of them.
Cane and Juliet
He slept with Juliet on a business trip, but he was married to Lily. Things did not go well when he got home and worked so hard to lie about it, but they became even more upsetting when Hilary went out of her way to make sure Lily found out about it. Then they all found out that Juliet was pregnant, and it got even uglier. Their marriage was ruined, he managed to move his one-night stand into his home, and his kids stopped talking to him. Then she had a terrible surgery, she died, and the baby was born prematurely. Cane had a rough go of it as a single father, but he and Lily managed to work it out. She had a hard time bonding with the baby that was brought into her home by another woman, but she’s been able to get it together enough to make it work. That was a fairly happy ending to a good story line.
Devon and Hilary
She wanted a baby, and she wanted it with her ex. So, she asked him if they could father a child. He agreed, so they went through the process of artificially inseminating her. It didn’t work. Then they did it the old-fashioned way, and that did not work. Then, she decided to use his sample and try it one more time and see if it worked that way. It did. They were unsure at first, but it worked out for them. It was amazing when this baby brought them back together and made them a happy family. Unfortunately, Devon lost both the baby and Hilary. She was in an accident when Lily ran a red light while they were in the car arguing, and Hilary’s baby was lost. Devon and Hilary married on her death bed, and she died, too. Now Devon isn’t speaking to his sister, Lily, as he blames her. And she might go to jail and lose her own family for causing the accident. Not a happy ending to us.
Maya and Rick
This one is a doozy. It turns out that Maya was born Myron, and she had an operation to turn into a woman. She was born a man, and her husband wasn’t too worried about that, they got married, and he has no problem with the fact that his wife is transgender. He wanted a baby with her, so they asked that Maya’s sister, Nicole, provide an egg and carry her baby with Rick. So they did that, and they had a baby. And then Nicole found out she was unable to get pregnant on her own, and that the baby she gave to her sister might be the only baby she will ever have.
The baby is not Maya’s. Her sister provided her own egg. Maya was born a man, so she doesn’t have eggs or a uterus. This baby is her niece, and it’s also her stepdaughter and her adopted daughter. There was a time, though, when we all thought that Nicole and her own husband might fight to take this baby from her sister and make it her own since she cannot have a baby of her own anymore. That didn’t happen, thank goodness, so this leaves the baby in a good place with a loving family. However, this is the kind of baby mama drama we are talking about when we say that soaps bring the heat, the drama, and the crazy out of everyone around them. It’s beyond amazing.
