Back in the ’80s, Peter Barton was considered one of the sexiest stars thanks to projects like The Powers of Matthew Star and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
In 1988, he joined The Young and the Restless as Dr. Scott Grainger and played that role until 2005. He looked so hot in that white coat on the Soap Opera; he made women want to go to the doctor.
But after his time on the Daytime Drama, he stopped acting, and we haven’t seen him since. However, that all changed on Friday night when he went to Y&R’s 50th-anniversary party.
He might be 66 years old, but he is still that dreamy teen idol. I hope he considers getting back into acting because I would watch anything he does.
This week, in honor of The Young and The Restless’ 50th anniversary, The Talk is having different cast members on the show. Today, they had Camryn Grimes, Bryton James, Michael Graziadei, and Christel Khalil on, and Graziadei had a surprise for the CBS talk show and, more importantly, Lauren Carey, his girlfriend.
That is because he wanted to ask the mother of his twin boys, Oliver and Arlo, 18 months, something, so he called her up to the stage. “This is my beautiful girlfriend, Lauren [Carey]. We’ve spent the better half of 10 years together, too many. She’s given me beautiful twins, and I just wanted to do something special for your birthday. So I was thinking, you know, how there is no one on this earth that I would rather grow old and die with. So, I was wondering, Lauren Michelle Carey, if you would marry me?”
What did she say? She said yes! Because what else do you say when you are on national television? Well, that and she loves her baby daddy! Even though she never thought it would happen.
What was going through his mind after she said yes? He told Sherl Underwood, “I really have to pee!”
I have some advice for him. He better make sure to go to the bathroom before he gets to the altar on his wedding day. Because he doesn’t want to end his first kiss with a piss!
Congrats to the betrothed couple! May they only have a lifetime of happiness!
The Young and the Restless is turning 50 this week. So Jerry O’Connell went behind the scenes of the CBS Soap Opera to talk to the cast for The Talk.
What was his burning question for them? He wanted to know how they prepare for love scenes. Several of them brush their teeth, Sharon Case gets a spray tan, and one of them eats an apple. Can you guess who? And does that really work? Tracey Bregman doesn’t believe that actor because he is always eating chocolate.
Oh, and did I mention that Beth Mailand totally flirted with Mr. Rebecca Romijn? Maybe he can play her lover in an upcoming episode? I hope he stocks up on apples!
Every year when it comes to renewing Days of our Lives, we wonder if it will be back for another season. Last year, the Soap Opera moved from NBC to Peacock, and we weren’t sure if it would survive.
Well, it is making a Gloria Gaynor song and will survive. Not for one season, but two! That means it will celebrate its 60th year on the air!
Congrats to the little show that could!
Moving to the streaming service was a blessing in disguise! Now that fans aren’t beholden to a timeslot and can watch it when they want. Therefore, more people are watching the Daytime Drama.
UPDATE: In other TV news, the overpriced Val Kilmer-less Willow is one and done on Disney+, according to Deadline.
The Young and the Restless is celebrating its 50th year on television next month. To celebrate the milestone, they are bringing back five fan favorites.
They are Michael Damian as Danny Romalotti, Patty Weaver as Gina Roma, Barbara Crampton as Leanna Love, Tricia Cast as Nina Webster, and Veronica Webb as Mamie Johnson.
The actors’ return will lead up to the special episode, which is airing on the Soap Opera’s 50th birthday on March 26th. On that date, you “can expect big moments and a fun look back at Y&R’s rich history.” I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a few more guest surprises for us.
Who are you most excited to see come back to Genoa City?
