Image Credit: CBS.The Young and the Restless‘ Devon Hamilton crossed over to Beyond the Gates on Monday, August 11. He spent most of his time telling Anita Dupree how wonderful she was, hoping to butter her up into signing with his jazz label. He failed at that. But here is where he succeeded—and how!
Strangers in the Night
After he was politely rebuffed by Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis), Devon (Bryton James) left the country club dining room and ran straight into… Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley). The two exchanged some polite niceties, which suggested this wasn’t their first meeting. They’d crossed paths before.
Dani said, “Hello.” Devon said, “Hello.” There was nothing particularly interesting on the page. But on the stage… wowza!
Lessons in Chemistry
Dani flirts with everyone. So, naturally, she flirted with Devon. Devon is usually half asleep. But, dang it, if Dani didn’t wake him up. Suddenly, he had spark. He had fire. He has passion. Three things we have never seen in his relationship with wife Abby (Melissa Ordway). Yes, even when they were having sex all over the walls of his apartment.
Cross Cultural
Dani just got dumped by Andre (Sean Freeman). (Right before Andre got dumped by Ashley [Jen Jacob], which serves them both right.) And Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) is too wrapped up with Hayley (Marquita Goings) and her did she or didn’t she miscarriage. Dani doesn’t like to be alone, without male attention.
It may have only been a minute, but Dani certainly got Devon’s attention. And he got hers. Why not a cross-show affair? It would cheer up Dani, lighten up Devon, and maybe even rev up Abby. It would give all three meaty material to play, and entice Genoa City viewers to visit Fairmont Crest. It’s a win-win for everybody!
