    Young And The Restless, The

    Who raped Cricket (Christine) first?Young and the Restless

      Derek Stuart. "Soon after ending her engagement with Scott, Cricket began dating Derek Stuart. After an enjoyable evening together, Derek accompanied Cricket to her apartment and then raped her. Although traumatized by the incident, Cricket found the courage to press charges against Derek. Her strength inspired another woman to step forward and testify that Derek had also raped her. Angered by the prospect of a long prison sentence, Derek vowed revenge against Cricket. He cornered the young model in her apartment and aimed a gun at her, but just as he fired, Scott burst into the apartment and took the bullet instead. Derek tried to escape by jumping through a window. Instead, he fell to his death." http://www.soapcity.com/yr/history/history_detail_14900014.jhtml If you answered Paul, Paul may have raped her (that question was never answered), but even if he did, Derek raped her first.

    Speaking of Cricket, what was her job at Jabot, prior to her very quick career as a law student?Young and the Restless

      model. She decided to become a lawyer shortly after being raped by Derek. "Sexually harassed by Michael Baldwin when they were attorneys together at the prestigious Whitman, Walker, and Wilson law firm, she trapped him by taping their conversations, which caused Michael to be fired. He then stalked her, dug through the wall from the next door apartment, and held her captive. She was saved by Paul Williams and Nathan Hastings, and Baldwin was put in prison." http://soapcentral.com/y&r/whoswho/christine.php She has also been engaged to Phillip Chancellor III (Jill's son, Nina's husband), engaged to her half-brother Scott (they had the same father), married to Danny Romalotti, married to Paul Williams, and engaged to Michael Baldwin.

    What was Brad's job before becoming a big shot at Jabot?Young and the Restless

      gardener. Those scenes with his shirt off were wonderfully done, in my opinion. I actually met him at a charity function and got his autograph! "Brad first appeared in 1985, as the Abbott family groundskeeper. Perpetually insecure Abbott daughter Traci took an interest in him. Soon they were dating, and John put him to work on the sales line at Jabot. Nepotism aside, Brad increased sales dramatically, and on his wedding day to Traci, John made him head of sales, replacing black sheep Jack." Brad has been married to Lisa Mansfield (annulled), Traci Abbott (divorced twice), Ashley Abbott (divorced) and Cassandra Rawlins (widowed). He is the father of Colleen (Traci is her mother), and adoptive father of Abby (Ashley and Victor are her biological parents). http://soapcentral.com/y&r/whoswho/brad.php

    What is Victor's friend's name that lived with Victor and suddenly disappeared?Young and the Restless

      Douglas . I always liked him. I wish he would reappear. Douglas introduced Victor to then-stripper Nikki when she was stripping at The Bayou. The rest, is soap opera history.

    What alcoholic beverage did Nikki mix with pain pills and become addicted to?Young and the Restless

      Vodka. I remember she would call the liquor store and have them deliver several boxes and tell them she needed so much because she was having a party. She had fallen off of a horse and was in so much pain, the pain pills weren't helping, so she would have a glass of vodka with each pill. When she fell from the horse, she was married to Jack and pregnant with his baby. She lost the baby and injured her back.

    What is the relationship between Billy Abbot and Nina's son Philip?Young and the Restless

      Billy is Philip's uncle. Jill and John Abbott are his parents. A custody battle for him caused John to have a stroke. At the junior prom, Billy and MacKenzie Browning were crowned King and Queen, and they realized the had feelings for each other. They later married, and on their wedding night they discovered that they were related. Mac is the daughter of Katherine Chancellor's son. Billy's mother turned out to be the daughter Katherine gave up for adoption as a baby. This made Billy and Mac cousins!

    Ages ago, when Brad was trying to get Ashley to marry him, he had a slogan that he put on commercials, billboards, newspapers and videos. What was it?Young and the Restless

      When will you say yes?. Before Ashley gave him an answer, Traci returned to Genoa City, determined to win Brad back. Ashley was torn between loyalty to her sister, and feelings for Brad, so she went to a cabin in the woods to think things over. Victor showed up at the same cabin, and they ran off and got married.

    Who was Nikki married to when Victor shipped Victoria off to that Swiss boarding school that ages kids by 10 years in one summer?Young and the Restless

      Jack . Jack saved Victoria from drowning one time, and Victor wouldn't even let him ride in the ambulance with her to the hospital! Victoria went with Victor to tour Europe one summer. She left Genoa City in early summer as a little girl, and returned a few months later as a 15 year old.

    Who was Victoria's first husband?Young and the Restless

      Ryan . "Ryan McNeil arrived in Genoa City, a young man in his twenties. He began working in the mail room of Newman Enterprises, hoping to work his way up in the company. Victoria Newman was also pursuing a career in her father's company, starting out in the mail room, rather than attend college. Victoria was smitten by the considerably older Ryan McNeil. When Victor found out they were dating, he was rabid, and did everything within his considerable power to keep "that punk McNeil" from being involved with his precious daughter. Victoria and Ryan eventually eloped, but even after marriage, Nina gave Ryan the sex life that Victoria could not. When their marriage ended, Ryan moved in with Nina and her young son Phillip. Nina became pregnant, and he married her out of obligation. After Nina's miscarriage, Ryan realized he truly did love her, became a devoted father to Phillip, and encouraged Nina to get her college degree. Years later, Nina began doing research for, and fell in love with novelist Cole Howard (who was Victoria Newman's current husband). Cole's rejection caused Nina to suffer a nervous breakdown. She alienated Ryan, who then became infatuated with the young nubile Tricia Dennison. After Ryan foiled a suicide attempt by Nina with a gun to her head, they were divorced. Tricia instantly fell in love with Ryan. They went on a few dates before she discovered that he was married. However, this didn't stop her from scheming to steal Ryan away from his wife, Nina. When Nina asked Ryan for a divorce, he was free to pursue the relationship with the much younger, Tricia. They eventually married. Victoria and Ryan found their love again, moved in together, and were thinking about marriage. Tricia bought a gown identical to Victoria's, locked her in a closet, and marched down the aisle to Ryan on their wedding day. Before they took their vows, the delusional Tricia lifted the veil expecting Ryan to marry her instead. Tricia pulled a gun when she realized no one in that church was anything but aghast to see her. Victor arrived, freed Victoria, and bargained with Tricia to evacuate the church. But all came to a screeching halt when Victoria entered the room. Tricia fired at her and Ryan jumped between them taking the bullets for Victoria. Ryan held on for a few days, but died in the arms of Victoria." http://soapcentral.com/y&r/whoswho/ryan.php
