Come On Over!
1. B&B’s Sally Spectra
Sally is surprised to get a phone call from a real-estate agent in her hometown of Genoa City with news that someone wants to buy her childhood home. With a troubled past that’s still obviously unresolved, Sally reluctantly flies to G.C., where the realtor brings her to the now-ramshackle house outside of town. Just as Sally notices bars on every window, she hears a familiar voice. “Hello, sister dear.” Sally is shocked to see her estranged twin, Rose DeVille, who is still wanted for selling black-market babies. The realtor? Her hapless accomplice. Rose announces that it’s time she got a piece of the high life — by trading places with her successful sis.

Between polishing the silver and making beds, Esther searches the mean streets of Hollywood for her daughter.

3. B&B’s Amber Moore
She’s been missing from the B&B canvas for a while now, but Amber finally resurfaces on Y&R with a mission in mind: tracking down her biological father.

It turns out that Amber’s papa never knew about her existence because his control-freak mother bought Tawny’s silence. Amber travels to Genoa City and is able to slip by security to get into dear old Dad’s office. Of course, he has no idea why this young woman has come to see him until she blurts out, “I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time now, Jack Abbott.”
