I read that B&B’S Matthew Atkinson (Thomas) appeared on Y&R but I don’t remember what character he played and what story he was involved in. Please refresh my memory. Thanks! L.L., via email
A Atkinson first appeared on Y&R in 2014 as Austin, the cameraman for legal eagle Avery’s Internet cooking show. After Austin met Avery’s niece, Summer, they began dating. But it turned out that Austin had a secret agenda: He took Avery hostage in a motel, then revealed that her legal defense cleared a man of a convenience store robbery and that man later killed Austin’s mother in another holdup. The police arrived and Paul was shot during the melee, but Summer stood by her boyfriend. Just before his trial, Austin and Summer eloped, and thanks to Avery’s letter forgiving Austin, and Paul’s refusal to testify, the young man was given deferred adjudication, a fine and community service. However, cracks appeared in Summer and Austin’s marriage. Then, during a Valentine’s Day party with friends in 2015, the guests passed out after drinking a drugged punch, but Austin awoke to find crooked cop Mark Harding with Austin’s laptop, which contained incriminating video footage. Harding panicked and bashed Austin in the head with a bookend, killing him.

How did Shawn and TJ find out that they are father and son on GH? I rememberlovingthescenestheysharedbuti don’t recall the context. J.H., via email
A In 2015, Jordan was desperate to keep Shawn out of jail and urged him to beat the charges he was facing (attempted murder) by flipping on Sonny. Shawn refused, so Jordan blurted out the truth that she’d concealed for the entirety of TJ’S life, telling Shawn, “You are his father!” Shawn ultimately pleaded guilty and went to Pentonville without disclosing the true nature of his relationship to TJ to his son (much to Jordan’s surprise). The following year, TJ overheard a private conversation between Jordan and Curtis in which Curtis, who was privy to the truth, promised not to tell TJ. TJ ultimately confronted his mother, who confirmed he was sired by Shawn, and not by the late Thomas Ashford, Sr.
