How is Avery Bailey Clark Connected to Phyllis Summers Newman?

Jessica Collins is the actress that plays Avery Bailey Clark on the Y&R. The actress has already gotten my thumbs up. Ketchup on her steak? A disheveled mess some of the time? She seems a little more normal than many soap opera characters, doesn't she. But the big question?

What's Avery's Connection to Phyllis?
Sister? That's my guess. Phyllis has never talked about her family. Seems like a great potential storyline.

We shall see...

Y&R - Who Killed Diane Jenkins?

Who do you think killed Diane Jenkins?
I read two potential Diane murder theories today but have added my own ideas below.

1: Skye Lockhart.
Why? Harvard ring imprint and Adam Newman's mysterious phone call a few days before the murder that sounded like he was helping someone lay low. Skye went to Harvard and her body was never found. If it was her, the unravelling would get Sharon Newman out of jail (which we know is going to happen).

2: Patty Williams
Patty hated Diane, had plenty of people she's potentially love to frame, and if Paul found out the truth it'd create a famous soap-worthy unbearable moral dilemma.

What do you think?
Who killed Diane Jenkins?

Y&R Tucker McCall and Ashley Abbott

Does anyone else find it creepy when Tucker calls Ashley "beauty"? That's what her Dad called her. It's sort of ick. Don't you think?
