Brad in a Cage

The Young & the Restless (1988)

I wasn't watching The Young and the Restless in the 80's, the only soap I think I knew existed at the time was Another World.  Y & R was on when I was in school, and when I home, my mom was watching Another World.  When I got older however, and I read about the infamous 'cage' storyline on the show.  Whenever soap hunk is used or defines, an images of Don Diamont should be with it.

I was familiar with Diamont, mostly from seeing his shirtless images in magazines.  I was keenly aware he was the soap speedo king at that time.  Given his soap stud status, it's not a surprise the show attempted to get him out of his clothes as often as possible.  In addition to Diamont's frequent shirtless and speedo scenes, he also showed some side butt and thigh in two memorable episodes.  Given they're from the 80's, the quality isn't that great, but still.... worth a look back.

While caged, of course ole Braad need to keep his body clean, so showers were important.   Lisa wisely chose a see through shower curtain for her caged shower, just to ensure Brad didn't miss any spots while showering.  The director of the shower scene pushed the boundaries, for daytime anyway, by shooting Lisa with the camera just behind Brad's naked thigh and butt.  You don't see much, but it's Don Diamont, and it's still very hot! 

Caged Heat (1988)

Lisa drugged Brad and took photos of them in bed, making him believe they’d made love. Brad demanded that Lisa stay away from him and Traci, who he had been with at the time. 

Lisa wouldn’t give up, and after buying a mountain lodge, equipped with a cage in the living room, she made Brad’s friends and family believe he’d left town and had Brad kidnapped. Once in the cage, Brad realized the only way he could get free would be to play along with Lisa. He managed to almost escape but was thrown back in the cage.
