For all their faults, and there are plenty; BK and LN both got Janine. I have no hope that Kate Oates and Jon Sen have an understanding of the character.

What I found interesting, was the pacing of the first episode; Tony/Anna/Austin/Carrie are discussing Austin's plans to surprise Carrie; next we see Tony/Anna arrive at the event and running into John/Marlena who had also been discussing the event earlier as well. It seemed like an excellent execution of what Mal Young had wanted do at Y&R, but it was much less jarring. If this was on the original show, the auction would've taken place a few episodes later.

This weeks worth of episodes (surrounding the trial of Sebs murder) has been well produced and well written.

Maybe Doug locking Julie is a precursor to there being a Night Time Doug. Ron loves ripping off stories from the past 😂

A doppelganger? A long lost child? Infidelity? Got to be one of these three, because Ron's not capable of writing anything else.

I really didn't find SSM's tenure all that bad. It was the best Y&R had been in a long time, going back to the Lynn Latham days.

I think she will lose him once he finds out she's been lying to him about his identity all along. However I think with these set of writers, I can definitely see them playing up the fact that Sonny can't easily turn his feelings off when it comes to Nina, even after the truth comes out or when he regains his memories.

It’s weird I’m finally starting to feel *some heat* between Sonny and Nina, not a whole lot, but some.

Jean already had her chance at Y&R and it wasn't all that amazing.

Bingo. In Ron's world, these are all just plot points, but they don't lead to anywhere or have lasting affects. It really doesn't matter.

I don't doubt it all that Y&R behind the scenes humbled him.

Whew for a moment I thought he was fired. I'm not down for witnessing Jack dying again.

Today’s episode was enjoyable. I’m really liking the direction they’ve taken Johnny and EJ’s relationship. At first I had hoped he’d be a troublemaker, and he could still be down the road, but I like how doesn’t want to be a chip off the old block like his father. DF has also won me as EJ and it’s the scenes that he has with Johnny that have really helped solidify that.

Thanks I'll definitely make my way there and get buried in the plethora of information in that thread. Thanks to you and @FrenchFan for your hard work

Any opinions on how the Shapiros did on this show? I've always been curious about their daytime stint.

I've always been curious about the Labine/Myer era of LOL. Heck I'm even curious about their time on Where The Heart is.

Last night I was thinking why does GH has such a large amount of dead wood. Other than Frank's incompetence, I wonder if the show is just setting up a catastrophic event down the road to take out some of these useless characters that we've in the very least grown to tolerate (or like). But aside from that random thought; Jax and Willow would be the PERFECT characters to have caught in mob crossfire, the repercussions would be fascinating to watch.

At this point he's just making matters worse for him and bringing more attention to himself. I look forward to Jax's departure onscreen 🤣 because I know he's going to keep up with the twitter shenanigan's. I'm still in disbelief they placed Tristan Rogers in time out for something smaller.

I remember when The Soup on the E! network used to always include clips of this show in their segments, mocking the show (height of the Ron Moss/Ridge versus Kyle Lowder/Rick saga), they would have a field day with some of the scenes taking place on the show today lol

He really is. The show needs to do everything it can to hold onto JS/Chase.

Considering Tripp's troubled childhood, there's a reason for him to have a edge about him, and a potential there to dig deeper into his character, but as someone above said, Ron isn't able to do that.

Co-sign. I like them together as well.

I have noticed Sprina does have a big Twitter following.

Jax is really expendable as a character at this point. The writers could easily have him stumble upon the fact that Sonny is alive and create some event where either he dies or lands in a coma (of course Nina would be relieved, but feel some type of guilt over Jax's condition or demise). It ups the stakes in the Sonny story and takes care of some deadwood on the show.

There’s definitely some fire there between Tripp and nuChanel.
