Lord your taste. I've been thinking about doing that myself for some time since it was airing when I was in high schooler and I am curious to see how I feel about it with adult eyes.

Well tbf, they have a few times. I simply wish they would use it more because it is very much needed. And outside shoots. Same.

I have had a very busy week so I haven't had time to play catch up. However, I DID watch clips of the read and OMG YES!!!! And the SilkPress and Eva's reaction took me out. I hollered. People said the Deanna actress looks like she could be Whitley Gilbert's daughter and I can't unseen that. I also can't unseen that she's really was giving a young Drucilla Winters.

And my apologies since I've been going through a bit of a transition this week (and next), but now that I got some time and am officially entering March...my thoughts over what's holding my interest at the moment. MAXIE'S RETURN. You know what? While I do not like that after what passes for build-up between Maxie and Nathan seeing each other, these writers actually let it fall flat. That was a goldmine waiting to make some dramatic story though I also felt Maxie/Spin should have been endgame at the end of it. Everything else so far has been great. I just arrived at Maxie meeting with Lucy. And since Sidwell was directly or indirectly the reason Maxie fell in that coma, that's intriguing to me. But again...I don't see How they can build her return so well EXCEPT for the Nathan thread. SIDWELL...AND WILLOW. She is going to be his undoing. And I'm here for it. lol. I've been enjoying Crazy Willow's turn. And now she's a senator. Poor Alexis...who I was looking forward to doing that. But thinking about it...knowing how Willow is ascending...that just means she's heading for a fall. Will the show actually go there and make it as dramatic? LUCAS THE DOUBLE AGENT. I know I missed some scenes so I'm surprised, but happy that he has been roped into things with Britt. Them getting along...who thought it? It still feels stalled in that storyline, but it does seem like they are sloooooowly getting the Five Poppies stuff going. And I giggled at the Sonny/Jason talk where they are planning on nailing Brennan for this. MOLLY/CODY. I will give credit where it is due. I liked they FINALLY sat down and talked. Like grown folk. And before I accidentally dozed off, it looked like it was not about to go left with wacka wacky humor. BLQ/CHASE. It's about time she lit into him for what he's been doing with his Captain SaveaHo tail. He's coming across completely obsessed with Michael and BLQ was right...Willow has been let go so there's no reason for him to be going this far. Of course, Round 2 of him vs Michael was too brief. And Michael STILL got a punch in that face. lol. I see there was a lovely discussion over Frank vs JFP that I look forward to replying to when I have more energy. And there's ANOTHER baby mess coming. Lord give me strength.

But if that means more Ric. ;)

I guess I didn't pay attention at all to the 3-5 episode because I don't remember any of this. Also...Vanessa vs SilkPress was good even though it was juvenile. It really was like a tennis match. And yes, I rewinded a few times. It was that good.

Amen. There's a reason why JFP had to sneak back into Y&R to have a job. And still got busted. And that was after BTS folk lied.

I agree. It was nice to see nice, happy, sexy black couples with chemistry. I loved every minute of it. I can't believe I have come around to Ted at all so that says something.

Another thing...I liked they pulled another Y&R with Nicole popping up in the tail end of the episode when she wasn't seen for 45 minutes...just like old Y&R used to do with their characters.

Oh, yeah, I talked about it yesterday for sure since I started my rewatch of last week (which was a pretty good week complete with a Friday cliffhanger), but I've been talking about it for a while since an article came out that I guess you could call spoiler. When I mention it, I want to say I'm being as vague as I can just in case people don't know, but I think we discussed the 'it' in this thread if not the end of last month's thread. Then again...better safe than sorry. Probably just go at what I posted on Sunday re: the writing.

At this point, I suspect this. Especially if they are doing what I mentioned yesterday of them doing.

I admit that I did a double take cuz I honestly forgot he was in the hotel. That said...I really enjoyed Ted/Shanice and Dani/Andre today.

For it to be a slow one, I'm finding today's episode to be enjoyable. I DO Admit that I've been waiting for Pamela and Vanessa to cross paths again so disappointed they......got along. Uh oh at them looping back around to the money laundering. And I hollered that Joey has a daily alarm to remind him that he and Dani have a bet going on on her marriage.

Hiding under one of Silk Press Sheila's wigs.

Yep. Frank's gotta Frank. Cuz yes given his ability to budget, it shouldn't be that hard for him at all.

Love.

Or off in block filming. But I totally agree.

Same. Just look at BTG or as mentioned AMC. I'm happy they are no longer just focusing on the Big Three, but there are far more better characters to focus on (and couples I might ask) than most of the ones that the writers and Frank choose to focus on.

Just smh.

Yeah, it has gotten to the point that sometimes even I...who can keep track of people...have started to forget about folk. Do we even know where Scotty is? And there was that almost two weeks where Portia seem to vanish in the middle of her storyline. If only re: getting rid of 15, bringing back pivotals, same budget with tighter storytelling.

Like Jacinda for example. ;) But seriously, yes. I am sad the BTS really closed the door for Brennan's potential, but they really should have written him out a while ago. But I can say that for quite a few characters on the show. But...Frank gotta Frank.

Yeah Jacinda can exit stage left at anytime. It is like trying to make fetch happen. Her only layer of intrigue is her relationship with Erza. Personally, I feel Mesure elevated that material and again could have been on longer with better story. And might have if PM was still there. But we all know I'm bias for my listed reasons. That clock was going from the moment of the recast. Yep. I never knew how much I like the idea of Jason at the WSB until it presented itself. And it was done at the perfect time with Jason returning with a maturity I never saw with him, SB being fair game and humbled, and the growing closer ties to his kids and the Q. Perfect to move him out of the mob and make him just mob-adjacent, but alas.

RHOA So someone leaked the intro.

Yeeeeah NO. She doesn't need to grow at all. Hehe. Well, Frank is gonna Frank so it's not shocking he has lasted this long. I'm even shocked that knowing the character's days are numbered he is STILL on screen. But I agree. He could have easily been integrated into the cast. I had said that when Mesure was in the role, the idea of Jason as an WSB agent was a stroke of genius. Jason came back and apparently wanted a different life than just being Sonny's enforcer. And being with the WSB would allow for Jason to still do action stuff that was not mob related while being involved in other non-mob stories but actual drama like the Sons of the Father storyline that appeared to be getting set up with Danny and Jake. Brennan offering him that job...as well as romancing Carly...and Anna...would have been another way to do so when Jason said yes.
