ARTICLE: Mystery Behind Aristotle Dumas Leads ‘The Young And The Restless’ To 11-Week High Among Total Viewers, Continued Year-Over-Year Growth In Key Demos – RATINGS
I definitely have seen old Lane fans online who was happy for that. I've also seen Lane fans who will only accept DG as Cane. And a few of the obtuse ones I used to read about here back in the day. I will be curious to see how the ratings pan out post-reveal as well. Now you quit with that JG shade before I get just as shady.

Not bad at all. Rory really does give good (and dare I say it...real) anger. And a hint of menace. I love that at last...a darker Michael has arrived.

DAYS: Y&R actor joins as recast
lol. I mean look at what happened (or could have been from what I've read and seen online and here) with Cat. I'm not sure but wasn't it mentioned somewhere Billy's Chad was still in Salem for the 60th Anniversary episodes or did I misread?

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Hopefully Angela pins her a$$ to the wall at the reunion...Andy Cohen be damned. I did. I was NOT ready at all. lol. I suuuuuure can! I had a work friend a looooong time who not only winded up on a reality tv show looking for love, she found it...got a spinoff if I remember correctly, AND had his baby. Still in love last I checked. And I found that all out (pre-baby) by Facebook feed. I fell all the way out since she was always supportive of my writing, but never mentioned it.

Y&R: June 2025 Spoilers
I admit that I did like that note to continuity since that was when Kyle came back as a Bad Boy and since that was LIVE (and he was in his birthday suit) it tracks with Audra whom would have seen the research and reactions. PS. Summer also came back as a bad girl during that time. Same. And worth noting. Thank you.

I believe it given how the likers AND haters were curious to see who it would turn out to be.

Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread
Basically something relevant and NOT something that can be saved for the 4, 5, AND 6 o clock news. Or a news channel. Same. Tbf...I think Victor saw Abby after her and Devon got back from their honeymoon so...6 months ago? hehe. Don't get me started! lol. I'm saving Monday's episode until I make it through John's Death Week on DAYS. And post rewatching BTG. Probably some GH, too. And RHOM. It is THAT low on my viewing.

B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread
6-20 I thought that was a pretty good week. I guess it again says something that I can say that even with the repetitive conversations (again) and not much moving (again). But as I said last week...and I didn't mind (especially since I'm working through John's death on DAYS)...some fluff. Speaking of death...let me get this out of the way first Greg...but I'm starting to look at Liam and wondering when is he dying? Because he's coming across like Willow came across on GH when she was dying for a whole year. At least he looks weak. I've enjoyed all of Nick's return so far. And OF COURSE, Ridge wants to sit there and get jealous. Ridge...can STFU. He left Brooke for silly reasons. HE continued to be all about how he feels about Taylee. The first sign of some man sniffing around Brooke and he wants to sit there and start marking territory. When your current lover, your daughter, and anyone with eyes point out how you are coming across aka JEALOUS it is usually best to sit this one out. 'Sunshine?' Really? Well...like grandma, like granddaughter I guess. I still can't believe Luna is doing this. Or perhaps I should be side-eying Brad Bell for using her for what will surely be JMW temp exit. I really enjoyed the talk between Brooke and Katie about Nick. And I wish we had gotten the talk between Carter and Deacon about marrying Hope cuz Deacon being encouraging was off given they were trying to beat the mess out of each other the last time they saw each other. And YES I enjoyed the return of DAPHNE. Even if she is only abroad for now. And Steffy trying to find ways to get Daphne to come back for the relaunch. Yep, Hope should feel threatened.

FACTS!!! I can't wait to get to that part of my viewing. I love Paul from his first appearance and happy to hear he will get a HEA.

BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread
I also agree with the above. Finally soap characters with nuances again. I love it. Also...that means some are heading for a fall. And we can discuss due to the grayness of it, if they deserve it. Because there are layers in play even if you left on Bill's side. And clearly, Vernon won 😜 because Bill was pressed after he left and went to the office, taking it out on poor Tomas. That said...yes, Vernon did not have to do him like that...and yes, Bill got some licks in...but he left that confrontation tail between legs versus how he was when he got there. It makes Vernon definitely look powerful and prideful. And it's been established before on the show before that the Duprees are proud of themselves. But to put it on full display shows like that with Vernon...the head...shows the pride and arrogance. So prideful, he had to make the only person who can fix it seem small. And I think we both know pride comes before the fall. And I'm sure a few people would love for that to pass. But that's just on a first view.

BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread
Exactly! It's always been there in subtle ways so I'm very happy to see the mask completely drop and him cutting Bill all the way down like a surgeon doing a delicate surgery to complete success. But like I been saying, a good amount of the people on this show have light and dark moments and I love it. Layers and nuances.

Oh, God, yes!!! I know I'm going to rewatch before bed. It was so good. And that monologue...Jazmen did it good. Clifton and those inflections at all the right moments, turning the screws on Bill and gathering him one point at a time. I was living.

DAYS: Y&R actor joins as recast
I think we have discussed or picked on it in the regular thread from time to time. This show is THE YOUNG and the Restless, but outside of Kyle, JG never seems to want to write for the young cast at all or he ships them off before they get traction even when they have potential (Noah, Allie). I just smh. I don't get it, either. But it is sad how there are Chancellors in town and JG doesn't want to write for them. He probably would. lol. Well, I'm sure that JG can get a year of story out of BF especially since he's taking it from Damian so by the time BF's Cane flops, CF's Chad should be appearing. I have no horse in the race with how Chad is being used. I didn't jump to Peacock when the show did and now that I'm trying to keep up with the new writers, so far (i'm waaaay behind) he's not bugging me. And I thought Anna was a great choice as Cat and she was giving me Abby vibes so I can see why they had a story where people thought she was Abby back from the dead. Hehe. Abby will so come back at some point. She's like the Jean Grey of the young adult set.

Now that I finally have arrived at Lucky's last episode...pardon my french and I know I missed a few episodes so early apologies just in case...but *in my Caroline Brooks's voice*WHAT THE FRAK WAS THAT?!?!*Caroline Brooks* It's funny in light of what I just posted in the spoiler thread to the latest soap hopping news, but it bears a paraphrase...how do you mess up a legacy character's return like this? Especially one who has not been on screen in ages??? I don't give a good kitty about that lame throwaway line about Lucky going around town seeing everyone he needed to talk to. He's connected to soooo many people. They should have SHOWN that. Heck, they should have kept the stuff with the trial (and Drew ain't #$% for what he did with Wiley) and either the Chase (he's a good man Savannah for being ride-or-die for BLQ during this)/BLQ scenes or (personally the ones I love) Rocco/Gio scenes because they kept the flow/momentum of the Gio/Baby reveal going even if it was the B plot this episode. Drop the rest to keep the flow/A story of the week going which is clearly all things Michael/Willow trial and focus on Lucky getting a better farewell. Cuz...Liz looked over it. Lulu could have fought a little bit harder. And a one line comment about his kid won't cut it when said kid could have been on-screen. And most importantly and what has me heated...WHERE THE FRAK WAS LAURA??? Again if it was already explained apologies. All I have to say is unbias my A@#, blocked filming my A@#. Since he's gone and now a frame of reference can now be observed, definitely not a good return for a legacy character and a disgrace for one of Laura's kids. Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy lol.

IKR!!! He has been sooooooooo adorable so far. I'm seriously getting annoyed at Luna for stalking him. I don't know. Usually when it comes to B&B and this happens, don't they usually do a repeat?
