Not at all. Long enough to play all the beats. Not so long that a triangle that would follow the beats of Lulu waking up would overstay its welcome.

I always believe that. Sadly. Lindsey definitely seems to enjoy being behind the camera more than in front of it these days. Which is why I would do presumed death so if she was to change her mind...it would be more possible. A triangle of Sam/Dante/Lulu could last until at least February Sweeps if written well.

Lord...not Contessa and Scott the first guests on the new season of BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT!!!

Wait a minute, wait a minute, WAIT A FRAKKING MINUTE!!! Paul had a WHAT???

Unless we get a rewrite, Mariah confirmed Sharon has been taking her meds...AND on time. And she's done in front of them since around SC's anniversary episode. So it's still a mystery.

Ah yes...that BTS drama...

Yeah, I definitely curious to see where both story threads (Brynn as villain, Erin/Abe drama) go.

And don't forget...with ACTUAL PC histories. So no need to prop a Friend of Frank some folks. Hehe. I know it's wrong, but Hearst really plays it oh so well. Even when Liz sat him down to let Ric down gently and firmly, Hearst simply went to subtext with Ric and I giggled. He is so smitten on her even now. But yes...it writes itself.

10-2 Stuck window, huh? Smh. But then Cameron appeared in that Crimson Light scene and ruined my theory about him being alive and gaslighting Sharon. Unless he's drugging her? hmmm. Yeah, I really did like those Diane vs Audra scenes @soapfan770!!! No need for them to be nice and both got some great licks in. I wouldn't mind more scenes. Meanwhile, Kyle has gone back to prick mode...though I must admit the going to the house and getting on Diane's computer was very much something 2017 Kyle who just got back to Genoa City a la Bad Boy Kyle would do so that tracks. I just wish he would not be so...whiny prick. And even with all of that, I cannot believe...given what we have seen of Audra...he would be able to outmaneuver her. So I'm surprised their VSs is over. For now. I suspect Audra will be about the payback...moreso since she fought that company away from Tucker. We got a body for Heather. Le sigh. Poor Daniel. Poor Paul.

Oh yeah. The fallout was so rushed from what I remember. And then Lucas just faded away when there was so much potential because he took that loss hard. Hard enough to consider going after custody if I remember correctly, but I might be wrong. Oh yeah next to a certain HW show that premiered yesterday, I was looking forward to this reunion so I was LIVID with my system going down. Cuz something always happens to my tv system during the former show's season airing. ALWAYS. When it comes to my memories, I hold JJ and GV in high regard (and thought JY was pretty to look at, miscast) as Lucky even when the writing didn't do either one of them any favors. That said...I thought Lucky/Liz's fantasy scene was very well done, and I felt that chemistry. But the real reunion...there were moments, but there was just more chemistry in their flashback than I felt in their interactions. I felt Liz had more of a spark with Jason in the brief hug they shared in the same episode than Liz and Lucky. And then as another counterpoint, yes...Ric anytime he is around Liz, RH plays that throughline of love with her. You can see it. You can feel it. And the fact that I was not around for most of the history (though I know of it or have seen some clips) so I know he's a dangerous man and I can still see and feel it between the two of them speaks volume to Hearst as an actor. While I'm happy to see him in other storylines and probably getting with Ava, I cannot help but smh for a minute at the fact that THREE of the men Liz have been involved with with actual PC history are on canvas at the same time, and the New/Old Writers are not going to play with it just a little bit more. But I'm just greedy and want to see Liz on screen as much as I can as a Liz fan. IKR!!! lol.

Good games, too, but I digress...

I agree.

10-3 And now that my system is FINALLY back to working... Awww at the Liason hug. That said...how weird is having Liz, Lucky, Jason, and Sam in the same room after all these years. It felt like 2007 without the fan-warring. lol. And that Jason/Sam scene felt eerily final which makes me wonder if it is going down this coming Friday or next? As for THE reunion...it was all right. I love the flashback...feisty Liz and that chemistry. That said...I felt more of a reaction to Liz with Ric and even Jason than Lucky. Though I love the scenes. That said...THE reunion for me will be Laura and Lucky. Tick, tock. Oh? Hat Dad really IS leaving? Wow. And we might not be seeing Neka much now, too? Her I liked and wanted to see more of. I wonder if it's a way to phase out the nightclub now that Curtis is off running Aurora and mixing it up with Quartermaines. Though I guess that means that Ms. Wu won't be trying to muscle in on it, too. And while I didn't like PM/ER attacking the Ava/Trina friendship or doing it in a jarring way at the end at least, I am happy to see that it's back. And they can confide in each other again. I love that Trina is going back to college and that Ava respected her enough that she was trying to get her to run the gallery. I don't like what they are doing with Portia, but if they are going to paint her as the villain, BK is playing it to the hilt. It is giving Eileen Davidson very slow descent to villainy DAYS circa late 90s while you can still sympathize with her...not that Portia is in the wrong in the first place IMO. Cuz those Portia/Brad scenes were catty. Hehe. In to think I used to think the opposite and now we are two peas in a pod.

Same. Even the comments were mentioning how it was nice to see a smile on her face and looking happy. YW. I figured you would love it as much as I did.

Oh, how I just hollered...God bless him. @kalbir

Poor Paul (the character).

See? Now that sounds intriguing, but alas my system is STILL down. Don't get me started. Hmmm

OC Seating chart!!! OC Seating chart!!!

OC Apparently the reunion is today.

lol. They should have given her her villain era.

I agree. Those were all good hooks with potential. It's a shame (outside of Diane now being a matriarch at the moment) that they been mostly wasted. Allie is gone when she should be around mixing it up with Audra or someone else or even a disagreement with Kyle that sparks a new family feud. Tucker is nowhere in sight. Just mentioned here and there. Stark is dead when he should have been in a scheme team with Giggly Heffa who he had chemistry with. Ashley...TBD. And IMHO, while the story was silly in parts, that was the most interesting Y&R has been with JG back writing. And even every story surrounding that period of time was energized as if JG finally got inspired to have a writing rhythm...not just over one story, but ALL of them.

I don't think it will be dropped completely. I think it WILL still be soapy...but not as scandalous as it would have been for me. It's gone from being completely invested and not sure what side you would be on to clear sides and none of them are pretty. Well tbf, while the points about the co-COS is a valid one (though Portia had a part in the potential Heather story under PM as more than the clear villain she is being painted as now), the head nurse was doing the elusive Liaison dance as well as being a mom to her sons who were being set up to have a Sins of the Father like storyline as Generation Next was taking shape. It was clear a hospital story was taking shape with the Heather storyline and that could have taken a better route than the one that it is under now with the New/Old Writers. And can we even pick on PM's route to get there to the hospital as a focus when the New/Old Writers just got there themselves after a sharp focus on the Mob again with the demise of Wagger? If anything, it appeared that PM was doing the same thing (except for him it was Pikeman specific), but alas we might never fully know?

Hehe. I continue to love how Mo is pulling a RHOA S11 on those tricks. I still wonder if she will factor in this current season given her shadow is still all over it.

Same. Lol. Oh, you.

Amen to that. I have liked for sure that them New/Old Writers have shifted from mob stuff with Wagger to hospital stuff with Heather (unfortunately), Lulu, Brad, injured folk. Yep, yep. If we can't have Zeke, we got another good one at least.
