He can stay gone.

6-6 Yeeeeeah NO on Gio/Joss. While I was happy to see the pool was back cuz that meant some shirtless (hopefully hot) men are coming, I am not down for that. Watching them just made me think he's standing where Cameron should be. And his general personality and interests just seem more intuned with Trina. Though I would not be against Trina/Joss clashing over a guy. Well before PM left anyway. And WOW. Outside of him with Anna, this might be the most interest I had in a story with Finn in it for a good minute. Even when I was not viewing or reading the occasional recap, I knew about Finn's issues. And I found the Liz/Finn talk where he was trying to dismiss his drinking by addiction as tone deaf. But perhaps a hurrying way to close out that storyline. So him having a drink at Gregory's funeral (and Chase seeing) was a surprise. And not because the episode ended on a cliffhanger. Also, continuing to love the chemistry between him and Alexis. Better late than never. I admit I had a little smile when I saw Kristina show up at the recording studio to stand by her woman. That said, it was annoying to see Natalia trying to drive a wedge between her and Blaze.

As I recall, these kind of stunts was why people at his former workplace soured on him. Oh, hush, @Soapsuds. 😜

Oh, thank you Lord Baby Jesus!!!! Fingers crossed it's Lucky. And it BETTER not be Roger.

I just said this over in the main article thread. If PM was still there, I was really hoping that Lucky was finally coming home. So I hope not.

Well if PM was still there I would say Lucky. So I don't have a clue. I will throw something if it's Roger Howarth.

An actual problematic young actor (allegedly) back? Yeeeah NO. Unless he's grown .

I blame it on the theme song replacement.

Lol. Not high camp!!

Oooooo HELL-HO!!! Ms. Quad, Ms. Quad...she got it, SHE GOT IT!!!!

OC Niice!!! Come thru Alexis!!!

Oh so I'm about to swoon very soon. Thank you.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't stop making me miss you and my past self...

Someone with good story ideas and more than likely great execution YES. Though I know good and well if you were writing Y&R JM would be written out under your watch. JOKING!!! lol. I also agree. Cuz I know we had an excellent flow the February Sweeps that had Portia's wedding and things were popping. And I want to say the same for the February Sweeps before that. And it was clear come March that someone had derailed it and I am sure I went off about it because GH was Must See TV at that point. All that momentum only to be stalled and characters no one cared about being center stage. Clearly sabotage. Most def the best Sam. KM leaning into her Livvie Locke roots and being the villainess/schemer you love to hate. I miss her in that role.

It would be a good slip up for the industry all the same.

My co-worker has been talking about it forever and I do love Angela Bassett. But all this Buck talk...finally had to go look. And birthday...always looking for a good man.

THIS. Leaving to one of the craziest catfights EVER...cliffhanger and all. lol. Good times. Hehe. Sounds like you had a great time.

Ooooo TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Given the business they would have to be. And that's only including comments and not the behind the scene drama.

6-7 So now that I've sat down and slept on it. I have mixed feelings about the climax to Ashley's storyline. Well... to be exact... that it has another turn coming and she'll be off canvas it seems for a bit. I thought everything Paris was well done. And the twist with Alan was good even if the fight was cheesy. Well done, but CHEEEESE. Especially since he was limping around a commerical break later. I was expecting Tucker to be that guy that came to rescue her. In a way, this felt like the story is going to be prolonged only so he can do just that. I just didn't like that Alan was like 'we still don't know all of the truth.' Well... don't we? Even hinting at something waaayyyyy back in the past worries me that JG is doing to mess up some history and Y&R is one of the few soaps you cannot get away with that without some backlash On a personal note, I hope I do find something interesting coming. lol. Just like the last time Ashley's storyline took up a whole week (and was well done with cliffhangers every day), I hope this show this week isn't like how the show was post-that week...aka annoying, uneven, and focused on boring story.

Hey now, I was always a fan. But of course that predates the board, but hey lol!!! 6-3 One thing I'm going to definitely miss when PM's name leaves the screen is going to be all the shades of gray. Like Ava...she's been slowly but surely going back to be a villain yet you can see how much she has feelings for Trina. And now here's this talk with Natalia. We all know I'm loving seeing Beast...I mean Brennan...being all of a dangerous and cunning in a way Cyrus never truly was...not to mention charming and not without a sense of humor. Even Carly has her moments. Not all heroes, not all villains. Can't say the same for Valentin lmao. One thing I loved about PM taking over was that it seem like he was surely writing an exit for him and Ava. And I know that has been something that the majority of the people here have been wanting to happen so I was looking forward to it. He was not my favorite Cassandine, but if they are not going to be around, no need for him really. So I was looking forward to him leaving since it gave him direction and a beginning, middle, and end. That said...good cliffhanger with that. lol. But so was Friday's now that I think about it. And picking up on this episode...I giggled at Jason's sideway shot.

Hehe. I was waiting for you to comment. Now where's @soapfan770? I almost wish that I had not seen the NEXT WEEK promo because I was hoped on the coda last week when Alan revealed he never talked to her and was trying to figure out what that could mean. I was that invested. lol. Again...the power of the Ash. I agree with you on well acted and the twist. Dislike JG I have on this run, but it's clear he really does love the Abbotts above all other families and it shows. I admit that I've been mostly nit-picky on everything BUT (and even then I have, too) the Ashley storyline. And I attest that to Eileen Davidson's acting and everyone around her aka the Abbott family. Cuz the story has been so uneven though that even worked in its favor due to Eileen Davidson giving a masterclass on acting with a split personality. Those tells she gave long before the story took off were flawless.

Amen. YES. Double YES. Same. Interesting to hear.

I finally broke down and peeked in to see what the whohow was about. Go on Angela Bassett!!! And I really got hooked into the custody drama with Hen and Anne Hathaway's friend from THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and RENT. It's going to wind up on my binge list.
