Since it was pointed out earlier online and we know how much I love her... ...today is/was the 49th anniversary of Genie Francis stepping into the role of Laura. In awe, but I do hope that we are getting something for her 50th next year.

THIS.

It would nice to see Laura bring out her claws for sure.

Not Dallas!! lol.

Hey, new script writer, hey! Today is definitely a day for the supporting cast. Jan. Caroline (who I continue to like as Bill's henchwoman and we all know I LOVE a henchwoman to a powerful man). Lysnette. And even Pamela...who has been quite frequent as of late. Yay. Once we started discussing it this past weekend, I was hoping you would chime in. Cuz I was thinking about sets as I was rewatching the week. It's been a year so my mind is starting to 'twitch' lol.

A missed show.

Hehe...Not Miguel in Bad Bunny's halftime performance and no Blaze or Lois in sight. ;) But seriously Ricky Martin cameo-in.

Very stupid. Especially in light of the fact that at one point Dante and Lulu were THE young couple on this show getting story after story after story. BLQ been a rival in that story before as well. So there's enough history there to play with. As long as the writing doesn't slant. That we have. And still discussing. Should have never taken away his own Achilles heel.

Ugh. But...same. They haven't given much for Alexa to do since the rivalry between Lulu and BLQ has cooled waaaay down.

Or perhaps once Lulu and Nathan happen (ick), Dante will start to have feelings for her. BLQ probably won't develop feelings for him though until after she finds out Chase slept with Willow. And by the time Dante and BLQ get together...'Nathan' is unmasked, bringing us back to the BLQ vs Lulu rivalry which has been too dormant.

And that would be an argument because I felt Drew's changes were gradual as well. I do take issue with the writers going too far by taking away the only redeeming factor he had as he was changing: Scout. Whether one loved the actress or not, if the writers were going to have Drew running around being this way rather than masking his villainy like a true politician...which he was doing cleverly at first. His courtroom meltdown could have been a way to pivot him, too, I felt. Because I knew Drew had jealousy issues with Jason...which is why him dropping Carly like a hot potato when Jason returned under PM...hilarious, BUT in character...but I never knew he had grown so much hatred at Michael's place in the Quartermaine family. It's something that could totally be his throughline going forward and something that is just itching to be explored. I was sad to see a rift between him and Dante, but I do love that the writers have kept that tension going throughout multiple stories. Chase has also been a hothead at times (and CS can play him like a kid having a tantrum). They just need to pick up the pace in growing a rift between him and BLQ so that that can happen.

I agree with you. It would be nice if the writing had more of a build to the incoming Chase/BLQ friction rather than having it come into story infrequently, but they have set it up perfectly how in character it has been for Chase to want to either solve a mystery or be Captain SaveAHo. Michael has called him out. Tracy has called him out. Dante has called him out. And finally (and a few times) BLQ has called him out. They see this as a character flaw with him so I don't see why other people would not. Unless they are bias to the Chase/BLQ relationship.

Thank you for the link. And Y&R was never the same....

@kalbir Happy anniversary to your man!! Eric Braeden made his first appearance as the Great Victor Newman in 1980 today.

Now you know that didn't happen. ;P

Ooooo that is tea!!

Oh my Goodness. Willow has a smirk now? And she reads people down, too? I might start to stan. lol. Poor Kristina.

oh

RHOM...the continued stepchild of the HW shows.

Ah, I see. Do people think it is unnecessary? It might be sad to see him go, but I would rather have some closure than none at all.

That's not negative. Like you said...credit where it's due. And trust that I don't even want to give him that, but that's a fact. I don't even want to say it that way. But when we got that lovely classic episode at the beginning of the year where you got to see the mansion at its best with all that space AND during a party with everyone mixing it up...it's very sad to see what it is now. And it also says a lot that they have that long hallway and no one really using it. The Newman ranch now has a hallway and they were using it right, left, and everywhere in-between when it was unveiled. And before I stopped watching, they still found ways to use all of that space. But I guess it's all about Cane and his train...which also has a hallway now I see.

I didn't even know that Stefano was alive yet again...I vaguely remember hints from when I last regularly viewed, but I can't remember if it was ever confirmed off the top of my head...until this week's promo. So it seems they did take that approach of him alive and off-screen. I do like with that mind, they are giving some form of closure to him to move on to the next generation. I know there are plenty of them on canvas.

I will take more Kate any way I can get her. That sounds really interesting. re: Marlena and the candles. Thank you for the tip. I think I will be diving in this weekend so looking forward to seeing it. Thank you for this. I had seen the promo and I admit that I was not sure what was going on since Stefano has been getting the Sally Spectra approach (character is alive while actor/actress passes in real life) for the last few years.
