That's how I feel as well. I didn't watch cuz we know I usually do in order...lol...but I do know the ratings fell only a little from last season so they maintained their audience for the most part due to everyone wanting to see the true fallout. It's also why I find it so odd what is going around about Bravo putting it on pause. I could get it if the ratings weren't there. But...it is still there. Wonder what's up.

I agree about Georgie...her generation's Robin I felt. Same on JD and how rare he acted afterwards. Same on there not being another Barrett sibling. I don't think Eden is a bad actress, either. If anything it's a sign of her skill that audience members feel something that is not indifference. That said, Joss is annoying. Ah! I see. re: Logan as Text Killer. Yeah, I might have hated her, but I can't deny how rootable she was. I only did not root for her when she was up against Bobbie, Robin, and later Elizabeth.

Wait WHAT??? It was going to be LOGAN???

I will give credit where it's due. It's not as bad with Eden as it was pre-writing change. Perhaps Eden saw the recast and thought about switching it up somewhat. I definitely enjoyed the recast so much more. You're not wrong. It really did. At least there was potential with Logan as Scott's son and Cooper being allegedly connected to She of the Bren. And Diego...woof. Then Maxie, Georgie, Lulu, and Dillon with their history. Le sigh.

I can see that. I know I've said this before, but there's just something about how EM plays Joss that is annoying...that was not at all apparently with her temp recast who was given the same writing. Smug sums that up nicely. PS. Not alone on the Aidan recast. Took me half the episode to notice.

Lol. Same. Other than the mysterious enemy Jennifer Smith was talking to...yes. There was the loudhead nephew of one of the dead mob bosses, but Sonny handled that. Especially Logan. WOOF.

Hehe

But could Dex pull off old money?

I think after the 3 part finale the word on the street is that VPR is going on pause. And there is also something being hidden that comes out during the reunion going on that NO ONE has seen. Speaking of REUNION TRAILER ANYONE...?

For now. *cue Dr. Evil pinkie look*

Same.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cuz Nina isn't a foolish choice. But seriously, I think it has been there actually. At least before he started to sleep with Nina, Drew definitely showed some hints of that resentment. Everyone else was hearing about Jason return and Drew would be quick to change the subject. Wagger paid him a visit to remind him of what Drew could lose if he gets entangled with Jason, and Drew made his feelings clear to Wagger how he felt about Jason was another time he showed his resentment over the return. Jason's hearing where it was all over his face. I feel like he even discussed it with Jordan. Then again, typing all that out...I guess it could be more. Nina/Drew is just a good (and hot) distraction for me I guess. But scruffy Drew IS the best Drew. 5-6 And what was I just saying about investment. I'm liking the whole Dante-centricness of this episode. From talking to Sam (who got to express how she's thinking which I liked) to him heading to Anna. Under the other writing team, I had been wondering if Dante/Sonny being so close (and I talk all the time about how I love that) and grew closer would someday result in a conflict of interest for Dante. And OMG...THAT DAY HAS COME!!! Under better writers, too. And I feel invested because the groundwork has been done for me. Dante smacked that badge down on the desk and I gasped. I'm talking to my tv. I mean...when I think Dante, I think COP. It's such a part of his identity that where would he go if he left. Anna trying to talk him out of it has been superb. I hope that this is a sign that the writers are invested in Dante and this leads to more story for him. Perhaps in the form of a former wife of his that is off canvas...? Kristina did what now? Uh oh. I like this (not unexpected) wrinkle in the Kristina surrogacy storyline. At least she did it around Alexis. And it's great to see Alexis talking it out with Diane. Blaze has a brother? Hmmm. That said...I have liked Sonny/Natalia so far. But she might want to watch out for Ava.

But seriously...lol...yeah. No lingering feelings. No Get back together. Just stormed out. And left...right into hate sexing Nina. Shocking, but can't hate Drew for that. I mean didn't the last time Jason come back, Sonny and Carly immediately drop him, too? I wasn't regularly viewing then. You remind me of Anna clocking Carly, too, when Carly was hiding Jason at the house and stalling for him. Anna even knows at this point. lol. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point, a character will now call Jason out on that very thing. Watch. lol. Same way about my beards and especially my oj. Not hating. Just found it unexpectedly funny.

Not Store Brand!!!

Oh, I totally agree!!! If Jason and Carly were not obsessed with each other, we all would side-eye them during this return. I still hollered in my head at the fact that as soon as Drew found out Jason was alive, he broke up with Carly and left with the quickness. And Drew has been around for their history as long as the rest of us. HOLLERED. Because...what he said to her as he broke up with her WAS...ALL..TRUE. So...consistency.

5-2 And to think I almost skipped the standalone. It just reminds me of GL Wednesdays and I never really loved those. And they are hit and miss at Y&R. Usually, they have almost no consequences on the show. But WOW!!! Seeing Jack fall off the wagon...IS a gamechanger. And fall low. And it doesn't seem seem like it was a fantasy of Nikki's either. So BOOM!!! Diane gets a story...and new energy a la new feud with Nikki going forward. But he has been from what I've seen in interviews, boards, all around. Didn't he and SC fall out over some comments he made years ago while Nick/Phyllis was back together. And then there was that time he gave an interview...maybe on THE TALK?...where he was asked about Nick's relationships and made a comment and then MS fell a way for a while. As a reason, he rarely speaks about Phyllis or Sharon in order to not get either woman in their feelings. And then there's the times JM always try to play up all his leading ladies not them over the years because the sad truth is that SC is his best acting partner, but JM is NOT hers.

That would be a GREAT compromise and I wouldn't mind them coming to that conclusion as well. I don't think Carly and Jason have been to bed...other than that almost moment before Sonny post-Nixon Falls walked in...since the 90s. They have just always been THAT close. But now that he has children (and babymamas), it does seem odd, but it's ALWAYS been that way.

lol. Them facts.

And it is about time for Kristina for sure.

Heheh. True. But that's ALWAYS been true. lol. What's been great about the writing change and Jason's return is that he's now being called out about it. Emphais on FINALLY.

5-3 I have to give credit where credit is due. I'm sure I've mentioned that LW is not my favorite Carly. And the writing has been all over with her Carly. So when there are moments when Carly is CARLY, I always get a little giggle. Such was the case when Carly waiting in Sonny's penthouse. God, that took me back to all the times Carly did in the 90s. And of course, she would get into it with whatever woman Sonny was involved it. So for that, this episode was like Old Home Week for me. lol. And dare it! If I didn't scream when she almost figured it out about Sonny and his meds. I guess it show how invested (and how long) the Sonny med storyline has been going on that I feel invested. Same for Alexis's quest to get her license back. Now we are down to picking out clothes. I can't believe it's closer. I'm still hoping that when (if) it does happen, Alexis does find herself beside her with her as lawyer vs her as editor. Also same for a feeling of investment...Drew and Nina. They are so falling for each other. You see it with Nina in Drew's car (and the fact she's in his car) and you see that with Drew when Nina is singing his virtues to the senator. And...I'm not minding it. Seeing all their hate slowly (slowly) melting. We know I live for Sonny/Dante scenes.

And I lived the FATAL ATTRACTIONS in real time...ooooooo the chills I've gotten from what I've seen. And I LOVED the Rogue to Jean shade.

In that dogfight of Willow, Sasha, and Michael...even the ladies outpace him at the moment. With Willow that's only because of the potential triangle that might come her way. And with Sasha...well...she's always had potential bad girl/girl down on her luck about her that bad writing aside works to her advantage. Such wasted potential. But at least he's in the Quartermaine fold again aside from that rushed tale.

Exactly. BB has gone too far. It will be somewhat interesting to see him try, but I ain't at all holding my breath.
