I figured it would be bad and I remember @carolineg had some interesting comments to the scenes. I figured it would be some propped writing with her being the victim. That IS NOT what I saw. WL did such a great job with those scenes (and the next day which I'm watching as I type) and said everything I wanted to see him say so I'm fine. Joss though...what a B. lol. I am no longer at all interested in the Joss/Dex pairing. In fact...GIRL, BYE. I'm about ready to go RHOA/RHOP Housewife on her and read her down. lol. But writer in me, looking forward to it exploding in the middle of the Michael vs Sonny feud. Yep. I see myself living through Spencer in terms of disliking Dex moving forward. He has been good.

1-25 I saw Lauren's episode. I liked it, but it really screamed missed opportunity to me. Always happy to see Jill, but does anyone care that Jill and her are still sisters? Fen coming out and it all happened off screen? And so much focus on Paul...but where was he? And no Brad? And the worst fear realized for some here...they all just sitting around talking. I did love the flashbacks. OOOOH MARY HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!!! That whole scene...lol. No one really does shade like how Paul's mother did it. I don't have enough scenes of Joanna who it was nice seeing her. It was great to see the Traci/Lauren rivalry touched on. And we know I LOVED seeing any of the Sheila/Lauren lab catfight...still hoping she shows up now that she's attached to Bill Spencer. Could you imagine Lauren's reaction? And I don't know about everyone else, but during the midway point commercial breaks, they did a montage of Lauren's appearances in the various openings. I didn't know Lauren was around for the...paint stroke(?) Y&R opening. More proof of her legacy. Liked it, but again missed opportunity. Nice to know I am not the only one who likes Sharon.

Same. Sorry, Suds.

1-23 In my opinion, I didn't feel Cameron was soft on Joss at all. If anything, he could have gone harder. And Joss? She's DEAD to me after this day's exchange. Using the Hook attack for sympathy. And then she was all 'oooh, I was going to break up with you before that anyway.' You selfish t@at. I was cheering that Cameron went there and asked her period if they had slept together before she broke up. He ain't stupid. Oh, and then she said she was not sorry for it happening. You bitca. RME. And AHA!!! I am happy to see I was RIGHT!!! When Liz had that talk with Nikolas about the memory erasing drug...I knew he would get Tasha Yar to town. And here we are!!! And those writers really are painting Nik into that corner more and more. I'm assuming he's the Friday cliffhanger if anything this week if he stops airing this week or next. A small moment, but I liked seeing Sam in P.I. mode. Since Mac isn't doing it, I wish someone was being a P.I. on this show. Could lead to an interesting adventure. Though I am wondering if Heather is Maggie. Or if Maggie is a person. I stay loving Spencer's clear disdain for Dex. I guess I am now projecting. lol.

I agree. Re: Bill and Sheila. It has been so jarring hearing from him and her about how they met up at Il Gradino one night and walked the beach and got to know each other. Aka TELL, NOT SHOW. It would have been so much better if while Sheila was at Deacon, they had an episode where she was in disguise at the bar, oblivious, and she hears that regular bartender saying 'you here again. the usual? what's new?' All the audience see is a set of hands...at first. Sheila's head turns to the hands and then the camera pans up to reveal...DOLLAR BILL...sad. Sheila's wheels turning are shown on her face. Fade out. And then...don't play it for months or give them one more scene in the months leading up to Sheila's car chase. So that when she confronts Finn and Steffy. THEN...the Dollar Bill reveal. Aka SHOW, DON'T TELL.

I feel that. When I came back to regularly viewing, I was just as shocked since I stopped around 2014/5.

Yay!! YW.

The only talent he appears to have now is when Ben was evil. Sadly.

Nope, but that has been a sleeper hit show so he's off to better things. I agree. He's had such potential with both characters so it's a shame.

Oooooh...?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Now how soon before she and Lauren Koslow get in a scene together? ETA: For just a phone call? Meh. Let's hope it's for more than that.

And like I just said in the Y&R thread...RIGHTFULLY SO.

And RIGHTFULLY SO!!!! If no one is going to write for EITHER of his characters. Go, Daddy, go!!!

I agree. Like I said yesterday, I've enjoyed most of the acting, but the Sheila story is dragging a bit again. So fresh stories are good. Steffy is the co-CEO I believe. Hope is just the head of the HFTF division so under Steffy. Unless I'm wrong.

Yeeeeah I'm not looking forward to either.

Well hopefully Nina gets a good slap in on Carly at least.

lol. I totally understand. And it sounds like this week has been about propping her and Carly so ugh. She really does.

Mmmmm....that chest. WOOF!!! Same.

lol. Tell us how you ready feel. ;D Oooooo Given all the teasing and slow burning and yes, stalling, that is very good to hear.

Ha

OMG! Who had THIS? Yeah it's not sounding like Julia is doing much from what I've seen. At least Guerdy (like Doctor Wendy) gives looks and great reaction shots.

Ooooo I think for me this week it's been... EAST NEW YORK Season 1 YOUNGER Season 4 (reaching the episode I saw first for the first time with context hehe) FAMILY KARMA Season 3 WILL Season 1

The whole storyline actually. But...tbf they don't do enough with what they have now. After all where did Noah and Allie go?

1-25 You may think your va-jay-jay is good, Sheila, but you ain't got NOTHING on Ms. Brooke Forrester. Look at Bill actually hesitating. But seriously, while I've been enjoying the past week and a half of everyone's acting...and even DD had a moment this week...yeah, this is starting to drag just a liiiiiiiiiiittle bit. Though it was fun to see Brooke lose her s&*(, I'm ready to see Sheila start to flaunt some of that Spencer power. And dare I say...Spencer money? I was so happy to see the show bring back some of the other plots. it's good we are still dealing with the aftermath of Thomas's plot. And see him trying to see if he can manipulate himself back into the company. That said...are the writers about to try to go there with Thomas/Paris again? She does think he's cute. And even though Zende said on screen he and Paris are JUST friends...is he really going to let her fall for him if the story was to go there. Which it kinda should because Thomas and Zende having a rivalry is literally RIGHT...THERE. I know Zende was hurt to read that review. I would love to see him step it up and be a good fashion rival to Thomas. Or...just fashion period. Aren't we overdue a rivalry fashion showdown? And look at Deacon owning a restaurant. Setting down roots. And I hollered at him asking Sheila who was better in bed...him or the Stallion. Heheh. Something about those blue collar bad boys...hehe.
