Good. I was wondering since they were 3 episodes ahead before.

So with the change, does that mean that US is now ahead of them on episodes or will they sync up?

Coming into January finally and... I do like that we are entering 2026 with some new stories. It's been all about Luna for much too long. And I guess we know why we got a good amount of last month focused on the Spencers. Excited for the Spencers vs the Forresters. And already Team Spencer (well Team Katie) because the entitlement pouring off of Ridge and Brooke was too much. I didn't like the silliness of Liam, Carter, and the trademark/copyright, but I do like and look forward to where this storyline is going. And I'm just shaking my head at Homeless Dylan. I like we have a new girl around. But...homeless? And all the intrigue fell away when the story already took a turn to the preachy. Probably why Will had to do all of that shirtless. And if this is going to turn into Dylan goes Psycho...le sigh. You had one on canvas and ruined the character. So...NO PLEASE.

Hehe. Also very.

Very.

OH...I didn't realize that I still had the last few episodes of Season 1 because of how Hulu has it set up on my system. Well, I guess I get to get my rewatch in after all. hehe. Very good to hear!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I like me some Jordi so I can't wait. It will be interesting to see how it takes to get to his first appearance given how long it took to get to Vaughn from first announced to air time.

Hehe. Thank you. :)

They reversed it after the firing. ;) There was so much backlash from the audience. And if I remember correctly someone that was waaaay up the authority pole also had a biiiig issue with the remodel on top of that. I want to say the board was surprised that someone that high up was even still paying attention to the show at that point. I'm sure one of the other old school Y&R fans can verify what I'm saying. It's been a looooong time since I've thought about it.

If I remember correctly, it was THAT remodel that finally got her fired.

Same. No spoilers here from what I know of it.

I have yet to see Season 2, but from hearing about it from everyone here, it was a wrong move all around and darkly toxic.

Oh, YES. Believe the hype, darling. ;) One of the best first seasons out there for a HW show.

Can I say that just like how much I liked Curtis vs Drew that I have loved how organically (for the most part) and growing the rift between Dante and Chase has become over the last year? Perhaps it's because they became best friends over time, but watching it fall to the wayside due to the Gio storyline has good. Or perhaps it's the fact that neither is completely in the right nor wrong now that it's moved beyond Gio to now Willow.

Nothing wrong with that. It's very much why I don't mind still buying DVDs and CDs. Cuz at any moment, people/companies can (and have) just make streaming content vanish with nowhere to find it.

Ugh at Number 1.

Wow. Billy only had 7 appearances this month? So much for Aristotle Dumas.

LOL!!! I miss her.

I can't remember. Did I manage to drop the RI trailer here before the system update? I thought I did. But yeah, they are not promoting it at all. I did hear about Teresa and Melissa. Like everyone else, I saw it as transparent. I DID hear about Shamea and Porsha and Drew, but I don't know how true it is...yet. I can't wait to get around to seeing it. re: London. That said...how was Stansbury??? Raquel was proof that you can look original and not be over-the-top and still have a fascinating personality AND living a fascinating life. She, like Tia, was another example of a new housewife doing their first year right. The stuff with her ex, the exploration of the art world and mystery surrounding her blacklisting, her story with her mother, her and Mel. There was so much to draw from...and she was willing to show it. She was also willing to explore actual friendships with the ladies. And I loved Mel with Abe so much...Best Unexpected Couple 2025...hehe. And because I can't say it enough, she gave us the POSE party! I was living. And people that were there were posting on social media in real life, too. It was a ki-ki!!! How Bravo could not want her back is a mystery to me.

Since your comment made me curious @carolineg , I'm actually watching the Luke Last Episode. I never saw it in real time. And wow! What a difference a decade makes indeed. While I don't like the writing technique I like to call 'who's on first' dialogue that RC used to use to stall on getting a piece of plot movement across, overall the writing is actually better than how I feel about it now. I still see his humor in the Morgan/Dillon gay misunderstanding, but it all just feel...stronger?...put together. But what I wanted to talk about was MAXIE. So much better styling. I love that Megan Ward-ish Kate bob she's wearing. And she's giving every inch of the fashionista I'm used to her being with Madelaine who is giving pure ice queen. So it's an even match. Makes me wish Maxie had a rival now to catfight with. Excuse me but...MMMMMMMMmmmm DANTE. God, looked just as good then as he still does now. And watching these scenes is just making me side-eye current GH where he and Lulu are not together cuz these scenes show their couple power to me. Trivial note...I rarely have found Roger Howarth attractive, but him with that short hair and that nice full goatee...is making me think WOOF. Nice to see Laura relevant. Yeah...Luke's last episode does feel like it's in a vacuum so I can see why people had issues with it. This is making me miss Dillion. And again...Valerie...a wasted opportunity. And double WOOF on Nathan. Ric can also still get it. And I totally forgot that Michelle Stafford was originally Nina.

Same.

And they are. I'm enjoying every minute of it, too. Cuz that was just plain stupid and they know it. Even more obnoxious as when the CBS player 'randomly' deletes a Y&R/B&B episode which it has been known to do. Back when both were more worthy of viewing.

Well, we suspected. Moreso once the Pluto channel vanished. So sad. More course correcting. Nice to see. Bill/Dani/Andre has been too background as of late so I am excited for it to get its focus back. I could have told you about Marcel and SPS. ;P I saw that talk earlier about Ben and I admit that I am curious. Then again...I've been said that Tomas's actor is on his way out so we will see. As for Ashley...well...if you aren't in the Spoiler thread, then I won't say a thing. Though the updated headshot is a sign.

YES! to Next Week! It looks like Bill/Dani/Andre will be back in focus. More Anita's Cancer fallout. Joey vs SPS. It looks like we got our main focus going forward.
