LOL. I was just about to do that myself. ;)

Mmmmm

Mmmmm

Yay!! Watchmate! I'll be doing Episode 5 later. ;) I really have been liking it for that reason as well. Hehe I can see that with Scott. I really did like nerves and all, his vulnerability at saying how he felt straightforward to Kip. Hehe...Okay save. Or a rugby player. A navy man as of late...but I feel that.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Not Hayley verbally dogwalking Bill!!!

And while I'm thinking about it...GOOD to see Kevin getting mixed into the plot again. Though I can't help but think about how his increase in appearances here is noticeable on BTG where Joey has been appearing less.

I so do like Stella and her friendship. They are overdue another session for sure. I never hated him myself so hearing about a violinist coming to PC, I just assumed a new love interest for Trina. That said...I do like Gio and Emma though so it would be a false step to even try it now (Gio/Trina) which I was down for at first.

Unless it vanishes by the time I catch up...I feel like it's building slowly, but surely. I really liked that BLQ finally started to call Chase out about Willow at the house when he knew better.

Awww

I feel that. That was such a good episode, too.

Almost done with Episode 4...and I don't know how I feel about Rose. I did love Episode 4's montage. I love how Ilya's family drama is growing. And this show stays having great music.

And yet for all that shifting, I actually enjoy Jason on my screen doing not much vs Sonny. In my own catch-up, I have also been greatly enjoying the bond between Rocco and Gio. And Rocco showing how much backbone he has...and he was the nicer kid out of the current youth set.

Awww thank you. I think another reason why she stood out for me is that usually in soap stories it's the son who takes after the dad with the daughter taking after the mother, but with old school Y&R, it was the reverse. And Bill Bell knew how to bring some complexity to his characters, brought to life with great actors and actresses. Heather was a find, grew into her role, and you could not take your eyes off her. She could be heroine. She could be a bitca. She can be like I said earlier ruthless. But through all of that, you could still care about her. And I lived for some of her catfights. There was a radio show that did recaps when I was a kid and it says something to the talents of the mc as well as how the characters on Y&R that I could word-for-word hear what he was quoting in her voice. I was in awe. I like Katie and wished Brad used her more and better which is why I don't mind her in focus right now. But ooooo Victoria was HT's signature character. I mean how can you not like a character who named her company Brash and Sassy?

THIS. His heir. The name. Not to be toyed with. Just like her dad.

She would be b slapped by a scheming Carly and BLQ. Oh, wait... ;)

Yeah. For sure. I just reached the part of my viewing where Portia needed a doctor and while not first choice, Britt does know her stuff and do what she had to do. Easily coming across as a human being, too.

At least she's not pulling a Carlivati. Or is it Carli Vati. ;)

Yeah, he's just a tool to her now. GOOD.

Yeah, he's just a tool to her now. GOOD.

Ooooo she was a find at the age of 15 when she started. Every inch as ruthless as her father Victor Newman, but hell on wheels still rootable...when you didn't want to shake her. And their final scenes with her in the role of Victoria was good.

Hollering. But also about to watch. ;)

Yeah, I could go with that. And if anyone can do savage and play it to the hilt, it would be Heather Tom if you ever saw her as the original Victoria Newman on Y&R.

Hey. I was humming their song just the other day. Don't get it stuck in my head again. :) I honestly do wonder if with Anita's current story if they will loop back to Devon at all.

Amen. They should always have competing fashion houses. YES.

hehe. You are. :) Which is a sign the story did its job. ;) I think that's why I honestly liked it so much. The first months like you said was full of twist, turns, reveals...and this story...was slow and steady, but did arrive at an end so it stands out more to me because it did. Meanwhile, we are still dealing with SPS and Laura's accident, Dani/Bill, etc. Meanwhile that Articulate story did its thing. First we got Anita's anxiety about singing, but also how she missed singing. Then we got karoake night. Then the producer. Then the first phone call and hang up heehee. We got the Barbara note reveal. Sharon. Tracy adding to my lists of soap characters I love named Tracy (GH/Y&R shoutout). Tracy and Anita dealing with their issues. Sharon and Anita dealing with their issues. And then...the concert and resolution. I also liked that while it was tied up in a nice little bow, there are still loose threads to mine from it like you mentioned. Of course, there's the obvious SPS as Barbara's daughter. And I still feel...well before Guza left...that the Devon/rerecording of songs with Barbara's voice would come into play. This silly Vernon/Sharon story...still behind don't spoil me! hehe. And Dante Green is STILL out there. And I am sure there's little bits of backstory that they can still use to keep Sharon and Tracy around or just have them pop in for another arc for. It was a good initial story with possibilities for down the road. But hopefully you don't think I am trying to devalue your opinion. I wouldn't mind it being longer either, but as is, it's a nice little story gem in a rough first year. And that concert is soooo remarkable. Yeah, you can count me in as one of those bored posters. Still enjoyable. And I'm happy to see that it has appeared to get some of its momentum back heading into the Christmas episodes which is good.
