No!! Wow!!!!  We are losing more legends left and right. 
 

im just beyond grateful that they brought Marla/Dina back for those few years. Everyone already said it, but she definitely brought a presence back to the show that was needed since JCs/Katherines passing. her chemistry with all the Abbott kids (even PBs Jack) was definitely electric, and I’m thrilled that the Alzheimer’s story got her an Emmy! 
 

She will be forever missed!

Revealing Sugar’s actual name, Janet Webber, was a nice touch, as the name is a compound of both of Robin Mattson’s most famous roles.

Haha that went over my head...that's pretty cute actually.

so sad to hear this  I remember she looked frail during her return for Victors 40th anniversary in 2020. My condolences to her and her family. 

This is definitely a good move if this is true!

Eric Braeden is definitely a surprise?? I thought he was one of the Emmy boycotters because he said it was a popularity contest and not taken seriously…

which he’s right…lol

I just member seeing a clip on YouTube of them dancing in like a living room I think? And there was this music playing “you was made to love me” something like that.

Unfortunately my channel was deleted or else I’d probably know what episode it was, although I’m sure it’s in the vault. 

The countdown to 2025 already begins!!

It was a very off period. The Eric Taylor thing was really sick back then. Thank God it didn't end with sex.

I feel like this proved Taylor was no better or arguably worse than Brooke getting closer to Eric. I wish Stephanie would have found out about them yet the show really didn’t want her to lose her only confident and Ally it seems….although Stephanie never had any issues with Taylor sleeping around, as she knew about her and James for years…

I know this was last Friday but I loved Lauren and Steffys scenes. It was fun to see them bond over Sheila’s “death” I guess Steffy didn’t inherit her grandmothers later disdain for Lauren like she did the Logan’s…haha  

Is this Carl person gonna end up being the one that helped Sheila fake her death? Someone said he was also involved with the whole Brooke/Taylor baby Jack situation.

Ah, but you see, as was explained to us several times, Kevin can't help committing crimes, but he doesn't like being in jail, because his father put him in a closet!

The less we speak of that man child, the better!  lol 

Im kind of wondering with Victor accepting Claire so quickly, maybe it’s less to do with how she was manipulated by Jordan and more so how maybe he sees himself in her?  Basically someone who goes to all the extremes to get what they want, though it hurts others. And someone who’s had a rotten upbringing such as Victor had? I don’t think JG is clever enough to go there without having to acknowledge everything Victor has done over the years, but that’s basically my theory?

And Summer is the mean one because she doesn't think it's a good idea, lol. 

Im kind of on Summers side here….shes making the most sense on her feelings RE: Claire. You know something is wrong when even Victor has moved on from all the harm she’s caused.

I’m glad @Taoboi! As always I’ll try not to spoil too much.

I thought at first that Tuesday 4/2 was going to be a Snoozeday but I was actually pleasantly surprised by the Cole/Victoria scenes. Obviously HT would have been a joy to have back, but Peck as Cole should’ve been brought back a decade ago and surprisingly AH actually did the nostalgia factor well as the two dust off their chemistry from their AMC days.

And I’m curious on where Claire goes from here. Yesterday she was given ridiculous recycled 

Poor Mariah & Tessa reduced to nothing over their non-house hunting story.

Honestly at the moment a Kyle/Summer reunion with tension actually makes the most sense. I don’t know why we were denied a Summer/Audra fight, but Kyle/Summer felt more natural than anything Chance/Summer lately and that’s because of some bad writing with JG being to blame.

 

If I had to write Y&R in 2024, there’d be an immediate refocus on all characters lol.

First thing first, Chancellor-Winters gets dissolved when it’s realized the company is unprofitable, plus it’s realized the mysterious company is slowly raiding up all the assets. 

Newman Enterprises still stands with Victor, Adam and Victoria finally coming together on a common ground. Claire wants to put her previous business acumen along with experience with kids to use and prove her loyalty to the Newman’s by proposing a new special fun fragrance/deodorant that is kid friendly. This inspires Victoria to revive Brash & Sassy

Jabot with Jack, Billy, and Ashley return fire by developing their own kid-friendly fragrance/deodorant. Ally returns to help and reveals she’s broken up with Noah but for unknown reasons. Meanwhile everyone is uncertain when it’s discovered Jill still has  power at Jabot to install Lily as PR at Jabot 

Diane goes back to architecture and Kyle quits Jabot to help her out, but by both are bothered when Tucker approaches them with a new office building in Genoa City for  the same mysterious company that devoured Chancellor-Winters and it’s deduced he’s in bed with the company.

Fenmore’s is in trouble again, so Lauren requests the assistance of both Summer and Sally to their dismay and also has hired Audra as the crisis manager. Fireworks ensure.

Chance quits business and starts his own private security firm with Daniel running IT and quickly gets employed by Newman, Jabot, and as well as Tucker for his mysterious company. 

Nate quits business to return to medicine in a general practice with Elena in charge and invites Sharon to get involved as they need a therapist. 

Devon and Abby launch a new musical/nightclub venue in a join venture with Tessa and Mariah.

Fen returns and reveals to Michael and Lauren that he’s broken up with Trey after Trey cheated on him with Noah Newman. There’s an uproar, but Audra, Mariah, and Ally all confirm Noah’s sexuality. In the meantime Tucker meets with boss of the the mysterious company he’s collaborating with it. It turns out the boss is a Trey Prentiss and Trey plans for Prentiss Industries to rule Genoa City once more. 

That all sound so amazing!!  

Would Trey Prentiss and Fens Trey be one of the same?? I’d like the idea of him being Brooks Prentiss son! Gotta cast Brooks though too! Bryan Dattillo is off contract at Days right?

It was just posted ... looks like only 3 episodes. I suppose they are saving Sheila *ghost* appearances for May sweeps! lol

Yeah I posted counts and doubled checked and came up with 3!  one day was her as a “corpse” and the other two were her as hallucinations.

Hey, quick question, does anyone know the exact number for how many times Sheila appeared in March? It’s tricky to count because of the some of the appearances being just “haunting” Finn or appearances in the Morgue? 

28 minutes ago, soapfan770 said:

The mega reveal of Cole revealing he isn’t sure whatever happened to his Aunt Molly who was Eve & Jordan’s older half sister!

Or that Molly was also Victors old secretary back in the day and they had a fling which resulted in Victor having an illegitimate first born daughter who just happens to be Sheila!!!

15 minutes ago, soapfan770 said:

At this point I actually wish Sheila would pop up again on Y&R at least to tie up the loose ends…imagine Sheila and Lucy visiting in secret behind everyone’s backs?

But that’s too much drama to Thudley II to write

I’ll say it! Have Sheila hide out in GC, she can help Jordan conspire against the Newman’s….be more exciting then now. lol 

and sure let Lucy meet he and bond with her real maternal  grandmother….maybe Sheila can try to kill Phyllis while she’s at it.

2 hours ago, Soapsuds said:

It made zero sense Steffy calling Hope a slut. Steffy is very cold hearted and Thudley is ruining her.

Is Thudley panicking? They have previews now for next weeks show? Are they noticing they are losing viewers?

Thudley doesn’t think he’s ruining her, he’s turning her into Stephanie/SF so in his books that’s a win

i was so hoping Brooke would have snuck up behind Steffy when she grabbed Hopes arm and did a surprise slap in the face! I’d love that!! 
 

I don’t mean to also bring the actors into this, but I wish someone would remind JMW her character isn’t this great moral person….i know they are just reading the dialogue,  but from stuff she has in interviews I think she enjoys playing Steffy like this a little too much. 

Again they have Lauren crossover to B&B to celebrate another “premature” death of Sheila’s…without those two Even crossing paths…

15 minutes ago, BoldRestless said:

I'd like to see her go to therapy to understand how her conception and her mother's past have made her romanticize the idea of taking a walk on the wild side, and realize that giving into her lust for an abuser was dangerous, and that what she and Thomas have is codependency, not love. I'd like to see her obtain full custody of both children and sue Forrester for creating a hostile work environment and take a big piece of the company, similar to Brooke's Belief lawsuit.

Yes to all of this!!!! 
 

it’s really sad how Thudley would never take any form of therapy seriously as Hope isn’t the only one who needs it. Imagine if Brooke, Taylor and Steffy were actually on a mission to seek help for all the abused they endured at the hands of Ridge/Liam, and they actually all bonded together to kick those creeps to the curb! 

45 minutes ago, soapfan770 said:

Okay, so I caught a few mins of B&B today after boycotting the past couple weeks, only to get to the line that Douglas told Hope that dead. “Dad was good enough for her,” when talking about Caroline.

How soon Thudley forgets about the rape and the fake dying story.

Also Thudley needs to see a therapist. 

Such an offensive line and a new low for Thudley.....GET HIM OUTTA THERE!!!! 

1 hour ago, I Am A Swede said:

She never will be. Susan was in a different league.

And frankly, if the writing wasn't so lopsided Brooke would eat Steffy alive. She went toe to toe with Stephanie for years, and Steffy is not her grandmother.

Yes, whether people want to agree or not, Brooke is now the matriarch of the show, and she shouldn’t allow herself to be torn up by Steffy all the time. She really should be her own  “Stephanie” to Steffys “Brooke” and not the other way around.
