Because he was mentioned, congrats to Michael B. Jordan on his fist Oscar nomination and for Sinners being the most nominated film of the year. He’s gotten far, mainly being Ryan Coogler’s muse, but on his own merits as well.

Michael B. Jordan just starred in one of last year's biggest box office hits, and is a likely candidate for an Oscar nomination this year. He's not going to do Lifetime anytime soon, lol.

Aw, may be RIP. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the OG Slaters as well. Derek wasn’t the greatest actor, but he was always present and had great chemistry with actors who made up his on-screen family. The early Slater years were lightening in a bottle, the likes of which we have rarely ever seen with newly introduced characters and families since.

That’s nice. MVJ was one of the very few scriptwriters that Geary respected. She wrote the rape confession monologue that Luke had with Lucky and it was one of the rare times that Geary didn’t change a word and acted out what was on the page.

This is sad, and I will choose to remember Geary for the electrifying performer he could be instead of what he purposely turned Luke into in his latter years on the show. That said, and I know he was getting older, but he did often look quite frail whenever I saw recent pics of him with his husband. Whatever it was, I hope he went peacefully. May he RIP.

This show is garbage, but Lucas Adams is doing well as Noah and feels believable as Sharon and Nick’s son. Griffith will probably sideline him soon enough, but I always thought DAYS never knew how to use him and hope this works out for him.

Accidentally posted in this thread, but meant for the Directors and Writers thread, lol

Jill is in the booth, supervising feedback for the overall production. In the ‘Thriller’ Halloween dance video that Courtney Hope and Melissa Claire Egan originally posted on IG, they quickly took a look at the producer’s booth where Jill was in (with longer than usual hair) with someone else. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQUVQl7iXMY/?igsh=MTAyaGI4N3F6c2R3eA==

Hell, soaps need to get back to characters before any of this.

Emma and Gio are pretty together. That’s all I got.

Tracy is not wrong for wanting Ronnie thrown out after what transpired. Regardless of how Tracy treated her from the onset; Ronnie was close to letting that entire family be thrown out on their asses just 5 mins ago. It’s just lazy writing to have everyone turn on her and act like she’s the villain for feeling this way. Ronnie is a nothing character and a total waste of Slezak’s talent (it was never going to be different sadly). This generic creation could have been played by anyone with the same effect, but as @Vee pointed out, it seems obvious that Frank and probably Van Etten don’t want people turning against a character played by Slezak and Tracy has to be sacrificed for it.

It’s nice to see ES again, but this Ronnie character in the end has felt like it could have been played by any regular older actress. It would have been more interesting if she was a true piece of vile work that was willingly colluding with Martin and Drew to screw with the Q’s (maybe she shared a past with Alan or Tracy), instead of this mousy older women who was forcibly blackmailed by Martin.

A personal favourite:

I wonder if Case had some surgery (cosmetic or otherwise) or had some health issues when these scenes were filmed. In the latest BTS video on the Y&R YouTube channel around the upcoming Daytime Emmy’s, she looks less puffy and sounds more normal.

Heather was definitely a standout director and one of the best to ever grace daytime and especially Y&R. RIP.

Honestly, I do think she could creatively benefit from taking longer gaps between albums and not just putting out things rather quickly just because she can. She’s almost 2 decades into her career, her core audience isn’t going to suddenly abandon her if she takes a few good years between albums. Maybe with the impending wedding, she’s going to concentrate more on her personal life and it will be a longer wait for the next album. Maybe her divorce album is next (but likely her “motherhood” era before that, lol). 😛

I wonder if he has any relation to George Cheeks.

Jane Elliott is masterful today.
