I literally watch Y&R every day without fast forwarding and assumed this was a made up character that had never been shown before, lol. Very memorable character, clearly.

This makes much more sense than anything happening onscreen.

She was heavily medicated and couldn't remember her lines.

That's depressing. She was so brilliant in the role.

I have long given up on assuming the ratings have anything at all to do with what we see on screen.

I'm behind but enjoyed her calling Derek Smokey the Bear and Stop Drop and Roll. 😅

Maurice's birthday interview with Dominick Zamprogna and Lisa Lo Cicero. There's lots of cameo vids from the cast wishing him a happy birthday. First set: Jonathan Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Sidwell (Carlo Rota and Nazneen Contractor) Genie and Jonathan Frakes, Carolyn Hennesy End set: Dominick Zamprogna, Finola Hughes, Kin Shriner, Scarlett Spears (Donna), Laura Wright (from Paris), Bryan Craig (from the DMV parking lot!), Eden McCoy, Evan Hofer, After 1:11 I'm not sure... behind the scenes people? Hoping someone can identify. I think one of them is Michael Sutton! He looks totally different. Steve Burton at the end obviously.

That's too good!

Dom looks to be a great interviewer!

Willow trying not to let Sidwell get a word in edgewise and Sidwell's glee at showing Drew the livestream cracked me up.

I really liked these scenes too. Hope it means a real story for him.

Nikki is so earnest there. She goes from being joyful over her new job to realizing Casey knows and then fiercely defending herself to then pleading for acceptance. Really good range from MTS. A story like this could easily play today but would be considered too edgy.

What an accomplishment! The best thing is the characters. I feel as attached to most of them as the ones on the longtime soaps. I'd like to see the pacing improve. Some stories felt rushed while others drag on. Nothing feels really high stakes, but yet the day to day dialogue and interactions are engaging.

Of course, on this show the person always says they feel sorry and the judge lets them go. Really gripping stuff. Such big stakes for all these kidnappings where the person is always returned unharmed and the perpetrator doesn't go to jail. Really moves story forward. Great tension as we watch them sit in some dirty room wondering if they'll be rescued.

Shemar keeping it very real!
