Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread
Is it wrong I low key don't even really care that Chance is dead? A character who runs a mute police force, hangs out at the coffee house, lives in an offscreen apartment, has an offscreen relationship with his family (Zoom calls to Australia and LA! Visitation with Dom!), and a couple of random relationships? Nice touch having Abby learn offscreen, why pay her for the day? I remember when Chance gave the eulogy at Ray's offscreen funeral! It would almost be better to bring back the John Driscoll version in a few years and just pretend the last couple of years never happened.

ALL: "Soapy" Podcast hosted by Rebecca Budig & Greg Rikaart
I would love something like this for the soaps and CBS could actually do it since they have the rights to the old clips.

ALL: "Soapy" Podcast hosted by Rebecca Budig & Greg Rikaart
Yes, this podcast is heavily advertised on CBS during actual commercials. I think I even saw it advertised in primetime during Big Brother. It's definitely a corporate produced talk show/podcast. Nothing wrong with that but it's just different than a more independent podcast.

Legit, when did Cole die, July 3? Almost three weeks later Nikki and Victor are discussing how last they heard, he was doing fine lol.

Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread
I feel like Y&R is defaming that house by using that image to represent whatever that set is. Thank you for your research @janea4old on point as always.

ARTICLE: Ron Carlivati OUT At ‘Beyond The Gates,’ Plus More Writing Changes At Daytime Drama Series
I feel like Josh is already a low rent version of Ron. Stuff like Aunt Jordan, Martin/Alan, and whatever this is with Cane are in Ron's wheelhouse but on a low budget. Ron might have more in jokes and references though.

Reason for Downtime
This, OMG what a loss that would have been! I was definitely getting the vibe this was serious since it lasted so long.

Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread
I should have posted here not in spoilers: Thinking about it more, it is so vintage JG. Retcon storyline drawing on "history" by creating a totally new character from a classic one, but also not having her interact with anyone she knew in the past (just the offscreen lunch with Traci!). Create what seems like an intriguing drama (a man who is estranged and won't even speak to his own mother when he learns she's dying!) but then have it turn out to be nothing (he was upset she was working all the time while his father was dying and she explained she was doing it because they needed insurance, all is forgiven easily). Include a convoluted, pointless subplot where he randomly gets another guy to pose as him, with some random "business" stuff thrown in. Something about random job offers from random companies with no offices. The main actor turns out to be good and has potential storylines with his new brother and chemistry with Lily, setting up a love triangle with the new pet character/flavor of the month. Decide to kill him off instead, leaving us with the elderly retcon mother character who was only brought on to introduce the son.

Who says they have to go jail?Just have Michael run in all sweaty from getting lost in the maze and say the French judge dropped all the charges offscreen, per usual. Christian Le Blanc can even say it in French!

GH: HUGE CASTING NEWS!
Not having watched OLTL I would prefer it to be a new character. Doesn't have to be a relative. Could be a society frenemy of Tracy and then if Slezak wants to stay, they can build around her.

Y&R: July 2025 Spoilers
Wow, that's dumb, he was a very good actor and a find. What was the point of all that history revision just to kill him off? Geez. I guess that explains why he was in a bad mood on social media lately.

That's interesting! It's actually a Brock and Jill scene that gets used in the end, from when they got married, I think.

It's weird like that. I mostly think it's all crap and political, but I can't help be happy for someone I feel deserves it, even though that lends some credibility to the system.

I can see MCE putting together a good reel from the OCD story and her breakup with Billy. Terrible storyline but her acting was good. I prefer more subtle acting.
