Even Esther dissed her the other day!

Its great how they set our expectations so low that we get excited about staring at a different background for a month while they sit and talk about nothing!

And... it looks better. They made it look much larger than the corner they use when it's in GC. They must have set it up with the intention to use it for a while.

Nevermind, someone beat me to posting the link. I actually wonder if the new sets are the ones we saw already, the bar and the hospital, which is much better than the GC hospital.

Live now! I NEVER watch these things live.

I accidentally got spoiled as to the person who showed up at the end of today's episode and I was really hoping he would turn out to be Esther's date, haha.

I think it must have been easier for JG to ask the "Y&R historian" because those clips were pulled a year or two ago for LLB's anniversary episode. They had the clip where Danny and Cricket meet, so they knew it happened in Jack's office. They have no storyline, putting them in the company of... everyone else. With the nonsense that goes on at the Emmys, it would be quite funny if Michael Damian, Lauralee Bell, Christian Le Blanc, Tracey Bergman, Beth Maitland, etc could submit themselves as "guest stars" and get nominated. CLB could probably win if they would give him maybe one worthwhile scene. Which they won't.

What a random ep... the only male that would definitely be at Danny's bachelor party is Daniel so of course he wasn't there. I guess they had to fullfill the contract guarantees of Jack, Diane, Nate, Victoria, and Devon. Surprised they sprung for a day's pay for Melissa Ordway for this, considering she has nothing to do with Christine. This must be the transition to most of the "action" (jk) taking place in LA and then whatever remaining characters are leftover in GC will randomly be thrown together. It's really really cringe when they have the characters walk in and announce "boy, this place is sparse!" "This sure is INTIMATE, huh?" It's bad enough that they have no extras, actually putting the rationalization into the writing is just terrible. Nice touch with Nate speaking to the offscreen "manager" about the blown fuse, lmao. @yrfan1983 would appreciate the attempts to try to explain the random characters' connection to Danny and Cricket. They mentioned that Jack introduced them at the Jabot offices, and that Danny used to be friendly with Amy and how Nate's father used to help Danny with his music. I was surprised since that's relatively accurate.

I'm getting a blank screen, I think it's just offline right now.

I don't like how FV reads off his phone. But hey, he actually produces a watachable show.

Yeah, that scene in isolation didn't come off well, but she's outstanding on the regular. The acting awards were on point. I would have preferred Dom to win but I don't know Telfer's work and you all seem to think he does a good job.

Laura Wright you're not an EP, relax.

Deserved win for NLG. Emma and Gio sitting together so cute.

It's a multi year recurring role, not a guest role. Need to tighten up the rules.

Didn't know all this stuff about Deborah Norville. I'm impressed .

Only thing I understood was arigato. Aw she's adorable.

Luna wins!

Stafford looks incredible.

Best lighting nomination for a CGÌ fire? 😅

Get it Kate with your feather duster!

I started late so I could fast forward, unfortunately for me I am now caught up to live. 😅 Very happy Susan Walters won with her more understated style!

I legit already see chemistry with Eva in the promo.

Thanks for that analysis.

As someone who didn't care for the twist, these comments are fair. It was smart of the writers to leave it open ended in a way that gave us a certain impression but without nailing themselves to specific facts and ages that would contradict this twist. I'm still not sold on this concept of keeping everything a secret from the audience and then having everyone find out at once. We've seen it with Leslie's parentage, Martin's secret, and Hayley's secret. I prefer the old school style where the audience is in on it like Eva's parentage. Or a mix. It's clearly a deliberate choice by the writers, which I respect. I think they want to usher in a new style so the newer viewers don't get bored, but some of them are assuming the writers are making it up randomly, which isn't the case. After the first year hopefully they settle into a rhythm of dropping more hints without making it feel like an abrupt change.

I love your sig line. 😅
