Tracy should just start a new family household with ... Dillon, Gio, Lulu and her kids, hell bring in Willow with Michael's kids. Jason and Britt! Good for her and I hope she doesn't back down. (Do Trina and Joss still live in the garage, lol). Jordan's wtf reaction after Portia's visit was perfect. I was feeling the same.

Monday was great. I was actually in suspense once the dog grabbed the papers. This should be Jane's reel... she got to show off every facet of Tracy. I loved the nod between her and Michael, kind of felt like that should have been Jason though. I was rooting for Gio to run home and embrace the family... I'm sure it's coming soon. I like where they settled on Ronnie... so she actually is the sister, and was being lowkey threatened but it was ultimately her choice to do it, so she's a grey character. Looking forward to more of Emma and Britt. Braedyn steps into the relationships so naturally, as if she's the one who played the original. They should just show old clips with the child actress, it would be more fun than having them reference stuff like the doll.

Ohh duh

This kind of data is so cool. I'm curious why 60 and not 50.

Oh that sounds dreadful!

Old school soap press at its finest.

I haven't crunched the numbers but they were both frat boy rapists in the 90s, Howarth's was actually a few years earlier, so it seems to work.

I'm waiting for Michael Easton as David Kimball, teaming up with Phyllis on a new start up to terrorize Christine.

LOL well there you go.

Jabot needs @ChickenNuggetz92 to provide some tech support and create a Jabot Vault. 🤣

Yeah lol this is the perfect example of writing to the actor's strength, he did that big dumb look perfectly, that was right up his alley.

This was a scene I watched unspoiled and was truly blown away. The show was still so solid then.

That's frightening. The one about Aunt Jordan is basically paraphrasing one of his interviews. Oh, and he also got all excited when he learned Ashley used to be crazy in the 80s so wrote the DID story for her (totally different from the mental health problems she had). That culminated in another fake remote in France.

The way JG writes is basically: JG sees some old movie and decides he wants to do a story where Nikki is kidnapped. He asks the Y&R historian what villains would have a grudge against Nikki and is told Eve Howard. He's down for it until he's told Eve is dead... no problem, he'll give her a sister, how about Colleen Zenk? And then when he hears Victoria was married to Eve's son and they had a DEAD BABY, he's like, jackpot... A decision is made to hire Trevor St. John. He wants to make him some kind of sarcastic business tycoon with strong ties to the canvas, so they choose to make him Tucker McCall, despite the totally wrong age and vibe. A decision is made to hire Billy Flynn. He decides he'll be a Gatsby type character with a great love and he's become a crypto bro to win her back and also something with AI would be good because business. So he asks around what male characters are there who used to be on the show whose love interest is still on canvas, and they decide it will be Cane trying to win Lily back, and then try to figure out a static set where everyone can convene (contract cast only with the recurring characters taking a late train in). A decision is made to hire Roger Howarth and JG decides he will be part of a noir storyline (whatever that means). He has to be a villain and it has to be big. It would be great if it somehow involved rape. So someone reads wikipedia and explains to him there was this guy Matt Clark who raped Sharon, actually tried to rape her a bunch of times, and then died... ok, perfect! We'll bring Noah back and have this big splashy car accident but to make it more mysterious, we won't show it, and then we'll have him all bandaged, and Sharon can read him books and stuff (more literary references to show how smart he is), and we can have Claire randomly in LA to meet up with Nick and Sharon, and Holden will randomly know these people... we'll add another soap actress to show how big this is...

I'm not hating that lmao.

And you know what they didn't do? Run around proclaiming it was "noir," lol.

LMAO that's legit dumb.

Does JG understand that there can be more than one copy of a program, and when you "give" someone the program, it doesn't mean you no longer have it and the other person can destroy it?

I'm watching classic eps from 1991 where they are in their adorable newlywed phase, so I love that they're back together.

@DRW50 that's cute. Those production values are where Y&R is heading! On topic, I watched the Tim Burton Dark Shadows movie to get in the Halloween mood and it was just terrible!

Cool, I have literally been waiting for someone to make this!

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.
