Awesome Tried it and works well so far!

Thanks @Errol

I must admit I have never really contemplated what makes a good breakdown!

I'm 100% with you. I was really intrigued when Hayley wanted to break Bill's legs at the end of yesterday's show. I felt like she was finally showing cracks and getting interesting. Then this reveal, IDK. They had originally made it seem like she'd been around for years and was a paralegal and it seemed like a sharp one, which you need actual skills to do. I think it had been discussed here, people were wondering at what age did she meet the Duprees, some wondered if she met them as a teen, and the show never technically said how long ago, so they're not contradicting themselves, it's just weird. For me this kind of strips away some of the conflict in the story. I'd been wondering what psychological or emotional issue drove her to fake a pregnancy when she and Bill seemed solid. Her jealousy was driving her mad. I'm definitely all for adding some layers of her being a gold-digger and having a violent streak, but not an outright cartoon villain who gives a 10 minute exposition of her evil plan. Now, what? She's the bad guy, it's not a triangle anymore where we have to see if Dani and Bill's passion overtakes them, now it's just of course we have to root for them because Hayley is trying to kill him. It would be more interesting to have her grey and have the characters be judgmental about her and never quite knowing if they are right or wrong, more like the Eva/Kat dynamic they did so well. Kay had the right instinct about Eva but she went about it in a classist way, and we wanted to root for Eva, but Eva keeps doing things that prove Kat right, yet we still root for her because she's complex and trying.

Sorry to be blunt but Caroline was better off dying than getting stuck in the triangle for 35 years! It was bad enough she left Thorne for rapey Ridge, imagine what character assassination would ensue over the years. Basically Taylor's storyline.

Errol, any idea if the Creative Arts categories will be made throughout the show, or do you think they will all be done during the first portion? And have they said how long the whole ceremony will be? Not sure I'm down to watch a 4+ hour live show or something...

Oh no! I actually got to enjoy this one almost live for once!

Well there goes my theory that Hayley does love Bill, haha. Marquita is struggling a bit with all this exposition, maybe it's not entirely her fault though. It's clunky.

I'm reading Hayley as genuinely in love with Bill and lashing out, not a con artist. He's been gaslighting her by acting like she's being paranoid when he knows he did kiss Dani. Go Hayley.

He wouldn't be able to do his rhythmic thrusts from behind a keyboard. I feel like he might have played piano and sung to Patty in one of the 80s recaps, but not sure about in concert.

1985-2000 definitely was the golden era for Y&R directing.

Works for me!

Everyone else is all... but, but, but, how will this affect STEFFY!

Thanks, I was looking for this thread the other day! Almost time to set up an account for this or whatever it is we have to do.

Is that real?! She looks like Darla!

Usually when the vault is down I can't get to it at all, but now it looks like it's all fine until I get the error "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found." when I try to open or download a clip. @ChickenNuggetz92

New tacky set stuffed with junk. There's not an inch of wall left to breathe.

It's a bummer that Nina won't be able to act as excited about the wedding because she's in mourning for this pointless and forgettable murder scene that had zero stakes.

Oh, I'm sure the offscreen car accident will be described by the characters as having had amazing special effects, if we had seen it. Can't wait for all the declarations from the characters about how and epic and mysterious LA seems.

Would love to see any clips from this era!

OMG, Thank you!!!!

Truth! 😅

It's really just not worth ever giving them credit for anything. I was all "ok, this retcon of Amy is really silly and pointless, and the Dumas stuff and Holden pretending to be Damien is unwatchable, but at least the new actor playing Damien is really good..." and the show is all, nope, don't get attached. Ok. Won't make that mistake again. Not that there is anything to get remotely excited about.
