Cruising Soaps

Happy 37th B&B!

I want to bet the person Sheila has been seeing from her past is her sister Sarah Smythe.  She got her to look like Sheila and was the one who actually got killed and not Sheila. lol 

Is it me or is the fireplace mantal at the Newman ranch the same as the one in GCAC hotel rooms?

The other moment of nostalgia I surprisingly had was the Phyllis/Danny/Christine scenes today. As hokey as it is it actually felt real Y&R again and I liked the scenes of Daniel, Michael, and Lauren as well. 

Me too!  I was involved, hooked, and paying attention.  Old Phyllis is back.  She knew exactly what to do with Danny.  She kissed him and told him how good it could be with her.  Boom the reason Danny cheated and Cricket in the first place!  Don't forget Danny kissed back! 

The thing is this and why I like it... MS is playing Old Classic Phyllis.  You can see how much she is enjoying this material.  Her acting is better with LLB and MD on the screen.  I think she gets board with the Jack/Nick crap that went on forever.  

I like this story so much!

It kinda looks like Victoria's house.  The back area in Victoria's living room was a glass door. 

This has to be one of the best kept secrets in a long time for casting spoilers!  And it's a home run!

This has got to be the longest day ever in Genoa City.  

The thing is Liam getting advice from Ridge is perfect.  I mean Ridge has spent his whole life dangling between at first Caroline and Brooke.  Then Brooke and Taylor forever.  Liam has been going through Hope and Steffy forever.  Ridge and Liam were made for each other! lol

Business stories don't bug me, i would just like a break from the job switch business stories. I'm rewatching 03 and it would he great for a tuvia/safra story again. 

 

Was MAB the last writer to attempt that? Her regime was focused on that Beauty of Nature stuff from what I recall.

See those business stories I like.  But the constant job titles and crap is boring.

Ironically I would say that it's the opposite with Y&R's sister show B&B. That show needs to stop with incessant love triangles and partner swappings and tell some business stories again...

I can agree with that statement.  At least there is some new blood with Luna, but Heather Tom is being wasted on that show right now.

I always liked them.  

Some things that they show is doing right

• Nina and Chance- instant chemistry.  Their scenes today got to me. 
• Phyllis/Danny/Cricket- I am enjoying this.  Phyllis is starting to get back to her original self before Jack.  Even her outfits are a little out there.
• Phyllis and Summer at least today.  Phyllis talks about how Nick is Sharon's true love.  I love the history.  It is nice when the show uses it.  I loved how Summer was daydreaming about Chance with Sharon.  She is truly her mother's daughter.
• Tucker and Ashley- I really can't wait to see more.  I love how Audra is involved in it too.  She is a great addition to the cast.

Some things that they are doing wrong

• Too many Business storylines
  • How many CEO/COOs and executive changes could there be?
• Too much Newmans
  • Let's give a rest
• Not enough Abbotts
  • I need more of Jack and Ashley fighting for Jabot
  • Less Kyle and Billy fighting
• Lily and Daniel
  • At first they were cute, now they are just boring
  • I do like that Heather is back.  But without Paul what is the point?  Not that I think Paul is needed.
• More Baldwins

zzzz zzzz zzzz again

I love the Phyllis and Danny scenes.  You can tell how much MS loves working with MD.  They have some chemistry.  The way that MS looks at MD and you can tell that she is really enjoying it. 

ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ

The worst storyline currently, and this is what they advertise?  No Danny No Mamie?

That last clip reminds me of when we actually had young people on the show with storylines...

I wasn't expecting to read this first thing in the morning.  He was the best Billy.  He was Ameliea's only love interest she had chemistry with.

RIP!

I grew up watching the CBS line so they were always there.  But for me Y&R really got me when Lauren was buried alive, then Who Shot Jill.

B&B- I watched since Day 1

ATWT- This would have to be Iva being Lily's mother.  The pitch fork scene lives in my brain.

GL- I didn't get into GL until I was in High School.  It was the Brent/Marian storyline that got me.  Then of course the great Annie Dutton stuff.

So, I'm watching 1995 now, and it seems to me like this year, Brad was borrowing from Days of Our Lives. James being held captive in the dungeon is giving me Maison Blanche vibes.

Don't forget his father had Brad locked in a cage back in the 80s.

The problem with Audra was that she was to cause problems for Noah and Allie.  Then JG shipped them off to Europe.  The real story behind how Noah and Audra met, the miscarriage, and the breakup wasn't really fully flushed out.  

maybe it's time for Oliver to comeback.

Y&R

Jack to Victor- After Jack throws his chair out the window-  Here have a seat on me!

Victor- You Got That?
