Ed Scott has already brought this Board to life! I mean five pages of discussion on the second day of this month's episodes... Wow! Can't wait to see where this takes us. Hopefully, some more old school Y&R. Love the new "old" Newman Ranch set so much. Please work some magic on the Chancellor Estate set.

I'll give JG credit for dumping the Grand Phoenix and bringing us the return of the GCAC back in 2023. Now, this Newman Ranch set... Wow! Just wow! Its new, but so very reminiscent and comforting like the original that JFP wrongfully struck down in place for her bland and generic IKEA-version set. I hope, especially with Ed Scott's return, we can get the Chancellor Mansion set revamped and some much needed office sets for all of our C-Suite characters -- maybe even the return of the Top of the Tower set as another fine dining restaurant.

Is that a new Newman ranch set?!?! It certainly looks like a merger of the original set and the one Mal Young created.

This makes absolutely no sense. Their relationship was seemingly dropped. Chance was a b-character in the Nick/Sharon/Cameron storyline. Chance and Summer appeared to be on their way to being a counter puncture to Kyle and Audra. I was really looking forward to a Shick reunion. Instead, more of Nick and Sally. Ugh!

Just my random thoughts, in general... - The return of the GCAC suites and dinning room/lobby help make the show look old-school Y&R. I love it! - The GCAC lounge is one of the best sets constructed in the last decade. - Looking forward to the Newman cottage set returning for Sharon and Nick's story line. - The Abbott mansion and Victor's office are timeless. - The apparent end of the Grand Phoenix's reign supreme is well over due. - Jack and Diane are everything. - Ashley and Tucker are everything. - The Abbott siblings fighting over their significant others while bottle-up in the same house is classic soap. - JG has his faults, but by weaving ED into a story on the forefront should award him some accolades. - TSJ's version of Tucker is perfect. The deflated power-player who doesn't give a damn is so much fun. - Traci being out of town is a waste of BM's talent and the potentially entertaining scenes of her playing peacekeeper in the Abbott mansion. - Billy should be living at the Abbott house adding to the family drama. - Billy and Chelsea add nothing to the show. MCE is a fine actor, but Chelsea is dead weight. - Noah and Allie being back-burned to the point that they are only mentioned, not seen, is a travesty. - Phyllis's "death" was poorly executed. Also, the repair that is needed for Phyllis to be redeemed is immense. - Summer went from being a strong, independent woman of morality to a poor hypocritical joke due to the "death" of Phyllis story-line. - Dark Nate is entertaining. - Audra is fantastic as a pot stirrer. Yet, she needs a real romantic interest. - Victoria's sudden attraction to Nate seemed to come out of nowhere. - Poor Elena needs to get revenge. - Adam/Sally/Nick = BORING - Why isn't Sally played as a young Jill Foster-type? - Adam and Sally = Perfection! - Sharon pouring drinks and being a talk-to is such a waste of SC's talents. - Sharon and Chance = No thank you. - Sharon and Nick getting back together makes soooo much sense. SC and JM have always been at their best when acting opposite of each other, Plus, neither character ever seems to find a new partner that doesn't live in shadow of these soulmates. - Adam going after Newman Media is stupid. - Why is the costume department so bipolar with how they dress Nikki and Victoria. Some days, both woman look amazing (especially MTS), but other days it seems as if they have purposely tried to make them look older and/or disheveled. - Devon and Abby are 100% fast-forward material. - Devon's penthouse is the worst set now that the Grand Phoenix is gone. - Kudos to JG for scrapping the Grand Phoenix sets as executive producer and bringing the classic GCAC sets back. - Why do Adam, Sally, Daniel, Audra, Billy, and Elena, all live at the GCAC. Billy and Adam both could sensibly reside at their family estates. - Where does Chance live? - I need Jill Abbott on my TV! - What happened to the Chancellor Estate? - I love Daniel's return, his re-connection with Lily, and his strong moral character objecting to Summer and Phyllis's dangerous games. - Lauren needs a story-line. Why is she so absent from all-things Jabot as a powerful board member? - Having Michael defend Diane has been nice. Will he defend Phyllis next? Probably. (Eye-roll) - Mariah, Tessa, Chloe, and Kevin = almost forgot you existed. Not missed all that much. - EB is great, but Victor is so predictable with his family games. He is no Logan Roy -- but under the likes of Bill Bell and Kay Alden, he could be today. - Why are the classic music cues gone again? They returned about two-three years ago in limited fashion, but haven't been used in ages. The gala would have been a great time to use them. - Why is Christine so dumb as the DA? - Did Danny leave town without a goodbye? Yep, that sums it all up for me.

I'm fairly certain that is Paul's office set.

Vast improvement to me. I love how the actor's fade from black and white to color. The silhouette of EB/MTS is very fitting. The only complaint I really have is the font used for the actor's names -- it seems bland.

Wow! That's awesome. CR did appear in some westerns prior to joining OLTL, if I'm remembering correctly. He was such an unsung hero of OLTL's success in the 80's and 90's. He and Erika Slezak were great together as the "Lady and her Cowboy." Like other soap greats, Phil Carey and Bev McKinsey, to just name a couple, CR was never nominated for an Emmy. His scenes with ES at the snow resort in Vermont in February 1993 when he found Viki with Sloan were so raw and real. We literally saw Clint break into pieces losing Viki.

Absolutely fantastic work!!! And I agree, Y&R's classic music cues are some of the best throughout daytime history. The only other soap that had such dramatic, moving music cues, in my opinion, was OLTL during Linda Gottlieb's reign in the 90's.
