Yay Mishael

Josh Griffith the only guy there with a mask lol

Mark Grossman

Lauren better be mad they waited 5 years to tell her.

I hope it isn't just Lauren going to L.A. Sheila and Diane in the same town sounds fun.

Woah 5 years?? You don't hear those kinds of things anymore. Congrats. (I'm waiting to see if Mark Grossman and Mishael stay.)

A major shock would be a network or streaming service announced a new daily soap opera sponsored by a single consumer manufacturing conglomerate like P&G.

It may be a pipe dream, but everything old is new again...

I'm a bit surprised that Netflix etc haven't tried a daily serial. Just drop 5 episodes every Monday. I think it would do well.

Same it’s a shame they haven’t fleshed out the Benedict family more…I mean have we even seen Naya’s husband/Imani’s dad? I really don’t remember now except maybe once..?

We only know that his name is Eric

6-23: 

Again Diane, Summer, and Imani were the driving force for the show today. 

I loved the pivotal moment when Imani overheard Elena talking on the phone about going to be gone for a week as the wheels clearly were spinning in Imani’s head.

Allison Lanier as Summer has been such a breath of fresh air and I like the more mature edgier take she has as Summer. It’s interesting to see Lanier hold her own against Stafford. Just as Summer was unamused and unimpressed with Phyllis, I get the feeling Lanier is completely unphased by Stafford’s ramping up her acting tics. It really does make it look like Phyllis is the batshit crazy one here.

Phyllis and Michael scenes were hilarious though. 
 

I don’t think either Get it On or Hot Enough For You were bad campaigns overall, just maybe a couple had a few cringeworthy moments that got overblown looking back.

Hot Enough For You I think was fairly successful as it also came at a time when Y&R, B&B, and ATWT were on a creative and ratings upswing as the three rounded out the top 3 soaps in the Nielsen ratings that summer. Other than the lousy GL performance I was neutral on the song. I don’t think the singer ever enjoyed the same success his sister got though. 

I wish we got to see Ptosha more. But, I do like the plot point of a stroke to get Amanda out of town.

Morgan Fairchild joins GH as Haven de Havilland, hostess of Home and Heart.

SOD says both Lamon Archey and Sal Stowers opted out.

Next week SOD: Imani plots to keep Elena at bay. Nate wants Elena to join Chancellor Winters to do a medical podcast and Imani is not happy. He asks Imani to extricate Elena from her Newman media contract while Elena is away. Josh says given who Imani is she would be a fool to not try something while Elenas away.

Victoria's company is called Destiny media. She tells Ashland she desposited 250 million and needs him to do the same. This also the amount he has left from Victors pay off. Josh doesn't say why but this is very significant. )The Article even said Griffith winked when saying this, LOL) She acts all smiley and happy until he leaves and her smile fades.  Josh says she's on a misson and has a specific game plan.

We don’t hear much about her, but Y&R won the casting Emmy last week and the casting director (Nancy Nayor) posted some pics on Instagram.

How long has she been on Y&R?

Ordway has covid too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfKdVvbvFKt/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Has Michael been a P.I. on this before? Or just Paul.

I still want to know why Li’s car just randomly caught on fire yet Sheila’s car was undamaged.

I have really liked this meager party. It was nice to see Nate override Devon. The potential for a rivalry has been there since this latest recast. And I loved the flashback since I was just stopping regularly viewing when the Nate/Elena affair happened. I wish Olivia would show up and gain this some traction. 

 

And we know I'm loving some Imani. Yesssss, she's slowly and surely making her move. I think they are all going to underestimate her. So watch out.

 

 

I really liked the party too. I wish the announcment was something bigger than PODCASTS!!!. But I guess the point was Nate taking charge. I like them making him sorta power hungry. 

Just sucks that this should have happened in 2020 when the cheating came out not two years later.
Same with Imani, she's great but she started flirting with Nate last year lol

I would liked to see 2002 YR. some people in the older threads here that I've been reading say that this period Ig MS Phyllis was written the most mature?

Last time billy and Chelsea were together.

Next week on YR: https://youtu.be/nSK7STqHw2k

I don't want to see rapist/victim relationships. Not ever.

They had Chelsea connecting with Nick this week, too, chatting at the park.  It seems they are trying to throw Chelsea at whomever to see what will stick.    Sigh.

I don't want her with either Billy or Nick but ... 
Never Billy.   She raped him.  I won't forget that.

And cheated on him with Adam/Gabe. Maybe Josh is trying to do that triangle again?  And CK posted this on her instagram story, looks like MCE and Jason are filming together.

They are doing Chelsea and Billy again.

Billy telling Chelsea how he forgot how much she knows him and smiling. In the next week preview.

I am glad Summer despite her doubts kept her cool and her perseverance for peace though. Amazing how new Summer actually comes off as more mature, classy and sophisticated compared to Nikki and Lauren. 
 

 

Big props to the casting director. This women just fits right in as Summer.

Even the redux promos are cheap!  The 80s promo was so much better.

Also don't understand doing this for the game/talk shows. What heat am I feeling? watching people spin a big wheel or 5 people talking.

I wish the show would just splurge a little money and bring back or make a new lab set. I don't want to hear about these offscreen tours.
