We have learned that Y&R credits can't be trusted. Unless she got the Kate Linder contract deal.

I understand what they're doing for Kate and Christian Leblanc and Doug Davidson before he called it out since they were on the show for decades..

If they dropped brytni I see no reason why they would protect her, she came on in 2019. 

I guess her minimums could just be [!@#$%^&*] now or something.

No JT was revealed alive along the following year in 2019  but he was committed to a psychiatric institution following a brain tumor removal or something. JT was seen earlier this year when Elena contacted him via face time when Elena and Audra schemed to bring back JT to break up Nate and Victoria, but the whole plot was quickly dropped and nothing else happened. Is Elena even on this show anymore? 

Yes, still on contract according to the credits. Hasn't been on much at all since breaking up with Nate though

Didn't Victoria kill him? I haven't been watching lately.

I think the last we saw Thad was Nick as him in a mask.

When Mal Young left and Griffith came on it was revealed he was alive and had a brain tumor. He went to prison.  He made a cameo in the spring when it was revealed Nate and Victoria were having an affair and Elena found out he was released and was trying to get him to come back to get with Victoria.

Which would be fine, I guess, if Thad Luckinbill still were on the show.  Maybe he's planning to make a surprise cameo?

I think they were going to do more with him in the spring but he got that show.

Very curious if Kyle and Diane’s plan works or not. I feel like Tucker and Audra are too smart to let Kyle deceive them for too long.

I don't think this will end well at all, Diane's lying to Jack.

I rolled my eyes. Why did they even bother?

I had to laugh that they’re not even bothering to bring Allie back for Abbott Thanksgiving. They gave Jack a granddaughter literally just to usher her offscreen.

Very curious if Kyle and Diane’s plan works or not. I feel like Tucker and Audra are too smart to let Kyle deceive them for too long.

I think at the time because They just hired and rehired Michael graziadei and Trevor St John. Someone had to go to pay for them.

I'm curious to see what Jordan's deal is. Looks like she kidnapped a baby and now has tortured Nikki and plans to kill all the Newman's besides Adam with poison.

Christian Leblanc posted a pic of Colleen and Hayley infront of a prison waiting room set.

The pacing of the show is just all wrong. It manages to be too rushed and too slow all at the same time. 

Yes, some stuff like Nick and Sally goes on for almost a year but the others, finishes up within a few weeks to a month. Wonder why.

Fixed!!

Earlier this year, there were about 5 different promo videos, and a ton of articles, hyping Shemar Moore's visit as Malcolm.
He appeared for 10 minutes in one episode.
The more they hype this storyline with multiple interviews with Colleen Zenk, Hayley Erin, and J.Eddie Peck, the more I ... suspect it will be a quick rush and then die.

I know Colleen said she'd been taping for 5 1/2 weeks so far,  so it will last a while, but so maybe it will be like the Cameron Kirsten thing? Intense and then done?

Cameron was sort of different because that short stint was all Linden had time for.

I just like seeing Colleen Zenk saying she wants to kill people 

I've seen people thinking this is JT related because Claire had an article about that Mal Young abuse storyline. Also saw people thinking Jordan is Eve with plastic surgery 

3 minutes ago, Soapsuds said:

Yet the boring no story of Tucker goes on and on with no real story in it.

Yeah, true. Some stuff draaags.

8 minutes ago, Soapsuds said:

Delicious!!

But the story is moving at warp speed.

 

 

The pacing Jg does drives me absolutely insane. Anytime there's a secret or something it's out within a month or so.

The cliffhanger with Cole isn't followed up on. But, in the next week preview it shows Jordan standing infront of the Newman's telling them she poisoned their drinks and is looking forward to watching them all die in front of her.

Cybercrime, cyber espionage is a huge deal and could be a part of private investigations/security. You have forensic pathologists who exclusively work in investigating financial crimes. The problem is in the lack of ability to write these types of stories and kinds of characterizations. There is much that Chance could do as a PI, a number of whom are gainfully employed in big cities, particularly in drug and domestic crimes but Y&R has not demonstrated any capability to write these types of stories. Look at the mess they made on the human trafficking story they tried to do years ago.

I completely forgot about that sex ring under the guise of a dating app.

Lmaoooo just like that.

As I said about the murder on DAYS, soaps have to incorporate technology that has become ubiquitous in modern life.  It is silly that Víctor doesn't have Ring cameras on the ranch.  Adam should use Apple tags, and Kyle should have smart home resources.  It could be cinematic to see web footage of Niki getting in her car before the kidnapping. 

At least they had Clair texting, because the amount of time soap characters spend talking on the phone is remarkable.

Tomorrow's episode they have Tucker using speech to text.

I like the way the shows handling its recurring cast, Mamie, Heather, Danny, Christine, Nina. Don't have contracts but they all seem to have some focus.

Abby is another boring character.

She doesn't do anthring and is irrelevant. Pretty sure she still has zero clue her dad just faked dementia

The Thanksgiving family photos look good. Much much better to have a traditional holiday episode rather than that asinine idiotic Gloria and Phyllis fantasy episode the show did two years ago. 
 

I agree the zero follow-up to Friday’s big cliffhanger was very strange, especially given how much attention it is getting at the moment. Probably the biggest news on Y&R since SW returned last year.

I still think the best route for Chance is to start his own high end PI business. 

 I'm okay with him going to business for now just because there's like one crime a year on this show. Maybe he'll be like Nate and this will be good for him.

But, your idea sounds better. A PI would be good to have around, like, instead of Audra having to Google Claire she can have chance investigate her. Or Phyllis could have gone to chance during the summer when she and Tucker were fighting and he could have found out about that statutory rape cover up.

I'm happy Zende and Paris are being used again.

The MS is mentioned. Claire makes up this story that Nikki had a seizure and she said Nikkis arms were flailing about and the Newman's were talking about her MS.

Abbotts and Baldwins/Fishers.

Old article about Brenda's return as Jill.

In a zoom with fans recently Marcus Coloma referenced that he was asked to read for a new role on one of the soaps. He decided he didn't want to audition for daytime again at the moment.

Wonder which show.
