Darn

That's on the show. They refused to let go of the ghost of Brenda when the one pairing they tried him with after her (Chloe) flopped. Jax could have moved on but they got scared so we got Brenda dupe (Kelly Monaco's agent is thankful) and the rest is history.

Bring on some handsome, captivating man for Brenda to romance until she gets back with Sonny, someone you can easily spin-off to other parts of the canvas after whatever he has with Brenda ends. Do NOT pair her with Easton or Howarth, both of them need to get off this damn show.

I'm not sure, here is the guy (timestamped you lazy bîtch): And their graveyard goodbye.

He left because the mob was after him and Serena for Domonique's money. In the following episodes after the one I posted they both get kidnapped, escape somehow and then Scott and Lucy have a heartfelt goodbye by Dominique's grave. They also finally name the baby, Serena, because it means "serenity" and that's what she brings them.

No, she didn't. She pretty clearly stated that the impression her potential clients would have regarding an actor as their headhunter would be a negative one. She didn't even make it specific to soap actors, just acting in general.

It's crazy because they could have paid an artist (or shît use a fücking photoshop action) a few grand to do sketches of the cast, which wouldn't even need to be updated regularly since the cast is 90% vets, as a homage to the classic opening. But no, instead we get this low rent we-don't-care-we-just-hope-our-check-clears bullshît. I can't believe they're okay with airing this on national television. This is, for me, worse than GL's last decade of openings because at least they had an excuse as a show that spent 20 years trying to keep its head above water. Y&R has been the crown jewel of daytime for 30 years and they think this is okay? Ridiculous. Embarrassing. Throw it all away.

Sonny and Carly go through this periodically. Perpetual leads who go through lulls with nothing to do but their screen time barely changes. Until this recent story with someone trying to kill Sonny he was literally carrying Nina's purse for 3 months.

Lucy and Laura meet for the first time 30 years ago. Nice to see two women with a lover in common not have immediate animosity. Scott leaves the show 2 episodes later. Was Kin planning on leaving before Luke and Laura returned or was this his exit a reaction to their return?

My thought process when @Vee sent this to me earlier:

He was using cue cards into the 90s. He's terrible about remembering his lines. EB is lucky that Victor became the face of Y&R, he's not a very good actor and kind of a shîtty person.

Yeah, I agree, that's just nitpicky. He has Bobbie's family's surname, she came to a logical conclusion.

Starr Manning didn't have a personality beyond the age of 8. Joss is annoying as hell but she definitely has a personality, she's abrasive and argumentative and selfish. She's basically Carly without the little lost girl backstory to elicit sympathy (or the talent of SJB to carry where the backstory couldn't). If Brenda returned and was able to exist as a character outside of the albatross that is Brenda&Sonny and the neverending triangle (which is happily forever *fingers crossed* dead because Ingo is never coming back) I'd welcome her back. But I will not tolerate Sonny and Brenda crying and haranguing over the same issues they had 30 years ago 5 days a week.

My takeaway from that interview are 1) how messed up that a contract role on a daytime soap in the early 2000s still wasn't enough to cover her bills, what the hell does daytime pay new performers now? 2) Eva's surprise that they found the clip was weird, it's not like it was from the 70s, it was 20 years ago 3) fun fact from my days of being a Desperate Housewives' superfan: Eva's degree is in kinesiology. Eric Braeden needs a handler.

Oof. AD hasn't done anything, I think they were just trying to be funny. They fired her due to ageism (which is funny considering most of the leads on this show now are 40+). Or perceived ageism, anyway, SW isn't much younger than AD, just looks it. I think Engen didn't enjoy Adam's dark turn and having Adam have gheysex was basically his "You know what? I don't need to do this" so he left. Homophobia? Probably. He was able to push through causing a woman's miscarriage and stealing a baby but having sex with a man for nefarious reasons was a bridge too far.

Roberta Leighton's surgery almost looks reconstructive, was she involved in some sort of accident? If her operations were by choice I'm pretty shocked.

I wonder if Mamie will interact with her great nephews or great niece...or will Mamie just be mammying the elderly white children she used to take care of?

He's being called petty and bitter and now whiny, when all he did was say he didn't go due to how he was treated. He didn't even go out of his way to cry about it, he was asked a direct question and answered.

Ah, cool, thank you!

Question, was Lucky's birth announced before Luke and Laura returned in 93? I mean, did Ruby, Bobbie, etc. talk about Laura being pregnant and having a kid while they were off the show?

No one HAS to attend a party thrown by their former employers who they feel mistreated them. Y'all are weird.

Loren Lott, so much wasted potential. She’s a star. Victoria Rowell standing out amongst a crowd, per usual. I wonder how icy her former co-stars were to her. Dru’s return is the only thing that could possibly draw viewers back to this show, I’m telling you!

He's certainly alive.

I wonder who made the decision that this group represents the show. Very weird. I'm sure Jordan and Curtis are there as representation but Portia and Trina are far more popular than her. Unfortunately, no. He's slowly evolving into Woody from Toy Story. I can't even comment on Cam forgiving Joss it makes me so mad. Why can't ANYONE stay upset with Carly or her daughter? Only "bad" people get to call them on their BS.

First time seeing this image anywhere yet. Becky in the middle 🥰 I only wish the show treated her like a 25 year vet (or maybe they are) Tanisha Harper and CamMat's inclusion in this is weird and unwelcome.

I swear that picture of Victor and Nikki must be 20 years old by now.
