Darn

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.

Can we start an anti-chemistry thread? Because that’s what he had with everyone.

I was so annoyed that it took half an episode to come to that obvious conclusion. I don't understand this Cody story and I don't even want it explained to me. Enough with the paternity/maternity shît. It looks like we're headed for another viral outbreak? Unless I missed something. Victor has a pathogen. Both Donna and Olivia are ill. I'd give anything for them to cull half the cast.

It's so stupid lol I gotta know: have they been mentioning the bicentennial in the lead up to it? Nikki would not give two shîts about Genoa City's bicentennial. Veronica Reed does indeed look great. And I'm really not trying to be a dîck but every single person in that preview was over 60. Is this show just utterly uninterested in generational storytelling?

He just listed people he finds attractive. Best to ignore it. Imagine her going toe to toe with Beverley McKinsey.

LOL I have even watched it yet but Lily go to hell. I'm surprised they didn't have her try and pull this again at 40. God she sucked.

GH: I think Laura Wright has chemistry with everyone. And that just comes down to her committing to what's on the page, it has little to do with anything Carly is. Genie Francis has chemistry with everyone except John Lindstrom. Maura West has chemistry with this forum. My fingers. The air. She just sells absolutely everything and everyone they throw at her. Hell, she's making me almost like an actor (Roger Howarth) I have never liked in my 25 years knowing of his existence.
