date: Friday, November 21, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico Samantha, I am ready to strangle you. Just because you are grounded because of your piss-poor decisions does not mean Tyrell needs to be dogged on like that. Grow up and get over yourself. Dana is really laying it on thick with Laura. She cannot help herself, can she? I appreciate Carlton being respectful of Nicole and her space, but it is also nice to see that he is not just disappearing altogether from her life. Dana is slapping it on even thicker with insinuations of what she believes is happening with Vernon and Sharon and how nice Anita was to give her well wishes for Peaches. That is class personified. It is so cute to see Carlton and Nicole reminisce on prior Winterfests. So cute. The chemistry is real there, and if it is not pursued as a romantic relationship, I am happy they have it as lifelong friends/co-workers. I find it so cute how into Jessica Tyrell happens to be, and I appreciate that Bradley is open to hearing Tyrell's feelings and actually hearing them. Good on you, Laura, for putting Dana on notice and standing up for yourself. Not only do I appreciate that Eva is aware of her decisions (or lack thereof), but I appreciate Anita acknowledging the influence that Dana has had over her as well. There is growth there. Dana, you are a vile, disgusting human being. This is beyond psychological warfare on Laura. This is downright inhumane. Damn. Nicole has teas for everything. I do not drink tea, but one with lavender? That already soothes my mind, body, and soul. Notes: ANOTHER breakdown by writer2? Really? Was no one else available? Poor Brown and Danielle Paige got saddled with some absolute garbage this week. They really need to stop laying it on so thick to insinuate that Vernon is cheating on Anita. It is becoming more and more obvious that is not happening.

I'm disappointed because I really did like Jenna as a housewife. But I respect her decision to not want her personal life to be filmed. The only housewife I've ever been OK with not filming their personal life was Bethenny (for obvious reasons, re: Jason).

Having both Gina and Nina on today feels very familiar. VERY! However, the backpedalling Josh Griffith has done with Christine vs. Phyllis is disgusting. So much was done to repair/grow that when Gina Tognoni was in the role. This just feels like "schoolgirl on the playground" behaviour.

Because it is not; both hospital are quiet, although, the General Hospital set is like four-times the size (so it should have some kind of... activity). The nit-picking is ridiculous by some].

This feels right for both characters, honestly. I have always liked Christine with Danny, but they always felt like the star-crossed lovers that could never be right together at the right time, so I am happy now is that right time.

Brand-new character to me; excited to see what comes.

The production of today's episode was solid. That's all I've got. The amount of plastic (acting/actors) is overwhelming on this soap.

Kind of where my head is at, too.

date: Thursday, November 20, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Peaches sounds like she is about to cough her ass to death. Get her ass, Martin. Lay down the law to the spoilt bitch who thinks she is God's gift to the earth. Shanice is not having any of what Dana is trying to sell. Dana, you have met your damn match. Not the con artist child bride trying to cover up what Naomi walked in on. Hilarious. Not the spoilt bitch counting up what Eva "owes them". Martin is right on this one. Surprised how level-headed he is about this. And good on him for correcting the "half" mess. The con artist child bride is really tangled up in some hot-ass messes. Naomi does not owe you a single thing. At all. YES, YOU ARE A TOTAL BITCH! A SPOILT ONE AT THAT! Chelsea, you had me until the end; I can appreciate her trying to change a stubborn, entitled mind. Martin having Eva's back is so pure. I love seeing that side of him. That smirk of Bill drinking the poison is ridiculous. Shanice vs. Dana could actually be juicy. And Dana, Ted is not your man. Notes: Ugh. Not another day with the writer as the breakdown writer. Thankfully, we have Paige today to make sure things are better executed.

I agree; plus, even if for a short period of time, Tracey Bregman was on contract for the first time in several years. The issue is what she was asked to do (and I fully believe she was) in updating Y&R. But yes, the show still looked like how it should have looked. Thankfully, we're getting back [visually] to what it was, but it is still lacking some richness from my POV. Phelps definitely operates from more of a business perspective (in comparison to a creative perspective), and her use of music/sense of direction is solid (I will give her that). Truthfully, she is a woman in a business where I am sure the men would prefer her not exist.

I will have to figure it out, because it is completely different visually from what the source code option was. 🫠 Feels like the definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Kudos to @Errol for this. IP5 is actually quite beautiful and very seamless. The board feels faster, and I will certainly have to adjust to how some things are visually. But overall, amazing! However, does "Source code" not exist on IP5? Is it now "Inline code"? 862? I would simply be triggered seeing that every single time I logged in.

I would take her back as executive producer immediately (although, I do feel like Sally McDonald is doing well as co-executive producer). Josh Griffith as head writer is the most troublesome, but demos and ratings are solid, and that is what the suits look at for this soap, so unless a major slump happens, no changes will come. Plus, under Phelps, we did win Outstanding Drama Series twice (2014/2015) after a seven-year spell of not winning. But right now, I do believe where she is is right where she belongs, and I feel like she's happy being where she is.

Just like she always does.
