I agree there was very little to be had this year. and although i'm not a lover of modern music, Eurovision usually has a least a couple songs that I like. Not so much this year. The only Eurovision joy I got this year was the use of AI and modern technology to restore the missing strings and woodwinds from the 1973 contest, which is my all time favorite. https://youtu.be/3qgTKO-c2jU?si=ITPPC1eja7DynM8O

That's because that alcove has been around since 1973. It's just the Brooks' entry and living room remodeled.

So, is there any credence to some rumours I've been hearing about the possibility of Clayton Norcross returning?

No.... it was when she was talking to Chris about her failing marriage to Jack Curtis

My God... I jsut got through watching a Y&R clip from 1976 where they use that word. Many times. 1976!!!! What have we become with the censorship?

KKL Is a fine actress... Thorsten Kaye? AWFUL. I simply can't stand to even listen to his voice, I keep thinking Ridge has turned into Harvey Fierstein. And also, the man is 14 YEARS younger than Ronn Moss. I would have tried to get Leigh McCloskey to play Ridge when they had to do the recast.

This show could have been filled with wonderful conflict is Bradley would have just followed his father's blueprint. Granted it was tragic move, but killing off Phoebe should have been used in the same way as the death of Phillip Chancellor...the catalyst to ignite a decades long feud, between Steffy and Rick, carrying conflict into the next generation, especially since everyone knew Susan Flannery's retirement would be drawing near at the time it happened. Instead, they had Steffy bed hopping with every jerk that came along..... and making a fool of herself over the man that caused her sisters' death.

Maybe that's the main thrust of Hunter's point... that it sets a bad social example when every character is a scoundrel in some way. I know for many decades, they would rarely, if ever depict suicide on soaps for that very reason. Y&R managed to do it with Vanessa, but only because she had 6 weeks left to live anyway. For me, at least, you really NEED a goody two shoes in a show, to provide conflict and contrast. A-holes eviscerating each other constantly can get old. The audience needs someone that truly GOOD to root for. They need an Alice Horton in every show.

Does she really think the entire show should be like that? Or that PORTIONS of the show and characters should be like that? Taylor used to be more or less THAT character, the one that was the paragon of morality and virtue. Perhaps she wants a greater balance of those type of characters. If you think back to the original cast of Y&R.... immoral or treacherous characters weren't the majority. Stuart Brooks and Liz Foster were pillars of morality. Even the immoral ones weren't THAT evil... like Lorie or Jennifer... really, back then Katherine was as wicked as they got, you never had a contract player that was truly a villain. Who does B&B have to fill that virtuous role now? Hope?

I suppose one thing that might benefit both shows, would be to kill off Katie and drop Heather Tom back into Y&R and have her play Victoria again. It would add some realism, since Katie's heart transplant was 17 years ago, and the median age for survival for heart transplant recipients under 60 is 16 years. It's actually quite rare for a heart transplant patient to make it to 30 years.

I tried watching a couple episodes... not too good. This show needs a couple veteran actors to return. My choice would be Lesli Kay and Drew Tyler Bell.

So... I havne't seen any of this, I made the decision to stop watching when Jeanne Cooper died (Seemed like a nice place to end it) so I gather from reading this thread that they killed off Phillip Chancellor IV, and they couldn't spring for an airplane ticket for Jess and Tricia to come back for a few episodes? They couldn't even drive up to Lake Arrowhead and convince Thom to pull a scene or two out of his a$$?

Absolute legend in the industry. Helen Wagner and Doug Hastings were on the air live discussing Lisa when Walter Cronkite interrupted to tell the country that Kennedy had been assassinated. So many years of amazing work that Eileen accomplished, there will never be another like her.

They certainly did a good job explaining the entire thing.

. Her husband posted the following message: "The love of my life. The brightness in my life which is now so dimmer. In April I lost you and I miss you so much and I hope you are at peace. Lost Pam due to things beyond what was going on in her life. The original Peggy Brooks on The Young and the Restless and many more shows and commercials and then the creator of Chocolate Fortunes. So beautiful and a hell of a sense of humor. Great laugh, Great smile and Great compassion. You are my sidekick forever. Will miss you and all your sharp barbs. The angels are with you my beautiful angel. Fly safe and be happy. Much love and kisses forever."

The problem is.. with the economy tanking, a Demcorat led shutdown will shift the blame away from Trump.. and I think Schumer is wanting to make 1,000% certain everything that happens in on Trump's head

Why do thes female singer sound ailke so many ties. Listen to the first 30 seconds of the Israel entry and UK, and you'd think they were the same person. Same phrasing, same breathing, same tonal intonation.

I think the biggest mistake of recent years was them not sending Tänker inte alls gå hem ... I think it was 2021? But Good Lord, that was a good song.

Gotta say, Italy's SONG is fantastic... the singer sucks doodie balls. Someone with good pitch and a melodic voice would do that song justice. Serbia?? Not bad... certainly an atrractive man, with a good voice, once he opens his throat up.. but in the verses he sings in that damned forced whisper that is so popular today, that I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. Reminds me of these Christian rock singers.

I like Netherlands best out of this last batch. And the German singer? 100% correct. Of all the singers available to them, they couldn't find one that can sing on pitch? the Swedish song, "Hush Hush"... is it just me, or that song sound like it should be a Turkish entry? Australia.... I'm not sure what I just watched. How want to lay odds he wears that blue jumpsuit at the contest?

I have to admit, a good chunk of it is my age, and not being able to get used to newer production models and styles of all types. In the last 25 years, literally the only shows I've watched are Brothers and Sisters, Downton Abbey, and Revenge. And Y&R, of course, until they changed, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I decided to quit watching when Jeanne Cooper died, I figured it was a good place to leave it.

It's kinda the same reason I was a Knots Landing fan, and didn't watch Dynasty. This show in some ways is coming off like a Dynasty clone dipped in chocolate. That type of show is enjoyable on a certain level, as a spectator sport, but it doesn't envelop your emotions and draw you in like natural performances do.
