He’s terrible at writing good stories for women period so it’s especially glaring when it’s a storyline for a female couple. He tends to care more about writing stories focused on the men (Billy, Victor, Nick, Adam) but soaps always used to be focused on the female perspective. I prefer a more balanced approach personally.. and being able to see both perspectives but hey I guess that’s asking too much.

It’s been an extremely slow burn which I wouldn’t be upset about if the intention was to actually have them end up together. They’re already getting the Michael and Lauren treatment (being backburned) so why not just let them be together and start writing some stories for Noah and Faith. I really hope that will be what happens if we get new writers.

Oh but we will be able to see some scenes next week of Shick being in L.A with Noah. Funny how JG has to rely on Shick as his last ditch effort to save his job. Well I don’t think it’s going to work. Bye bye JG you couldn’t possibly be gone fast enough!

So, Tessa and Sharon’s conversation indicated to me that Tessa and Daniel were gonna track down Mariah and we were gonna be able to see this drama play out on screen but ofcourse none of that happened. Tessa and Daniel are back at the coffee house next week talking about their trip to Sharon.. REALLY? What is the point of any of this. I get there are budget restraints but we couldn’t even atleast get a hotel set or something with Daniel and Tessa discovering some kind of information about Mariah? I just don’t understand these writers at all.

I know Sally is supposed to be like a young version of Phyllis but to me she’s more like Victoria. Shes supposedly very business savvy but shes boring as f*ck. I wouldn’t mind at all if she went back to B&B.

Nikki’s look has been on point lately. Age appropriate and yet very current and stylish.

😂😂😂

I saw this on fb and I thought it was one of those fake posts because I was shocked that Gina would be returning. Wasn’t she last seen in 2009? It’ll be good to see her again.

So odd to see Adam, Chelsea, Nick, Sharon with less episodes in a month than Esther lol. I know that will change because they have storylines coming up but still. I like that Esther is around still and I think her presence is good here and there but I have no interest in seeing her more than once or twice a month.

JG is so bad at knowing how to stretch out a s/l and this is coming from someone who enjoys a long drawn out storyline (atleast a year) if all the right beats are played with some twists thrown in. This Tessa/Mariah storyline already feels excruciatingly long & it’s only really been going for a few months but I swear they just keep writing the same conversations over and over again in a scene to stretch the s/l out longer. That scene between Sharon and Tessa at the coffee house felt like it’s already been had like 3 times at least. Where are the twists and the suspense? It just lacks everything that makes a solid storyline. Boring conversations of the same sh*t day in and day out is not entertaining and I get there are budget restraints but that doesn’t excuse the lack of imagination.

I miss Robert Adamson. He was a fabulous Noah. He was probably the only Noah I really liked to be honest. Also, R.I.P to Charlie Kirk. What an awful tragedy.

It better not be Chuck Pratt. I think JG and CP would be disastrous

Lindsay Hartley on Passions in 2004. Theresa was pregnant with twins.. (One baby was Gwen’s)

Who? 👀

I just watched Nov 28th 1994 Sharon meets Victor for the first time in his office at Newman Enterprises and it was such a great scene. Those writers and producers really knew how to give a good scene that stands the test of time. I really miss the way soaps used to be produced.. the slow music and all. I could have sworn I thought Brenda Dickson as Jill was in the scene in this episode but I looked it up and it turns out it’s a character named Mari Jo who I do not have any knowledge of because I wasn’t watching back then but I did think to myself “huh? Wasn’t Brenda Dickson already gone by this time?” Well turns out they just share a very striking resemblance to one another

I had a feeling when they announced Noah’s return & the upcoming Shick storyline that JFP may have had a hand in that. JG does not seem to give a single f*ck about the younger generation of Newmans.

Been listening to Jeanne Coopers book and it’s leading me down the rabbit hole of Katherine Chancellors old storylines and scenes. So much rich history that I wasn’t even alive to experience yet. I wish the show didn’t fully ignore it like they do now

Really? Is this now official? I’m assuming it’s JFP like what has been rumoured on here over the last few months.

Ewwwww I do not need to see Cane and Traci in scenes together. Traci could be Canes grandmother at this point. Please just give Traci an age appropriate man that doesn’t end up being a psychopath. Thanks.

I voted in the poll for Crickets dress on instagram 😆 I picked #2

I hate that park set with a passion

I hope someone figures out how to save the episodes and upload them somewhere. What country is this accessible to if not the U.S? Can Canadians watch or do we need a VPN too?

I went on binge last night watching a bunch of old Jeanne Cooper interviews. God I miss that woman. She also just seemed so young and progressive for her age even though she had such a love for the soap genre and what soaps used to stand for. She was talking about how Y&R used to have a team of researchers who worked really hard to make sure the storytelling they did on the show was accurate and mirrored real life stories (cancer, serial killers, mental disorders, etc). She said that the show made a bet that if the story telling wasn’t accurate they had to give out a T-shirt any time a mistake was made & they only ever had to give out 2 T-shirts! imagine how many T-shirts they would have to give out now. Sigh.
