So you’re holding out hope that it’s actually going to all make sense somehow? Even after the Dumas mess from this summer? Yeah I won’t hold my breath. 🤣

Y&R CDN episode thoughts

First new character in awhile on Y&R I am intrigued by, and I’m not even super familiar with her work.. (I remember bits here and there from Days) but I really like this actress. i just want Sally off my screen and I have felt assaulted by her and her bright red hair everyday & JG seems to like writing for her a lot. If this is JG’s new pet, I am willing to keep an open mind.

Well. One thing we know for sure now. Nick and Sharon’s children absolutely suck at driving

That was a fun interview. I hope there’s more to come. I love all those ladies. I’m pulling for Sharon to win though or at the very least Eileen. Third preference would be Missy and then Michelle. Michelle has enough Emmy’s as is..

I’d be pissed as an actress if I played the character of Nina for all these years and I can’t even return to mourn my own sons death but they bring me back for this nepo baby b*tches wedding.

Right? Not only is the plot itself unimaginative/boring and repetitive but we know we won’t even get any good scenes or sets out of it either.

Y&R next week previews.

JW has been in quite a few episodes so far actually. A lot of them are with Cane (bleh) but she has some with Nikki and Victor too.

Thoughts on today’s CDN episode

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
