-- I complained about the Disney tie-in, but Michael James Scott was very good today, and the scene was directed well. As long as the Disney stuff is over, I'm good with it. -- Valentin got on my nerves with that gun. Carly is a nasty, hypocritical POS. Chris McKenna was really good today. -- I didn't really have a problem with Cody and Molly talking about their trip. Those types of scenes are standard in an episode with a ton of action. -- GH spends a fortune on sets, yet Joss tried that door in her locked room and it almost flew open 😂 -- A lot of characters appeared today, and I was never bored. I can't be mad at it.

-- Shanice is talking to Nicole about Ted. Really?? I don't think she'd be so clueless, and it doesn't matter she didn't remember it was "anniversary day." -- This "Anniversary Day at the Club" is actually hilarious, as if it's some seismic event in everyone's life that no one can get beyond. -- Kat is entirely right to keep Eva at arm's length and to have negative feelings about her. Eva still refuses to hold Leslie accountable for ANYTHING. Nothing that Leslie says or does is too far for Eva. -- So Ashley moved on from Derek because of his lies, but Grayson's lies and cover-ups are all OK. Got it. -- This plasma storyline has to end soon, because it's getting harder and harder to believe. Jacob and Grayson were beaten and stabbed, so what do they do? Return to the brick wall to plot. Huh? None of it makes any sense.

This week's shows..... -- I'm still pissed that they let Michael Roark go. Getting rid of Jeremy -- a Horton -- makes no sense, and there was so much more story to tell. -- I really find Stephanie insufferable these days. I'm so tired of her being overwhelmed and unable to cope with ANYTHING. She's the one who needs a psych ward. Giving her a gun is absolutely bonkers. -- And if Stephanie can't cope with Alex having a child, he should dump her. -- I wish I could pinpoint where they went wrong with the Sophia story, but they did. I agree with those who say they made her TOO crazy for TOO long. -- Is Johnny's chair bolted to the floor? Is there a reason he can't jumpslide that chair over to Sophia's death trap? -- Carson Boatman had a lot of trouble keeping a straight face when he told Sophia "You're a good person." -- It was hilarious when Johnny was wheeled into the hospital on a gurney while Javi spit out his vitals. None of it looked like The Pitt, let me tell you.😂 -- I knew Sophia was dunzo when she and her mother had that loving conversation. -- Now Chanel has cancer. Just terrible writing to give a character who hasn't had two weeks of sustained happiness ANOTHER life tragedy. Chanel and Johnny are walking disasters. -- No way is Sophia dead.

I will add that GH by far had the best Friday cliffhanger. No other soap was even close.

-- Steffy's lighter hair is a mistake. -- If Remy is scaring Dylan, that's also a mistake.

-- I agree with you. It's hard enough for me to accept White Man Joey having so much power and influence over all these Black characters, but giving teeth and bite to Vernon and others would help. Jeez, Vernon had to go through Elon to get a damn meeting with Joey. Ridiculous. -- Wardrobe on this show is outstanding, but I had to laugh at the fit Andre put on at 6 am, especially that white jacket. -- So Lynette scammed a lot of wealthy people. Once again, I have a problem with writing these scammers like Lynette and Hayley as broke one day and as having access to a ton of money the next. -- I have no problem with Kat continuing her grudge against Eva. Eva puts on an act and is consistently performative. I don't see her as sorry for anything she's done -- or that her mother continues to do. -- Good Nicole and Ted conversation, but I still have a really hard time believing Ted would still be friends with Carlton, let alone best friends.

-- Joss simply does not work as this WSB spy. They can rework her and these plots all they want, but it is NEVER going to work. I don't know what her lane is, but this ain't it. -- Carly in the kitchen with those PIERCING SCREAMS at Valentin really got on my nerves. And I'm sorry, this guy continually showing up in the kitchen while supposedly in hiding is a joke. -- Stephen A is back to flirt with Jordan? Are you effing kidding me with this trash? Frank is so hard for this Brick character and "actor," and it's pathetic.

-- I think Maura West is one of the greatest daytime actors in history. I love seeing her, but I can't be happy with her place on the canvas these days. If she were trying to throw over Sidwell, I'd buy it. -- The Carly and Lucas scenes were maddening. Not pressing Carly for the name of the guy she's dating is ridiculous. -- Ryan Paevey has been doing nice work as Cassius. -- I love watching Nathan Dean work. Love the accent and what he does with his lines. Eminently watchable.

Jason Thompson is a good actor, but as a character, Billy is tired. The problem is that so many characters on Y&R can use a rest. Also -- in my opinion -- JT is a good looking guy but also someone I do not want to see shirtless. He does nothing for me and isn't sexy. The truth is that we're playing "Who Should Be Shirtless?" because today's show was not good.

-- I could've sworn we had a scene in the past with shirtless nuTed. Maybe I'm imagining it. Regardless, iT would have made sense for him to take off his jersey, even to change into a tank top. -- I think Timon looks better in clothes than out of them.

Why in the hell is Daphne taking her pregnancy tests at work? These two have been married for 5 minutes, and already there's PANIC about not getting pregnant.

-- Immediately suspending Madison at the hospital makes no sense. Hospitals do not operate that way unless there's immediate danger to patients or if multiple errors have been reported. -- Also ridiculous is having Lia tell Madison she's benched while walking through the reception area. No hospital functions this way. -- I don't like Samantha written as a sister who so easily throws her brother under the bus. -- I didn't like Jessica's lecture on "the patriarchy," either. Maybe it was cute, but I found it pretentious as hell, and I don't believe Jessica would rush to Samantha's defense like that. -- This show works overtime to make Smitty seem overwhelmed and consumed with the plasma case. But doing what, exactly? Now contact with Ren is gone. How is this plasma transfer working? -- Don't get me started on the stupidity of stabbing the hospital blood plasma transfer person. -- Ted told Leslie "We've come a long way." Just more proof that he's a moron. I really want Shanice to dump his ass. -- Madison and Chelsea handled the phone call from Madison's mother like two middle schoolers.

The fraus on Facebook are really upset about Smitty's shirtless towel scene. One even commented that it was "in front of his father-in-law." I just can't.

Y&R gives us shirtless Billy. BTG gives us this.
