It'll probably happen soon with someone.  

 

I don't even know how you can say that - it's been all Adam all the time for at least a month or two.  There's hardly a scene that he's not mentioned or that he's in.  He's completely eating the whole show.  Maybe it's just because I've tuned in at the wrong time but when I had it on 2 and 3 weeks ago for 1/2 hour here and there - it was all Adam.  And I just don't want to see storylines from 5 or 6 years ago.  The Chelsea/Adam angst that I'm sure it will become, the Chloe/Kevin, the Chloe needs to kill Adam, Chloe tries to forgive Adam, Billy is going to kill Adam because of Delia and on and on that I'm sure is probably going to dominate the storylines.  I'm going to be watching The Real from a day behind that I've already seen rather than The Adam and the RestofUs.

God love you, Fevuh, but tbh, you’re always staying away from the show, fast-forwarding through the hour in 10 minutes,  or watching 5 minutes before turning it off.

Cynthia Watros is doing a great job as NuNina.

I like Watros a lot, but I don’t see much in her Nina so far. It’s pretty much a non event to me.

While I agree, I now have to put up with MS on Y&R.   There is no god!

I love Gina Tognoni, but Stafford has been strong in her return, in my opinion. I’m enjoying her.

A source of conflict can be Victor unknowingly orchestrating Lola's death and keeping it from Celeste.

 

Hey, he's done worse and if it rids us of Lola....

I cannot stand Lola the character or the actress. Terrible storyline, and the actress has the fakest smile I’ve ever seen. She plays it so often it’s pathetic, and I never forget that she’s ACTING. God, she’s terrible.

Gave it a shot today, tuned in to see a nice conversation between Sharon and Faith.  Boy is she growing up fast.  Then, there was THE ADAM.  As the ADAM TURNS!  Turned it off.  It was nice to see Faith again and Sharon.  But then.....THE ADAM!  

 

No THANK you.  I can see Y&R is really getting the message of how well Adam is working.  Consistently all time lows now and they just keep having him on.  Changed back a little later - and people were talking about - ADAM!  And then ADAM was lurking in the park or something.  I'm so done with this show at this point.  It's just gross.  Literally Grossman or whatever his name is.  

 

And people just seem to love him - I really just don't get it.  

Another thing I don't want to see.  Eric Braeden/Victor and his nearly 78 year old wrinkled butt with a 52 year old hot woman that just cannot resist him.  But people gripe about Daniel Goddard/Beth Maitland and an unrealistic 13 year or 14 year old difference in age.  

 

No thanks to any new romances with Victor/Eric Braeden and anyone.  Maybe him and Jill?  He and Nikki are further apart in age than alot of "unbelievable" romances on soaps.  

Adam has been on a lot, but I’m a big fan of Grossman and the character. He was featured throughout today’s show, but I never felt Adam took over and hijacked the show. I've seen gross on daytime, and Mark Grossman isn’t it. 

And where’s this coming from about Eric Braeden and another romance? I’m not seeing anything like that on my screen.

I vote rude, too. You don't rut like farm animals in SOMEONE ELSE'S office on someone else's furniture. Go get your freak on at home or a supply closet or something. It's not about "forgetting what it's like to be young", just about a damn crumb of decency.

Yeah, they were rude, but I liked it anyway. Julie is a ridiculous Puritan, and they should have told her to go pound salt. I wanted them to fire back at her old ass.

Wiil and Sonny were again a total snore. My GOD, they’re boring as hell.

I thought the Kyle pool party scene inside the Abbott house was ridiculous. All those wet bodies? They climbed out of the pool and walked dripping wet through the house? Just no. Either have a pool set or have a party without swimming. The whole thing was stupid.

The drama started by Mama Rosales is so lame. They can’t tell this woman she can’t live with Lola? Or to stop talking? I also don’t understand her designer dresses.

i absolutely love Gina Tognoni, but I’m enjoying Stafford in the role. She’s chewing scenery, but so what? She chews it well, and that scene between Phyllis and Christine was gold. I think her return has been a success.

Chelsea and Nick aren’t exciting, but I don’t LOATHE them the way so many people do. I honestly think the hatred for them goes too far when the Kyle and Lola coupling is so much worse.

Continued good work done by Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott.

If YR is 99% ff material now, the other 3 soaps are at 100%.

I’m a big Gina Tognoni fan, but I don’t think Michelle Stafford is struggling at all with her return. She doesn’t seem off to me.

The cooking show stuff with Lola was trainwreck bad, and Mama Rosales shouldn’t look like one of the owners of a grand Hotel.

Jack and the lady who lost her dad to Alzheimer’s...I mean, WTF was that? I care about her less than I care about Chelsea’s dead husband.

Good to see Jess Walton back.

The actor playing Xander should be killed off for being so terrible. What an awful actor.

I can't follow who the hell they're referring to.

And why can’t this DAYS source tell who it is BTS who’s cutting storylines short? Why the secrecy?

It’s  the same with these stupid Blind Items — I think most of them are created from nothing. For so many , there’s no reason for mystery.

i get why so many are upset with Ben being treated like a good guy, but face it, Eve is written as a Trump loving MAGA racist. Ron has erased any chance that I’ll feel sorry for her or side with her.

THIS

 

And it's cute how a poster simply chooses to like the show because other's didn't. LOL.

That’s not what I said.

LOL

I like Jackie Zeman and Kin Shriner, but my God, their scenes were painful to watch. Zeman is an actress from another time, and she just can’t do it. I’m sorry to say it, but she’s not a good actress.

Backburning Kyle and Lola? Sorry, that’s not going to happen. I don’t like their story, either, but they’re not going away. I do give Michael Mealor credit for not checking out during his scenes. I can’t imagine he’s happy with his character, but he’s still working hard. This Sasha who plays Lola? Just not a good actress. She seems fake to me.

i don’t care that Mama Rosales looks the same age as Rey. We’ve dealt with this age thing a dozen times on the show, most recently with a Lily and the twins. We’ll get used to it.

i enjoyed Thursday’s U.S. show. Only mentioning it because others didn’t like it. I’m just enjoying the show a lot these days, flaws aside.

The carnival set is terrific, and the scenes shot there have been really well-directed and produced. A lot of money went into that set and on extras, and it paid off. I did expect some bigger plot element there, but that aside, I still loved it.

Hope really is stupid and deserves what she gets.

i actually enjoyed today’s show with Thomas’ kid presenting the ring, because it was all so awful. This kid who barely talked had 4 paragraphs of dialogue, offers Hope a ring, and Thomas has a look on his face and shrugs as if he has no clue what’s happening.

it was HILARIOUS!

This show is a mess, but Thomas does look good with his shirt off.

Melissa Claire Egan is in the opening credits as of Monday.

 

I guess they are using her old intro shot so it is easily inserted.

 

They haven't done that for Greg Rikaart so he's either recurring or just back for a short stint.  However, if the former he could be included like DD, TEB and CLB.

Greg Rikaart was in the opening credits one day last week.

Just great scenes with Chloe and Adam and great scenes with Chloe and Esther.

The ending with Billy and Chloe was also packed with emotion, even though no words were said.

I love Traci and Beth Maitland but this story is horrific.

I have to agree. I gave it a chance because I love Maitland, too, but it doesn’t work at all. I don’t dislike Daniel Goddard, either, so he’s not the reason.

They don’t have chemistry, and there’s no spark. I hate the “Feel sorry for Traci until Daniel realizes he LIKES her!” writing. The black and white scenes were novel until the accents went all over the place and the story was banal and boring. The novel Traci finished? Lousy. I know I’d never buy it, and Cane sweetly saying “Incredible” was absurd. I just have zero interest in them as a couple.

Traci works better as the emotional center of the family, the glue that pulls everyone together when things start to fray. She works better as someone we want to find love but doesn’t. It happens, you know.

if Josh Griffith is wise — and I have my doubts — he’ll end this mess sooner rather than later,and I mean the whole romantic element. It doesn’t work.

It's funny how soap fans say that whenever their favorite actor or couple have returned, are being featured every episode, or are being criticized by others online.  Otherwise, they're all too happy to join in on the spoiling and bitching.

It’s funny how you’d say that, but in my case, your analysis doesn’t fit.

i don’t care much about either actor returning in the coming weeks from the 2013 era. I didn’t hate them, but don’t see the reason to bring either back. But all day long I’ve read bit_ching about 2013, and to me that’s tiresome. 

Has Mark Grossman been on a lot? Yeah, and tbh, I have no complaints even if “he is eating the show.” Why? Because he’s a great Adam and I love looking at him. That’s my truth. 

I said I was exhausted with all the complaining on Twitter. I didn’t attack or insult anyone here. All I did was give my opinion, and I’d like to think that’s ok. Do I bitch on occasion? Yeah. 

I guess i just don’t understand why my posts bother you so much. If I overstep or get too aggressive, I don’t mind or blame you for coming after me. In this case, though, I don’t think I said anything that deserved a smack down. 

Just hold up a sign that says HILARY NEVER DIED.

That’s it. Done. I don’t care how they bring Hilary back or how messy it is. Having her back matters more.

I honestly don’t  care if JG takes us back to 2013 or 1990 or to last month. 

I wish we got no spoilers and no casting news, tbh. All it does is lead to bitching about everything, and to plots being ruined in advance. I’m already exhausted with all the complaining on Twitter.

The Joshua Morrow and Michelle Stafford scenes were brutal today. 

LOL I know you accused me of being Morrow because I defend the guy, but I really have to wonder why you hate him so much. He’s not the greatest actor in the world, but he’s certainly not the worst, either. No matter what he does, you trash him in the ugliest way. Just odd as hell.

The Nick and Victoria scenes were so bad. And how EB cried was beyond me...maybe he was crying at how Joshua Morrow acting hasn't approved after all this time. Because JM gave Eric nothing to work with in those emotional scenes.

Well, I have to once again disagree with you. I thought the Nick/Victoria scenes were good and thought the Nick/Victor scenes were exceptional.

Braeden and Morrow both gave emotional, genuine performances in those scenes.

I caught up a few scenes with NuAdam and Original Phyllis. Plus a couple of scenes with Teriah and Devon's sister (?).

 

I was shocked at how LIFELESS the whole show felt.

 

The scenes have no crescendo. No tension. No pace. You can't tell the actors have not even rehearsed the script, let alone do the blocking.

 

It's just a whole lot of people sitting around talking about stuff happening off camera. All the actions is elsewhere. It's being talked about. Compare this to the scenes that are popping up on YT, with 2000's Diane Jenkins plotting her revenge against Victor and you can picture a pretty disheartening scenario.

Lifeless? Sorry, I disagree vehemently. I thought the show was excellent, start to finish. The actors haven’t even rehearsed? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Whoever said that the Summer/Phyllis scene today was awkward...wasn’t lying.

I think the Summer/Phyllis scene was awkward because Summer had 80% of the dialogue. Phyllis didn’t want to tell her she was kidnapped, so she was close- mouthed while Summer rambled. I didn’t see any awkwardness between the actors.

Mark Grossman is great as Adam. I don’t give a crap about his age.
