Toups

It’s not as orangy today compared to yesterday but the air quality is still terrible. I don’t ever remember this happening where I live. It sucks.

Good. Having Djokavic meet Alcarez in the semis is so dumb. They shouldn’t have been in the same half of the draw. This was the most desirable matchup….and it won’t be the finals.

But isn’t it John Malone and Zaslov who wanted CNN move towards the right? Their pick of a new CEO might not change things.

This was a missed opportunity for Taylor to get another #1 song. I just don't think she played this right. I think she should've waited until "Karma" was higher on the chart (it was at #27 last week), and then drop the remix. If she did that, I think the song would've went to #1. Instead she gets her 8th #2 song.

Just read and saw the clips from the women's doubles controversy where the ball girl was accidentally hit with the ball. It was clearly an accident and they didn't deserved to be disqualified. Apparently the umpire only gave them a warning, but the other pairing complained which brought in the supervisor and tournament referee, and they were the ones who made the disqualification call.

Wow. It’s definitely the end of an era. They are two legends of this genre. Congrats on their well deserved retirement. And thank you for all they’ve done for soaps for the last 40 years - that’s a testament to their skill and how much they were respected by their peers.

Updated with demos.

Ratings for the week May 15-19, 2023 Demos and dailies will be added when/if we receive them.

Yeah the sensible thing after a 6 year relationship is to take a break but she immediately jumped into relationship. My speculation is that there was some sort of cheating, whether physical or emotional, when she and Matty recorded a song for Midnights. Matty and Taylor likely hooked up back in 2015, so when she and Joe were having issues during their last year of their relationship, Matty was there to reconnect In January of this year, she sang at The 1975 concert - she and Joe were still together at this time. The timeline just looks really bad. Exactly! It was all good for the last 6 years. Joe Alwyn, come back!!! LOL Shut up, Khan. How dare you. LOL That would be a nightmare. 😬 If she marries him or gets pregnant…..[Katherine Chancellor] Dear God in heaven. [/Katherine Chancellor]

Man, do I wish she was still with Joe Alwyn. LOL I do think Matty is kind of a douche, and says dumb/ignorant things, and the stuff he does on stage at his concerts are pretty stupid. So I don't really like this relationship, but whatever, it doesn't change things for me as a fan of hers. I'm just chalking this up as Taylor losing her mind after breaking up with someone she was with for 6-7 years, someone she probably thought she was going to marry. And this is probably the case of dating someone who is the total opposite of your ex (Joe is a private person who never said/did anything controversial/stupid, to someone who's immature/ignorant and says whatever is on his mind). You do very stupid things when you're hurt. I think most of us fans are just waiting/hoping for the inevitable break up. One thing is for sure though, he next album is going be highly anticipated because of the breakup with Joe, and hopefully her breakup with Matty.

Ratings for the week May 8-12, 2023

I know you're bias towards Liam, but that's just ridiculous. Something tells me that person had no clue about what an abusive and controlling relationship looks like. Hope is having a panic attack because she's feeling guilty about her "feelings" for Thomas. If they want Hope to have an affair with someone, it shouldn't be with the man who made her think her child was dead.

Could be. So it looks like Jeff is going to be listed everyday now since he's helping Josh and Amanda writing the breakdowns/thrusts that the script writers will be using. It's too bad Natalie Minardi Slater wasn't the one chosen to stay because she's been with the show since the 90's, without getting fired (before a few months ago).

Monday's Y&R US episode has Jeff Beldner in the script editor position and Brent Boyd in the breakdown writer position. Maybe they just mixed that up, so we'll have to wait until Tuesday's episode to see if it was just a mistake.

GH: - Whitney Clinkscales first listed as Director on May 10

Ratings for the week May 1-5, 2023

I think you're just making assumptions that they were chosen, right? Unless, you've seen the information from somewhere?

I know, right? I didn't think casting directors did that - it's the producer's job.

Who is Pam and why should we listen to her?

Oh that’s right. I forgot about that. My apologies @cityfan01 LOL

0-2. Not what I was asking for guys. LOL 😄 Don't believe Cynthia was ever on Y&R.

Dude, that is a brilliant idea! Would love to have Marci back on my TV screen. She's beautiful and a good actress. Has there been a situation where two people who played the same character, are on at the same time at another show?

I like Lexi and wish they gave her more to do. But I really like Kate and look forward to seeing her as Kristina, and hope they give Kristina a good storyline.
