Loved Gilly. And Monti Sharp was really GL’s lead (or one of them) for much of the summer of ‘93, after David killed Vinnie (and the whole Macauley West story that brought Joe Lando on).

Beyoncé gets her seventh No. 1 as a solo artist. Oof, where did Ariana/Justin go!?!

How much did that AC/DC song cost them? Chad Duell must have felt so self-conscious in that Magic Milo performance.

An oldie I stumbled on: from GL in 1966, Bert Bauer confronting Maggie Scott, who’d had an affair with Bill Bauer. Like this is real grown-ass women talk and no pyrotechnics:

I agree. She improved a LOT during her time on the show. She was unwatchably bad early on. I kind of think it was great that she doesn’t have a child, but too bad it have served to marginalize her (when it didn’t have to).

The visuals of the 1999 opening were great. It’s just that if you’re going to replace something as iconic as the original orchestral Nadia’s Theme, it had better be amazing, and that sax theme was meh and forgettable IMO. It’s telling that even as production ditched almost everything related to classic Y&R, they knew to go back to (and stick with) the original theme.

Couldn’t Jack have put on a shirt before he went downstairs to confront Ryan and Victoria? 😂 Loved HT’s early resting bitch face.

Oh Sharon Farrell. Few actresses could believably freak the f*** out like she could. Flo was such a memorable character.

What an unsatisfying finale to this RHOA reunion. Started strong but went out with a whimper.
