More of Kris 🔥 🇹🇭 @Taoboi @AbcNbc247

And he had chemistry with Emme (unlike with MO). Shame. Again with Y&R pulling the trigger on something long after the moment has passed, in this case more than a decade LOL.

I couldn’t think of one (when soaps were truly emotional, I wasn’t much of a crier—needed some life experience to get there), but that Jill/Katherine scene definitely made me misty. And Lila stepping out of the wheelchair to guide Edward up the stairs in the Quartermaine mansion to heaven when he died on GH.

Golden Globes on a Tuesday night is so bizarre. I will not be watching.

A bittersweet yet ultimately hopeful song in this sad fallen world:

Nick and Sharon kinda don’t work anymore for me. I don’t feel like they’ve preserved that chemistry and spark. It’s weird: They should be more involved with their kids, but especially JM reads so much younger (in spite of his greying beard) that I don’t find him credible as a paternal figure. They are also hanging on to him as a romantic lead, and he does look great, but Y&R hasn’t really allowed these characters to evolve. Noah should be dominating stories the way Nick did at his age, and he’s just not. Structurally the show hasn’t allowed for that to happen. They give these characters all these kids for a short-term story peak, then don’t know what to do with them down the line. A writer really needs to come in and do a rethink on the Newmans, and it’s unlikely to happen given the state of the show and CBS Daytime.

Some interesting dynamics here (ALEX MCCORD!), but why so many returns?

Diana is a one-and-done officially:

I always loved Rex as Katherine’s partner and Danny and Gina’s reformed dad. QR made his evolution from a wily rascal to an elegant pillar of Genoa City work. I also loved what I’ve seen of his DAYS work.

Caitlin Reilly has paid tribute to her late father on the second anniversary of his passing:

Labine: comic-relief animals (Foster & Annabelle on GH, Todd’s parrot on OLTL); kooky female supporting characters (Lucy, Lois, Maggie, May Merisi); elevated, erudite dialogue; mob intrigue; dead children. I’m sure there’s much more I’m missing.

The Christmas songs are gone, and Taylor’s back at No. 1 with “Anti-hero,” which at seven weeks ties “Blank Space” as her longest-running Hot 100 chart topper. And, look, Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” has jumped into the top 10:

Lame of them not to post the new season to Paramount+.

Prakash Amritraj from Tennis Channel posted a photo of a very preggers Kaley Cuoco and her partner Tom Pelphrey (GL, ATWT). Ashley Jones (B&B, Y&R), Kaley’s BFF, is also seen here:
