Tabyana is looking great. I’m glad they got her out of those dowdy, boxy clothes.

Totally get it. Thanks for the explanation. And no, I wouldn’t miss her if she left tomorrow.

Indeed. In very tight leggings.

Not trying to convince you or annoy you, but just curious why you think she has to be killed off permanently. The ridiculous story of her conception? I know a lot of people feel she simply shouldn’t exist, period, which I understand. That SpermPig story was disgraceful and pretty much destroyed Ashley. That said, and this is just me: I generally feel that unless a character has done something irredeemable, like killing a beloved character in cold blood, they can be salvaged with time off the canvas. The major problem with Abby is that the crap writers who’ve shepherded this show since her arrival as an adult have had zero idea of what to do with her. She was initially a Paris Hilton-esque joke, then became the all-purpose pretty white heroine they wanted for that age group. And the poor casting has done the character no favors. But I think just having her leave the canvas and rarely mentioned wouldn’t be some albatross on the show. In the unlikely event that some competent writers take over after Y&R moves to streaming or something, I’d love to still have that legacy character on the table, perhaps reinvented down the line due to some offscreen events in her life, especially when we’re already contending with a depleted generation of Abbotts.

Inga Cadranel really does look a lot like her. So funny.

LOL, they reused that line from Doug possessed by the Devil.

He has had his watchable moments—the Elena/Nate affair, some of his early stuff. All short-lived. If he sustains interest for more than a few weeks without totally flatlining again, I’ll be impressed. Having actual villains helps. It’s not rocket science: it shouldn’t have taken him this long to bring on darker characters to shake things up a bit, but at least it’s happening.

That’s great that he arranged this. It would be nice if her son joined, but I know it might be too raw for him at the moment. I’m sure he’ll do the same for KH eventually.

Yeah, that’s pretty much a slap in the face. They didn’t even do a flashback reenactment of Rey in the crash as Ashland told the story? Maybe they are waiting for a twist (JG loves to “surprise” us with a “twist”) to show that perhaps Rey didn’t die due to the crash. Maybe he was still alive but Ashland really killed him? Either way, odd. Sharon Case’s great acting would have resonated more if I bought Sharon and Rey as a couple. They actually directed/shot that Sharon/Nick scene reasonably well, even if it was overlit in the modern-day Y&R style. They should have just ended the scene with Sharon saying “I already know,” then her breaking down, instead of cutting to Victoria/Ashland/Victor/Nikki in the cabin and cutting back to Nick breaking down the gory details of Rey’s death to Sharon. Would have been more impactful. Ashland is a total fail as a character, but RN is doing a good job. I can’t imagine Richard Burgi playing any of this.

One of the things DAYS does better than the other soaps is having one character expose another, like Abby reading Gwen for filth. We rarely get that satisfaction on the other shows, and it’s one of the great pleasures of soaps. (Love me some Marci Miller.)

It’s also incredibly hypocritical and disingenuous of them to rail against Hollywood when they are more than happy to turn up and play court jester on Hollywood’s platforms.

lol Even funnier was when Nicole Scherzinger asks, “Is that Robert Duvall?!?!” And Ken says under his breath, “That’s… not Robert Duvall.” All things aside, it’s spectacularly sh!tty they threw one of their hosts under the bus for sensationalism. Plus, they gambled for a ratings boost and… lost.
