Abhi Sinha (Y&R) has been cast as a series regular on the NBC drama pilot Blank Slate. “Sinha will play Cornelius Kepler, the tech specialist on Maya’s Homeland Security team who uses his advanced IT skills to get whatever information they need.”

If Sheila’s latest return was a bust, it’s not because of Kimberlin Brown. She’s been stellar.

Up to you, of course! But that was my immediate reaction. Like, oops, who effed up and got fired?

I thought he was smokin’ when he first started as Michael Baldwin, even though the character was scary af. When he was all sweaty and hairy trying to chisel his way into Christine’s apartment—let’s just say I had very ambivalent feelings about that man. I think he looks better than he has in years with the grey hair and beard.

Adam talks to Sally crazy. So patronizing. Sally says something blindingly obvious. “Well done, Sally! You’re so perceptive!” It’s like he’s speaking to a precocious child. I’m curious what age Y&R’s writers think Sally is. Courtney Hope is 32 and Mark Grossman is 35.

With “ousted,” I expected some scandalous departure.

“Sparks fly for Sally and Adam.” They already banged in their office and at the Grand Penis. What other spaces have they yet to christen? A booth at Crimson Lights? Against Katherine’s memorial at Chancellor Park?

It does seem with the end of an era with Wendy Richard, Barbara Windsor, Leslie Grantham, and now June Brown all gone. Those are familiar names to even a casual follower of the show like me.

The Diane story is the only point of interest for me, so when it’s not airing, pass.

This show is ghastly.

Oh wow. She’s a national treasure.

Totally. There’s nothing that really distinguishes it from the endless parade of talent shows. Just feels kind of half-assed, as if they didn’t really believe the show could be super successful. And it really could have been.

The Week 2 ratings were… not good. It’s getting killed by American Idol. https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-monday-3-28-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html

Sure, why not? Sandy Dvore’s sketches for the Y&R opening would be cool too.

LOL.

You’re a curator at a museum solely devoted to charting and documenting the history and art of the genre—what would you acquire for its collection? I’m assuming a script and video library would be foremost but what else? What items from your favorite shows? I’d love to see existing (or recreated) pieces of iconic sets, like the Newman Ranch from Y&R.
