Yeah, the sickly sweet Traci is simply to create a stark contrast from her squabbling sibs as a plot contrivance when she’s in town. She had way more layers when she was written for full time and had romances back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. But she was also then written by Bill Bell, the master who created her, not Josh Griffith.

Another German: model and trans activist Benjamin Melzer from Recklinghausen:

Chinese-born, Frankfurt-based. Totally hot. And knows it. Although he takes too many photos with his head cut off.

For real. With Punky as a single mom.

I know CBS sells the “30 years at No. 1 in total viewers” narrative in press releases, which is nice but doesn’t mean a lot, but Y&R was getting eclipsed by the ABC soaps (and DAYS) in the demos for many of those years. CBS had that grandmas-in-nursing-homes rep they were trying to shake.

GT, maybe if only by virtue of being a far superior actress to Amelia, would have navigated the watered-down ABC heroine path (with the retractable claws of old-school Bitchtoria) more skillfully. But then I remember the cautionary tale of her last run as Kelly on OLTL, a disappointment after she hit it out of the park as Dinah.

Fedal semi, here we go.

So... Men’s quarterfinals Djokovic vs Zverev Thiem vs Khachanov Federer vs Wawrinka Nishikori vs Nadal Women’s Final 8 Keys vs Barty Halep vs Anisimova Stephens vs Konta Vondrousova vs Martic

Monfils can play Federer so well but have no weapons against Thiem and Djokovic. Matchups matchups matchups. Halep picked a fine time to start GOATing.
