Wow at Iga stepping into this No. 1 role like a comfortable pair of house slippers. Sunshine double.

LOL it’s telling that the most compelling episode of Y&R in years was like 30-40 percent flashbacks. In all seriousness, I agree that PB and SW played well together, and the scenes were reasonably well-written. It was sort of poignant to see their aged faces after seeing those earlier scenes (and just a reminder of how much of a babe Bergman was even at that stage). One good thing about having MS back as Phyllis is the wealth of flashbacks they can use. Lots of history and antagonistic chemistry to mind with Stafford and Walters.

Donnell Turner is fine as füuuuuuq.

Steffy needs a strong cup of STFU. Sheila just spared you a gutting, and you’re still gonna run your mouth? I guess Stephanie used to do the same thing with Sheila…

Not quite as bad as I anticipated but man, these women need to stop butchering and injecting their faces. They don’t look human anymore. Sad that the spotlight encourages this kind of self-disfigurement.

I saw a lot of Nadal/Djokovic memes surrounding the match due to their countries of origin. And yeah he’s already mastered the drop shot. I saw Ben R. basically orgasming over Alcaraz, saying he’s the first young star he’s seen in his career as a reporter…

It’s a cool teaser. They used to do these more often. Like the one they did for VPR before it premiered. They probably just used footage from the show’s intro shoot. What has Caroline done to her face?

Harry Styles’s new song. It’s cute. Very 2000s indie pop.

I heard the Alcaraz/Kecmanovic match was outstanding.

Today was… not good. But I feel kinda meh about the whole show right now.

Steffy, you dumb f—k.

These shows are so timid that there’s no way that the Asian outsider to the Abbott family would have been a schemer. Although it would have been more interesting if Diane had manipulated her more beforehand. Allie certainly could have been more of a grey character. Right now, it seems like they’re going in the direction of bland do-gooder.

Exactly. Nick does nothing and hasn’t had a successful pairing in years yet isn’t disposable. Ditto Billy, who is an albatross who’s been relegated to podcasting as a story, yet isn’t disposable. Adam was “dead” and is playing the same old stories, yet isn’t disposable. They are thirsting to get back Michael Mealor as Kyle. They let Noah mope around the canvas for a year with no love interest (except creeping on a lesbian) and yet he’s not disposable. They say they want to have a “new beginning” and rebuild the Abbotts (sans Ashley and Traci full time). You’re telling me Jack’s oldest son has no value to the show alive, when he could easily be paired with Sharon, Chelsea, Victoria (post-Ashland), even as a spoiler for Amanda/Devon, the list goes on?

Ooooo.

I think they just don’t have a place on this show for an Asian leading man, even if they slightly DESORAS him. JG is too entranced by Adam/Billy/Nick, who are all tired.

It just makes me irritated that the scion of the Abbott family is considered so disposable, especially after avoiding even mentioning him for 25 years like he was fûcking Beetlejuice. Why did JG bring back Adam? That story was done and dusted. There were plenty of dynamics to dig into with both Keemo AND Allie. Keemo was a complete blank slate they could have taken in any direction. They could’ve even included Diane in that story if they wanted.

That is so obnoxious and unimaginative.

I actually don’t… mind the mustache with the soul patch above. Sorta balances it out. It’s the unkempt mustache we saw on the show that bugged the sh!t out of me.

Him and Azarenka. At least she admitted she’s got personal drama.
