She’s Steven Moffat’s mother-in-law.

Finally from FAA. He’s going to be so dominant if he keeps on this trajectory.

You do this too well. JG might slide into your DMs with a job offer.

That’s where the plot went off the rails. He should have stayed dead. But Cane as a con artist playing on the grief of Jill and the Chancellors at least could have been more interesting than what played out. His characterization was all over the place, and he should have been a short-term character ultimately. And the casting was all wrong, of course.

I feel like a lot of the stories of that era on Y&R (from the initial Adam story to Cane as the imposter P3) seemed promising on paper. But MAB and her co-writers (Hamner, Sheffer, JG) lacked the skill to execute them without devolving into cheap camp.

Why do we need a “To be continued…” on a fücking soap opera? 😂 @Veesaid they’d never pair Terry with anyone the show actually cared about. Hence digging deep into the archives.

Lol. That’s definitely part of it, but it’s also odd writing. TempTaggart said, “One mo’ gin” regarding Esme’s name.

Sam and Carly talk about Maxie being kidnapped by Peter as if they were making idle chat about the weather. Reminded me of Alexis and Sam being sorta “meh” over Luke’s death.

LOL at Thomas’s impersonation of Brooke. That came all too naturally for Matthew Atkinson.

Siiiigh. Such a good scene. AD was such a singular presence. She would have been more interesting as a Phyllis rival than SW, but of course they’d have had to write it differently. Alex would have instantly deflated a lot of Michelle’s antics. The shot of Phyllis through the handle of Diane’s purse was such a nice touch.

Ah, the series Kate McKinnon dropped out of. She does look good. JLaw is doing the movie version.

Totally a sitcom. I can’t with Billy’s “Man in the Mirror” speech.

It’s certainly a risk, as the Gossip Girl revival has shown. The Gale Harold stans aren’t happy that this isn’t a continuation. (But even the new L Word got pilloried with most of the original cast back.)

I don’t really mind it. The reality is that there’s just too much content out there for people to wade through without a recognizable title attached. This show sounds loosely like QAF, in that it’s about a group of friends, but that’s about it. I love the diversity and the New Orleans setting. I just hope it doesn’t get bogged down in black/brown/trans trauma and remembers to be fun and sexy.

GT would be a great addition to any soap. Although I shudder at some of the cartoonish Grand Guignol faces we might see in an emotional scene between her and Maura.
