10th week for Adele.

Steffy and Thomas peeking at Ridge and Taylor through the door like two 10-year-olds is so grating. Diamond White/Paris is gorgeous but such an awkward kisser. Any day with shirtless Carter is a good day.

Badr from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

It’s super annoying to watch Adam actively irritated with two women who can’t get enough of him. Also, this cheap show refuses to update its opening. How long has Courtney Hope been featured as a frontburner contract star on Y&R without an intro shot?

Johnny from Atlanta 🇺🇸

A good read.

Bao from Thailand 🇹🇭

Alan should flat out ask her if she’d accept an offer on one of the remaining soaps if asked.

These shows don’t really know to use these aging former ingenues who have grown children.

Lol. These Alan Locher memes are killing me.

Regina was on with her son for Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper’s NYE special (1:30 in):

Cody from France 🇫🇷

Saw this follow-up:

It really does feel like they’re leaning into a light, family-friendly vibe. Like the viewers are too delicate for anything heavy. I’m glad we didn’t get a Devon/Abby custody battle—that wouldn’t have done anyone any good—but this show will tease a bit of explosive potential drama, then immediately defuse it.

I think they feel like they are honoring real Y&R. It used to be a great way to have all sorts of dissimilar characters mixing it up, working in different roles that highlighted different sides of characters (Dru modeling, Ashley in the lab), backstabbing, and forming alliances. But they’re no longer able to properly dramatize these stories. Jabot doesn’t even have a set. Most of the business happens at lunch, which ok. But it’s a lot of tell and no show.

One of Ron’s crutches. He should be embarrassed at this point for going back to that well so often. But nope.

Quinn being MIA feels like a missed opportunity with Brooke unraveling due to the kiss with Deacon and Paris crushing on Carter. Brooke and Paris are women who’ve gotten on Quinn’s bad side in recent months, and she’d be eating all of this up.

I totally agree with that. Unpopular opinion, but they would have made Elizabeth Leiner (Tara) work too.

Wait so is Craig on DAYS having an affair with a man, supposedly ? I get that KS is out now, but…

There used to be an art to a BI with hints and puns, but they clearly don’t want to alarm their soap contacts. But yeah most of these could be anyone. #2 did jump out to me.
