I mean, meh. It made no sense for him to go finally when he had a sort of “purpose” with Sally and as a thorn in the side of the Abbotts. Still, hard to get excited about anything Y&R these days.

That’s awful. I saw she fell after climbing up to get a better look at the full moon. Just a terrible tragedy.  
 

This was so startling when it came out.

Kandy’s getting slaughtered on Twitter for her stank ‘tude. 

Whew, chile. Kandy and Tamisha brought the drama tonight.

I could somehow get on board the surrogacy story. Infertility is a reality for many of us. But there's no care or attention to any detail here.

 

What about Chance and Abby going to doctors? Learning what different options are available? Maybe they meet with possible adoption agencies?

 

And why not build up to Mariah's decision -- discussions about how it'll affect her body, how about how she'll feel about letting the baby go after carrying for nine months?

 

And when did Abby and Mariah become BFFs? Another insta-friendship. 

Y&R lacks the patience or forethought to tell a story well, with all the details and beats, and rushes to unearned destinations. Other “stories,” like the Adam stuff, stay in holding patterns, yet we understand Adam no better than we did a year ago. Or ten years ago. It’s just a totally dissatisfying viewing experience.

That’s clever.

Carter looks like such an idiot in this story. He couldn’t be more one-dimensionally written.

@Faulkner I like Adams but his acting is just average. I still recall his horrible acting during the Kayla storyline that's why I posted his shirtless pic when you said he was good. He's not good with dramatic scenes. But at least he's not a diva like others on the show.

I thought he really committed today, which was a welcome change for him. I usually don’t think much of him. He’s been very “deer in the headlights” for most of this rape story.

Here's the reel. Ignore Liam's crying though lol

 

 

There are glimpses of a great, character-driven drama on B&B, which makes its usual inanity that much more intolerable.

As much as I hate his Ridge, TK has a reel there too.

Why? Was he looking like this today?

LOL no. You are so waiting for some bro-cest, aren’t you?

I think Heather Tom needs to sit this year's Emmys out. If anyone from B&B deserves an Emmy this year, its Jacqueline MacInnes Wood. Her work during the Steffy's addiction storyline was amazing.

I think JMW is great, and she’s an actual lead. They certainly gave her a reel out of that rushed, stupid story.

Lucas Adams is good today. 

Kelly and Ryan did one of the last (perhaps the last) interviews with Ms. Tyson. They aired it today and paid tribute to her.

It’s particularly egregious with Heather Tom. She’s not in any way, shape, or form a Lead Actress of this show. She’s barely a Supporting Actress these days. She drives no story. They trot Katie to rage, snot, and have heart attacks for an episode or two each year, and they reap the benefits at the Emmys, which shows how much that system is broken.
 

You’d think Bradley would be like, “Hmmm, that Heather is pretty talented. Let’s give her actual stories.” They never do.

Mo should just embrace the grey hair and set the black shoe polish aside, like Christian LeBlanc has. He looks a lot better.

@Faulkner I'll give him an 8 out of a possible 10 score.

C’mon. Those perky nips poking out of that Chevron shirt are worth at least an 8.5.
