Something tells me that some fans are not going to be too happy about Ava's comments to Allie.

I’m curious if CK dictated the no-black-guy edict (which I’m skeptical about) or if Y&R imposed it. As it stands, CK has certainly had more A-story opportunities than any non-Latinx actress of color in daytime in the past 10-15 years, perhaps because her “racial ambiguity” made it safe to pair her with the show’s golden [read: white] boys. As we’ve seen, Y&R has repeatedly marginalized its black male characters. Cane, who wasn’t particularly well-drawn, had a whole family built around him (played two of the most famous soap actors ever) after his Chancellor ruse was uncovered. Would a black male character been offered that same level of development? Would Lily have been given (ridiculously SORASed) children if paired with a black man?

Potomac reunion trailer has dropped...

James Wlcek is and always has been gorgeous.

Helen Gallagher is still with us at 94. I wonder how she’s doing these days.

Watching Grey’s again, and I forgot how annoying I found the Sorkin-esque style of every scene requiring a rambling, self-indulgent monologue. 

I’m Team No One in the Chris/Michael fight. They both behaved like twats there, and I can’t stand Michael.

The trailer for the Wendy Williams Lifetime movie:

B&B is a tragic mess. Y&R is a big shrug, aside from the possibility of Nina sticking around?

They’re taking over Joy Reid’s weekend slots officially, Cross on Saturday and Capehart on Sunday.

Yeah, it’s huge.

Even though the writing here was shallow, Lily and Billy talking about how their parents’ relationships affect their own romantic relationships is the type of conversation I wish more soap characters had more often, and not just as a nod to history during a 12,000 episode week. It’s a conversation real people have.

I can’t imagine how crappy it must feel when a temp recast is better received than you are, à la Lindsay Korman/Kelly Monaco on GH or now Justin Gaston/Donny Boaz here.

I’ll just say that MO is blessed. Hubby is smokin’ hot.

Might I say that Abby/Chance were actually sort of cute and fun today? I don’t usually say that about soap couples these days.

It feels like every time I tune into DAYS, someone’s pulling a gun on someone.

It's a tricky situation no matter what Billboard does - people will always find loopholes and ways to game to the system. Whether that's Sony/Tommy Mottola discounting quite a few of Mariah Carey's singles in the 90's at $0.49 in order to push her singles to #1, or record companies and managers paying radio station programmers huge sums to play songs/artists in heavy rotation (back when radio airplay alone meant a high charting position in the early 00's), and now this. 

It’s tough, I know, but IMO the charts feel particularly off right now.

This show isn’t even trying.

B&B doesn’t deserve the actors who put their hearts into the drivel.

I'm with anyone who wants to see Sonny gone FOREVER but coming at Benard like this is wrong and shouldn't be applauded.

I agree. Totally blanked on his nasty opening comment to MB.
