Bleh. Chadam redux. Snooze. That pairing only worked somewhat with Justin Hartley as Adam, yet they keep trying to make fetch happen. That goes for the whole character of Chelsea, who is somehow still around more than halfway through the year of our Lord 2024. Sick of the sob story. Again, Mal Young made the right decision to bounce MCE, as talented as she is. One of the few good decisions he made during his disastrous tenure, and even then it was long overdue. Kyle’s bitter falling out with Diane (and Jack) could have potential, but like everything on Y&R it feels constrained by JG’s shallow writing and low budget.

I hope Sonja’s story doesn’t end tragically, but there are lots of reports of her out-of-control drinking from fans who’ve attended her shows and appearances as well. https://pagesix.com/2024/07/03/entertainment/jeff-lewis-sonja-morgans-drunk-behavior-was-worse-than-what-aired-on-wwhl-15th-anniversary/

Rublev also out in the first round:

I remember that Lori McNeil match. I was a huge Monica Seles fan and loathed Steffi, so I was thrilled. Marketa loses all 2,000 of her points, which is a gag. And to lose in straights to a young player who herself lost in R1 last year.

And they left a visible stock-footage watermark on Sasha Calle’s intro slide a few years ago. The meticulousness that Y&R is known for has dipped dramatically.

Yikes at Marketa going out in the first round. 😱

It’s funny that there’s a death and the next few episodes are described as if everyone is like: Katie and Bill are zzzzzzzzz.

Beryl is already a Cat 4:
