I get so mad how much I’ve warmed up to JPL as Phillip this go round. JKJ will always be my preferred Phillip but the hatchet job RC did on the character when he was last there, I understand why and if he’d never come back. JPL was SOOO hammy when he first came back I couldn’t stand it but he’s toned it down and I actually really enjoy some of the humor and light hearted ness he’s infused into the character. Also he has the necessary chemistry with Lauren Koslow that I require from anyone playin one of Kate’s kids.

It would be such a shame to lose Ric again but I’m biased as he’s been my favorite character on the show since the early 2000’s. I actually think I missed all the years he was off the show as I also dropped GH for years so it’s been nice having him back basically the whole time I’ve been back watching. Rick Hearst just like Maura West is a total chemistry magnet with just about everyone he interacts with, whether it be friendly, loving, or antagonistic. I hope the show appreciates that because they clearly didn’t give a [!@#$%^&*] that Maura and Rick had perfect chemistry. I’m actually shocked how quickly they would end a pairing that was perfect.

Could someone perhaps DM me a link for London. I’m seeing loads of positivity here and on Reddit for it and @DaytimeFan you saying it gives Melbourne could not be a bigger ringing endorsement as I honestly would put seasons 1-4 of Melbourne against any of the top US seasons, that’s how highly I view those seasons of Melbourne. I never saw season 5 and I really have no interest in watching without both Giner or Lydiot. The core cast of Melbourne was perfect even the ones I didn’t like.

I think this can only help the show. Not being able to respond to what’s working and not working because you’re 6 months ahead is how we got RC and Body and Soul basically making the show unwatchable.

Doesn’t want to play forum police, proceeds to play forum police. Two posts about the taping schedule is not a big deal.

I definitely want Drew shot but not murdered. It’s nice to have a villain that isn’t just a rival mob boss that I hope kills Sonny.

He thinks it works because Y&R fans refuse to stop watching the show. I myself am guilty of still pulling up an episode every now and then on my DVR when I’m bored.

Omg the way that man chewed the scenery. I was shocked there was anything left after most of his scenes.

My god Drew is the absolute WORST. He doesn’t even have to be this evil, he just chooses to for his own damn amusement at this point. I can’t wait for everyone to start pulling out their guns and talking to themselves. Ric read Kristina down! I loved every second of it. Man they really truly are putting a nail in Ric and Ava damn.

Whole seasons revolving around off camera off season antics and people that aren’t even cast members is KILLING these shows.

I despised Eric as Ethan. But honestly I hated just about every single recast from the original actors on Passions. I also hated when Eric replaced Kyle as Brady. I eventually accepted him. I’ve grown to appreciate Christel but I really liked Davetta who was definitely the perfect mini Dru. I actually liked that the temp recast understood Theresa was actually an awful person even as a fan of Lindsay.

Right?! I really thought it was just coincidence when they met at Uptown!

This is probably my favorite look TT has had on the show. She looks so GOODT.

I hate you omg 😂😂

This is DEFINITELY going to bring Dani and Bill closer.

I have no problem with the obvious person being the kidnapper. They’ve shown that Allison is unhinged so it makes sense. I don’t like twists just for the sake of it. Predictable doesn’t always equal bad.

Oh thank god!

Wait a [!@#$%^&*] minute! They better not be killing off Ric!!! @Taoboi

I was curious about that as well especially given Chelsea made a big show of introducing Madison to literally everyone in her family as her girlfriend EXCEPT for Bill.

Holy cow 6 months 🙌🏽🙌🏽

The online black audience is so into the show. Outside of my own enjoyment, I’m so excited my people have a daytime drama full of other people that look like them and it’s actually entertaining to boot. I only pop in this thread on occasion now because I actually like the show and seeing so many people here not like it kinda takes the fun away for me.

Is it even cheating at this point? Neither Ric nor Ava seems to care about the other at this point.

It’s actually funny to see how different perceptions are away from this board.

I did better old age makeup when I was in college theater 😂😂. It’s freaking Atlanta, we do not have a shortage of older actresses they could've used here 😂

I actually love the through line of Ric always loving Liz but letting Ric and Ava actually have some real time to scheme and love each other was still possible at the same time. Cody literally hasn’t had to do anything at all to break them up.
