Antoyne

I’m still gobsmacked about the handing of Jagger’s death but I shouldn’t really be surprised. Why would Sonny ever face consequences for shooting someone point blank.

Intrigue was there as soon as the elevator moment happened. And then the complete change in demeanor of her daughter once they were home. I have very high hopes. I’m enjoying the casting already.

Lol yeah the Imani stuff went absolutely nowhere and Nate got bored with Elena after a week. But I did like all the tension and underlying subtext like you said.

She did it so well. Loved every second of it. I said from watching the specials I was most intrigued by her and her daughter. It’s only Wednesday and I live. I feel like after three episodes, I get the Dupree family. I’m loving the family gathering scenes as well. I think what I love about Vernon is that he seems like a good and mostly clean Patriarch that truly loves his family and not in that dirty Victor Newman way which is so old and tiring. Vernon feels like a throwback to old school patriarchs.

Holy cow when you read it written all out, it’s so so good! And the best part is, when it’s actually featured, all of the actors truly deliver. It really is the only reason I’m watching right now and it’s not lost on me that the main story I’m enjoying is the black story. Every now and then the Hastings/Winters get a bone thrown their way and I’m always invested. This might be their best story since Neil died and they took over as the remaining Winters clan. And it’s mainly been fixed on Nate while now naturally bringing in Lily and Devon, moreso Lily. Loving it. Wish I could move them to BTG 😂 Sharon being kidnapped again does not interest me.

Drew is really playing with fire here lying on Jason in his face to the cops. And Willow looks like an idiot because of course, poor Drew would never lie. How dumb do you have to be to not realize Jason would NEVER use Drew as an alibi unless he was actually with Drew. Willow likes to say she’s not being manipulated but my god she’s an idiot. She actually deserves to have all of this blow up in her face.

Wanted to mention I thought the nurse training the white nurse was really good. The actress has me wanting to see more of her on the show.

You just know her main focus was supposed to be Karen. She foolishly didn’t prepare anything at all for her lies and behavior the whole season and her tears feel hollow and performative. Some of my friends said she could come back for redemption but I pointed out to them that it would require Mia to stop lying which I don’t think she’s capable of.

Thoroughly enjoyed episode two. Nicole and her husband had INSTANT chemistry. The most chemistry on the show thus far. Loved that we got introduced to even more sets today. And I will echo everyone that the hospital set looked much better today. Ooo the look the scheming mom gave to Nicole’s husband before that elevator closed gave me life, and I need to know more ASAP! I don’t see any chemistry between Martin and his husband. I’ve also never been impressed with Mike Manning as an actor on anything I’ve seen him on so there’s that. Dani’s ex truly is a piece of work and I’m going to thoroughly enjoy getting to know him more. That was definitely a vieled threat to the Dupree patriarch if he doesn’t get that wedding filled out with guests.

It took my second watching to realize Jacob and Andre weren’t the same character 🤦🏽‍♂️

Oh then yeah, he can go.

Who is Derek? Is that the fireman?

It doesn’t help that MCE had much better chemistry with both MM and Justin Hartley as Adam. I feel zero connection between her and Gossman. He actually had chemistry with Sally so of course they never even made it a year either time they were a couple.

This is exactly where I’m at. What a delusional ho, but I want to see more. She definitely drew me in.

When was the last time Anna was actually written as smart 😂

It’s more than likely Ian Ward. He was revealed to not have actually died after the gun shot.

See I’m dead 😂😂 So my initial thoughts are, a lot of the over the top things from the trailers and teasers actually aren’t so abrupt now as it all makes sense and I get why these things have happened now. Hayley is a piece. of. work. Someone compared her to Brooke Logan and it makes perfect sense. I will agree with another post I saw that said some of the scenes felt very short, like GH short but they made up for it with some longer ones. They’ve gotta do something about that hospital set. It’s awful and way too brightly lit. I liked that the show just threw us all in. I feel like I understand a lot of these characters already just from day 1. Some of the acting was rough but I imagine the greener talents will get better with time hopefully. The random white couple did nothing for me.

They ate Mia ALLLLL the way up last night and I was totally here for it. No one even cared about her tears. Interesting that Jacqueline is so confident that the audience cares who her baby daddy is. Delusional really.

By this time tomorrow, we will all have witnessed history. I’m so excited.

I can’t remember their name but it’s the scheming mother and daughter duo.

We’re really down to less than 48 hours.

They have got to keep Amy around. Especially without Nate having Olivia around. They have such a nice mother/son vibe going. And she’s really helped to flesh out Audra as well. Those scenes with Amy and Damien on Friday were fantastic. Damien and Lily also have some chemistry. I stopped fast forwarding long enough to find out Phyllis is missing so I assume this is Ian continuing his plan.

So now I’ve seen two of Carly’s spawns murder someone. Feels appropriate on this show.

The Damian story with all characters involved is literally the only thing keeping me watching Y&R these days. Literally the only person that cares about seeing Victor take down Jack in 2025 has to be EB himself or Josh Griffith.

I caaaaant 😂😂
