I was really pissed off at Andrea last night, but I am calmer and am trying to be more understanding this morning. It is very true that she has not seen Phillip at his worse. From her perspective, he is a little wacky and trigger happy, but fundamentally a good man trying to protect the citizens of Woodbury. However, how can she really take his word over Rick and the others in that group? How come Michonne could instantly sense Phillip's cray cray and Andrea has not? Andrea acts unphased by heads in a water tank, yet says that Rick has become "cold" and "unsteady." Is she for real? I always say that people remain who they were before during the zombie apocalypse and this goes for Andrea. She is the kind of woman who is attracted to powerful dangerous men (e.g., Shane and Phillip) and she does not look to closely at them so she does not have deal with the fall out of their actions. Until he does something where she cannot deny it, she will stick by him.

I am excited to see who the surprise cast member is. It's Beth! Emily Kinney.

The actress looks mid-20s, but the character might be 18 years old. Yeah, that is true.

Any chance they riddle Andrea with bullets? I would not complain. I think that Rick is back. Carl is a scary kid. I think that Rick should hook up with Beth. Andrea is so weak. She cannot even do what needs to be done. Not that it would matter. He would have killed her first.

Nah, I think that he and his group are desperate for somewhere safe. They don't have a clue what they are getting themselves into.

Damn Carol! Who knew she had that in her? Cold, calculating, but it is too late for Andrea to act. Sacha will be warming Phillip's bed from now on. Rick is such a good man. He gives her a gun and ammo despite everything.

"I did not realize the Messiah complex was contagious." Bwah! Michonne rules! Damn, Tyrese! Phillip eyeing Sacha. Andrea is about to be kicked out of his bed.

Shut the f' up, Andrea! Maggie needs to tell her what "Phillip" did to her. That SOB.

I am rooting for the walkers to eat Andrea at this point.

LOL! She is ridiculous. Ugh, that eye! I have tried to understand her perspective, but Andrea really is an idiot. Tyrese! I hope he and his people make it back to the prison soon.

So Andrea is finally buying a clue.

LOL! I am counting down the minutes to 9:00 p.m.

I saw this. It is pretty funny. Michelle Obama looked like she was having tons of fun.

Same here. Tyrion/Peter Dinklage rocks!

Another awesome trailer! I cannot wait. I am so glad that I will have another Sunday night thrilling show to watch after The Walking Dead has ended. I honestly don't know which one of these I love the most. Both shows give me an adrelin high.

I have come to like Sharon, but only because Sharon Case has grown as an actress. She has turned in some strong performances over the years. Josh Morrow is as wooden as he was his first day. He use to be a stud so at least he was good to look at, but I don't find him as attractive these days. LOL! That was my thought at the time. I could see Bobby lusting after Brittany, but no way was it believable that she would fall in love in him. I thought that Brittany worked with Raul and that was it. Initially, I figured that she would have a short fling with Bobby and go back to Raul, but it never happened. I still don't understand why Smith went in that direction. And after all of that manufactured story, Lauren left anyway. Next up, J.T. falling in love with Brittany and then Mac. RME. Please. It was these manufactured romances that ruined J.T. for me. When he was with Colleen, he loved her and was different when he was with her, but he was still apologetically snarky obnoxious with everyone else. Suddenly, he starts falling in love with every woman who passes his way and transforms into this boring good guy who everyone thinks is so great. It was like David Shaughnessy and Trent Jones left and Smith and Alden lost their minds, destroying the best parts of the show. Blah, again I say to Clementine Ford. I cannot believe that J.T. ended up stuck with Mac. Ugh. That the redemption of Kevin story that was the last straw for me with Y&R. It completely undermined the great story of Kevin preying on Lily and trying to kill Colleen. It made me roll my eyes and change the channel. Since then I have watched sporadically, but was never devoted as I was in previous years.

I meant recasting the roles, in 2004 under Smith and Alden before things went wonky. I will never understand Smith's thinking. He created this great young couple in J.T. and Collen and proceeded to throw them away. He could have simply recast the role of Colleen not long after he decided not to be flexible with Lyndsy. J.T. and Colleen were the backbone of that younger group and they had potential of giving years of romantic story much like Nick and Sharon. J.T. floundered as a character with Colleen which give LML the opportunity to ruin them and MAB to kill her off and write him out. I thought Ryan Brown was fine as Billy. I don't think that he got a real shot at making the role his own as they quickly wrote him out. I did not mind the second temp Mac. Rachel Kimsey's Mac, I simply did not like. Clementine Ford was atrocious as Mac. I also thought it was a huge mistake not to recast Raul if they were letting David Lago go. He was the only long term Latino character on Y&R. The show has not had one since. What was the story with Heather Tom? Didn't she want to come back, but they refused because there was bad blood when she left? At time, I remember thinking that it was ridiculous and that they should just have her back. She ended up on OLTL instead. Boy, has Y&R paid a huge price for that bad decision.

You are not alone. In 2004, Brittany got way too much airtime and inappropriate story. I don't blame EB for balking at Brittany and Bobby moving into the Newman Ranch. It was ridiculous and made absolutely no sense. She belonged in that younger group and should have stayed there. Even more incredulous, in a short period of time, Raul, J.T., and Bobby were all in love with her of all people when she was barely likable on one of her good days as if giving her a scar could magically change her personality. It was part of the problems that escalated by the end of 2004. Y&R started taking shortcuts to tell stories and lost track developing characters. I don't understand why they did not just recast Colleen, Raul, Billy, and Mac to keep that younger set intact and in perspective to the rest of the show.

Yep, the music is too loud, there is too much 70s porn music, and that Avery/Dylan song is so piss poor. It is just downright bad music. Someone said that JFP is friends with the band which is why is promoting their music. Her friends are everywhere helping ruin every soap she gets her hands on.

ITA. There is no comparing LML to MAB. LML did damage, but it was all repairable. Nothing that she broke could be unbroken by a half-way decent headwriter. Even when she killed off Dru, she made sure that her body was never found, leaving the door open for VR to return. What MAB did to Brad and Colleen was unforgivable. There absolutely no reason to kill off the character in such is horrible permanent way. She could have sent Brad off to do business in Europe or Asia. It would have left the door open for him to return one day. As for killing off Colleen, that was disgusting and indefensible. There was absolutely no justification for killing Colleen, none. And the trite fake manufactured drama way that she killed such an important character was cringeworthy. I still think that there has got to be way to bring back Colleen. I'd be willing overlook the incredulity to have her back.

MAB should be consigned to soap hell for writing off Ashley and killing Brad and Colleen. It is unforgivable.

Daphne Duplaix (Rachel, OLTL) just had a brief appearance tonight on The Mindy Project.

Thanks for the clips. It is great to see J.T. and the original Colleen again. I loved them so much. I was addicted to Y&R during their romance from 2002 to early 2004. J.T./Colleen and Dean/Jenna (Another World) have to be my top two teen soap romances although there were others that I loved like Zander and Emily.

I like this interpretation of Michonne's actions. I was so happy when she went running towards him, loping off heads. Hershel has become so important to everyone in the group. He is the voice of reason, comfort, and unconditional love. Losing him, which I think will happen eventually, will crush them all. Hopefully, Rick will be able to half-way sane by then.

Don't know who those people are, but they need a reality check. It is one thing to shoot zombies who are not shooting back, another to shoot at people who are several feet away and shooting back at you. They cannot just stand there, aim, and fire. They have to make sure that they do not get shot and duck for cover.
