Those scenes on Jan. 07th's episode where the doctor about to operate on Shona inadvertently insulted Bernie and later came back and she admitted how angry she was at Billy's death were so wonderful, and full of humanity. Not the type of scenes that would matter to the plot, or even make it into a synopsis, but heartbreaking and touching. Made all the better because neither one realized their connection.

Phew. That's a LOT of deaths/murders in just a handful of episodes. Celia, John, Ray, Bear (supposedly). And Joe - you naughty boy. At least he's very sexy.

Yeah, I don't trust they'll stick with changes, if any. But hopefully we're in for some good performances in the meantime.

Yeah, WTF cares?! BUT... if they were serious about him "changing", I could get behind that. I think that might be interesting. That flashforward (unless it is extremely misleading), showed there may not be any such intention.

I just had to sit back and accept the (somewhat entertaining) insanity of two psychos out-psychoing each other for Robert and Aaron. Really sad to see fabulous bitch Celia gone but that part of it made sense to me. Ray just suddenly turning up dead, too, however, felt VERY rushed. Guess we had to move on to the crossover... Not gonna lie, excited about Corriedale.

Processing that flashforward episode... I was mortified initially but a little intrigued by the end. It was supposed to function as a sort of year-long teaser/preview, I suppose, although I question the decision to show the entirety of what happens a whole year from now majorly. So, we already know the whole brouhaha about Max changing will mean nothing. And it's like being spoiled a whole year in advance. If I'm that interested in it, what's keeping me from just tuning in next year to see the resolution? Let's just hope they don't lose any of the actors that are present a year from now lol

Tyrone going after Kevin after he realizes Kevin left the pub and then reassuring him on the bench was very, very touching. Bless.

She is the only other one that could've made the show even a semblance of its past self -- and I believe she would've done better than that, barring interference and with the support of a good producer. The opportunity passed. Sadly, we shall never see that Y&R return, except maybe the final episode....

Yep. It is so bittersweet to see the utter competence. A show still alive with creativity, and capability. HNY! Are you in the US? Hoping to catch it live. And @Liberty City is working on getting it into the Vault. Only aware of those two. :)

Fabulous. One of the best moments of that year, and indeed the show.

The gasp I gasped when I saw Pat at the end of Monday's episode! And then that beautifully sad, often tender, Nigel episode. "I've let you down" - that scene brought me to tears, such wonderful acting all around. Young Phil was phenomenal. And such a classy touch bypassing the doof-doof.

Merry Christmas @soapfan770 and everyone else! Wishing you the best Holidays ever! 🎄

Thanks! She is really great (even down to the hair!). I may go back to the start of her story to check it out.

What a brilliant episode Monday's was. Very disturbing and hard to watch, but sensational. It's hard to do something unique 11,000 episodes in!
