Ravi should be shirtless checking out his body all the time. I thought Aaron Thiara did a good job with his confrontation of Harry and Nicola. There was a lovely tiny little moment when Yolande wiped the tears/runny nose from Patrick's face. Such an intimate moment but I swear I don't think RW knew she was going to do that, he seemed to be surprised LMAO at Jasmine on the back of the milk truck (amusing writing, terrible acting) and her recording herself killing someone. I mean...

Never seen this awesome pic of supporting longterm characters before! Thanks to Dallas Fanzine.

That's the sense I got about Arthur too. Hopefully that's not the way it goes.

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!

OMG, who is this fabulous psycho bitch Celia? I checked in (usually do once a year, but my interest isn't held for long) and I certainly want to watch more of this. Charity is annoying AF as always, but intrigued by this pregnancy story. I even liked Moira! Miracles can happen!

Did my yearly check-in lol Found the couple episodes I watched (albeit a small sample) quite watchable. A little less depressing than usual. I don't need that much Max but found that Kat/Zoe scene on the bench quite touching. I will keep checking in.

I'm just waiting for the 6 episodes to air so I can binge them! It's doing incredibly well on HBO Max and Crave has renewed it for season 2!

It's definitely hard to guess what the climax would've been! Perhaps there was no other way to end it BUT to blow it up lol That being said, I do think the point was the journey more than anything else. Somebody needs to find Dunne and get him to tell us where he would have taken it lol

I honestly could see the seeds of what became of Joshua from the very beginning. Perhaps it happened a bit faster than it needed to, but Dunne did not waste time with things lmao As for Empire Valley, I don't know about always, but the basics of it were definitely laid out by the last third of season 6 - seemingly a new, modern, environmentally progressive community that was hiding an international communications center. They did NOT repeat a Lotus Point story. The real mystery is, where would it have gone in Season 7? I have no doubt Peter Dunne would've done a fantastic season-long arc with it, or something that led to the next arc. Sadly, Paulsen had no clue where to go with it (although I did like Gary blowing it all up).

Absolutely NOT! She's been feeeeding us the last few years and I hope she doesn't slow down anytime soon! Delivers every. single. time.

Kylie gave us another BOP with Hot in December and is back to no. 1 with her renewed, reissued KYLIE CHRISTMAS (Fully Wrapped)! Queen is Queening!
