Making my way through the November 1979 episodes. I'm not sure if this is still the Dobsons or Marland, but I am enjoying the show, despite its slow paced sleepiness. Whoever plays Ed Bauer is amazing (he gave a great reaction to hearing that Rita had an affair) and there is no denying how fabulous Rita is. Hope is one of the few characters my mother remembers from watching the show back in the 70s and I was so interested in seeing her. Whatever it is that's happening between her and Alan, I love it! There is this plot with a lady planning to poison her lodger with wine and I can't stop laughing. It's so weird but interesting too. Holly's cell is so unbelievable and unrealistic but I just love how the ghost of Roger and his actions (or 'that thing' as Holly puts it) lingers on and on and on.

Thanks! I think I agree that they could have found another way and a different setting to connect the Snyders to the rest that didn't involve quite such an ugly kitchen lol That could very well explain why he seemed to be in such a rush to deal with all of that. You might be right because I find it hard to believe he would actually plan all that incest/not incest/relatives/not relatives stuff from the very beginning. It does seem they probably wanted to do it but not make a huge deal out of it; still, pretty heavy stuff to just throw out there and move on so quickly.

The Snyders without the farm? I don't know if the Snyders or Marland would have been able to handle that! You are right -- as far as I can tell, they have been woven into the existing canvas pretty well (which is what you're supposed to do) but I'm sad to hear that stops being the case later on. Thinking about it, they've been around for what? Not even a year? And they have SO much story (not to mention there are SO many of them). If Marland wasn't such a great writer, I don't know how horrible this would all come off. I do wonder how people felt about them then.

The pace of the show sometimes stuns me. Not only does Iva tell Emma she was raped by cousin Josh and he was the father of her baby and then learns he's not her blood relative but, in the same scene, she learns that she was adopted and in the same scene Holden overhears, clearing the way for him to be with Lily. That's a lot of incest-removal for five minutes. It does seem a bit of an overkill how everyone has been adopted/not a relative and I would have expected Holden to be tormented a bit more but there is some lovely acting and you sort of just... go along with it.

That is infuriating. And it always seems to be Y&R and B&B that get the deleted/reported treatment. We really gotta make sure to let EVERY uploader know that, as much as they want to give their videos visibility by putting the show name on the title, they just can't.

LOL You know all this but don't know who Kay Alden is? Kay Alden was the long-time right hand/co-headwriter and eventual Headwriter of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Also worked on B&B. (as Associate HW or co-HW, not sure which)

George R.R. Martin warns us that http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/16/george-rr-martin-warns-game-thrones-season-5-will-surprise-0?asdf Non specific spoilers DAMN. I wonder what we're in for.

RHBH Between Lisa & Max and Eileen talking about losing two sisters, there were a LOT of tears on this week's episode for me. Lisa broke my heart. I think it was sweet of Eileen to try to bring Kim & Kyle back together, and I think she had the best of intentions/motivations, but I wish she hadn't gotten herself involved with that. Because, like I feared, they soon would turn against her... and Kim did. It's just a situation she shouldn't be put in. Yes. Yes. YES. #FLAWLESS. :wub: God. Thank you, DF, for this pure brilliance. DEAD at the Yolanda part.

Yes, they got married. He returned in 2002/2003 for a few months. He dated Diane and returned to work with Paul. He and Farren divorced. Everything I've seen with Farren bores me to death. Like, she's not horrible and the story is not horrible and yet... just meeeeeeeh.

OMG! I might have to watch this sh!tfest just to see this. Will he have to come alive in order to co-host? LOL

;)

Both of those look FANTASTIC. I hope the video delivers.

Excited to see it!

That article delivers some exciting tea. THE VIEW is a mess, on and off screen!

Ah I thought you did one of those things were you change the person's words & say fixed lol Silly me. Thanks!

What's fixed about it???

BOTH of them look fantastic. Geez!

SO EXCITED for the new episode! Will be catching up tomorrow.

I love the combination of the dress and shoe colors. Lovely!

Toups, your curse words aren't censored???

I am struck by that thought every time I see him. He is pure sex.

Thank God ratings went up for episode 3 with 324,000! Hope it continues. Maybe this will be the little show that can.

Finally saw episode 3. What amazingness. Patrick & Kevin are falling SO deeply in love. They are showing us so many sides, so many little moments, that the phone call in the end ends up being very painful. This is so not going to end well. I want it to, because I want Kevin to stick around. Thank God that, so far, it was only promo trickery that something happened with Richie and Agustin. I'm so glad that he apologized for his AWFUL behavior last year and is seeking to become a little better. Why am I not surprised that Dom plays rugby? LOL I don't really understand why he's so upset that Lynn wanted to help him but, at the same time, I get it. Doris and Malik are priceless. Doris is so funny. She earned every bit of that promotion.
