Is Lauren going off the deep end or what? That sudden mood-change really peaked my interest. Someone's going psycho!

She is slowly coming apart. She needs some help and pronto or she is going to go into total meltdown mode. I had to laugh at Michael when he had the diaper on his shoulder while talking to the judge and then quickly snatched it off .

LOL, Katherine's excitement about Extreme Catwalk is hilarious! To Jill: "Is that Extreme Catwalk? DO IT!" I can totally see her and Esther watching something like that.

ETA: My bastard of a CBS affiliate went to a commercial 20 minutes in and never came back! Now I'm watching fricking JEAPARDY! They better show B&B/ATWT!

Today's show was all right for me. I have to admit that the show's been getting better lately.

ITA that the show is getting better. I think that LML is just now really getting s/l to the point she wanted them to go. Once the relizzzzzzzzzzzzzz s/l is over, things should get much better.

Lauren is really freaking out something terrible. Today, she was gonna leave with the baby and just panicked. I really think that her being paranoid stems from when Sheila took Scotty and that's why she doesn't want anyone to be with the baby if she's not around.

My CBS affiliate did that too. I think it was a CBS problem, but the show came back on like 10 minutes ago.

They're showing the second half of the show again in my area. Never got to see the first half of the show. The local TV station has repeatedly been running a crawl saying that CBS in New York is experiencing technical problems, interrupting Y&R. They are fixing the problem as quickly as possible. My guess is that they'll put the first half or all of the episode online on the CBS website for those that missed it. They've done that recently when a press conference for Rummy's resignation interrupted part GL's ITL/election episode.

Here in Nashville the screen was black for the first 5 minutes or so. Then theyy played a Randy Travis video.

Yand R came on.We saw Nick and Phyliss,Gloria chasing Ashley at the elevator,Lauren freaking out,Paul telling Michael about Carmens car,Jill telling Kay about the TV show,etc,etc. At the half hour mark,everything started to repeat! It is like the Ground Hog Day movie with Bill Murray---everything is repeating! LOL!

If they are having problems maybe they will repeat it overnight.

They never brought the show back or explained where it went. Now B&B has been playing with a buzzing sound that comes and goes.

Luckily I have SOAPnet or I'd have to put someone in a headlock.

I need to catch those Winter's scenes.

Stephanie you should definitely try downloading them! We didn't even have Lily to stink up the joint. It's pretty hilarious how she's become an extra and Devon is the new star of the Winters family.

But yes, it was a very good week for the Winters, the Chancellors, Lauren and we even got some fierce Ashley Abbott action. Amber was on, but she didn't really do much. Thankfully her harsh red lipstick is gone so she didn't look as bad.

They are NOT downplaying the VR/CK dislike onscreen are they? Damn.

LOL! I've noticed that they haven't had any intimate mother/daughter scenes since DS left the role. Whenever they're in scenes together, it's always in group scenes and they always have people in between them. Maybe it's just coincidence, but it seems weird. They've hardly had lines between them. I can't even think of one conversation that Dru and Lily have had with each other lately. And I'm not talking about Lily talking to both parents or to the whole family.

By the way, due to the technical issues that pre-empted Y&R in some areas, it will re-air late night in some places. Here's the list from CBS.com:

Oh wow, they're replaying it in my area. I'm surprised! One thing though, it's a lot of markets (some very big) so I can't imagine how the ratings will be.

^I know. Watching with Devon between them the other day in the judge's chamber, it felt like he was the referee And then at the boutique, NEIL calls for Lily. And then the UN-subtle annoyance glances they share. Wow, just wow.

In regards to CK's Lily, I've always said that I don't think LML would want to fire Davetta who she hired and retooled the role of Lily for. What we see on screen is basically proof of that. They completely wrote her out of the story for heavens sake. When Latham likes a character she's shown that she will regularly write for them for a certain period of time. Lily has been completely replaced with Devon.

I bet one of the higher ups suggested Khalil's return and when Latham saw what she had to work with she adjusted her plans.

Yeah, I've noticed the Winters scenes. Whenever Lily and Dru are in a scene together, there are other people in the scene as well. I really hope that ends. I would like to think that Christel and Victoria are more professional actresses and IF they have drama with each other, they can put it behind them and do their jobs. I've always enjoyed the Dru/Lily relationship with both Christel and Davetta in the roles.

I think they will eventually have to put Dru and Lily back together, but Rowell/Khalil have zero chemistry together. I remember their scenes before were always so tense and Rowell looks so annoyed with her. With Davetta there was a certain spark that caused everyone to fall in love with the relationship.

Even when we do get this back I don't expect it to be as showcased as it was with Davetta.
