Ok switching gears. Tomorrow in the USA it is Vincent Irizarry's debut as David Chow. Being Canadian I saw the episode today and I thought he was remarkable. I won't spoil it I will just say he gets under Dru's skin, and its only his first day :lol:.

I didn't have a problem with Nikki being there but what the HELL did she expect when the story came out? Jill was positively restrained considering and surely Kay must have expected some kind of lashing out! It was Katherine that started yelling in the first place! And when Nikki was all "Can't you see how hard this is for her?" Ugh! I really could see why Jill used to try and throttle Kay on a yearly basis. Her and Nikki came across so [!@#$%^&*] sanctimonious. I thought the acting was top notch all round (even MTS though Nikki pissed me off royally). Jill really did have every right to slap Nikki silly and throw her out but I guess she was too preoccupied.

As far as the story's concerned, theoretically it's perfectly sound. As so many have said, it fits in with the past and finally reignites the feud in a way that isn't entirely contrived. Latham understandably wasn't willing to undo the mother/daughter thing and there was no way to spark real lasting conflict from the present without it being incredibly contrived. Delving into the past was the only real way to do it.

Execution admittedly isn't great. I don't like the psychic involvement or Kay's sudden dreams...even though it's snoozeworthily B&B, maybe Kay should have bumped into this Violet woman who would know her but not vice versa. Violet would hound her, maybe blackmail her about something Kay had no memory off. She wouldn't believe it until she went to therapy and had the flashbacks.

Nevertheless I think the gaps are being filled with the dialogue. Neither Nikki or Jill accepted the story immediately. There's this feeling in the air that maybe Kay's losing it and all those niggling questions that would come up are arising in the dialogue.

Ah, yes! I saw him in that preview and got excited. I had forgotten all about him coming to Y&R, LoL

He looked so goooood in that preview! MMMM. It's amazing what a show with good makeup, lighting, hair and wardrobe can do for a person's looks, LoL.

Exactly! It's like Nikki just wanted Jill to say, "Oh, Katherine... it's okay. It must've been so hard for you to tell me this. So you stole my child and gave me a total stranger to raise, but it's okay... I don't want to upset you. I love you, mommy." WTF?! That [!@#$%^&*] wouldn't fly if I was Jill.

Jill should've cracked both their heads together (HARD) and left 'em to die on the living room floor together.

Nikki is an evil, judgemental whore. I've always hated Nikki on a personal level, but I do enjoy the character. The problem with her is that she has no conflict. Diane and Ashley are gone, Sharon isn't married to Nick and she loved Phyllis and Victor right now. When given good stuff MTS can pull it off, but she always seems to get the short end of the stick. Same with Jill mainly because she has no family or friends.

BTW, do tell us more about David Chow! Any chemistry with Dru? Looking in the long term I want them for a romance.

Chris, I did see some chemistry yes. Its not hard though when you put two talents like Victoria and Vincent together :lol: Wet blanket Neil though came in and ruined it because up until that point in the scene Dru and David had been alone.

      I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it

      Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

      Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!

      For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
