Well, the time has come....The Pheila/Phyllis face to face is about to take place this week, and it's taking taking its toll on Lauren, Michael and Paul....

Expect to see more Amber stuff, possibly her bonding a little bit more with a certain married man.....

Sharon decides to help her friend in need by getting closer to the enemy.

Victoria spills the beans to Brad about his daughter.....

Jack has a confrontation with someone of the political relm....and the news for Jill and Kay arrives....

So, you all know the drill: Let's talk the GOOD, the BAD and of course the downright UGLY of Y&R this week.

Speaking of annoying and pointless character - I know it's not exactly this thread's purpose LOL! - this Cane guy gets on my last nerve. Enough already!

I'm still catching up and stuck half-way last week but this is oh so intriguing character is full of hot air. Please don't let him end up as Jill's son. The writing is that piss-poor obvious taht I can just hope LML - the mistress of crazy lunatic stuff - is using this as ploy of distraction.

Is this show watchable yet? I've tuned out for the past two weeks because all the characters are going around in boring circles.

I read the SOD recap and I think Jack is showing his true colors by going after Phyllis again and Sharon is buying a clue.

Okay, this is what I want to know: who's going to wind up having a drug problem after all this Sheila drama is over with?

Will it be Lauren, who's been edge on months, and the owner of the prescription medication?

Will it be Michael, who's been wigging out everytime he looks at Sheila then runs into Phyllis shortly after?

OR: Will it be Paul, who's had this nut job locked up in her own cell for months now, and seems to be reaching some sort of breaking point?

On another note, "Who the Hell cares what 's in Korbel's funky briefcase? They are really making Colleen play the "I gotta have some from the hot prof." really well.

The reliquary or course was dull....but I will be glad when they show who the person is that is ear hustling on the surveillance system...I say is the professor himself....but then again, they are doing a good job at making us think that he's the bad guy.

WTF Jana going into other people's property?

Victor/Victoria/Brad/Rebecca HATE. Please NEVER give Don Diamont a LEAD story AGAIN!

Maggie is supposed to be a tough cop but gets taken down by Sheila with a simple choke hold? Whatever

Tracey looked great today!

Dru should have just quickly handed over the phone to Neil while Carmen was talking.

LOL, I know they're trying to make Dru look "crazy" but that was so stupid when Dru could have quickly handed it to Neil, or put it on speaker. ARGH.

I wonder if Brad's character can ever be redeemed?

The previews show Nikki/Jill/Kay tomorrow. Woot.

Brad is Snooozeville compared to some of the other folks on the show....

That would be too easy for them to have Dru hand over the phone as soon as she heard Carmen's voice....Why do I get that whole "Sream" vibe going on LOL...that's what it seems like to me, like someone has one of those voice altering systems to use when they call :lol:

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
