Man Paul I felt for you man. And he is soooo right. "She is just a psychopath." There is no need for any more to be said. Doug Davidson was good. :)

I can't wait for Korbel to shut Jana up tomorrow!

I wish Brad's story wasn't so dumb, because I kind of like Colleen interacting with her grandma.

Ohhh and Korbel made JT THINK today. The power of knowledge.

ETA: Glad that Dru SHUT gullible Neil up. She doesn't need to hear you defending that loser right now.

Steph, you should watch more often, I think the show has been really solid lately! Todays episode was pretty shocking, is Maggie REALLY dead? I didn't hear that and I'm devestated! :( Hopefully they bring back my dear Bug.

Adrienne Leon is rocking the place, I love how she strolls in with her fabulous coat and just kicks ass. I wish they would keep her more like this, less desperate.

I loved her lines to Victoria. "If I needed your permission, I would have asked." I love snarky Colleen, not the one that acts like she's in high school.

I had a really weird dream last night that me, Lily and Amber were all in high school together... and everyone gathered in the yard outside after class to watch Lily and Amber kick each other's asses. But in my dream, Amber had short, spikey hair.

LoL I really don't remember the details (who kicked whose ass). I just remember that I was talking to Amber in the girl's bathroom (because, apparently, I'm a girl in my dreams?) and she told me to hold her bag... she had somebody's ass to kick, LoL!

It was obvious that they are gearing up for Sharon and David to get closer together..

1. Sharon getting to talk to David more will eventually prompt her to have that conversation with Dru when she says

'Dru, maybe David isn't such a bad guy. I don't think he's the one that has been threatening you."

2. Will pull her away from Jack more; especially with what's to come for Phyllis (Sheila), you know that Jack will once

again gravitate towards her.

Either way it plays out, David and Sharon will be the new couple soon in the city of Genoa City.

Pheila was amazing today! When she shot Maggie, my mouth literally dropped. No emotion involved at all. Poor Paul. And I was just starting to like Maggie too :(

Surprisingly, Colleen was tolerable for me today. She's pissed that Victoria told Brad and she's not hiding it. Victoria needs to mind her own business. But when you have no life, you have to meddle in other people's I guess. There's only so much excitement being married to George Kaplan/Brad Carlton.

I thought for sure when Sharon mentioned Carmen's sister and Dru sent JT for more information that they were going to say Carmen has a twin sister. Glad they're not going down that route. I'm not at all interested in a David and Sharon pairing. I find David's character boring and definitely nothing that should be long-term.

I missed yesterday's show, so for the first scene with Nick and Phyllis, I thought it was Pheila. Phyllis was acting strangely at the beginning. I was like, did the switch happen already? :lol:

Actually liked today's show. Good job, Y&R!

I totally LOL on that line. God, MS totally rocks. I also loved the fact that Maggie knew that Shield was not Phyllis immediately. When MS started doing the Phyllis voice -- "Oh, I'm Phyllis Abbott, I mean Newman married to that hunky Nick." It was hilarious. Wow. She has really pulled this off. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

The past few epis have been great. Excellent balance with all the different stories playing on different days and mixing it up so that one story isn't dominating: Carmen, Reliquery, Phiela, Adrian/Colleen, Cain/Amber, Jill/Katherine. So much going on. The show is rocking!

    • @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.
