Well Babe is dead and I can't believe Krystal is allowed to see the body! Only bc we know this is FAKE. That just seems harsh - and I know Krystal and Babe were wrong to Bianca and all - but I still think it's harsh to make Krystal think her daughter is dead and let her cry over her 'dead' body.

Anyway Bobbie Eakes - definitely wins the acting award - AMAZING! This is her Emmy reel for next year - already!

Chrishell is doing a great job as Amanda too today. Love her breaking down. Eden Riegel is doing good too for being conflicted over Babe's death.

Justin Bruening and Colin Egglesfield - I blame the writing, but their performances and reactions are BAD.

I don't know what to think about JR/Jacob Young yet. You'd think he'd be more upset, but Jacob is doing a good job with the teary eye, hard-a$$ thing.

Alicia is doing great with Kendall's scared/upset thing too. Ryan - just get the [!@#$%^&*] away!

Chrishell Stause is truly underused and underrated IMO. There is so much potential for Amanda to be more of a priority for this show besides a 1-episode-per-week player. She has really improved since she came on in 2005 and I want to see more of her! Today she really got to me - I want to be with her right now comforting her...she is definitely best friend material. Ok, I'll stop with my Amanda-is-love...LOL.

Anyway finally we see Di, conveniently at Wildwind...hmmmm. She should have been at the hospital.

Great Bianca/Zoe scenes today!

I think that Tad told Krystal that Babe is alive. He leaned over and we didn't see what he was saying, but it was for a moment. Enough time to say that she was alive. Than Julia comes and takes her to another room. I think he told her because if they let her believe that Babe is dead, that could harm the baby she is carrying.

But yes, Bobbie Eakes is ROCKING these scenes!

To me, it doesn't seem like Unabortion is upset. He is mad, but not devastated. His eyes are so dry, you think he could squeeze a tear or something. Zoe is crushed and Zoe isn't obsessed with Babe like Josh is.

Is it me, or does JR look smokin hot today????

You know what they say about karma.

I doubt this will be some sort of epiphany for Krystal or Babe, making them realize what they put Bianca through. Hell, Bianca doesn't even remember what she went through.

I can't believe freakin' Krystal gets to have an hour long soliloquy over Babe's corpse and Dixie's death is glossed over. This is just...it's really inconceivable.

Love the music! Finally Unabortion is showing emotion.

Spike is adorable! I hate that Ryan is taking him when Kendall obviously needs him, but understand for the safety of the child.

I used to hate Amanda, but she has grown so much as a actress. I love her and the fact that Jonathan is comforting I like.

Bobbie was the strongest performer the entire episode and I would say she set the bar for the strongest performence of the year thus far. Chrishelle has improved soo much since her last time around I agree. She is a strong little actress.

I have to say Eden phoned in her performence today. It was lack luster at best. I have no clue what Bianca was supposed to be. Was she sad? was she angry? was she happy? was she releived? was she torn? conflicted? did she feel Babe needed to die to get revenge for what she did to her? Eden is one of my favorite actresses but I was bewildered trying to figure out what the heck she was trying to get across on film today.

Jacob to didn't have the best day. I have no clue what he felt either and add that with my complete and utter disdain for the character and it's not a good combo. I thought he did good in the last scene "I don't understand" but he made no sense to me the entire episode. I didn't get any feel of sadness from his character.

Alicia did a good job. Thou I didn't like that Kendell took up a third of the show saying good bye to Spike I felt that Alicia did a good job with the scene.

I guess Di doesn't care about Babe dying. Neither does Del, Jonathan or any of the other wildwind tenants.

I really enjoyed today's show. I expected it be very Babe heavy and have characters unrealistically mourning Babe when they wouldn't normally do that. They just wouldn't. They'd be touched and sad that another girl died, but they wouldn't be grieving her that obviously. I was glad it didn't go that route.

CS was good, but she was a bit over the top. I needed a few more scenes of Amanda/Babe to show me what dear friends they'd become. It was all kinda off.

ER did great, IMO. She doesn't know yet how to deal with the issue of Babe being gone. Babe was a HUGE part of her life for good or bad. Sometimes it takes more than 20 minutes for the finality to sink in and take effect. Especially considering the Babe/Bianca relationship. Seemed very realistic.

BE owned this entire episode. She rocked, and even though I don't think for a second Babe is dead, I felt for a mother losing her child. Mamadawl and Babydawl did love each other if they didn't love anyone else. BE sold it cuz I didn't think I'd care.

Kendall/Ryan/Spike was very moving. Lish was great as usual, but Cameron is so much better when he tones it down and plays down some of that arrogance that Ryan carries around. Ryan and Kendall's mature conversation was long overdue. I teared up at Spike crying when he had to leave his mommy. Good scene, and the kiss between Ryan/Kendall shows me there is still some tender feeling there. The writers drop the ball on that so often.

The V-Day shows looks very good. It's going to break up the week between the mourning and then the funerals. Good. I need a break from all the death.

Sweetie, I won't get on your ass about the rest of your questionable acting critiques, because you know I luvs ya, Boo...

But come on. Justin and Colin's bad acting being the results of bad writing? Do I really have to go into my That's What You Get When You Cast Inexperienced Models Instead of Skilled Actors dissertation?

But I do have to say this flying blind. I haven't seen the episode yet, and won't for at least another 38 minutes.

But AMC and Judy Blye Wilson need fans like you. The ones who give the untrained models the benefit of bad writing -- which is easy to do when you act from a McTavish script.

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
