Well,I signed on and didn't see a thread for today's show so I thought I would start it.

Today's show is a let down for me compared to the others this week.

Of course,it was that stupid Katie/Brad stuff that did it for me!

I did like the scene with Tom and Margo telling Casey what's what and telling Maddie that she was welcomed because she was like family.

Maria Wagner directed,Susan Dansby wrote it and Gary Sunshine appeared again today in the BDW list.

What did you think about it?

I'll give TAIC this---they sure are pimping Brad/Katie hard. Since I can't say anything nice, I won't say anything else.

I'm tired of Gwen's endless trauma-filled life. What does ghostAdam threaten to take away from her? Her VOICE? GMAFB!!! Boo-hoo, let's all cry for Gwen. She seriously needs to be off on some "tour" for six months or so.

I'm tired of Meg's self-pity fest too. She's willing to cover Craig's ass because he planted evidence for her? WTH? No wonder Jack's frustrated....it's the Carly/Simon crap all over again, with some misguided woman covering for a worthless walking bag of flesh man.

Paul's psychic flashes are so cheesy. Did TAIC spend all their budget on Emily's hooker underwear or what? Oooohhh...bracelet falls on rock...news at 11. Seriously, I almost wonder if TAIC aren't toying with the idea of a Paul/Carly hookup, since Parker is bonding with Paul so quickly. (And yes...I feel like biting off my tongue for thinking of it.)

It was nice seeing Kim, even if it was on a pimping All Things Katie day.

Not hard to believe at all Drew, I was also somewhat enjoying them, and I am not happy about it either :(

As for the show as a whole, like alot of posters said no where near the last three days in greatness, today was just laking something. As for Gwen I just want her gone, poor poor Gwen, lets see character has been on screen for 2 years in a row without ever being backburnered, and it is always the same storyline, poor me me Gwen, God she is Turning into Jen more and more by the day, and that is not a good thing. Please backburner Gwen. Paul and his visions are getting more dumb by the day and I really wish they would stop, how stupid another visin of a bracelet what does this make vision number 3 about the same thing, GMAFB. Maddie and Casey were pretty good, and like I said Brad and Katie were even interesting :( . So in general Gwen needs to go and so does Paul, and so do Katie and Brad before I really start to like them together, because I really don't want to.

I've been hating on Katie for months now, but I have to admit I found her and Brad charming. :unsure: I also love Michael Park when he is playing against Brad. Not because I like Brad all that much, but I just think some of the things Jack says are pretty funny.

I want to smack Parker for continuing to push Jack away, but I kind of understand too. He's taking it all out on Jack because he knows Jack isn't going to walk out on him no matter how much anger Parker throws his way.

I think right now the only thing holding my attention is the Tom/Margo/Casey stuff....to me it would be the most I've seen Tom on screen in quite some time.

I think I would like Vienna more if she were not with Brad....It would have been interesting to see her paired up with Henry...but Brad is boring to me.

Don't know if I am really on board with the whole Adam/Gwen/Maddie stuff, yet...In some instances, it just came right out of left field....meaning, Adam's agression for Gwen....a part of me wonders if the writers had something else in mind and they just switched gears immediately.

Don't know if anyone knows for sure, but it would probably be posted in a spoiler thread (I don't check those usually) if anyone did know.

I'm scratching my head wondering how they could redeem him if he is not dead. He'd really crossed the line by the end.

As for today's show, yeah I agree it was not as good as Monday-Wednesday.

    • 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?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
    • I don't think Lisa served a purpose after the serial killer storyline. The writers never gave her anything to do but be Vicky's nemesis. Joanna Going deserved better. Another example of a character taking over the show and then the writers not having a longterm plan for the character.  Exhibit B: Sally Spencer. Such a missed opportunity. It really angers me how they misused her. She could sing and act and they just threw her away in that sexist nonsense storyline. Once the story was over, they wrote her off. The McKinnons should have lasted for years. I will give the show credit for how they introduced Sandra Ferguson as Amanda. I thought it was expertly done. She comes in and she immediately connected to RKK's Sam. She has chemistry with Matthew and she has realistic conversations with MAc and Rachel. That's how it is done. 
    • Great points, and it has not completely vanished. Leslie on Beyond the Gates fits the trope (she's still not over that Ted lovin' two decades later), though I will say there does seem to be an effort to make her more complex.
