This is hard to explain, so I won't here, but I do now tolerate Babe...i just hate her being on everyday, plus the fact the writing for her character is a mess which needs to be worked on. If you want to know my sudden 180...PM me and I'll tell you. I was actually able to enjoy AMC and watch her w/o getting pissed off royally, and cannot wait for Monday's show

I honestly don't understand it either. One would think that if your one son tried to kill your other son (your biological son) you wouldn't like him as much. :blink::rolleyes:

I don't get Jaime's "were best brother's till the end" bit either. Jaime was always jealous of JR. Ever since they were children. So i'm not getting this all the sudden brothers till the end bit.

I don't agree. Tad was very supportive of JR and even tried to help him until JR framed Jaime for drugging Babe and also almost killed him as a result of being in prision. Tad and Jaime should disown JR simply because of the way JR tried to kill Jaime. Tad might not have any moral high ground here but JR tried to kill his son. I think that alone is grounds for him to disown him. Add to the fact that JR is now keeping Tad from his child and I do hope Tad does disown him.

Jamie and JR as brothers is one of the things I've loved most about all this crap with Babe. Those boys grew up together. They took a vow (I have it on tape, it's so cute) that they were brothers forever. I think that a lot of things have happened between them, really horrible nasty things, and I think they hated each other for awhile. But it makes sense to me, that through it all, they've come back out of this as brothers. I expect them to hate each other again at some point, but when all is said and done, they cosider themselve brothers, not step brothers, brothers. :) It's one of those relationships that I think has been battered, between, brusied, almost killed, but in the end...there's still a connection that helps them mend fences. I like it.

JR is doing so as well. and considering JR is Tad's "son" I think he has more of a moral obligation to tell him then Krystal or Babe do. Honestly JR is screwing over all three of his parents Dixie, Adam and Tad. Dixie for ignoring her last dying wish, Adam by letting him believe this child is his and Tad for keeping him away from his daughter. They're all wrong but JR is worst because he has more of a personal history of them and they are the people he has known his entire life. JR is willingly lying to all of his parents. What's his excuse? Krystal is doing this to save herself and she is wrong, Babe is doing this for her mother. JR is doing this why? IMO he's the worst considering he is screwing over all of his parents with the secret. He is no better then they are for keeping it.

After all the crap Tad pulled on Jr I don't think he has a moral obligation to tell Tad anything. Krystal is the mother of the child. She is the one who should be telling Tad. I really don't think its anyone else's responsibility to tell even Babe's. And even though Jr is a complete and utter [!@#$%^&*] I just can't hate him because the writing is so sledgehammer obvious (Jr=Bad) in order to prop Babe and whoever else needs to be propped at the moment .

    • 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?
    • 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.
