Best part...two smackdowns. First, Kim's to Brad. Even though it was in Fluffy's defense, it was still good to see Kim put KBrad in his place. Then Maddie smacked down Jade, who was foolishly whining about Adam not emailing her a lame ass apology. (Why would he, after Jade told him to go to hell the last time they saw each other?) Sure, it was imminently stupid of Maddie, (who I actually like) but every word was true, and Jade knows it. And it sets the stage for Jade to open a can of whoop ass, which is always fun.

Good...Jack/Parker/JJ, sitting around the newly revamped Al's. Parker's mini-breakthrough from the other night is over with, and he's back to his sullen ways. I don't mind, I can see it's all an act.

Bad..."Oakdale Now". Sigh...good grief, the only thing more boring than Katie whining is Katie standing in a fake kitchen set whining on local tv. And Brad's little speech how "her husband being gone is why you're a b!tch" was "her getting a painful reminder Mike wasn't coming back" (per spoilers)??? I mean, GMAFB. Isn't there a huge space in her garage where Mike's tools once resided??? Like she needed an outsider telling her she was alone? *groan*

Worse....(arguably) Meggy's little "independent" streak. So, she's gonna stand on her own by working at Al's, and refuses to live at Fairwinds? Oh, how noble. *rme*

Just when I was starting to hate on Kim, she puts Brad right in his place. I love this woman and I LOVED how she put her arms on her hips. :lol:

I'm sooooo sick of this story. I find comedic stories on ATWT as funny as a hysterectomy. They're stupid and annoying. It doesn't help that the actors involved have ZERO comedic timing.

At the moment only Henry and Vienna have good zing.

Glad to see Al's Diner return.

Sure was. The booths by the window are the same, but they took out the big center booth, and changed the tables. And the weird thing is, they've used the set this week (Iris found Gwen/Maddie there, and Susan/Dusty talked) and it was the same. At least I think it was. Now, I'll have to check.

And now I know why that kitchen set looked familiar. I bet it was part of Kim's old house set.

Today's show was just ok, nothing great about it other than Luke finally showing up after almost 2 weeks AGAIN. Craig/Meg Yuk don't care. Katie in the Kitchen with Brad and Kim, only nice thing about that was seeing Kim and the WOAK set, Katie and Brad did nothing for me and neither did the hint of a future Brad/Katie/Jack setup they had going there. Parker/JJ/Jack was a pretty good scene, Mick Hazen just shines on the screen and he makes the character of a pre-teen very realistically. Gwen/Maddie/Will/Casey was ok, I hope they get on with the storyline and start moving it, I don't need to be watching it for 2 more months. Luke/Jade was the highlight of the day along with Parker. I like how once again we had the foreshadowing of Luke finding Love, but at this point enough of the foreshadwoing lets just do it already, though on some level I do like that they are taking it slow now that he is finally back on screen again, it would have seemed weird for him to just have popped up with a boyfriend out of the blue. I just really wish he could interact with the teens more like he did today, just because Luke is gay does not mean that he can not be involved in all the other storylines that are going on around him, and I really wish the show would stop making it like that, get him involved not everything has to be about him being Gay, I wish they would get that through there heads.

Today was okay.

When Brad showed up with that dog at the studio, I was like, "OMG! It's the dog that attacked Paul!" :lol: I would have paid money to see the dog go after Katie. LOL That would have been hilarious. That dog needs to be a permanent feature on the show just so it can freak the hell out of Paul. The whole "comedic" part of the scenes was not that funny.

Brad looks like Kevin Federline, at least IMO. He has such a goofy expression. :rolleyes:

Loved seeing Kim tell off Brad! I knew it the minute she gave him that glare!! :lol: I was waiting for her to call him "Kiddo."

The kitchen set looked like it came from Hal's house. :blink: Maybe I'm wrong though. It could have been Kim's kitchen too (when's the last time we saw it though? :rolleyes:)

I liked seeing Margo. OMG, Maddie and Gwen are aggravating. I wished Jade would tear those two apart. Also, liked the talk between Jade and Luke.

Please! Jack needs to get the hell away from Katie. I can't believe that the writers would do a Jack/Katie/Brad triangle.

Yep, I loved that too. I like that the show has set up Kim to be a figure of authority, instead of just "drop-in grandmother." She's been on three days this week, I think, and most of the week last week too!

Agreed on all points. Maddie especially is super-aggravating. I'm glad Luke tore into her and came to Jade's defense as well.

In general, my favorite parts of Friday's episode were the aforementioned Kim, Margo, Jade, and Luke, but I am also excited that HOCKEY is playing a big part in the story. :) I hope they keep that going.

    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • 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.
