Oh, did I ever, Danny. Wow. Okay, onto the nonaesthetic comments before I go crazy...

Great, action-packed show today. And best of all? No Chelsea/Nick/Max/Abby. We needed a successful break from them, IMO.

Shawn and Belle. Sigh. Their scenes today were very good. The elephant in the middle of the...beach that neither of them would talk about was finally addressed. They had it out, and now things are better. Honesty is such a concept.

Steve is nuts. Nichols is the most incredible actor in the world, LOL. Okay, I'm biased, but I've never seen him take it too far. Ok, maybe biting Bo was a little extreme (and scared the palooza out of me), but still. He's always portrayed to a T, without going overboard, exactly what Steve's going through. And I love it. I wonder if he'll start calling himself Patch again, as he gets deeper and deeper into his old habits, and this new insanity. Could we be getting the falling in love all over again story after all?

HOPE! I've missed her. Her scenes with Willow today were superb. Annie's growing on me in a very natural way suddenly (shuddup, DrewH :P). Today I could actually say Willow did not annoy me in the slightest. It seems she's starting to fit in. Who would have guessed (besides DrewH)? I still think Jed is positively useless, though I don't mind him with a brief interlude preceding MABBY. I did absolutely love seeing Hope play the bitch!card in a realistic situation. Kristian was phenomenal today. This part of her personality always seems to go missing until it's useful. Yay for Horton fire!

Basically, Willow never came across as a character before. She's been written as a caricarture. But today, she was written and portrayed as if she was actually part of the canvas, not a plot point. That made all the difference in the world, IMO.

Drew, you don't seem to be taking into account that people's opinions of the actress months ago are still valid. You "saw what no one else saw" back then (vomit); I say I like someone when they're good, not because of "potential." I do like Willow much, much more now, but I really didn't way back when. And your I-was-right-and-I'll-mention-it-every-moment-I-get attitude makes me want to hide it. No one like to be told they were "wrong," especially when they're not. You make being a Willow fan very hard.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

And no, I'm not being too sensitive.

So for the record: I'm not joining you. I have my own, different, unique Willow-love that isn't dirty and premature like yours. I've seen your love and it's ugly and unlike my own. So leave me out of your club. I ain't joinin' nuthin'!

Andre, just go cry or something. I don't have time for your comments...

Anywho, who else here loves the Hope/Willow scenes? Kristian Alfonso and Annie Burgstede definitely have that mother and baby's mother drama chemistry. You can tell Hope hates Willow's guts, but her grandchild is inside of the woman she hates and she has to feel some love for her. I love it! Real family drama in Salem? Get out of here!

    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that. 
    • That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited. And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.
    • I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
    • That was one of the best grandslam finals.  Alcaraz comes all the way back down 2 sets to 0, and three match points in the 3rd set, to win it in a 5th set tie-break.  And the quality of play was excellent - so many great shots.  What a battle!
    • Indeed. I may try to watch it in full sometime, but not anytime soon... Mark played Sean Baxter for a few episodes when Courtney married Andy. Burke was either on Broadway or at OLTL at that time, I suppose.
    • Well, Josh was a horndog. LOL Yep. It was one of the first really weird things Reva did with her PPD. She became obsessed with the idea that Dylan and Sam should get married. Sam was only 17, and needed her parent's permission. Reva helped them leave town so they could go to a neighboring state where Sam was old enough. Ross, Billy and Josh stopped them, then Sam went to India to try and persaude Justin. Reva followed her and didn't tell Josh she was going. While Reva was gone, Josh advertised for nannies, and Harley applied. He ended up hiring someone else. But when Reva returned, she hired Harley because (in her weird mental state) she wanted someone she could trust with the kids (because she feared Josh was trying to get rid of her and that Vanessa wanted the children.). After Reva starts treatment, she asks Harley to stay until she's stronger because she's good with the kids. At the party, Reva starts going off the rails, insulting Justin and Josh hauls her to a private dining room to ask WTF. Reva starts confronting him about the "affair" with Vanessa, and he realizes she is weird. He locks her in the dining room and frees Mindy and Van from the ladies room (where Reva has locked them in). Van starts telling him that Reva attacked her and needs help.  Reva escapes out the window of the dining room and goes back to the party, climbs onto a table and starts a striptease. Josh gets her to stop, takes her home and after filling Ed in, decides to go to the doctor the next day. Reva then takes off and spends days running around town, coming on to a guy she thinks is Billy, Billy, Hamp, Frank and Roger.  Roger takes her to his apartment and takes nude pictures of her, which he tries to blackmail Billy with. He wants the deed to the land the Towers is on in exchange for them. (Billy had been left the deed by a sweet old lady who lost her home in the 5th street fire. Roger had stolen the deed from her before she died. After Roger took those pics of Reva, she saw him hide them, and took an envelope from the hiding place. She didn't realize she'd taken the deed and not the pictures.)  Anyway, Billy and Vanessa trick Roger into burning the pictures, claim the deed and at the Towers opening reveal that Billy owns the land and therefore the Towers. That's what led to Roger and Alex's breakup and Roger and Mindy's affair. Mark Lewis was on ATWT? 1986 is not a good year, storywise. No bueno. Muy no bueno.
    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.  I suppose even if she did have some fans they were just so used to getting rid of people left and right, so she was more collateral damage. As you said above I do wonder what the plans were for Peggy Lazarus. I think AWHP mentioned her once telling Peter that Peggy Lazarus wasn't her real name. Maybe she would have been another Carl moll... Rebecca Hollen never did get her due in her soap roles.
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.
