Not a bad show. A little show but enjoyable.

First off, I LOVE GABBY!!!

As I have said, when Joy Bisco first started on PC I didn't care for her but she grew on me. I LOVE her in this character. She has a daddy's girl type feel but also a little rebel in her. Definitely more likeable then any of the new faces so far except Nick. Duck has short-term written all over him. He won't last and he annoyed me. The actor was fine but his look and the writing for him were not very becoming for me. I did like the Belle/Shawn scenes today because we did get a week break from them. The White twins are great. The way they cry at the right time and say things at the right time. I felt their pain and Martha and Brandon did a good job showing how horrified Belle and Shawn were. Liked it.

I also want to thank Days for the great Kate/Philip scenes today. Those scenes were needed. I needed Philip to interact with the other side of his family. I also needed to hear him talk about his motivation for his actions. His trying to be like Victor makes sense. Just really liked these scenes. LMAO to Kate doing a reading for the wedding and even coming to church for anything other then a wedding or funeral :lol: . I was a little confused about Philip calling him Victor but maybe he was mad or something. I hope we get to see the dinner or more scenes with Philip, Lucas, and Billie. I like family scenes and it helps mold Philip a bit as far as he is in his recent incarnation. JKJ and LK have great mother/son chemistry and they were good today. I actually saw some sensitivity in Philip and that helps. It's hope we get to see some more family scenes in general and I think we will.

Chelsea/Nick/Abby was filler but well-acted. I like how Nick showed how much he cared by trying to help her. Nice scenes. I like Chelsea laying into Bo and props to Days for not having Bo all out blame Chelsea. He is questioning her but not blaming her yet even though he thinks it could be her. I like that better. This is being handled well IMO. Billie/Bo/Hope was good. I like these three together. i like how Hope let Billie have it at first and was so tough on her and Bo and then she cooled down and helped Billie and offered to help Chelsea along with Bo. I like that Bo and Hope ae trying to think this through and not instantly blaming Chelsea. Hope/Billie was great when she convinced her to empty the bottle and that they would help each other with bad habits. Good writing and acting there.

Solid show. Tomarrow and Friday look more dramatic and seem to have more action.

I agree. Although I don't love Gabby, I am at least interested in her and there's potential for me to love her someday. Some have said she's a repeat of Willow, but I don't see that. Maybe there's spoilers that invite the comparison, but if so I don't know about them so right now she's an open book. She did come across very warm and friendly and was very good with Claire. Those twins are awesome!

After rewatching the Kate/Philip scenes last night, I like them even more than I originally did. It was great to see another side of Kate and it went a long way in explaining Philip's actions. Having a father like Victor would be very intimidating, and in JKJ's previous tenure Philip had a tendency to be weak so I think we are now seeing him over-correcting.

    • 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.
