Jill and Ji Min are extremely hot to me and my #1 reason for watching the show. I've read some flack about the age differences, but when a man is with a younger woman (a soap staple), no one cares. It's only once an older woman gets a younger man that it's a serious part of the story. Jack is 20 years older than Phyllis and Sharon, but it isn't that big a deal. Victor is obviously much older than Ashley and JT has 10 years on both Colleens. In either case it doesn't bother me as long as the couple is good and makes sense. I just wish there wasn't such a double standard.

I completely agree with you, although I have often thought the age difference between Jack/Phyllis and particularly Sharon/Jack is a little too much. Still, if that is acceptable then Jill Ji-Min certainly is. I perfer to see couples that are within 10 years of each other, I admit. Doesn't matter to me if the man or woman is older, but when the chemistry is there I'll over look the age difference. The double standard has gotten old though. Most soap viewers are still woman, so I think they should cater to us. I know I don't want to hook up with a guy old enough to be my Dad. I'd much rather see the woman with a younger, hot guy. Especially Jill. She's been on the shelf way too long.

Now most importantly, Christel Khalil CANNOT ACT. Can it even be debated after todays show? Geez! And Daniel calling her baby rang so false because they have ABSOLUTELY ZERO chemistry. FIRE HER!!!

I agree with both of you about CK not being able to act, and I too caught myself laughing at CK's horrid attempts at dramatic acting today. Whoever came up with the idea to hire CK back should be fired along with CK herself.......

The Fishers (GloHo, Kevin, Michael, and Lauren) have been getting on my nerves a lot more lately.......

And when Daniel was about to leave, Lily said "Noooo, Dan-yell don't leave me!" I was ROTFLMAO then. I was no more good. :lol: And she was acting like the doll had broke in half. It was the arm and all she needed to do was get some super glue and STFU! God, where is Davetta when you need her???

Sharon and Neil were insanely moving in their scenes. Why couldn't they adopt Sharon as well? LOL! Honestly Dru, Sharon, Neil, Devon and Davetta!Dily made the perfect soap family. I could see them going for two grieving friends falling in love and it working. Unfortunately Brad is Latham's favorite so he'll get Sharon.

Now most importantly, Christel Khalil CANNOT ACT. Can it even be debated after todays show? Geez! And Daniel calling her baby rang so false because they have ABSOLUTELY ZERO chemistry. FIRE HER!!!

LOL....the thought of Sharon being adopted by Neil and Dru just cracks me up. lol, could you image her at a Winters Family dinner? lol I would love a scene with Dru buys Sharon her first "church" hat.

I hated Lily today. CK was horrible. She came across as heavily medicated in her scenes and she hadnt even taken the sleeping pills yet

I loved the Neil/Sharon stuff. They were the highlight for me. I noticed a bit of chemistry and could see myself getting behind them but I want them to just stay friends. I like how she is being a good friend and offered to be as good a friend to him as Dru was to her

Just switch Will Stiffwell and JT to the dead part and put Detective Lungcancer to the meh list ad I couldn't agree more with...

Isn't it sad how little people we like on Y&R these days??? Shouldn't a decent writer make more than 8 (and Liv is no even recurring, she was just guest...) appealing to the audience???

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
