Hey everyone....Last week we saw the wedding and arrest of Phyllis Newman....This week we will see the focus on Ji Min, courtesy of Victor and Michael.

As always, let's discuss what we liked, what we didn't like and what could have been left on the cutting room floor on this week's Young and the Restless

I can't wait to watch this week, and for a change I am going to watch the whole week, the spoilers have me really wanting to watch for a change, plus hopefully we get to see more of Nikki's new grown bitchy side, that I am loving so much. Also great to know that Ji Min is going to be on this week, out of all the new characters I love him the most.

Nikki is a total hater and a snob, but this is not Nikki Newman that we're seeing. I don't like this senate story at all. I'd much rather a Jabot/NVP/Newman war or something that would better utilize the characters and their relationships. They need to boost Jill's role in Jabot as well as Gloria. It's like Jill is the hired help with no connection to Jack. The two were knocking boots for heavens sake! They talk like they don't even know each other.

Oh back to that hater Nikki, she works better in stories that focus on her insecurity. I will never stop wishing they had put her with Bobby, I also think Hope is another good alternative since Victor, Jr. should definitely be brought back. Even if it isn't romantic, Victor's respect for her while treating Nikki like catshit would drive her insane.

I am really looking forward to this week's Y&R. I really enjoyed the show last week and I am hoping that the momentum continues. And I do love Ji Min especially with Jill!!!

Between Y&R and Days getting better, I am starting to get into soaps again!

Huh - another newbie in Genoa City!?

Thank god, LML doesn't even bother to introduce them. With the likes of Ben Hollander et al. she'll soon be able to fill a totally different show. Wait she already does. Never mind.

As for Daniel's new porn-quest: D'OH!

All bad stories on this crapfeast-show last forever whereas the good stuff is hardly ever seen - WHY???

These new characters are getting ridiculous. Karen was introduced a couple weeks ago and what do we know other than her name? What is her personality type? Same questions for Ben! There is no character driven reason to bring these people on, they are just brought to serve the plot.

Worst part? I think he'd be a good idea for Phillip. Not only is he a professional, but it would connect him to a core family, he'd have a purpose and I do believe this would take Phillip closer to his real age.

Hating Daniel's porn because there is no reason behind it. They should've scheduled the Alex reveal later and have Lily and Daniel grow apart, having him turn to porn. Then as they get back together he continues to spiral out of control and Lily finds out. As it is, he has a porn addiction for absolutely ZERO reason.

The Lauren/Gloria/Kevin reveal was also crap to me. When Gloria said it was all Jack's fault, why didn't Lauren call her on the hypocrisy? Jack did nothing wrong, GLORIA did. The Victor/Michael taking down Jack scenes made no sense as they reveal that it's really Gloria's fault. Will Jack still be blamed for her crimes or will Gloria get her much needed comeuppance?

It's better this way. No way in HELL could CK's Lily be a viable "rival" for Phyllis. No need to make the girl look like a fool. Lily and Phyllis having "pleasant" conversations is the way to go as long as CK is playing the role of Lily. Now if DS was playing fiesty Lily, I'd say let the snark begin.

    • The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?
    • Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.  
    • Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.
    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
