Nope. No death. And no spanking for Noah. He's more self-centered than ever.

Victoria is still unconscious from coming in contact with that moldy scone. Still disappointed no venemous snakes were let loose in the collapse. Or even non-venemous snakes; just something to bite Nikki on the ass and hear her go AAAAAH!

For the record I thought the idea of Victoria getting rescued last and living through an explosion only to be knocked unconscious by a falling rock was a good idea. Our heads are very fragile if injured and people have died from lesser impacts and smaller objects hitting them and fate is cruel.

Also, Why must someone die during a disaster....what I look for in a story is long term consequences and character growth when a major event happens (which I admit they haven't been characterizing very well right now). It didn't happen with Carmen, Druscilla, or Ji Min dying so why would another death have been more dramatic?

My biggest problem with last week was how out cold Jack was only to be seen next in the hospital putting his watch on and talking like he was perfectly fine - even though Victor said the explosion had thrown him close to the entrance and he had been passed out before that. Then again, in disasters sometimes the person who seems the post injured is the first to be released. It may have been intentional to show Victoria and Jack's conditions as opposites, being the last rescued.

I think instead of the rock - even though it wasn't that big of a deal to me - they should have had Victoria collapse from head trauma that wasn't made obvious after it seemed she was fine. When she told Adrian she was closing her eyes cuz she was sleepy I thought that was foreshadowing

Well, at least the fires in California will have one positive effect - mass preemption of Y&R this past week. I seriously can't wait to see how low this show's ratings will be next week, I'll love to be a fly on LML's wall when she looks at them. Yes it wills till be the #1 soap, but the preemptions will have killed any chance of the show getting a significant boost for this clusterfuck of a storyline.

I feel so bad for hating Jack F. Smith in his last year on the show. Even his horrible messes look like Oscar worthy material compared to what we're getting now.

Steven Kent of Sony, Barbara Bloom of CBS, and William J. Bell JR of the Bell Dramatic Serial Company should all be publicly executed for what they've turned this poor show into and giving Latham so much power.

Do you really think that is going to do anything? :rolleyes: Y&R has been in the number one spot for nearly TWENTY YEARS, and daytime is dying. The focus would be better spent on shows like DOOL, ATWT, GL & AMC. Don't people want to "save" those shows? :rolleyes: It is like Another World all over again.

Ugh...This crap is getting broing and its has only been 1 week.

LML is offically the dumbest writier in Daytime History! Waaste of my time, waste of money, waste of space.

The only good thing coming out from this is that Victoria is in a coma.

Glad Victoria wakes up...

Overall though I don't think this event/stunt was well executed.

However I doubt the ratings will "tank". One bad week doesn't equal fire and brimstone.

Hopefully next week makes up for this farce of an event. Not once was I on the edge of my seat or even worrying about who will live or w/e. It was just plain boring. More like "wait until the next person is rescued" type of thing.

The problem is that Y&R wasn't willing to make any sacrafice for the show in terms of characters. Like killing off Jack would have been a HUGE shocker but of course PB is like the face of Y&R and if you get rid of him that would have resulted in massive outrage most likely. Plus it might have been good in the short term but it definitely might have a negative effect in the long run when it comes to viewers. In short Y&R seems like the kinda show where the characters we see on a daily basis seem too "important" to be killed off for a stunt like this.

Nick, Victor, Victoria, Nikki, Brad, Paul, Lauren, Katherine...those are all major characters (IMO) that were never going to be in any real danger. And then all the other characters were minor or just not even worth caring about. Noah, Amber, Cane, Adrian, Neil, Maggie, etc.

In short I don't think there was anyway Y&R could have pulled this off without making some kinda big shocking event involving a hugely popular or historical character.

      Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.

      Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.

      Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.

      When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.

      Okay, well her reasons were that she had a mandate to reduce the size of the cast & she had another mandate to make the cast overall younger, so her reason for picking Donna to off was because she was too old.  So, is that what you understand? Or are you thinking of something else? Which if so, I would be delighted to hear about it!  She had arbitrarily picked 50 as the age people needed to be younger than.  And, that is why she got rid of both Bridget & Spencer Harrison.  And, getting rid of Bridget was another of her horrible ideas.  Why do you refer to her as the Face of the Show? Don't feel bad. I am a major Cass fan & I don't remember him with Donna either, LOL! Can we say forgettable? And, yes, Lila was the most last minute of last minutes!!!!

      This is AWESOME, thank you for taking the time to post this! My first thought: My memory is a lot better than I thought it was, LOL! The first episode I clearly remember watching had a scene of Ed confronting Holly about Christina's paternity. He lamented how wonderful things had been over Christmas, so looks like I started watching the show early 1976. The only thing puzzling me is where is Evie? I thought she was around BEFORE Rita got involved with Tim, but maybe that's one gap in my memory. It makes Rita look slightly better--in that case, she didn't seduce Tim knowing her sister had a crush on him.
