This is been a good week so far, so much character interaction and well thought out conversations. Y&R continues to gradually improve during the writer's strike.

Tammin Sursok as NotColleen was actually good today too, I think she's slowly growing on me.

I loved the set design for Sharon's Chicago hotel room, Y&R still has the best set designers in daytime.

I also laughed at Victor and Heather at the Athletic Club, the stare and demeanor were so Victor and Heather looked like she was about to wet herself.

I HATE NuColleen. THe actress is so bland. She definitely annoys me more than Lily. That scene between NotColleen und BoreMeToTears Heltsrom recently was THE most boring scene ever on TV. Both actors sucked every single ounce of life out of each other. It was amazing - in a very tormenting way.

I loved Nikki realizing her accounts have been frozen. This was a classic Y&R cliffhanger - sort of. MTS is impressing me these days. And I FLOVE the cocky demeanor of TGVN. If these writers could just make Jill the true Jill Foster Abbott again this show would really be much more interesting....

I will never be sold on NuColleen. Latham firing Adrienne Leon was one of her worst decisions.

Victor and Heather was priceless. I was just waiting for Heather to be just like ok charges dropped and run away LOL.

I love that the REAL Victor is back

I love that the REAL Victor is back

LOL! CBS should make promos of that and air it every 5 seconds, like a certain other network.

"He's been a pod for about two years, but on Dec 24, 2007, the REAL Victor Newman came back..."

Today's show was really good, probably the best show of the week so far. It almost felt like classic Y&R again, and the directing was very reminiscent of the old Y&R.

I'm actually liking Sharon and Jack and I loved that Sharon stood up to Brad and let him know that she loves Jack.

The Newman drama stuff was the best part and each of those scenes ended with cliffhangers, really good techniques there...

I could've done without Lily and Cane, but other than that, a pretty flawless episode.

Now that Victor's kickin ass again, can Jill get her balls back?

WORD and could we please have Jill in scenes and in a storyline that doesn't always involve Katherine or Cane?

Preach it!

Jill better start blasting Kay for sth. ASAP. I don't care whatsoever this might be about - just do it.

Seriously! They're family but not siamese triplets!

Amen. It's been beyond time Jill tried to set Kay's hair on fire.

Jana gets off? Um ok...

Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott were magic in today's episode. They're truly the best thing about the show right now. Both actors are rocking this, and they're problems have rippling effects throughout the whole Newman clan and business. Victor and Nikki have been down this road before, but something about this split is different and it's being handled well. Melody in particular has been on fire for over a year now, if there's one thing LML did well, it was to utilize MTS.

2008 is off to a better start than 2007 was...

I totally agree. Nikki and Victor are the central focus of this show right now and they have made them interesting. I hate Nikki and Victor when they are all happy and no conflict. I love when there is conflict and they just feed off each other. The way Victor berated Nikki, I was laughing my ass off.

"I want you where I found you, with nothing!"

"Go back to the damn strip club, where I found you. That way if things get tight, something to fall back on."

I so agree, Victor and Nikki are magic.

Jana got off....okay, a bit random considering she did actually kill Carmen. I would have figured Victor blasting Heather would have worked...oh well.

And HELL YES GIVE JILL HER BALLS BACK!

I'm looking forward to whatever made Katherine dizzy at Crimson Lights when she was discussing Australia. Hopefully some repressed memories about giving away Cane and/or the fact that she and Jill aren't related are beginning in surface!

Oh and Mark H posted in another thread that Katherine had a 'stumble'...what was it? Was it when she said to Nikki "You don't have to think about [losing her] for some time yet"?

No, Kay, Jill, and Cane were at Crimson Lights and were about ready to leave when she stumbled. They didn't really dwell on it, but Jill and Cane thought it might be something serious, but the Kay insisted she was OK. If they're gonna give Kay some type of illness, that was a good set-up. We got to see signs and details, something Latham would have never given to us.

im still in shock that MTS can act!
