Wow, awesome show. I loved it! :) The Luke/Noah/Faith/Natalie scenes were so :lol: . Natalie and Faith catching Nuke hugging. :lol: Too bad they didnt catch them kissing. :P Noah and Luke looked so hot today. I hope they [!@#$%^&*] soon! :lol:

It was great to see all the vets on today including Susan. Next week looks real good too. I cant wait!!

I wish we could be blissfully ignorant of changes behind the scenes, when the show is so good right now. Oh well.

The farm scenes were great. Nuke's hugs are more amorous as time goes on, so perhaps they'll "!@#$%^&*" when we least expect it. :D

I just love Memorial's stairwell. It's the new solarium.

If Martha Byrne uses the last couple days for an Emmy reel, she can't go wrong.

There's more continuity in one episode than there is from day to day, but what we do get in the cast-heavy scripts seems Marlandesque. The preview for next week has me disappointed at the thought of Craig's involvement in the murder. He hasn't had a scene with Dusty in weeks, but NOW he hates him enough to kill him when Meg was the only word in his vocabulary lately? :rolleyes:

Memo 21 is Craig's baby too, but he hasn't spent any time worrying about it lately. His life for the last several weeks has been Meg with a side order of Meg and some more Meg to wash it all down with. We never got the sense that his professional reputation depended on the research as much as Chris and Evan's. I just don't see this business deal as a substantial reason for Craig to do it. If it's about Johnny, Dusty knew as little of Lucy's whereabouts as anyone else, so by that logic he might as well kill Lucinda too.

Oh, I understand giving Dusty a "rest." Jeannie, along w/ Hoagy Sheffer, took some wrong turns w/ that character. I just feel like killing him off is a mistake. Right up there w/ turning Barbara into a rolling pin-wielding psycho, and Adam Hughes Munson into a would-be rapist.

Funny.

The nice thing with Lily's latest diversion from Holden is that it was Dusty... which was something that went way back into her past (even though it was Brian Bloom playing him back then). This just smacks of "let's off another long-term character for short-term shock value".

And networks wonder why soap viewers stop watching.

    • Hmmm... I don't know if I agree the show has been doing this with Sonny since the mid-90's.  He was more anti-hero than hero back then and had a whole lot of baggage.  He also had some very decent qualities. This was long before his bipolar diagnosis.   I have said this so many times on this board, but the true ending for the Sonny character was leaving Brenda at the altar.  Not because I wanted that or anything.  I was upset for days and might still be 25 years later.  It was just Sonny finally doing something very unselfish and leaving Brenda for her own good and well-being.  The family and life he craved he realized he couldn't achieve because of the business.  That to me was the end of Sonny's arc. It's unfortunate MB didn't make it primetime and came back a year later lol.
    • I shouldn't write like an authority, which I do too often. It's how I feel but I respect that others did appreciate the writing last year with Sonny.
    • What are the additional surprises that Leslie has up her sleeve?
    • And that's the power of William J. Bell and his co-executive producers. Truth be told, I know people have heralded the return of Edward J. Scott last year (and yes, his return helped tighten up the visual look of production under the present regime as senior producer); however, I always felt like David Shaughnessy's vision (especially as a director) was stronger for Y&R. His Y&R had a darker, richer look that I feel like Scott never had, especially in the high-definition era.
    • That would be key; I know they have a "Tribeca" set that's active at the moment, so they could easily use the exterior of that set and then create "indoor" sets on the next set budget. I think that'd be a key idea. I love the community lots we presently have, although there is always room for more.

      Like, you cannot tell me that cannot be some kind of shopfront. Or even a salon front Serenity Beauty & Hair?
    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, the first time she aired, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory as part of the "have-nots".   But then June dropped the photograph, so that has to be an anvil or mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
