Is it me or are they totally setting up something big for Katherine? At least it looks to be more realistic and nothing something like switching another baby or something...

I still hate David Chow, but it's good that they're developing the character more and adding more dept.

I can't wait for the storyline where this David Chow mess blows up in Nikki's face because you know it's coming soon...

I just returned from a peaceful, sunny, winterwonderland dream week in the Tyrolian Alps and was VERY pleasantly surprised by Y&R.

The writers strike did for this show what he all didn't dare to hope for. Not only are they doing damage control, they're re-building the house from bottom to roof. Seems step by step they try to phase out that craptacular stories, music effects and that shyte...

Whatever they pay Eric Breaden and Melody Thomas Scott is not enough. Those two are pushing the show back to its former glory. See: no Phyllis is needed. Amber is also superflous. Now they just need to make Jill the alpha-female again and I'm a happy camper.

He is now a client of Kyle Lowder's hairstylist from last year. Hopefully Graz is not visiting the Kyle Lowder school of acting as well... *dear god in heaven*

Exactly, Y&RWorldTurner. Don't know if I'd call it "depth" but he suddenly is bearable and dare I say that I find his story pretty interesting?

If only because that Nikki/Victor divorce is just so delicious. I was in awe over those performances: great acting by Mr Mumbles and a remarkably strong MTS (who I'm usually not one of the biggest fans of...). And hey; Nikki and Victor served some great cliffhangers. Some great muscial themes were used. This was classic Y&R. Keep. It. Coming.

Compared to all what Amber has done so far in Genoa City this April Knight crap felt like Proust... THis Marina-thingy made me want to shake my head against the wall uncontrollably. It was just SO incredibly dumb. Next to the porn story another runners up for worst story ever.

The current regime of Griffith and Bell did a fine job by freeing Jana from jail. The resolution was nearly plausible. Lack of evidence instead of a DA falling for a stupid defence. We would not have gotten that under LML. I've still got several episodes ahead of me, so it's catch-up-time for me and I'm looking forward to it... :o

I think David's past and dual identity is shaping up to be an intriguing story all on its own, even after his secrets are inevitably exposed to Nikki. I suspect he may have turned his back on his powerful mob family legacy, changing his name when he struck out on his own. When he's not able to pay off the loan (which IMO he took out to try and save Clear Springs for Nikki, then he lost his investment when it blew up), instead of being threatened physically, he's forced back into The Family business. Later, he unexpectedly inherits the mantle when his father dies.

Whatever the story turns out to be, I'm glad VI will be getting material worthy of his talent, after being wasted by Y&R for far too long! :)

Go Jack and Sharon! Bring down GloBitch!

Wow, Daniel Goddard is a convincing actor. When he whispered "God, you have a beautiful smile" and started thumbing Lily's lip, I damn near swooned myself.

CANNOT believe I am being sucked into watching this show again.

      What AW stories do you think of as DOOLish? I mean AW, in a very positive way was KNOWN for its comedic elements. From Iris's maid, Vivian, to the naming of plants, to highjinks with Cass, Felicia, Wally & even Lily, plus remember Dee Evans & Tony the Tuna? In a way at one time DAYS had similar with Caliope & Eugene.

      Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.

      I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.

      That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.

      Knots Landing

      Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively.

      Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

      Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!
