It was nice seeing Hope, even though we know what will happen to her later this month. The scenes between her and Victor were very touching and true to the dynamic of their relationship. I hope to God Latham doesn't come back and destroy all of this, especially the characterizations, since most characters are acting like themselves again. The flashback at the end of the episode was a nice touch as well. I hear tomorrow's episode is littered with old flashbacks, so it should be a goodie.

From your mouth to Sony's ears! What I would give to see her back on our screens, generating actual chemistry with the actors playing her father, her best friends, her boyfriend, her former nemesis, her former stepmother. AL could spark off of everybody. She made Amelia Heinle come alive and the hate chem between her and GR was downright illegal.

Seeing Hope again was such a step back down memory lane. Do you know, I had forgotten she was blind until she called out "Who's there?" when Victor walked into the room. SC really conveyed Hope's sickness and suffering, too. It was painful almost watching her breathe and speak).

Signy is a brilliant, brillant actress and she needs to be back on a soap! I really wish the show had reunited Victor and Hope, giving him some kind of happiness. Then after a few months of bliss you can discover the terminal illness. This is took good a story to rush the way they are.

I love that they are having the Victor/Hope montage from the past......I love it.

I'm actually liking the show....

I can see the makings of an eating disorder headed Lily's way...which will just keep Cane sniffing around her to 'console and help' her in her dire situation.

Someone mentioned Adrianne Leon....I agree.... Bring her butt back on Y&R STAT....

I'm loving the show so much right now. This feels like what Y&R should be. Characters are acting like themselves and the shiow isn't one big plot anymore and seems to be more character driven.

Loved the Victor/Hope/Vic scenes. Like someone else said, I wish this s/l was longer and Victor and Hope actually got back together before Hope dies.

I really think Jill is gonna get involved in the Nikki/David s/l in some way. I don't think she'll get involved with David but I see her being really suspicious of him especially after she saw him with that guy today.

Today's episode was really good, especially the Hope/Victor/Victor Jr. stuff. Does anyone else think Chris Engen (Victor Jr.) looks a lot like Greg Rikaart? I loved the cliffhanger at the end and all the Victor and Hope flashbacks we got. Even the revelation to Victoria about the choice that had to be made during her coma was good. Y&R continues on its creative upswing, I just really hope Latham doesn't come back and dismantle everything.

I would even like Cane to sleep with Chloe the girl who cause Lily her problems. Lily qwould just row over like she have done many of times.

& when Lily goes off & really finds herself. Maybe she'll take Colleen with her then they come back as DS & AL. Or at least a recast that is stronger & mature Lily.

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
