GloHag isn't just on every day but in EVERY story.

Victor, Victoria & Sabrina at the boutique? So is Glo.

Kay, Jill & Brad at Jabot? So is Glo.

Nikki & David at The Club? So is Glo.

Neil & Karen at Indigo? So is Glo.

Paul & JT at Crimson Lights? So is Glo.

Yep. Even though Y&R has 35 years of history to mine from, the writing team still love to dip the big ole well of Memories That Never Happened. Everytime Victoria and Nick have a scene, I cringe because one or the other usually ends up waxing lyrical about their "wonderful childhood" on the ranch, bonding over computer games. I swear, if I never hear the words "computer game" on this show again, I will die happy. The gamer sh!t reeks of LML's "write what you know" philosophy of hackdom.

I will give MAB this: she does understand each character. Characters do act like themselves. I'll give credit where credit's due.

But she can't plot worth sh*t...and I am not convinced that Gloria received positive reviews in the last Nielsen survey, her saturation in this show boggles my mind. Judith Chapman must come cheap, her guarantee must be insane! It's time to can her, I like her as an actress, but the character outlived her usefulness years ago.

Love the renaissance of Jill. Jess Walton is terrific.

The Victor/Sabrina Baby better be a way for Victor to destroy Sabrina in a wildly dramatic fashion right as they are about to say I Do. He's had a vascectomy. Diane Jenkins had to STEAL his sperm. Nobody forgets that story. Victor Newman fires blanks! If Sabrina's demon spawn does turn out to be a little Newman...I will be beyond insulted. Bill Bell/Kay Alden/Jack Smith would never have insulted the intelligence of the viewer like that!

Also... I've been thinking about Michael's storyline lately... why would I care if he finally finds Lowell? Even if he brings him to Genoa City, whatever he turns out to be, good or bad, I just don't see anything interesting in that storyline. I don't know why. Maybe my view on the show has been momentarily damaged.

Imagine, though, how much money that would free up for the show. Who knows? Maybe we'll finally get some decent flower arrangements again, lol.

Believe me, hearing it and watching it unfold on-screen didn't make it any easier to accept.

Dru, in the woods, fishing. I don't frakking believe it. :rolleyes:

And that is why (IMO) Glo gotta go.

:lol:

Well, BB and KA probably wouldn't. But remember: Jack Smith's the one who says Jill is Kay's daughter, lol. ;)

    •   From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline
    • Well, a good number of sets were up when I was there, but there was a limited number of people around. Even Y&R seemed dead, but maybe everyone was out for lunch at the time? I remember driving from the parking lot and preparing to enter the roadway when I saw Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc returning from what I think was their lunch break. Not sure where they went or were coming from.
    • A scene I cannot wait to see. Julie Harris as Liliemae is the gift that keeps on giving; she's not outright evil, but frustrating, and in her own way, still pretty lovable.
    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
