^^ I'm holding on to any hope I can muster. I was one of the few people who really didn't mind LML. She was far from perfect, but her writing was never this mind numbingly boring. If only she hadn't fired Jack Smith. I feared what might come after her and I feel I was justified in that. The current regime has killed Y&R for me. I just wish they would get Jack Smith back because I'm afraid we are going to completely lose the feel of classic Y&R.

I'd hate to see the show develop into one of those soap operas that keep changing bad HWs/EPs for even worse ones. That's why I'd like to see someone from the old crew team back, at least to save what's left of the dignity.

I feel the same way. I didn't mind LML when she was paired with Alden and Smith. Her biggest mistake was firing the "core" of Y&R....the writers that knew the show and characters in and out, and replaced them with her FOLML. Y&R hasn't recovered, and though I like Hogan, I don't think he's going to fix everything that's wrong with the show. They need their former writers back.

I liked the show today. Victor/Sabrina's wedding - the beginning of their marriage - juxtaposed with the ending (supposedly) of Nikki/David's marriage. I thought the show was well put-together. Must see TV? Not really, but good nevertheless.

Victor is obviously taking Adam's relationship with Heather as a betrayal IMO. That will cause some angst for them, but I hope the writers keep them together cuz they are my fave couple right now, on any soap.

Please describe how David explained to Nikki why they should divorce.

I wish someone would explain why the writers would shy away from the beautiful s/l that would've developed if Paul had helped Nikki out of the hands of a killer. Oh, what would have been...

Anyone else think they should hook up Nikki and Paul? That would be awesome to me personally. Maggie is never around and Nikki and Paul have great history. I would love for Christine to come back too but that's just me. I know I'm in the extreme minority on that.

Not looking forward to Hogan's newest reign of terror. Again I'm in the extreme minority but I like Y&R right now and Sabrina is my new favorite soap character. I liked the wedding too and Victoria helping out Sabrina and her dad by getting rid of Sabrina's mom's pictures. Old skank selling out her daughter ...

Dude, even Sheffer can come up with a better cliffhanger than "Will Phyllis and Nick get the memory card so the press doesn't print photos of the wedding?! TUNE IN TOMORROW!"

I'll take BAD story over this.

ETA: Yes, you can all quote me on that. And remind me in six months when there's a bad story that I said it. I don't care. I mean it now, and I'll mean it then. I don't even have anything to COMPLAIN about. It's just NOTHING.

I'd like Nikki and Paul. Sort of a full circle for those two.

Now if David gave her gonorrhea and she passed it on to Paul, I'd suspect Ron Carlivati was writing ;):P:D

What happened to Maggie? Did I miss something? She was just startng to grow on me.

She hasn't been on for quite some time, but I don't think they've given an explanation. In fact, I'd forgotten all about her and had started shipping Nikki/Paul before someone mentioned her in this thread. Not that remembering her changes my mind.

I agree with those who will take bad story over boredom.

      I'm not saying he was right. I'm just saying he wasn't screaming. I hope we see him apologize on screen.

      I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.

      -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?

      This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.

      Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?

      WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
