The what? Have I missed something? :o

Exactly my thoughts; Victor has been acting totally not like he would act if he were up to something, that's why I can't figure it out. But maybe he's acting this way exactly because MAB wants it to be a surprise, both to us and Sabrina mon Petite Parlez-vous.

Chloe is pregnant (obviously the daddy is one of her "booty call" friends), and now she's going to pin it on Cane. If they had sex today, how the heck can she know she's pregnant tomorrow? I hope she has a good plan to break up Lily&Cane (a.k.a. barf), but I just don't like it. Eventually Cane is going to do the math and figure out what Chloe did.

Oh, OK, lol thanks. Haven't been too regular a viewer up until last week :lol:

Sounds like classic "stupid plan that works until the stakes are high enough and blow up in the schemer's face" storyline :lol:

Yeah, and the problem is I really like Chloe. I wish they had found another way to deal with this. I don't like Lily/Cane together. They could have had Cane showing his real face by cheating on Lily or something, but having him act like a little puppy in love is just stupid. I don't like it. For now, I'm just glad that Lily had only one appearance this month. Hopefully they won't try to make up for her absence during the first 7 episodes of this month.

Same here. I'm disappointed that she's actually straddling him while he's passed out because that's date rape, no? Although the jazzy music was supposed to hint at something more comedic. <_<

Thing is, I think EH and her character would be such an asset on Y&R. I don't watch AMC so I'm not familiar with her work on that show -- I just like her as Chloe and the fact that she has massive chemistry with pretty much every person she shares a scene with (including Jill, her would-be mentor). Even the hate chem between Cane and Chloe -- if he hadn't gotten so drunk, they could have gone down the "spectacular hate sex" road.

Or even had nothing happen between them but Chloe lets Cane believe that something did... I don't know. I'm just bummed that two characters I really enjoyed have been devalued in some way via a rushed plot point.

You know, I didn't mind Gloria and Jeffrey when the first began sparring but I am really over them now. OK, congratulations. You are over 50 and have back-breaking sex. Please go and enjoy it somewhere were I don't have to hear you refer to it. Oh, and Gloria needs to tone down that witch's cackle and the open-eyes kissing.

Shock. I liked Phyllis today. She was plotting against Amber so much, she forgot her valley-speak!

I hope there's a chance they could fix this. I loved Hendrickson since she first arrived in Genoa City. I hope they won't eventually throw her under the Lily/Cane bus, although it already seems like they do. She could have done bad things to other characters.

The writers concluded so many LML disasters, but they keep leaving the most disgusting one (Lily/Cane) active. Why is that?

Yup, I don't want to hear about it either. I love Judith Chapman's portrayal of the character, but she scares me every time she kisses someone. It looks like she's about to kill whoever she kisses at the same time.

LOL :D:P:lol:

We don't actually know if she did it... it seemed like she did... but it could also be that she undressed him and went to sleep. He couldn't be THAT drunk not to know if he's having sex.

And Jill was in 2 out of 7 eps this month... NOT good.

Well, then that's good. There's still a chance they won't ruin her character...

I wonder who she has been having sex with... she had no friends when she came to Genoa City and now suddenly she has "booty call" friends...

Karen has been confusing me a lot lately. First it's all okay, and then suddenly she backs away when Neil suggests raising Lily's child. Then she freaks out about that commitment and leaves town... A few weeks later, Neil goes to visit her to ask her back but she refuses... and then changes her mind, but wants to take things slow... then a few eps later she's already sleeping with Neil. She's always so insecure (beginning with the stage fright) and constantly changes her mind. Is it lazy writing? Or are the writers coming up with some sort of a background story for her? I'd love it if they invested more in this character, she's quite boring...

Black widow spiders kill their mates while doing it, don't they? :lol: I like JC too in digestible doses but ix nay on of ex say alk tay. Sabrina and Victor limit their "we make sexy time" references (thank GOODNESS), so why should we have to endure talk of G&J's animal stamina?

It's funny how reticent some actors/writers on Y&R still are about the romance/sex aspect of their show. I think Phick were the first couple to really embrace lust/passion in a way I had never really seen on the show before (although Larry & Jill were cute).

But other couples still look stilted and embarrassed. Cane & Lily's "first time" was cringe-inducing in the extreme -- not least because CK was forced to speak French which is obviously a language she is not familiar with (through no fault of her own). And only last week, Sharon & Jack made blushingly uncomfortable reference to "alone time." I swear, I felt as embarrassed as Sharon Case and Peter Bergman obviously did at having to "rush" up the Abbott staircase in their haste to get to a bedroom. :blink:

My supposition? They got rid of her when they started to look into bringing Victoria Rowell back.

Then news that VR visited the OLTL set broke.

So then Y&R backtracked and got Nia Peeples back on board. Only they haven't a clue what the hell to do with her. Or any AA character on this show, really.

Yep, I really could have lived without knowing that Gloria is good in the sack. With the fighting storyline ending, what is now on the horizon for Glo/Jeff? I hope they won't let them continue divorcing/marrying... but then what's next for Gloria? Probably Lowell/River storyline or something? I wish they had gone somewhere with the cream fiasco. For a while it seemed like they were going to do something about it, but it's all gone now.

And Lily speaking French before making love to Cane? I am still scarred.

Branco asked VR in this week's column if the Y&R people have approached her yet and she said "No." That's stupid. What are they thinking?

      I would REALLY like to know why Rauch and Harding Lemay hated Jacqueline Courtney so much. The hate for her almost shimmered off of Lemay's book. He constantly ripped her acting. I never understood it. Was she the greatest actress ever? No, but she very good and had that certain something that made audiences like her. Lemay adored her replacement on AW. I forget her name--because she was extremely forgettable! There's got to be some story behind that story.

      The "LiRic" fans are going to eat them up. (and somehow that is her most viable current relationship)

      I'm not familiar with Irna's timeline of comings/goings, but I got the impression Neil Wade was written off circa 1967-1968.  (And I might be jumping to conclusions, but I also felt maybe the character was jettisoned because Rosemary Prinz was leaving?)   I know who Doug Cassen is, I think.  Wasn't he one of Claire Lowell's husbands?  They didn't mention Neil was his son.  But clearly there was a LOT unmentioned in the short synopsis that I was reading.

      That makes sense. Rauch did like to play games, as shown with some of the antics with the Labines. We should make some screencaps.  I can imagine her not being thrilled by much of anything in 1996.

      I believe he also turned out to be Doug Cassen's son. I could be wrong about that. Yeah, he doesn't get talked about much in the history books.

      Cady McClain said the same thing with her hairdos - she switched it up so much because she was either unhappy or bored.  Kim must have been unhappy in 1996 because she has so many different short styles, it's wild (haha).

      She definitely was trying new things with her hair and makeup in the 1986 scenes I saw so it tracks. Rauch wouldn't have been there, but it just strikes me as a conversation Rauch would have had with her with when he was at GL. Rauch loved to badmouth JC. So she put it in the book as if she had been told at the time. It's like how she has Michelle Forbes on GL years before she actually arrives or Ellen Wheeler firing people who had been fired yrs. before by Rauch or Conboy.

        From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline, and that was up to and including the week of Diamont's party, and after.

      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.
