I am going to approach August from a safe side. I don't want to be too excited about. It's better to just think about the show as it was during the last few months, and then get surprised when things start cooking up in a good way.

Have you tried it lately? CBS' player is MUCH improved. They did something 1-2 months ago...it is now reliable, you can easily navigate back and forth, and the screen size is much larger. I hope the affiliates don't mind when I say I actually PREFER it to watching on television. (Exception is Y&R, because on my HDTV, Y&R is like a visual feast from heaven)

Listen...I don't want to "go long", but can I please just EFFUSE about Y&R's Wednesday (US) episode for a minute??? I posted something similar on Usenet and I'm cutting down here. But I haven't been this enthusiastic about an episode since 12/26/07, when we started noting instant style changes. The writers are starting to get their mojo, I think.

(Quick ETA here: The credits were: MAB/ Hamner, Bennett&Gottesfeld, Minardi/ Kanelos!!! That means the much maligned Kanelos in the W&D thread (with whom I have no history, but I know she wrote for Port Charles and had a character named after her there) wrote IMO one of the best episodes in a long time!!!)

I agree - today's show was awesome. SO many good things I'm excited about happening. Where to begin?

Chloe - she's a devious little witch and i love it. Gloria's shemes got real old so a new vixen is very much needed and Chloe fits the bill. I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hope that her "booty-call" is someone we know. My top suspect would be Brad but if they wanted to go for a super-shocker...how bout JT! Plus, since Cane looks like he's going to fire Chloe a lawsuit could be brewing. What doesn't make sense (yet) is that Chloe just set up a whole new working relationship with Lily and Cane - did they make us sit through all that for the whole thing to end? if not, how can they possibly work together?

Victor/Paul/JT - I like this pairing. It makes sense and i cannot wait for the s/l beat when Paul learns about Victor's gripe with Heather and the confrontation between the two. If Nikki were to end up with Paul 9which I'd also like to see), a Newman/Williams feud would be fun. Does Victor even know Heather is Paul's daughter??

Karen/Neil/Tyra/Devon - This is the weak link on the show right now. I know they're setting it up, bit there's nothing interesting at all about this s/l. They can go a lot of ways with this s/l but all paths lead to snooze: Neil sleeps with Tyra, Tyra's ex comes to town and causes trouble for the Winters, Karen and Tyra feud? All boring stuff. They better beef up Karen's character and make her have a soul and some intrigue.

Oh and on the topic of Victor's Magic Sperm - I think that they are going to do a quick throwaway of dialogue to explain this. Vasectomies can cause complications - the most common is a hematoma. The only solution is to reverse the procedure. I think when Nikki eventully finds out, she's going to be the one to say "impossible. not your baby" and so on and he'll say "not that it's any of your business but I had the procedure reversed due to a complication while we were separated, you got that?" and it's done. All the other theories and whispers just seem implausible.

And since no one else says it - I love Y&R, dammit! There's a reason why they're still number 1! And no, my name is not Barbara Bloom :P

I liked Phyllis too on today's Canadian show. I think a Phyllis/Amber rivalry would be fun. I may not like Amber, but I don't think Phyllis is being wasted on her. I much prefer when the vets and younger actors cross paths, so that way it builds history and character ties to the show.

Oh, and I would love to see Chloe file a lawsuit, that would make things very interesting.

Same thing here. It just shows that somewhere deep inside of that dark soul there is a bit of a feeling left for dear ol' Nikki. And the Heather/Adam thing should be fun... :)

Nice banner, JackPeyton!

I'm glad my 1,000 post goes to Y&R! :)

What's the story on Heather's mother? I read that Rebecca Staab was coming on to play her, and I love Staab, but never saw her appearances or heard the backstory. Was it a character that had a history with Paul on-screen previously, or was Heather just made up and written into history after the fact?

Any background on this?

      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.
