If only the Y&R script writers were as talented as you Cat!

[S&BFanForLife]

Ya'll are too funny. I love it!!!

Did JT say anything at the party or did he just pass out beer all day?

[sheilaforever]

I think that amazing method actor Josh Morrow actor filled in at least a Jude amongst all was Dudes...

I was shocked though that Amber and Professor DumbAss christened the Restless Sytle set... Such honors usually go to Prince Dickolas. Or did I blind/FF/miss a round of Phick action in this set!?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Again, we see shades of the old Phyllis, and they waste it on Amber?

[Queen]

I hope we aren't going to see Phyllis going after Amber. I'm really not looking forward to that.

I actually watched this scene, prepared to hate it given what both of you (for me) previewed.

I find you did the scene a disservice.

First, the scene was important "establishment" scene (IMO) for future events, and it did not drag. Bill Bell did stuff like this all the time.

Second, the word "dude" wasn't a part of the scene, and certainly not a repeated one. Nick just did the right thing--making sure Sabrina wasn't getting smeared. It was a perfunctory scene...and it simply sets up a later "betrayal" arc when Jack (you know he's gonna) inserts scurrilous material in Adrian's piece. I realize now that the intent was to diminish Morrow as an actor. I just don't think this was the scene to do it with.

[DeeeDee]

LMAO

[detroitpiston]

Ok, I understand where your coming from, and yeah the scene was used so that they could set up Jack betraying Nick(hopefully leading to the end of this crap story) but did it have to go on so long. I mean seriously, Nick repeated the same thing like 12 times. And how did I give the scene a disservice? I just simply stated I didn't get why they would spend so long on a scene that should have lasted less then a minute.

[MTSRocks]

Is it just me or does Chris Engen (Adam Wilson) resemble Colin Egglesfield (Josh Madden) on All My Children? It's been bugging me for awhile, and I finally figured out who he reminded me of.

[JackPeyton]

I could watch Josh Morrow repeat anything as many times as he did it. even with clothing, tho naked would be better.

[Cat]

OK, so I just received my CBS Daytime e-newsletter. Y&R has a picture of Daniel Goddard (Cane) and is promoted as: "Nothing can come between them but one woman is giving it her best shot."

I love you, Y&R, but where is the suspense? Why invest if it's a foregone conclusion?

[YRBB]

Me too.

That newsletter sounds really stupid

[MarkH]

Well, I didn't time it, but was it REALLY 3 minutes?

The disservice was more the subsequent post which riffed on "Dude"...which was not an accurate description of the scene No offense intended, so I'm sorry if it came across that way.

[MarkH]

That is an interesting point...they have been keeping him covered.

Yesterday was a nice contrast between Nick (untailored short sleeve shirt and chinos) and Jack (all pressed and crisp). They are back to minimizing Nick...something they STOPPED doing in the interval after Cassie's death, and certainly in LML's reign (when he became the no-BS straight shooter with some wisdom and intelligence). Now Nick is again the idiot who is being snookered by Jack and failed to listen to his daddy. I find that unfortunate....I preferred the stronger, smarter Nick.

But they even kept Morrow covered relative to Daniel Goddard. Goddard was wearing that very tailored (one might say tight) fine-weave shirt, so that Morrow's seemed billowing in contrast.

Like a lot of new daddies (3rd child was born fairly recently) I wondered if he gained a few pounds/had less time for fitness during this.

[JackPeyton]

I think they are just back to Nick is an every guys kinda guy. Because he is. He plays video games, drinks beer, likes to keep it simple. His style should refelect that, esp since he is at a place like Restless Style. Jack is... well he is nothing like nick. He would wear a perfectly pressed suit and tie everyday no matter what.

Tho,a s far as the char goes i do like this bit. Nick trying to protect Sabrina even tho he doesnt really like her, and Jack trying to smear her to get Victor. Nick will once again be placed back in the middle of the two - where he should be. Jack is very much father-like to Nick and Victor is his father. Also, the way Victor always comes out ontop re Jack, Jack does with Nick. Its intersting.

as for Morrow idk why they are keeping him all coverd up. He is sex. When i picture a sexu dude i picture Nick Newman and i want to see more of him in less! Thats an agenda to push right there - More Nick In less Clothing!
