All I've seen of Cindy is her being insane and taking care of children. If you could point me in the direction of some scenes where she is doing something else I'd gladly be willing to change my opinion. (I think the actress playing the role is good, but I don't think characters written as crazy are interesting just because they are crazy...)

Didn't know bout Phoebe's backstory but it makes her reaction all the more understandable. Don't really get the fascination with Darren. He's always seemed an idiot to me and heartless until he realizes that Nancy could really leave him. That's the only time he manages to pretend to care.

John Paul.....lol. I've never seen such a pathetic character in all of soaps. If not for nancy he would have stayed quiet. In short Nancy summed it all up when she stated how she had to be "man enough" for the two or em. I don't have any sympathy for him. I hope Nancy never forgives him.

And of course Nana will probably die as a result of his confession. This guy just ruins everything and everyone.

Off Topic: How do you block certain posters? I don't need to read garbage/fake analysis from someone who's never watched the show before and is only doing so to provoke me.

What a fantastic episode.

I loved the beat they played with nancy and John oaul. That's touchy and hard to pull off because it can easily become victim blaming, but everything nancy said is correct and I totally get where she was coming from. A lot of people were hurt because he didn't step up and come forward - even though I get why he didn't.

The actor who plays Finn is really good. So is the actress who plays his mom. I get why she's in denial about it but I'm so glad tony is trying to get her to see this could be true. I don't like her and tony together, but the actors play well off eachother.

Nana McQueen, I just love. Her story was so sad and I hope she's ok.

I hope this has nothing to do with the naive, because TPOS was posting about me as they think my life revolves around them when I've actually had the, on ignore for the better part of the year now - at least.

For the record I started watching because two of my real life friends started watching on Hulu and I noticed hair my twitter feed was talking about it. I loved Mercedes who I briefly watched years ago when she was sleeping with her fathers husband. I don't front like it's anything more than that. It has zero to do with you and I only undid your post to see what DR could be revering to. Please block me and stop letting my life have an impact on yours because that just sad.

Her father's husband? LoL. Now that would have been something. I can't believe you only know Mercedes from as late as the Riley and Carl Costello days. You missed so, so much. RIP MALACHY!

Oh Carl, you should never edit yourself in these foreign threads. I may disagree with you sometimes, as is bound to happen with me enjoying the shoy and you, obviously not, but NEVER stop posting what you want to here. I love your posts. Rants a plenty that they may be.

It was Nancy bashing, as I have always, always hated her, and I find the remark the writers gave her to be borderline homophobic (but this show has a host of anti-gay writing choices), but I don't have a right to comment if I don't watch on a regular basis, and I know everyone else who watches the show loves her.

Lol now THAT would be a story!

Yes that's the first time I really watched the show. I had seen bits of it here and there with John Paul and his first boyfriend, but I just didn't care enough to find torrents and edits and whatnot.

Hulu made it very easy and I'm so happy for that. I'm sampling some other overseas soaps they have.

Trust me at best you're an annoyance but like most things in life fakeness and going with the crowd will get you far more ahead than being real and honest and non PC.

And once I find out how to actually block someone I will gladly do so with your profile so I don't have to read your all over field, hypocritical posts on any show that I happen to enjoy.

I don't know why BK even tries it with

*Sienna's one of the best villains this show has ever had. Wish there was a comparable character on American soaps. She's so twisted, yet, I can't help but pity her and Nico. Patrick can die a long & painful death, though. He set all of this in motion.

*I ship Leela and Cameron. So much resentment and past heartache goin' on.

*When was the last time Esther had this much screentime? She needs a love interest. Perhaps

*Not enough good teen characters on this show. George and Phoebe are both played out. I miss Maddie and Tilly.

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
