I have finally caught up as well! And even though I did not enjoy the Lauren/Zack affair, it did provide some great soapy moments!

Please register in order to view this content

The reveal at the wedding was really great, when Whit jumped on Lauren, omg!! And all the confrontations that followed, it was all very well acted and really fun to watch. 

The birth scenes were lovely, especially the moment between Bianca and Whit. And then Sonia comforting Bianca after the truth came out, as Bianca cried.  

Do I wish Whitney was getting a happier ending? Yes. I wish the affair never happened and Zack and Whit left town together. But it is what it is. I just hope Zack and Lauren don't get together now. 

As someone who never really loved Whitney, I really did get teary eyed seeing her leave. Everyone clapping was really nice and it was more like people were saying goodbye to Shona. The moment between Sonia and Whit in front of the bus was sad, when she said to call Bianca.

As for other storylines, I was happy to see not many Mitchells lately, so that's a plus. I was surprised to see that George's sparing partner was Junior! And then Junior having a wife and a kid, after sleeping with Bianca. Interesting stuff! Bianca seeing them at the cafe and nudging Junior was fun NOw that Bianca is staying apparently, hope her affair with Junior will also lead to something.

I cannot believe I was so interested in the teens! Denzel and Amy's bedroom scenes were really good. Both young actors did a good job. Nugget is a real Panesar, isn't he? I was surprised at how he lied. But good scene there when Amy tells him that Denzel will replace him with someone cooler and then Denzel trying to get Nugget out of the filming session. I'm curious where all this goes.

I hope this is not the end of the storyline with Yolande and Pastor Clayton. 

Great to have Freddie back! I really missed him. He has such a positive presence shining from him. 

I hope the focus doesn't go back to the Mitchells and Billy's dad, because that storyline has been the least interesting for me.

I kind of like how it's been written, I think Whitney did get a happy ending in a sense. I feel like her having a baby and fostering a kid was her happy ending, and that she didn't necessarily need to have a man to have a happy ending. I guess they were trying to emulate what happened with Biana taking on Whitney in a way, even though the difference is that Bianca was with Whitney's dad. I like how Whitney started reflecting on her behaviour and how men have always treated her badly. They even touched on the abuse again. I kind of liked Whitney because of how things never went quite right, but I do think it's nice she's finally had a baby.

I'm the same. Was never a huge Whitney fan but I did feel emotional seeing her leave. 16 years is a long time so I guess we're bound to feel something unless we have hearts of stone! I didn't see Whitney ever leaving until it was announced.

Oh, I totally agree!! I didn't mean to imply that Whitney can have a happy ending only if she marries a man. Where my feelings of sadness emerged the most were during the wedding, when you know that [!@#$%^&*] will go down and Whitney will have her heart broken and her world will be turned up side down, not only because the man she loves slept with someone else, but that someone else is her best friend and on top her mother new about it all along and didn't say anything. So I kept thinking: "Oh I wish Whitney wasn't getting such a sad send off". 

But you are definitely right, that she did find some quick self reflecting, which then helped her reach peace and thus a happy ending, of sorts, with her daughters. 

I just felt bad for her during the entire ordeal. 

For sure! I am sure I would have felt it more if I actually watched during the entire 16 years. But I was there in Whitney's beginnings and now this last year.

 And it was sad. Seeing her say goodbye to all the friends and family.

I fully stopped watching sometime after Bobby was revealed as Lucy's killer... was that a live episode back then? I think so, no? I remember watching that for sure.. so probably some time after that. 

And then I came back last year in August.

Where are you currently with the episodes?

 I'm currently watching 2005 on UKTV play and Drama. 2005 is when I first became a fan of the show, so it's interesting watching it back.

Omg, yes! Hahaha I miss Jo Joyner and Tanya. 

I think I started watching around 2008. I watched Emmerdale around the same time and it was the first time I ever switched from US soaps into UK soaps. And I loved it. 

Oh thats not too bad Means you got the interesting episodes coming up! Enjoy!

      Ugh. I genuinely hope not; I pray, somehow, CHCH-DT is told to provide a one-day pause. The last thing we need is a Y&R situation with this soap. I'm pretty sure Samantha is the older twin.

      As usual, Jane Elliot stole the show. GM was good as Gio as were Rena, Dominic, and Amanda.   I also thought the actress that plays Emma was low key, but perfect at the same time-just listening and reacting.

      I'm surprised it took me this long to get into RH. The soap is so damn good, I am just as obsessed with the Ryan's as Delia. The Ryans are a great family unit and seem like good people. I wish I had a family like that. This show has so many parallels to BTG. Frank's mystery is very similar to Martin's. Both are my favorites on each show. adding more thoughts soon once I get a consistent watch going.

      I also get why Gio feels his life was a lie. I get everyone's emotions are high now That's why I think Monica passing will be the catalyst that starts to the healing process for Gio, BLQ, Lois, Tracy, Ned, Olivia and Dante

      Judging by the fact that I was able to watch two episodes today, looks like Canada being a day ahead might be permanent.

      Agreed! I normally don't rate Amanda Setton that highly as an actress, but she knocked those scenes out of the park. Between this and the Michael storyline, I think we're in for a week of juicy drama. I heard everyone talking about how dull Rory Gibson was on Y&R, but I thought he was pretty good today playing a steelier version of Michael. And I loved Wiley's little "Bye mommy!" moment. The writers clearly know how much most of us hate Willow if they're tossing out little nuggets of schadenfreude like that one.

      Slower day, but not bad. I thought Tomas was at his personal best today, flirting with Kat at Uptown.  Hayley is pregnant!  Oh boy... Samantha felt more like the babysitter today vs. the young sister. I'm ready to meet Sharon. I want a strong dynamic so it's not a repeat of what we just saw with Tracy's reunion.

      They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before.

      I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
