It seems like Skye's destiny is sealed, although I'd love it if somehow she stayed alive. She seemed to too happy to see the person on the airport... Was it David, or Brad, or maybe Walter? I dunno, but I'm loving the mystery. It's actually intriguing, and with the promo I saw, it's going to get better. :)

Graz is insanely hot angry/happy/undressed. And I loved him putting Phyllis in her place. Sit down, Phyl!

I just cannot stand the Newman young 'uns -- Nick, Victoria, Phyllis -- all giving Sabrina the snotty attitude and evil eye after she apologized to them. It was just like Devon, Lily, Cane and Colleen looking down their noses at Chloe. So high school. In fact, Victoria's bland bitch tude actually makes me wish Sabrina would slap those poseur glasses off her nose.

Speaking of characters we are meant to like, but I don't -- Brad. What is his motivation for actively getting David back on the gambling wagon and ruining his life? I mean, if David were addicted to crack and Brad bought his a crackpipe and lighter in order to move up the food chain at jabot, would that be understandable? Explain please.

Great Kay/Jill scenes today.

And I almost felt sorry for Amber. I think I must be coming down with something.

Wow, are you serious? I thought Hogan's stuff didn't start until August. That's awesome!

I am finding myself more interested in Y&R lately. And it's great that I'm finally starting to care about Genoa City again.

I used to hate Daniel and Amber and the thought of them as a couple made me sick, but I watched their break up scenes today and it was awesome. Adrienne Frantz is one of those over the top actresses that takes it too far at times, but Michael Grazadei helped pick up what she couldn't manage in his acting. He's great. They have today's episode as a selection for their Emmy reel next year.

It's nice to see some conflict, especially business conflict, between Katherine and Jill. I just wish they weren't always together. I see that they're slowly pulling them apart. For a while there, they were never apart. But now, we have Katherine in scenes with Amber, and then in scenes with Victoria, Sabrina and Jana. And then Jill was with Brad. And lets not even talk about the sexual chemistry Jess Walton and Don Diamont have together. :wub:

The only bad part of the show for me right now, honestly, is Restless Style. It's beyond stupid. Does anyone really like this story?

A week of plots and schemes---- how wonderful. Let's see what we have:

1. Jil and Brad against Katherine: this should be fabulouss, can't wait.

2. Boris and Natasha(Jeff/Glo) and sidekicks are at it again. Tired of Glo

so I can wait for this comedy of errors.

3. Michael helping his mother AGAIN. His duplicity where

Katherine is concerned is gettiing on my nerves and should be addressed.

Can't wait for him to get what's coming to him, should be good.

4. Jack. Why have him plotting and scheming when you just know he's

going to get caught. What's the point.

5. Phylis against Amber. Should be good because they are the same.

6. Victor against EVERYBODY Enought said.

7. Chloe against Cane/Lily. Boring. Jil's reaction should be good

especially since is a younger version of her.

I forgot, I love MAB writing for Jill. It seems like she enjoys the character, and has big plans for her. I love how Jill sees right through Brad wanting power, and is going after Chancellor Industries/Jabot Cosmetics. Jill/Brad vs. Gloria/Jeff throw in some Katherine//Nikki and possibly Jack, and you have yourself excellence in the making. I just hope they do a better job than the BE takeover of Llanview.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
