It was a hymn or some religious song, right? She sang a hymn in the nightclub before. Why does MAB/HS think that this a good idea or even entertaining? Why is she hanging out in a nightclub in the first place? It is all so freaking strange. They need to shut that kid up or have her sing in a more appropriate places. She should go sing at the coffee house or the athletic club.

Phyllis is being written with a spine again, I see. She's doesn't appear to be the school girl who only says, "Oh, OK" these days. They still need to break Nick and Phyllis up though, because that pairing sucks the life out of both of those characters.

I too notice that most scenes are ending with cliffhangers, which was needed.

And here we go again with Nick disinheriting Nick and Victoria. :lol:

And isn't Sabrina one smug bitch acting like she knows Victor more than Victoria and Nick. I wanted Victoria to smack her today.

I've watched a few of this week's Y&R episodes, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a lot less boring than the times I've watched it in the past. I also have to agree with everyone about the little girl singing, the two episodes I watched both had her singing in them, and I don't see the need.

I don't get why people are saying the show needs changes, it's really well written, well acted and well produced. It has a diverse cast of all ages and a strong black cast as well. Eva from ANTM is really good in the role of the single mother, I hope they give her something to do that doesn't involve Neil...maybe a romance with another guy on the canvas?

I'm enjoying the fallout from the article about Sabrina and how it's trickling into lots of storylines, and I'm also loving CHLOE! I hope they don't ruin the character with all this business with Cane.

This isn't the time or the place to talk about it, but when the heck will Y&R finally get a new opening. Or at least change ONE picture in it? For a #1 show, it definitely doesn't take care of that part...

Considering GL updates its opening on a near daily basis, and B&B updates theirs on a whim, you wouldn't think it would be that hard for Y&R to keep theirs up to date. I mean, seriously, it would take a few minutes on any video editing program to import two overlaying clips, make them black and white with a high level of brightness and contrast against a white background, and do a little text animation with the actor's names...and voila! One shot. Repeat for every cast member currently missing from the opening and you'd maybe take an hour, including time to edit them into the current sequences. I honestly don't know why Y&R is so bad at keeping their opens up to date.

Not to put an end to everyone parading but I didn't find last week that extraordinary.

Monday - Wednesday were pretty awful and the followingd ays were fallout which in itself was done well but it moves all too quickly.

Liked Amber/Chloe bonding, Jack vs Victor. The rest = could have been better.

I think it was Sylph who issued the reminder that one flashy line of dialogue doesn't make for 40 minutes of good drama. I totally agree with him here and that'S why I'm still waiting to be impressed from the new, new, new Y&R... I like it much better some months ago during the strike.

    • 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
