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.

      She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.

      I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.

      -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.

      6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.

      While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read.

      Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
