Monday's episode is another good one. I can honestly say that I'm really looking forward to what the rest of the week has to offer (even though we all know what happens)...

My only gripe is that the pace is still too fast (for my liking, mind). I'm also watching the episodes from 2003 (Dec, where the bribery starts to blow open) and episodes from 2008 still seem a bit fast.

Don't get me wrong, the quality has improved (greatly) this past week, but I'm a perfectionist.

I don't know why we have two topics on this week's festivities. No matter. I'll add what I wrote in the other thread in here. Monday's episode is another good one. I can honestly say that I'm really looking forward to what the rest of the week has to offer (even though we all know what happens)...

Also, I believe the promo has variations and ammendments to it.

because i searched for like 10 minutes trying to find a thread for this week and couldnt. and still cant. lol.

i do agree its moving too fast, but the past few months have been so slow. so.. idk. hopefully there will be a good classic Y&R balance soon.

there are a few promo's for this weeks events.

EDIT: I found it! a mod should merge this thread with this one - http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=27203

Aside from Esther, Jill currently has the lowest amount of appearances this month. That's what's bothering me. I know she will get a storyline, but I don't like to see her so rarely. Only 3 (out of 15)? However, Lily at 4 I can cope with. :)

I am just gald that they are writing Jill like she should be the queen bee of Y&R. Hopefully she can get the upper hand on Gloria once and for all. I know I might be in the minority but I just Love Li;y and Cane together and I can't stand Chole.

The show is slightly better. Still boring. And can they please STOP having that little girl sing! She has a fantastic voice but I am sick of her already.

SLEEPY TIME!! OH SLEEPY TIME!!!!! OHHHHHHHH SLEEPPPPPPPY TIME

SAY GOODNIGIIIIIGHT!! OH YEAAAAAAAAH!

And then the requisite panning shot of all the adults nodding their head in amazement of her WONDERFUL voice.

Its just contrived.

    • Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland. IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances. I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
