The Brad hater in me wanted Brad to be responsible for killing Skye, afraid she would reveal the scam they had going....but then I realized that Brad could be used in a better way. I still want Brad & Jill to get together. They could have sex in the boardroom and Katherine can walk in.

I don't know who they could pair Brad with. He's such an ass all the time. Diamont rarely adds anything new to the character. When he was younger, sexier and shirtless, I could get pass the smugness. Not so much anymore. He does need a relationship though.

I like Brad in his limited capacity right now.

FAST FORWARD/MUTE/EAR PLUGS/SNACK BREAK ALERT!!!!!!

BOTH ANA AND DEVON SING ON TOMORROW'S US SHOW!!!!!

On a brighter note, the Adam scenes ROCK. And judging from the previews they get better with Adam/Nick.

I didn't have a problem with Michael helping Victor last week while Victor was staying with Sabrina, but Michael having to plan a funeral for another man's wife and a woman he hardly knows is too much of Victor to expect. Victor may be in pain, but he needs to make this about his dead wife and not himself. And they need to let Michael be more than a glorified gopher for Victor and who ever hires him. At least he threw Adam's orders back in his face. Michael works for Victor and is doing much of this out of friendship. He doesn't need a junior Newman telling him what to do.

Now that the death and "funeral" will be over I think we should get back to the Newmans being on no more than three times a week. I know this story will continue which is fine, but frankly I am Newmaned out. I need a break from seeing them and all their anger and bitterness five days a week. It's been Newman nonstop this entire year. And they had plenty of story under LML also. They have eased back on too much Gloria, now they need to do the same for the Newmans. Even an overexposed favorite gets irritating if they are on my screen five days a week, month after month.

OK, I do notice the much darker lighting on the show, Y&R's always had dark lighting, but Latham added a more neutral dark shade to the show, and now I've noticed it's gone darker than that, much like how Y&R was lit years ago. Griffith must FINALLY be doing his job...

So, I'll be in London for the next two weeks, and I won't be able to catch the next two weeks worth of episodes (unless I find time for those torrents!), anyway I hope an upward momentum continues creatively for the show.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

    • OIC Thanks. I saw thzt & looked for a prior  ... never mind. 
    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
