Sylph, Sylph, Sylph! Always questioning the devine Melody Thomas Scott . Always insinuating she wouldn't be there if it weren't for Mr. Mumbles or her hubby/longtime executive producer. I'm appaled. :P

MTS has been very good these past 2 years and it seems she actually found her knack for acting, yet in emotional scenes she's still not that much impressing me. She's definitely become a good actress and much consitently better than some years ago. Coming from me even such a semi-critical statement about MTS feels like complete devotion, though, considering I can't that woman. But I won't get into this matter anymore.

As for the production values: they are on an upswing ever since LML and hubby got booted out of their asses but right now the wardrobe for MTS is all kinds of wrong. THe exposition of cleavage screams cheap streek hooker and doesn't reflect the story at all.

Got a chance to catch Tuesday's ep. Victor was downright hostile to Nikki! I wasn't expecting a heart-warming reunion, but man he still holds alot of anger toward her. It kinda surprised me that he said that the two of them had a "sick" love and it must die.

And IA about the changes in Adam - especially on Tuesday. I still love the character, but the writers better tread carefully here and not take him too much farther down the darker side. It was nice that he told Heather he has to be that way with everyone except her, but he was pretty rough with her for the majority of the show.

Did anyone else notice that JFE was credited as just "Janice Ferri"? Why did they drop Esser from her name? Not that it matters, I'm just curious.

I just watched Thursday's US.

I love Victor's return. Love how he brought back Neil and how he berated Adam. Those scenes were great! But who was that housekeeper at Newmans?! Estella? Where is Miguel?! Since when is this Estella there?!

And the other moment of the day: Chloe comes to live with Jill and Kay!! Woohoo! This is gonna be so great! I'm glad that they mentioned why Kay didn't recognize her and how Chloe changed her name legally.

Cane and Lily sucked... I FFed that.

Good show!

I hear ya. I badly want to enjoy them because it is a love story and Y&R don't do as much of those as they do family and business. Also, Daniel Goddard looks like he is trying so hard! Which is why I sort of want him to end up with Chloe because Liz Hendricksen has total command of her character and the dialogue.

I'm going to see how the Lane kiss goes down today, but I'm not holding my breath.

:lol:

Golden Boy = Adam? I always thought Nick was Victor's golden child.

Still getting caught up on Wednesday's eppy..Loved Jill and Kay's confrontation and Kay pointing out Jill's hypocrisy in the current situation with Chloe. And just because I'm seriously in EH fanboy mode right now, I looove that that girl can hold her own with JW and JC.

I thought Adam's "rise to power" and Victor's return happened way too fast. Adam was like only on top for what, 2 weeks - same with Victor being dead. You have to build up both Adam and Victor's situation. Sort of like Kay Alden's "Takeover" storyline. That was brilliantly done. Victor's return should've been something like that - when he returned the shit was going to hit the fan, after long build up.

    • 6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol. 
    • 1986 began with the EP change from Gail Kobe to Joe Willmore and the HW change from Pamela Long to Jeff Ryder. Over the course of 1986 there was turnover in the HW ranks: Jeff Ryder, Jeff Ryder and Mary Ryan Munisteri as co-HWs, Mary Ryan Munisteri and Ellen Barrett as co-HWs, Joseph Manetta, Joseph Manetta and Sheri Anderson as co-HWs. The 1986 ratings reflected the quality of the show. GL was saved from cancel territory in 1986 because Capitol was still CBS's lowest-rated daytime drama.
    • As Michael should be...DARK.   I'm just getting through my first few scenes of Rory as Michael. And I'm already picking up chemistry with LW, EMcCoy, and SMattson from the jump. I liked Rory as Noah on Y&R, but felt it was wasted potential. So far...he's proving me right. 
    • Oh, lord. Those rumors are true, aren't they?
    • Is it supposed to be romantic that Victor and Kyle are using Claire as some sort of contractual agreement? Ridiculous. I was waiting for Claire to squirt water out of the huge flower on her dress. And within minutes of the Monday episode beginning the first mention of ...guess who???  
    • I haven't been able to watch GH lately, but I just saw this clip.  Wow.  Rory Gibson is so different from his time at Y&R.  This really speaks to the bad writing at Y&R I guess! A lot of fire here.    
    • @soapfan770 Thanks for the Sheri Anderson interview. So she admits to being influenced by Wall Street, but did she really think that 25 years later (going by real time) the audience wouldn't notice the dust off of The Sound of Music?

    • Thanks @soapfan770 . Sheri seems to have a much different take on Emma's husband than I remember the show having.
    • Lucky said he’s gonna travel this summer with Aidan. It was a quick line. Willow looks dumber by the day somehow.
