Oooh, Lily finally being a little pissed off...But um Colleen is an Abbott, why would it be such a stretch for her to be the fresh face of Jabot?..And dare I say Billy made TS(whom i'm no fan of at all) look alive in their quick scene?

I agree. I really like Miller and his portrayal of Billy is refreshing, but he needs to tone it down a bit on some of his "Richie-isms" (the bizarre facial expressions and vocal intonations). He's playing a character now that has his sanity, unlike Richie, a role that gave him a bit more latittude. Otherwise, I can't wait to see how Billy's story unfolds.

I LOVE this change in the Lily & Colleen relationship. I really hope they go full on frenemies into enemies with them. Because id love tos ee TS play a bitch. I think she would do well if they made Colleen more of a bitch than a heroine and Lily needs a bitch play heroine against to be honest. I am intersted in these two for the first time since the old actress'w ere in the roles. Loved Graz's face watching them argue.

Billy Abbott :wub: ... I actually lOVE how Billy Miller is playing him. I dont think he needs to done it down at al. The way Billy is playing him is why i actually believ the playboy rich guy womanizer angle of him they are selling. But Billy plays it with enough heart somehow that its not one note. I know there is more to him than that, and not just based of his past on the show.

BM & DG had major sexual chem. I kept wondering if Billy & Cane were brothers.. or lovers. I like it. lol.

The moment they had that scene at Crimson Lights, a few weeks ago, and Colleen was all "Oy really loike your ex-husband. Oy'm gonna date him, kay?" I sat up to watch. Because there was more fake sweetness, pent-up resentment and bitchiness in that scene than any featuring Lily with, say, Chloe or Amber. And I've got to hand it to CK, girl doesn't have an iota of chemistry with DG but with the female actors her age, it's a different story. Lily was really irritated with Colleen and that irritation has only intensified since then.

I guess I can buy BM's mannersims here (and I absolutely love him as Billy, don't get me wrong) because he is playing a role and constantly "on show" -- the youngest brother to this siblings, the charming rake to his peers. On Tuesday, when he hugged his mom, though, the mask dropped for a moment and it was a glimpse into the real Billy who has bottled his rage and feelings of rejection. I think Billy is going to reinvigorate the character of Cane, too, and hopefully give him his balls back.

P.S.: Cane isn't the only brother Billy's got that kind of chemistry with.

me too. But i thought that would be it. Dropped. Then today i loved it.

Lily: Uh, actually, there's something that I want to talk to you about. Look, I know I said that I was okay with you testing to be the fresh face of jabot, but I'm not. I actually would mind a lot, and I just wish I could be happy about it, but I can't.

Colleen: Well, it's not like I stole your job. I mean, you quit, lily.

Lily: Yeah, I know. I'm just being honest about how I feel.

Colleen: Okay. Well, then I need to be honest, because the more I think about it, the more I want it. I mean, especially since it's for the company my grandfather created.

Lily: Colleen, I understand that. I'm just saying that if you get the position and you accept, then fine. That's your right, t I don't have to like it.

Colleen: What does that mean?

Lily: It means that it's gonna have an effect on our friendship. (Lily walks away)

Colleen: I don't know how to handle this. I don't want to lose my best friend.

Daniel: Well, you know, I can totally understand where lily's coming from, but if you take that job, I don't think that you're gonna lose her. You know, yeah, your relationship might take a little hit, but you guys will b able to work it out, won't you? I mean, look at all the stuff that we went through, and we're still friends.

Colleen: I don't know, Daniel. I mean, after everything that's been dumped on her, I think this could just push her over the edge.

Daniel: So are you rethinking the jabot job?

Colleen: I don't know. It's an amazing opportunity, you know? But I guess there are other jobs.

Daniel: Well, I guess you're just gonna have to decide if it's worth it.

However, that part stood out. Could they be setting up a Lily loses it? humm....

Thats why i buy it. It seems like a show, an act. To mask something., And for that split second when he hugged Jill you seen the act drop.

Oh, and i cant comment on if PB & BM have sexual chem because i cant stand jackass. It clouds my judgment.

I haven't seen yesterday's show yet but how's that for a big ole anvil of foreshadowing! If so, they've been laying the groundwork for weeks now. I always thought it was creepy strange the way Lily seemed to be totaly OK with losing the love o' her life to Cane. I actually thought those Crimson Lights scenes from a few weeks back were actually the result of tension between the actresses as opposed to the characters! :lol:

LOL, it's probably just me but Jack was practically purring in his scenes with Billy! I am very intrigued to see how DG and BM interact, especially since Miller has been playing up the Cane obsession since he arrived -- including immediately after sex with Amber!

Other bouts of inappropriate chemistry: Danny looking like he wanted to lick Daniel. Seriously.

Ha, i didnt think it was via tension between the actress' ... i just didnt figure much of it, but i liked it. So im glad it wasnt just random. And yeah, i can see lily breaking down. sooner or later. I also like Billy's intrest in Lily.

Speaking of Daniel.. Any scene between him & Nick. Josh & The Graz just sex it up together on screen. Also, Michael & kevin sometimes seem to be veering into more than just friends Chuck Bass & Nate Archie areas ... Then there is Kevin & Michael but i will just leave it at that ... Oh, and nuNoah and Daniel ... Oh, and we cant forget the love between Paul & JT.

As for the girls, Amber & Chloe could get it on any second.

OMG, today's episode ended GREAT!

But first... LOVED Chloe vs Colleen! So much fun! But I kinda liked Colleen vs Lily, so with Colleen deciding to reject Cane's offer, I hope they don't abandon Colleen vs Lily thing. It makes both girls much interesting than in their romance storylines with Daniel and Cane.

Okay, I admit, for the most of the episode I didn't pay too much attention, cause I was making lunch and what not. But the ending... PERFECTION!

Nick and Phyllis are in bed and Sharon calls because of Noah! Phyllis is clearly pissed, even though she doesn't show it! :lol: Nick leaves to deal with this! Woohoo! Take that, Phyllis! :)

Then, Billy shows up at Cane's, Cane can't open, so Chloe does and we learn that Chloe and Billy know each other (well, not that we didn't already assume this, but it was still cool)... AWESOME!

And previews for tomorrow look great too! More tension between Sharon and Phyllis, along with the continuation of Billy/Chloe/Cane stuff. It's gonna be great!

Oh, and are you people sure that Eden is a short term role? Cause they're really pushing her into this new teen scene. Which I don't really like, but as long as that storyline takes the back seat, I'll leave with it.

No, nobody said it's a short term role. A few of her airdates were given at the beginning, and that must be a trial period or something. I hope they drop her, but I have a feeling she'll stick around. The character is fine, but the actress is just extremely annoying. I never want to her her cry or yell ever again. Ugh.

      6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.

      Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.

      When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.

      There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines.

      Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.

      Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.

      This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point?

      I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.

      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.
