^^ I love Daniel Goddard but even he would probably admit that Cane needs to grow a pair, stat. That and a brain cell. He is so dumbed down at present.

As for Lane, dude is putting his all in those scenes with Lily. CK only comes alive with her female peers, though.

I agree.

Its just pretty common for actors to sell whatver the show is going with at the moment, and he did that. Also, comparing the couple to the show signature couple is rather normal.

I dispise Lane tho. They have had a few good moments, and i actually like the story overall, the actors just dont have chem. And whoever said CK only has chem with her female costars is soooo true.

OK, so Tuesday's show. Technically, IMHO, it's great. The music is wonderful. The lighting perfect for Y&R. Wow.

I'm loving the Chloe/Billy scenes. And for the first time in a loooong time, I'm enjoying Nick and Phyllis too. Their love scene came across as very natural and it's working for me. Even Jack and Sharon (never been a big fan of them) are having some fantastic scenes.

I'm so diggin' it, people! :):)

The only thing this show needs is a dose of Adam and Heather and I will be one happy MF'er. ;)

Today's show was well done from a production standpoint. I liked the Billy/Chole location flashbacks. Had this been Giffith and Morina alone, we'd probably get some cheap ass backdrop. LOL! I'm glad Paul and Maria took the effort to go on location somewhere in LA for this.

I actually enjoyed today, with the exception of Lily and Cane, those two just stick out in the worst possible way for me.

Yes. He should be with actresses like Phyllis, Sharon, or even Ashley. That would be a perfect fit. That said, he's okay when he is seething or longing IMO.

Does this mean Morina is gone? The "location" mandate seems to be CBS-wide (actually, "daytime-wide")...so as a new hire, Rauch and Arena Bell probably just got marching orders to "do more locations"...don't you think? In other words, I doubt this is--per se--an early creative decision of Rauch's...but more of a change that was presumed as a condition of his hire.

What about the old story that "locations are too expensive" (even when it is in the same town)? Has this changed? I'd rather see in-studio work against a cheap ass backdrop than spend money that will lead to cast cuts and other nonsense.

That said, the Ashram scenes really bothered me. Set in Malibu, they should have GONE to Malibu (even if the wedding was on the "beach" instead of in an Ashram)...especially since they DID go to the beach for Victor and Nikki's "farewell" scenes. That was a place where a location shoot was really missing.

      The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?

      Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
