Believe it or not, I agree. Although some of the viewers take it out on her portrayer, which is unfair to say the least.

At least with Tammin, you can hear what she's saying. Maybe if Adrianne had stopped whispering and mumbling and spoke the hell up, she'd still have a job.

Not going to lie, making fun of Colleen was the first time I've liked her in a LONG while.

Love me some Billy and Chloe. Their plan together shall be fun to watch. So thinking Billy is doing the going for Lily thing to screw with Cane, which works. Just give me the end result of Chloe and Billy.

Olivia *heart*it's fun having her back. I'm hoping they tie her into the Lily stuff.

Now, I will admit to being a Family Ties junkie, so MG on the show I've been a fan of. But for the first time, Gloria made more sense to me today-the whole set of scenes I really liked.

Eden and Noah--that was cute, fun and a nice different pace. I think someone at Y&R finally got a better idea of direction for the character of Eden--the scenes flowed so much this week and were much stronger.

I liked young Gloria too. Maybe they will keep her on and show how she went from Lowell to Tom with two little boys. It would do so much to explain the current character. The thing I love most about soaps is to see a character on screen for 20 years, and before this week I never thought it possible to do with different actors. Way to go Y&R. Although, if Gloria is to continue, which she should, she needs to spend 6-12 months in jail for her crimes, accidental as they may be.

Accidental my ass! What Gloria and Kevin have been doing to Katherine is pure EVIL. She needs to burn in the fiery pits of hell. Sorry Judith, love ya but Gloria no longer has my sympathies...but if she must stay on...Katherine needs to literally beat the sh*t out of her. And then Jill needs to scalp her and throw her out the Jabot boardroom window. Literally. It needs to be that violent.

Half of you might like Eden by now, but I just don't. Ugh. Bad. She needs to go. But she already taped episodes through the entire November.

The birds on the trees are singing "Erin Sanders sucks," yet she isn't gone. Many actors and characters were recast, yet this one sticks? Noah might do good, but with Eden, the teen won't be recreated. Ugh.

Makes me think that the of the net responses are not that negative. Also seems as if they are still evolving the character, and for the better. This week has been good.

Add me to the liking of the young Gloria casting--I was shocked at how similar they looked.

I havent watched in a long and Im watching the first half bc Im off today. What the heck is going on with Victor?. Nikki's gained some weight. She looks different from the last time I saw the show

I cant beleive Jack and Sharon are still together. I would have thought they'd split by now

Hi everyone. Newbie here. I've been watching Y&R for a few years now. I liked the show thru it's ups and downs and I'm loving it right now. Even the Michael/River/Gloria stuff is exciting to me.

I agree though that the most compelling story right now is the Katherine/Jill storyline. My heart was breaking that day when Jill took her keys away. The music was haunting and just perfect to me.

And oh I'm a Phick fan but for the love of God they really need to give Phyllis her fire back. I need Susan Walters to come back as Diane and stir some stuff up again. Nothing will ever match a good diva fight between those 2!

And on a final note I LOVE ADAM! Lol the best new character on Y&R for me right now. Billy comes in at a close second.

I'll be honest. The Gloria/Lowell backstory is doing nothing for me. Mainly because I cannot buy GloWitch as the self-sacrificing, caring mother and irresistable wife.

And if Eden is tolerable right now, it is entirely down to Tracey E. Bregman and the actor who plays Noah.

The little boy playing Fenmore is adorable. I loved those improv scenes when Michael was tossing him in the air. "Super Fenmore!"

Tonya Williams really made me sit up. She is even more beautiful than she was before! I hope they give her some real story and not recurring actress stuff.

Victor's pity party is getting old.

Nick finding the bugging device in his home was an unexpected twist for me and I liked it. LOL at how obvious Phyllis, Nick and Nikki where when they knew they were being bugged. "Oh, hello, Nikki! HOW ARE YOU? Have you got NEWS about VICTOR?"

Jill/Kay/Marge. :)

    • 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.  
    • Thanks!

       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?
