Tonya Lee Williams looks gorgeous. She hasn't lost a bit of her touch, it sure is fantastic to see Olivia in her all her fierceness. I really hope Tonya stays put with the show and pulls a Tracey Bregman, the show just feels right now that she's back.

The Kay/Marge/Jill stuff is electric. My concern, however, is how MAB, HS and SH plan on resolving Katherine's dementia?

One thing that is working for me right now is the limited appearances of Victor Newman.

It shows trhat the show can work without his presence.

Unfortunately,he will return and probably dominate proceedings.

After 28 years,maybe Victor and his colossal ego need to be back burnered.

I get the feeling things may not be going all to well in the Scott household which may have led to MTS's weight gain......

I can't believe Shack is still together and I've been watching the show in good times and bad.......

The reduced screen time when it comes to TGVN has been great, but I'm beyond tired of the storyline they have going for him right now. His brooding and acting out over "The Oh So Great, Innocent, & Only Woman Who Ever Loved TGVN For Who He Really Is Sabrina" is wearing mighty thin, and the

better be damn good for making us put up with all of this. I did love Adam getting his comeuppance though......

I HATE that they've made Nikki feel like all of this was her fault, she didn't know how bad Bow Wow Chow truely was; and the way they have her going so much out of the way and putting her ass on the line for TGVN has me a bit peeved. The one bright spot has been really enjoyable scenes between MTS and Doug Davidson.....

So, I'm finally watching Thursday's US show. (Day late and a dollar short...travelling; thank heavens for CBS online!).

Can I say I love, love, love the Noah-Sharon dialog. Someone there at Y&R has an adolescent son.

Losing his travel permission papers in the bottom of his backpack!! So totally authentic for 98% of teenage boys.

And then that exchange when Noah got wrapped up with Eden, and failed to meet his mother out front at Crimson Lights. Sharon gives him trouble and Noah says, "Watch your blood pressure." To which is mother TOTALLY AUTHENTICALLY replies "Watch your mouth!". Awesome.

OLIVIA!! I love that they are writing her with some Dru fierceness and protectiveness. For the most part, Olivia was always milquetoast in the face of Dru...so it is nice that they are giving her some more strength now against that "Ozzie guy".

Olivia shares a secret with Karen, eh? Olivia was Karen's doctor in New York. A bit of a contrivance, but it INSTANTLY makes that part of the storyline infinitely more interesting to me. If Olivia cares, I start to care.... Gosh, I love this show!

Also, here is a question for you music types. At the end of the show, River has a final flashback to kissing Gloria and Michael goodbye. A gentle guitar song plays in the background. I THINK that was a classical guitar cue from the 70s and 80s of this show...or at least very close to it. Can anyone confirm??

LOL don't know about "fear of God", but she is more effective than she was with Cassie. But I think that is because Kevin Schmidt is a revelation. Totally natural and real.

I'd like to see how Joshua Morrow handles scenes like this.

Also, what about Noah's grounding for being at the keg party? Any enduring consequences? Seems like he is getting a trip to Paris for his behavior :).

I so agree with you here, I'm loving that the old man's appearances have been limited, makes the show a lot easier for me to watch. And yes, as I've always suspected, the show can go on without the EB! The only thing about this storyline that even remotely interests me is Jack & Adam.

I think Adam must have lost sense of where he came from when he started working for Victor... (after all, money is the root of all evil).

I'm really enjoying Kevin Schmidt as Noah, he and Sharon Case play well off of each other.

I love any scene with Billy Miller in it but I do wish they'd limit his scenes with Trampoleen! He may even make me like Lily which would be the first in a LONG while actually since the Kevin Fisher and Daniel days.

Jill

Kay/Marge

Esther

Adam

Victoria

Nikki

Jack

Gloria

Jeffrey

Victor

Katherine/Marge was gold.Intrigued as to how this story will play out.Katherine gave Marge her card with cell phone number.How did Marge contact her in the first place?was it a call to the office?

Gina should be a part of this in some way,as she was married to and betrayed by Clint.

Good to see Adam challenging Jack-laying groundwork for long term rivalry.

Victor in the church-pleeeaase!!

Like the dynamics between Gloria and Jeff.She has to pay for her misdeeds in some way.

Where is Brad?

Does anyone know the name of the actor playing Frank the forger?

    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
