This is very unfair, dmarex! :P I was just waiting for YRBB to open both the B&B and Y&R thread and you come in and spoil it all! :lol:

I actually have yet to understand this fixation with opening weekly threads. For a change, I'd like to see MarkH or someone open a new one. B)

The Kay/Marge stuff is great. The flashbacks are wonderful. It's a celebration of Jeanne Cooper!

I'm also really digging the Jack/Adam stuff, they're both so awful, they deserve each other!

And again, I am even starting to *like* Heinle as Victoria. I am still dumbfounded as to what exactly happened...but it's true.

The Marge storyline is excellent. I have to admit that up until this point, I have always thought Jeanne Cooper to be somewhat overrated. Now I'm beginning to see that I was wrong.

I'm beginning to lose faith that they will EVER update the opening credits. Less than half the cast is featured. The most glaring omission is Kristoff St. John (his reels were dropped when Victoria Rowell left). There are four alternating reels at the moment and Michelle Stafford is in all of them. And as much as I love MS, that ain't right.

The only thing that I even remotely like about the Victor storyline is Jack and Adam. I just do not care for the old man and even as much as I like MTS, I'm sick to death of the Newman's!

I've ALWAYS loved Jeanne Cooper and I'm so excited she is getting a meatier storyline (it's about damn time!).

DaytimeFan, I really think in the past few months AH has really stepepd it up. I have come to love her as Victoria, and as much as i love heather Tom i have to be honest, i dont want her back. Because i do not think they will ever write for her victoria the way they should.

As for the opening, at this point id prefer a title card to be honest.

Just caught Monday

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?

I would like it if they made Kay and Marge long lost sisters and had it be that Katherine's mother or father was just like her and gave away/sold one of the children. Maybe they were doing an experiment on twins or something.

Due to some recent casting news they should either reverse the Cane is Phillip stuff or write that they were also twins and Katherine just thinks she gave away the one and only Phillip. Although I gotta laugh at the idea that Nina is in her mid 30's or that Cane is not a totally old pervert chasing a young virgin, I mean innocent, like Lily. Except all these convenient family re-writes is becoming a bit like AMC, which turned me away with its storyline reversals.

That Branco column was funny. My favorite line was "Heck — I could play the aforementioned roles better than their current portrayers. In fact, my dead grandmother could — and win an Emmy!" Right on, Y&R is mostly stellar except when it comes to the odd bits of dead weight that have to be propped up constantly. I also liked the Lily's back part, was she even gone for a day?

Plus, more Billy please. Why is it we get overloaded with the bad actors and the new good actor gets dished out like an expensive truffle, in small little doses??

Yes! It was an old trademark Y&R music piece.

Is this Paul Rauch's influence?I say that because MAB has been around for awhile and this is showing up now.

We have to add Kate Linder to the list of performers who've had work done.She hardly looked any different in the 1990 flashbacks.

Colleen/Daniel/Amber/Lily etc are definite backburner characters at the moment.

Hopefully they are there while the writers plan out some interesting developments.

    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
