Lol I have faith in my boy. I don't want him to be a goody two shoes but I think deep down that he's just an injured boy who needs real love. His mom was the only one who gave it to him and now that she's gone he's totally lost.

Heather is just blah to me. I hope he doesn't end up with her. Lily could be interesting. Or Colleen (Either AL or TS work for me).

God almighty. Nelson's so right about recasting those girls.

Love Nikki to death right now. Also, love how all of the characters have been cunning recently. I think that was a major problem under LML. Everyone was a complete moron.

Finally, Jack and Adam and Sharon are delicious. Tuesday's episode had me salivating. And Sharon hadn't suddenly been pissed with Jack. This has been building since the Sabrina article. she specifically told him no more lying then. But all these little things built up. When Jack went to Mexico, Phyllis lay that sheet of suspicion and insecurity down about his whereabouts, the credit card company called about the Motel charge, then seeing Adam yell at Jack for being a snake and Jeffrey whispering about the deal. It's all slowly been adding up for Sharon. She didn't say nothing over the last couple of months because, as she said, she wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope this is enough. I'm sick of Jack whining to Sharon about how important she is to him. My God, if she was, you'd respect her enough to not lie to her. Bastard. I hate Jack. God damn him!!

<sigh>

I guess I'm in the minority in saying I love the Victor storyline. And I love that I actually hate Heather. She's not a pit-bull in my book. She's a friggin pest. But I love that the character's gotten this reaction out of me rather than the actress, which is more than I can say for other actresses on the show. I hope she continues to be a thorn on the Newman's side because it lends the show an air of realism and culpability.

Y&R got me thinking how strange it is that I do root for the wealthy snobs who make up this show. In general, I'd always side with Heather for stopping them for getting away with whatever they want because of their money. But not in this case. It's a strange feeling to feel for rich people.

I agree

Actually, hasn't this been building since the Senate race? I remember Sharon being disgusted with him even then.

A few of us like the Victor story. I haven't seen him this vulnerable ever...and that is also interesting. He's not "weak" vulnerable, he is build-a-wall vulnerable...and that is totally in character. I agree about Heather, too. She makes me want to throw my shoes at the TV...and that's not a bad thing! Sanctimonious, holier-than-though b*tches can be AMAZING soap villainesses (from an older generation, think of Enid Nelson from All My Children). I view this as a terrific writing choice. The actress is not superb, but I feel she will strengthen and strengthen. Let's put it this way...there are some MUCH weaker actresses currently on the canvas!

I thought the same thing yesterday. I WANT these spoiled Newmans to get the better of law enforcement. What I don't know is WHY. It's not like they're nice people :). It's just that law enforcement is SO ridiculous on this case!

That was the BIG issue I had with LML, everyone was so f**king stupid and sincere and just...agenda driven. It was bullsh*t.

And I have ALWAYS been on the side of the rich, every soap, every time. The lone exception was Bobbie Spencer on GH, but then she was aspiring to wealth...I don't know what it is about soaps, Y&R in particular, but regardless of how good people are...if they're rich...I give them a pass.

Does that make me a terrible person?

Today wa such fun. Phyllis-Nick-Sharon, Jill-Kay-Amber...all brought the comedy.

Meanwhile, Marge-Murph were surprisingly interesting (I'm wondering if Murph might be the start of a long-term romance for Kay...a "rich woman, poor man" story). I like the Sharon-Brad scenes too...I find they DO have a chemistry.

The young-set tomorrow looks like fun.

That Senate race fiasco was in 2007, yes? I've blocked that year completely from my mind so I can't remember any subtle remarks or brief exchanges during that period. Sorta like LML slipped me some ruffies and I woke up December 2007...

Oh man, totally GET that building the wall/vulnerability side of Victor! So awesomely written. Also, sanctimonious is great. But I always have to remember that Heather's actions are a lot more base than that since she does hate the Newmans for how they mistreated Adam. The writers tend to go with her "Law enforcement will rectify all" angle for those scenes, which is a shame because vengeance is always fun to watch on soaps. So, if they could blend that in, I'd enjoy it all the more... not that I'm not loving it now LOL.

But, yeah, Vail's a great bitch that definitely needs time to mold her craft. She ain't there yet.

OMG, I got so pissed at the VILE Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl last season because she did all these desperate things to become popular (Bobbie's equivalent, I suppose). Meanwhile, I'm jonesing for the ever-popular Blair and her more devious machinations to destroy Jenny. So, I totally don't think you're a terrible person LOL.

Let's not lower Bobbie Spencer by comparing her to Jenny Humphrey of Gossip Girl...Bobbie was never desperate, she saw what she wanted and she went right ahead and got it.

But yeah, I am always on the side of the rich, powerful and devious...usually because they have a sense of humor and are nobody's fool!

So there, we are not terrible people.

I enjoyed the episode too. Billy's line to Chloe and Amber's line to Colleen were funny. LOL

Yeah, she was good. Great scenes with Karen and Neil.

I also liked Eden and Noah's scenes. I'm starting to like this young couple in the making. Can't wait to see them in Paris.

      And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      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?

      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!
