Love the picture and loved Monday's episode. It was classic Y&R, from the music to the writing. Things are shaping up beautifully for November, and right now Katherine has the best story IMO. Both JC and JW are doing excellent work, which proves they can still be captivating without screaming like banshees.

The London hotel room looks a lot like the suite Jill moved into in the mid 80's after her first divorce from John.I think it has been used several times since for various purposes.

Liked the mention of Leanna Love and Ashley's references to her past traumas.

I think Sharon Case is doing a fine job potraying her character's emotions.

Yes to Jill/Billy/Cane.I would like to see the two of them alone discuss this,with their concern for Katherine balanced by their rivalry.

The Marge/Katherine scenes are being shot very well.This must be a big workload for Jeanne,whisch she is handling like the pro she is.

Also.The director Dean LaMont through in a few trademark 'flower shots'.

The Katherine and Victor stories are the A list right now.I realised the Micheal/River stuff hardly aired last week(if at all) and wasn't missed.

They do need some stronger back burner plots to be simmering.

Hopefully Adam and Heather won't walk down the aisle soon,There are too many married couples on the show.

Scrap all the previous, "classic feel" episodes we've seen. Jill goes home, sees Kay, music starts playing, Dean LaMont throws in flower shots, classic Y&R blocking and suddenly I feel that I'm watching Y&R from the 90s. This is the real deal. It seems they're going back to it. :wub:

Where is Daytimefan, our resident cosmetic surgery guru? We need someone to analyze Eileen Davidson's new relaxed and younger look. I swear, this is probably the best I've seen her look in at least 5 years!

The show is back to being produced like a classic Hollywood movie, everything seems so elegant and plush.

I can't wait for the Paris stuff at the end of the week.

Looks like tomorrow is a filler episode, with Ana, Tyra, Eden, and Gloria. But Ashely's in it, so I look forward to that...

Agreed, Agreed, Agreed!

And DaytimeFan's expertise is much needed regarding Davidson. I would guess alot of facial fillers but no surgery...

If there is one family I could take out of Genoa City it would be the entire Baldwin family.

And Daytime fan, I mentioned in another thread Tracey Bregman's complete makeover since the 80's... the woman looks amazing. I would love to hear your take on her as well..

      Yes, Nicole. DRAG HER!
    • Writers: Teresa Zimmerman Lynn Martin Director: Steven Williford
    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
