It's about time Phyllis started acting like herself again, she needs to fry Nick when he gets back.

I want Phyllis away from Nick, and a bitter custody battle over Summer to happen. :)

It would be like old times for Phyllis...

Also, again, I just love the way they use music on the show lately. The classical music gives off a really rich and gothic tone. Y&R is wonferfully produced lately. I thought Latham tried to make it look like an ABC soap, when Y&R is and always will be more of a glam soap.

Yeah i seen it, and yeah i thought it sucked.

Ya know i sat here for 10 minutes trying to figure out what actors on Y&R were MAB, HS, SH and PR. LOL...

And i agree all around with you on everything.

IMHO, MTS has stole the show.

Bu JW has been fab, and its about time the show gave her soemthing real to play.

i couldnt agree more.

Sony has some more pics from Jeanne Cooper's 80th Birthday party at Y&R.

Here's a few:

Jeanne with Kate Linder, Kay Alden, and Michael Damian. I'm surprised to see Alden there, as she wrote Y&R from Chicago and does the same with B&B from there:

So I was watching Criminal Minds last night and they had a scene of Shamar's character watching soaps--and it was Y&R!

So my one issue with all of Paris is the blue screen stuff--the background was at a wrong angle by like 6 inches--it was too far down and made it all off for me.

Just getting caught up--it's too bad they recast Eden, I think Erin has really hit a stride this week.

I love Liz Hendrickson and she soo was amazing in the scenes and a different side of Chloe. Love her trying to comfort Esther.

Really enjoying Ambyr and Daniel together this time around--the scenes today were great.

So when Heather gets the heartbreak at whatever point, I'd love to see her totally get a dark side and go postal!

I'm glad to see a show having the characters doing like regular people when they lose someone they love, lying in bed and bawling. No running around and shrieking and begging God for answers, just plain old grief.

Tomorrow's show is noticeably missing, the Baldwin/Fishers and Lauren. Especially since they show them hearing the news. I am also disturbed by Ashley and Victor sitting in the front row, while others much closer and related, are relegated to the back rows. It's like VIP seating based on who has the deepest pockets and wants the spotlight.

I also don't know why Ashley couldn't just say to Nikki, Victor's alive and alright, leave it at that, instead of telling her to mind her own business. Jill also goes out of her way to kick Nikki while she's down, which further fuels my belief that this is heading towards Nikki hitting the bottle.

One thing I really like is Phyllis and Amber's exchange. It was nice to see Phyllis trying, even if it is just so that Amber can't kick her when she's down.

Jeanie Cooper was also hilarious as Marge. John might very well be a ghost visiting Jack, since Marge doesn't seem to know all either. Too bad Jack didn't do a double take and see her running around, while everyone else was ignoring her.

I don't want the Phyllis that was psycho over Danny back but I do want the Phyllis from when Michelle came back to the show. The scheming manipulator but not the psychotic attempted murderer (maybe even murderer) that was damn near Sheila 2.0. I accept that Phyllis had to grow and change to still be viable and not a cartoon but a heroine she's not and should have never been written as so. She should always toe that fine line between right and wrong and struggle to do the right thing, never the moral compass for ANYTHING!

^That pic doesn't show her dress off, her breasts were noticeably on the verge of popping out.

Phyllis is an anti-heroine, plain and simple. She might have good intentions going into stuff, but she always makes the worst possible decisions. She's also a snarky bitch, and should always be that way.

Jess Walton and Melody Thomas Scott were great today, and the dialogue they had in regards to Katherine was so rich in history and warmth.

Oh, and Katherine (well Marge's) coffin is [!@#$%^&*] BEAUTIFUL! LOL! Only on Y&R would you have a grand looking coffin like that.

Jill was such a bitch to Nikki and Amber, I loved it. LOL!

And, Phyllis is so messed up, and as soon as Nick walked in, she's using her body for him to show her that he loves her. There's no dept to Phyllis and Nick, it's just sex, which makes them a horrible and mind blowingly dull couple.

    • Thanks for letting me know! I thought there was a preemption until CBS confused me by uploading Monday's episode on Friday.
    • Lucky Day is an awfully good Doctor-lite episode focused on Millie Gibson and Jemma Redgrave - I am glad the show brought in Varada Sethu who continues to give major Caroline John/Liz Shaw vibes, but Millie was always very good in what felt designed to be a single arc companion and she's very good here too. She deserves a bit more somewhere in the franchise. The depressingly relevant storyline aside, I was most impressed by the showcase for UNIT and Kate Stewart. Jemma is always good but she was amazing here, noting the Doctor would've stopped her from going all the way re: Think Tank if he were there. Yet it's the kind of brute force her father could and did resort to in extreme situations back in the day. I almost hoped she would allow Conrad to be killed right then and there, which is something I think the Brigadier also would've done when backed against a wall over operational control and the safety of the Earth. She came very close, and the steel Redgrave exhibited (as always) was amazing. Whatever spinoffs can still materialize given the current streaming climate and DW's uncertain future (I do think it will continue somewhere, but I would not be shocked if it's back to a run of holiday specials for awhile a la Tennant's and Whittaker's), aside from the upcoming odd Sea Devils miniseries that's in the can, I still hope UNIT and Kate can get a proper one sometime.
    • I think it was just him  And it gave good explanations as to why Alistair was the way that he was. By the time the series ended, he was just evil for evil’s sake 
    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • 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?
    • Here you go, by special request! https://www.instagram.com/p/DJlXDnWJImW/ DAYS 9-26-90 Matt Ashford as Jack Deveraux in drag Edit to add: They let him be pretty!
    • 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).
