This Nick and Sharon kiss in Paris is probably the best thing that could've happened to the character. It looks like it will trigger the Phyllis of yesteryear, and I can't wait.

Phyllis also needs to get the hell away from Nick, I don't how about the wonderful sex they have, there's very little of anything else in that marriage.

You guys are driving me crazy with the Abbott Mansion set updating! Everytime it is on now I am trying to see this "difference" and how it looks richer. I CAN'T SEE IT! And I pride myself on seeing subtle changes in production values. I always thought the Abbott mansion set was beautiful.

I want Paul to bring back George and Cassandra Rawlin's set! THE BEST SET EVER ON DAYTIME.

Yes It was absolutely Brad's house! Last time I brought it up I called it Brad's house, but most people remembered it as Cassandra Rawlin's house! lol.

I was 15 or so when it was first on and even then I was like "THAT is MY DREAM HOUSE." It was kind of masculinely decorated with this beautiful staircase that went through the entire set at a very low level at maybe a 40 degree angle. It was huge and amazing. I have never seen a set as impressive on daytime since.

It's a very structurally interesting set...not huge...but very detailed and unique. That's what I like about Y&R's house sets, they're all very different compared to the rest of daytime (AW had some good sets, as did AMC and GH in the 80s and 90s, but now it's all cookie cutter)...Kay's house, the Abbott mansion, the Newman ranch, Christine's apartment, Malcolm's apartment, each of those sets is unique.

That's the only thing I wish current Y&R had: Shemar Moore. That guy would be having a blast with all this stuff and with the way things are looking for Phyllis...oh it would be fun!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I had no idea that the set even existed anymore, or where the heck Brad was living!!

I had not started watching Y&R again until June or so after a 2 year hiatus.

Oh man I can't wait to see it again. It figures that Brad is completely backburnered..

And I agree, Daytimefan, Y&R's sets were not only amazing, but extremely personal, intricate, and lived in. The set decorators were- and are- excellent. They seemed to decorate for the character and not just for the sake of decorating. Y&R has had excellent taste.

No huges differences, just they way they direct the Abbot mansion set and the way its filtered seems different.

Look at this clip from 2007, where everything looks so bland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTE639X-ty8

Look at this clip from a few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vh_PoAdyl4

The set just "pops" more these days, at least IMO. The same goes for the Chancellor mansion set and that set was recently redesigned a bit, I think.

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • 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.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • 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 the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • 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!
