Monday's episode is the greatest episode of Y&R I've seen in a long time. It's flawless.

I even liked Devon! And usually I f--king hate him! Jess Walton, Kate Linder, Melody Thomas Scott and Julianna McCarthy all knocked it out of the damn park. I am LOVING bitchy Ashley. She and Eric Braeden look just divine together.

Julianna McCarthy should stay on in regular recurring. She's superb.

I bet Kay left part of the company to Nikki as well. A Nikki vs Jill war would be awesome. MTS and JW have awesome hateful chemistry.

Ashley reminds me of Alex Donnelly's Diane with her smug attitude right now. She is totally rivaling her mother for biggest b-tch though. I loved Nina's response as to why she's not sitting with the other Chancellors LOL. Nina is a keeper! After Monday's US show, they're all gone aren't they. I think I'm going to cry lol, because this is STILL SO SURREAL. I never thought I would see Nina, Dina, or even Liz again on screen!

I'm still skeptical about this regime.

When a soap kills a veteran character, and writes its funeral, it always provides great episodes. That always happens.

But what is going to happen after this? We know Katherine is alive. Is she going to loose her memory? I'm asking because, although these episodes have been great, I don't have my hopes up over the follow-up being as interesting.

The Paris stuff was embarrassing too. B&B's location shoots were way better (see Tawny chasing Becky on a Tower in Venice if you want to see what these occasions should be about). The storylines, the settings they chose (pretty bland, IMO), they were pretty much a B-. Victor wandering in the streets mourning his young love of his life? PUH-LEEZE. Victor, you're 93 years old. Mourn as much as you want, but please, don't act like a baby who was denied his toy. I thought it was all quite stupid.

And then there's the rest: Victor's journal, Chloe who lies to Cane about her pregnancy while she loves Billy (?!), Lily chatting with Billy just like Billy used to do with MacKenzie, Esther not playing a part in Chloe's scheme (it would have been great if Kay and Jill were totally against Chloe, and calling her on her schemes while Esther blindly defended her). There are many things that really don't get me excited - they get me worried.

I hope she does leave something to Nikki as well, since with Victor coming back to the Ranch she'll be homeless again. Unless they have finally built her a set for the house she bought for David, maybe using some of the features from the Paris sets. Does anyone remember if Jill and Kay each owning 50% of the Chancellor mansion is still in effect? I hope she leaves Esther something as well.

Shouldn't Nina be staying for the reading of the will? I don't see Kay cutting out little Phillip, unless, like Chloe, she forgot who he is.

I think Kay might be missing for a year or more. Maybe she will have complete and total dementia and never remember who she is.

Did anyone else find DG/Cane to be even more noticeably weak as an actor when he was speaking at the funeral, after all the great performances?

I think it's evident that Nikki's going to get something good in Kay's will and that Jill is going to get screwed. It's going to be awesome. And yes the 50/50 ownership of the Chancellor mansion is still in effect...welcome home Nikki?

I think Kay will be missing till February sweeps. Rest assured, whatever this 'dementia' storyline is it'll be resolved somehow and Katherine will blow back into Genoa City like a hurricane.

Yeah, I didn't think DG was all that convincing, Billy Miller's performance was superior and he's shared maybe 10 episodes with Jeanne Cooper? I think of the all the eulogizers Kate Linder was the best, in fact, I think Kate Linder has been quite the star this whole week. I believed Esther's sadness, it was palpable. While Nikki was hysterical and Jill was in shock...Esther was truly sad.

The Paris stuff was awful, and much like Clear Spirngs, I dont see it has having any significance in future storylines.

It is clear to me (being an online viewer) that this wa mainly done for promtional puposes for the anniversary in France, but since it was planned months and months in advance, their is no excuse for why their was basically no story. I wouldve love to see TGVN/Nick scenes, or Phyllis/Ashley scenes in Paris. And though I undersatnd the point of Shick interacting like they were back in the day, thats how they always interact. Woulda been nice to see a more mature or evolved Sharon/Nick interaction, instead we got basically the same thing from them that we get in GC, cheating included.

Not even the sudden last minute addition of MS saved the story IMHO

Clear Springs was supposed to be the climax of several storylines, and it was a freaking bomb. Paris was supposed to be the set-up of storylines that would continue towards the end of the year into 2009.

You really don't see how Phyllis hiding the fact that she saw Nick and Sharon kiss has future significance in storylines? Something is going to blow up in that quad obviously, and they used Paris to speed it up (while they promoted in France).

Also, you don't see what Victor and Ashley's reunion will do to both Nikki and Jack?

Paris obviously wasn't for Nick and Phyllis fans though. I hate that couple, so Nick and Sharon's kiss didn't effect me.

      Teach me to post cocky about all these rampant relations! As for the cut, it just made Leo Howard look more stunningly handsome. There are guys I think are hotter, but he's got the prettiest face hands down.

      Yes Arianna and Sami are blood related through Sami and Theresa. They are also adoptive/honorary related because Arianna's third.parent is Sonny, which makes Arianna and Tate related through Justin and Isabella.

      I saw more about Biden Old or the staged feud between Elon and Trump or just the usual distractions, but I will admit I don't stomach most of the news anyway.

      Figured it was something like that. It's just feels weird that Will came back to see John but he's not gonna be at his funeral but

        They are blood related. Through Sami and Theresa. I didn't notice it last week, but it looked so fresh today. Like he got cut minutes before they started filming or something lol

      Bill convinced the Governor to pardon Luna. Steffy was too busy badmouthing Hope & Brooke for most of the Spring to concern herself with such trivial matters.

      There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.

      There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.

      I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out.
