The Winters family drama finally got a shot in the arm with Tyra and Ana stuff on Monday's episode. They're finally interesting. Though, I understand that many don't care for the Winter's, Tyra or Ana, so...

The Jabot stuff this week should be very interesting.

And there's more variety of sets and some newer built sets for Monday's US episode. Where is Y&R getting all this money from? I'm glad for it though.

As I mentioned in the Directors/Writers thread, Janice Ferri Esser is listed as Co-Script Editor again on Monday's US episode. However, it wasn't an episode that called for much historical references.

This should be another good week, a lot is about to happen. :)

I've always felt Tyra is a useful character if written correctly. Let Neil be more of a father figure for her or big brother. Don't just throw them together romantically because she's black. I'd romantically put her with the younger crowd. Billy, Kevin, Daniel, Cane, etc. and see what happens. If Nate is a medical student, maybe bring him back for her. But putting her with Neil would take the character several steps back. Putting her with JT would be another move that would give the show a shot in the arm.

Are you referring to his last scene? On the other hand, Eva Marcille did the 'far away' look during Tyra and Devon's scene together. I really liked the scene because it gave more backstory regarding the emotional pain they suffered when they were kids due to Yolanda.

I think that Yolanda's return could be great if everything gels well.

Great clip of Heather Tom. Her Victoria is the only one who I thought could truly replace Victor in running Newman Enterprises one day and replacing the great Victor Newman. She loved her mother but she was so much more like her father than Nick.

I know everyone is loving the show, but I am missing one of my favs, Tracey Bregman. She hasn't been on since Kay's funeral when she had those two great scenes facing off with Sharon and then apologizing to Tracy Abbott. I just don't understand why Bell and Scheffer are writing so many characters great storyline and nothing for Lauren and then the one they wrote for Michael and his father was poorly thought out and was basically turned into a Gloria story then backburned altogether so Michael can play lackey and lawyer to Victor.

I always believe Tara took Ana and left town, and that why she came to see Neil with lies and more lies. I won't believe that for 11 years Tara raised Ana and Ana believe Tara was her mother. When Tara and Ana ran away ffrom the school that Katherine attained for Ana, she need more prove of Ana like her Birth Cert. Tara must been receiving funds for her or her mother Yolanda and the State wanted prove of Ana whereabout. I never believe Yolanda just gave away her daughter.

I hope Neil and Karen marry. Know one needs Olivia view point about who they should be with. Where Oliva family or man.

Are they bringing Dru back? Jack and his family getting Jaboy back, will Gloria ever pay for the Tainted Cream and the woman dying, I hope the family get the company back, but I hope Sharon leaves Jack and her and Nick get back together.

Two Rats in a hut should be together and I talking about Jack and Phyllis.

    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
