I was thinking the same thing- but the BE thing offered very little for the viewers to see in terms of behind the scenes. There was nothing building up to that outside some talk of the shares being bought up.

Better paced is the word. Both Gloria and Dorian are scene stealers, but Gloria wasn't tearing down the name of the company, and let Jack in on the takeover, making it ethically in place. Dorian's was just revenge against Clint.

Yet everyone is dishing it out to the people who deserve it the most- Nikki to Jill, Jill to Jack/Nikki/Gloria, Gloria/Bardwell to Jill. I can't get enough of it. Especially the dialogue between Jill/Gloria/Bardwell. I want to see the episodes where Jill has to clean out of Jabbot.

AWESOME. Just so FUKCING AWESOME. I loved Dorian's get-up on OLTL, but it begun and ended right there. This one was much better planned out, and come on, it centers around Jess Walton. IA I wish Nikki was there to suck it too Jill. It's about time Jess Walton got her shine back! Keep writing for Jill! Only thing is the extras there looked bored lol

ITA...Jess Walton is a star, the more she's given to do the better she is.

Oh and I am finding the Katherine In the Diner storyline to be a treat! Even that sneaky Pearl stealing Kay's ring, a delight.

The only false note was, unsurprisingly, Colleen. Her attitude was odd. Didn't help that Tammin kept buggering up her 'R's'...

So Y&R is amazing- I don't know if anyone's watched the show online- but it's great!!

CBS has set up the website where you get to watch the show and chat with others who are in a "cyber theatre" making comments, cheering, and throwing things at the screen. It's wonderfully interactive in that you're watching it with other fans, some who've watched the episode, other who haven't watched in a while. It was soooo fun, that I watched the show officially 4 times today...All while throwing darts at Lily,Nikki, Jill, and Cane, making toasts to Gloria, and throwing kisses at Jack....it was the most fun I've had in awhile watching the show, and I recommend everyone give it a shot.

CBS is really ahead of the curve in terms of meeting its viewers needs. Screw the ratings.

With

and Traci not on the show regularly, I think it would be wise to write Colleen out, and maybe have her return a few years from now. She's never written into the Abbott fold and they really don't need her, and Lily doesn't need her as a best friend companion, because Lily is surviving well enough without her. So, I say, send Colleen back to New York to live with Traci and bring her back in a much more mature, and less-snobbish way in a year or two with a more mature actress.

    • Justice for Tracy, Sharon and Barbara! Anita is the real villian and she shouldnt be painted as the victim. The Articulettes was the dream of Barbara who founded them only for Anita to steal the group and throw them away when she was done using them for her come up.One of the worse things you can do to a person is ruin their reputation and Anita was complicit in having Tracy and Sharon basically trashed and blackballed, thus ruining any chance they had of bouncing back   I wondr if the public think Barbara's death was an accident but the sad reality is, she is likely forgotten as an unknown footnote in the Articulettes origin story.   Anita didnt do anything that would warrant jail time but she should suffer. I hope this story is really a redemption one for Sharon and Tracy whom have their names cleared and they are able to be celebrated and have their accomplishments to music history recognized on a grand stage. Right now, this has all been about elevating Anita's own self and reliving her on glory. She needs to take a back seat and do right by those women and honor Barbara's legacy. She's a part of black history and Anita erased her

    • -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

    • Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is). 
    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking. 
    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.
