Another great week coming our way, I can just feel it. It's very enjoyable to look forward to watching the show.

[MarkH]

I agree. Although I'm a little concerned because some of the current setups seem like exit storylines for newer and promising characters.

I love this cool new "black background Y&R logo" that CBS used in their promos last week.

Jess Walton has cut her hair shorter than ever and she looks GREAT.

Also, the audio flashbacks used for Kay's storyline are delicious.

That new logo is fugly IMO.

And damn folks, it's not even Sunday yet(lol).

[dm.]

I am worried because it really does seem they're exit storylines. I'll be very sad if some of those exits come true, but for now I want to enjoy the show as I've been for the past few months.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Indeed, though I still miss the long flowy hair she used to have.

I used to call it "Jill's Whore hair." LOL! She worked that look so magnificently. But the new shorter cut makes her look younger and more radiant.

[DaytimeFan]

Oh I'm with you, I LOVE "Jill's Whore Hair"...Jess Walton could easily rock that today, I feel it would make her look even younger, can you believe she's hitting the big 6-0 this February?! She easily passes for 50 and could even pass for a 'used up' 45.

The way she's cut her hair for Monday's episode is the shortest it's ever been and it looks MUCH better than the mid-length flipped out style she'd been sporting for the last few years. If Jess insists on keeping her hair shorter (WHY JESS WHY?!) then this is the style to keep it at, the flipped out look is matronly.

Actually, since MAB came aboard the show Jess has been looking particularly better than everyone else. It seems like MAB made a few calls to her pals on Rodeo Drive and got Jill Abbott's wardrobe an update. Really, the cast as a whole is looking more stylish.

Any pics of the new hair?

[DaytimeFan]

Afraid not, if you can use the Global TV Y&R site (yr.globaltv.com) you can check it out. If not, wait till Monday, Ms Jess Walton is looking fly.

I noticed Jill's hair, and love the sophisticated smoothed out hairstyle much better than the choppy mess. I think the wardrobe all around has improved significantly, with the majority looking like the upper class business people they are portraying. Except for Sharon who still looks like she shops at the trailer trash second hand store, but that has always been that characters style.

I found Monday's episode a tad boring. I am so sick to death at the show acting like Neil and Tyra are some kind of soul mates. Especially since they keep emphasizing that she is only 27, and he has to be pushing 50. It isn't Karen that makes the pairing with Neil boring, it is that Neil is such a boring, set in his ways, fuddy duddy of a character. The only reason him and Dru worked well was because they were complete opposites, and Tyra is no Dru. Why can't they pair her with Adam, or Cane, or Billy, or Kevin if they don't want to develop the cute detective into a viable character. Anything but this Daddy and Daughter dynamic they are hoping the audience will bite into and clamour for if they keep shoving it down our throats.

[Antoyne]

Oh wow it does look damn good. Really does give her some youth.

[Paul Raven]

I'm looking forward to seeing Jill.as recently she has been looking quite frumpy,with the layered hair,chunky necklaces and drab clothing.

Gloria is dressing more the way I picture Jill should be looking.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

CBS posted a video on their YouTube channel at Y&R's 20 years at #1 Celebration. Anyway, Maria, Paul Rauch, and Barbara Bloom all give speeches. Ignore Daniel Goddard's annoying and ugly appearance.
