Val Bloom seemed rather happy.

OMG, what is up with Tonya Lee William's weave? She has money right?

I'm looking forward to Gloria wearing orange and Phyllis looking a particular shade of green. I'm ready for the Phick breakup so we can get down to all the good soapy stuff, including the reunion. Let's get on with it! :lol:

I think the way Jill's been styled for the last few years was deliberately done to give her more 'class' and to contrast her to Gloria who is totally new money. I would say we also see a bit more of Jess Walton's personal style (ie the chunky jewelry) mixed with a matured (ie frumpy) Jill. Now, it appears the right balance has been struck. Jill Abbott is hip, sexy but not desperate.

Y&R's a different animal since the week technically starts on Friday for the Canadian viewers. I think it is a good indication of the current state of the show that people can't wait until Sunday to start discussing the week ahead. I'm sure Y&R will eventually return to a horrible mess and there will be no rush to create the Y&R thread.

The show has been so good that I don't even want to watch the Canadian spoiler. I make myself suffer all weekend then watch with excietment the next day.

I don't remember that last time I did that. And that includes days when Nick and Phyllis are not on. The entire show is kicking butt.

I like Loren & Micheal...but the rest of the Baldwin/Fisher clan needs to go down as much as Gloria. The whole family should be wearing orange. :lol: I want Tracy to deck Lauren!

God I am loving this damn Katherine storyline- and LOVING Jill and Esther at each other's throats!!!!

Anybody notice how they are using the classic Y&R musical scores(pretty much exclusively) with the Bill Bell classic style Katherine storyline?

The minute that music comes on from the past its like I am 13 and its 1988!!!

Between Y&R and OLTL to hell with this "Daytime is dead" stuff!

++But yeah, the Winters and Baldwins are boring me. I am not a Gloria fan at all. I am not really a fan of the actress's acting style either. She is just too MUCH. And not in a good way. And as far as Tyra Banks Winters- I hate when a show pimps a character that the audience doesn't like. You can feel the awkwardness - I am talking Tyra Banks Winters. I just don't FEEL her. She is a sorry subsitute for Rowell IF that is the intention. I am loving Olivia being back though. She is ageless and I am enjoying her more than I though I would. They need a good old fashioned bitch in this Winters storyline. Someone to cause trouble. Tyra is just too icky sweet and icky boring. Let Olivia be the stalwart noble one in that family.

I guess since it doesn't effect the storyline, it's free for me to say here that Vail Bloom isn't leaving Y&R, as confirmed by her publicists. Plus, Chris Engen's representative said the same thing. Looks like it was only a rumor! Yay! ;)

The writing really needs to tighten for Heather (and maybe Adam, too) significantly. And Vail Bloom has GOT to develop more. Being half of an admittedly chemistry-full couple does not make a character. Heather has to be established more (shades of what we saw earlier, with the submissive Heather was fun).

      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!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
