Another thing! I am so glad that Ashley is back. I think she is back for good.

Eileen gives Ashley a very intelligent vibe. I like her.

I don't always buy Nikki as a business woman, or god knows I don't buy Gloria at all. Even Phyllis the brilliant "Web designer" has never rang true.

But Ashley has always seemed intellectual and classy.

So glad she's back. I hope Ashley detroys Gloria and sends Gloria outta town on a rail!

Oh- Sharon Case was wonderful today as were those scenes between Sharon and Jack.

I think Melody looks excellent. Do her jowels look better? For real?

Speaking up jowels- Daytimefan- Don't you think John McCook could use Jowel/Neck surgery?

His face and skin are looking excellent for a man his age, and I think getting his jowels and neck done would be a HUGE success. Especially considering that the trashy show he is on has his paired with someone 1/2 his age.

Judith Chapman is gunning for her Emmy and frankly she deserves to win, I [!@#$%^&*] HATE Gloria so Judith is playing her to perfection. I don't want to see Gloria redeemed. I want that bitch to fry!

I really want to see Jill confront Gloria in prison, everyone else has! My dream scene is for Jill to bitch slap her across her wide eyed face and then slap the other side right after and just scream at her in Jill Abbott style.

Eileen Davidson never should have been ousted by LML. She is elegant and intelligent and perfect. She is one of Y&R's great stars, she IS the Abbott family. Ironic that the best representation of John Abbott is the one child who isn't his...

I still do not buy Jack and Sharon and frankly I never will. I did enjoy Sharon sicking the dog on Jeff. Jeff also needs to die, that is one despicable character who is totally unsympathetic and has been written into a corner.

Really looking forward to

.

Just generally, I love Y&R.

Melody has definitely lost some weight, it really shows in her face.

John McCook would likely receive an optimal result from any sort of surgery. He has really good skin for his age. Whether he should do it is up to him of course, the roundness of his face definitely makes him look younger. Obliterating the jowls might actually end up aging him!

Sorry. Don't think that is going to happen. You may not like them but many find them entertaining. And the emmys love them. I find Lauren and Michael the most realistic couple on Y & R. I would like Gloria as more support and toned down though. Michael should be the center of this family. I always felt that from top to bottom they had the best actors in this family. Not one weak link. The other families have terrific actors but they also have average actors. Not those entertaining Fisher Baldwins. Now I am not counting Eden in this category. So far she is a weak link, but I'll give her time since the actress just started and also just turned 16. Even the two year old who plays Fen acts circles around Summer. He actually acts like a toddler. :P

Have to say though with the addition of Billy, the Abbotts are fast on their heals but they also have Colleen in that family which is a major drag.

OH can I chime in on the Y&R love! Gloria's downfall is so fun to watch. My best friend called me up after just to say "Sit, your ass down now!" The EP of ATWT Goutman, infamously said that he doesn't think people have the time or the energy to invest in a soap 5 hours a week. Well, I've never been so happy that Y&R is on every day!

MarkH - I did catch that look on Adam's face when Heather left, but I was still shocked. He's redeemable but i haven't the slightest clue as to how he'll ever fit in GC again. Glad you like my Kay theory! Oh and I like your new blog - very cool.

Loved River freaking out when he realized the money was gone from the teddy bear. He really was full of s*** this whole time! Does anyone know his last airdate?

Sigh - I want John back too. Did Kay and John ever date? Why didn't those two ever hook-up? i know John was with Jill and all but it seems odd in retrospect that they are equals of around the same age (I'm sure JC is older but you know) and there would have been lots of drama if they were together.

I'm going to really feel sorry for poor Murphy when he learns that Marge is dead. They've developed the Murphy and Katherine (even though he thinks she's Marge) relationship so well. This Kay/Marge storyline has been the best work Jeanne Cooper has done in years. She must be so happy.

What happens to Murphy when Katherine remembers who she is? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I wouldn't mind Katherine finding love at her age.

I'm really enjoying the show at this point.

Even with spoilers,there are still surprises that aren't detailed.

It does make me wonder how Gloria and Jack and Adam are going to get out of their troubles.It would be disappointing to have their crimes swept under the rug,but what's the alternative?

The Abbott house a new sofa!!!In the midst of her marriage woes ,Sharon took the time to go shopping for a house she most probably move out of soon-what's up with that?

The house definitely needs a makeover,but that green sofa wouldn't have been my choice.

Ashley is indeed a dynamite character-except when she gets lovey dovey with Victor.All her intelligence goes out the window.I would have preferred Ashley keep Victor at arms length at this point, and have him earn her trust and respect.

Like the Jack/Billy dynamic.Billy is like Jack was 20 or so years ago.Is Jack going to face the fact that he is no longer the young stud/business dynamo he once was?

The show needs to step up the B stories.I like the idea of Tyra becoming a little more manipulative to spice up Neil/Karen.

Overall,though the show is cookin'

I think Maria Arena has the skills to redeem Adam. I think, though, it is best done the way they fixed Michael. Keep Engen on contract, but send the character offscreen to jail for a little while. Maybe bring him out to give an organ to Nick or Victoria or something.

I totally agree with you. Y&R proves five days a week can be compelling.

River...now he's totally on my hate list at this point.

Well, they came up with that retconned skinny dipping story, but other than that, for whatever reason, there was never a hint of romance.

I checked Michael Fairman's (the Murphy actor) resume at IMDB. What a long and distinguished soap and non-soap pedigree! AW! Ryan's Hope! I hope he stays around too. Once Kay becomes "The Duchess" again, it would be terrific to have salt of the earth Murph in the mansion, in the mix!

I just love Murphy. He'll be sad i think when he learns Marge is dead. i think though that he and Kay got a long much better though cause Marge was drunk most of the time.

I love that the show now knows when a bit of make-believe is OK. Like no one recognizes that her country twang is gone! But it doesn't really matter though does it? But other things like Sabrina being pregnant magically by a suppodedly "fixed" Victor doesn't make sense.

Maria Arena Bell is simply amazing. I'd love to be her assistant! :)

      RIP Chris Robinson- his Jason Frame was one of AW’s better villains.  Jason’s murder mystery was one of AW’s best- practically the entire cast was a suspect!

    • She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

    • I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.
    • I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.
    • Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not. 
    • @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.
    • Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.   
    • I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
    • That was such a mess in general but barely felt like it was about Monica. Hopefully her funeral will be.
