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! :)

    • The show did a good job of having today feel like a funeral atmospherically. I'm happy they're making sure to state that Tate and Arianna consider each other family as the last thing we need is another Alex situation. However, it's very strange she has yet to have a scene with Will. Today is just part one, of course, so hopefully that on-screen reunion is yet to come. I also really want to see Carrie/Will/Arianna with Kate as well and hope Kate gets a little moment of her own regarding John. I forget if I mentioned this before, but real life affecting reel life when it comes to Maggie not being involved is just a crying shame. I'll never get over it. I wasn't bothered by the little hint of intrigue with Cat and Shane. Being spoiler free, I had no idea that little moment was going to happen or what that could be about. Was Shane the one calling her before? (Hypothetically asking, don't spoil me). I hope Steve shutting down BlackPatch sticks. I can't imagine what they will do with him though. Alice Halsey again proving why Rachel was recast. She's just effortless. Bring on seeing Tony again! He had the cut last week, too. Did he hit his head in the scene where he first got sick with the flu or was it a real life instance that they haven't talked about. Glad I'm not crazy thinking I missed something.

      The 50s and 60s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type. The 80s and 90s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type.   I understand the nostalgia and enjoying a certain type of storytelling that was popular when growing up/being 20, 30 yrs old. That's why I watch TV series from the 70s and 80s and not as much current television. But I understand that people's attention spans have changed and therefore storytelling has changed and everything has gotten more expensive and there are more and more projects competing for eyeballs and the big flashy stuff is what makes people look up from their phones 5 seconds before going back to them.  We can never go back to before.

      date: Monday, June 9 | Teresa Zimmerman, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford YAY! Caroline is back in action at the law offices. I adore Caroline! She is a woman of business, and she handles her business quite well. Could this be the chance for Tomas to move ahead at Bill Hamilton Esq.? Madison is doing the usual tests for strokes: smiling, holding out the hands, etc., but I do wonder if she'll have him touch the tip of her finger and then the tip of his nose. That one is not easy at all. Trust me, I know! It's about time Derek becomes useful: helping to take down Dana by witnessing her interrogation of Ashley at Orphey Gene's. Oh, Nicole is showing up to question Eva, re: her interactions with Laura. This will either be a bitchfest or it'll be a heartfelt one. Cantankerous? Yes, Ashley! Call it like you see it! Is Tomas working with Katherine to set up Dana? I pray he is!! Child bride needs to calm her ass down; now she's hugging Naomi as if they're besties again? This isn't your "get out of jail" card, sweetheart. The weight that I am sure is now lifted from Eva's shoulders with Nicole accepting her apology? I love that for her. And I am sure, deep down, it helps Nicole to accept and hear it, as well. Dani showing up for Bill and their children? That's love right there, and you can tell how much it not only means for Bill but might also be reminding him of why he fell in love with her. Watch out, child bride; your time might be up by mid-summer! Katherine, you are sneaky... but I do have this sneaking suspicion this is going to blow up right back into your face before you know it. The awkward face-to-face with Chelsea and Madison. Dani introducing herself as "the first wife" is hilarious. I love it. Chelsea and Madison openly flirting in the hospital by the elevator is super cute!! Notes: Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) continues to serve up the right amount of camp for American daytime. She's almost too good for daytime. I appreciate the new viewpoint of the outside of Dana's apartment. Nice that we can get these viewpoints that other soaps wouldn't dare to explore. Tide is seen in the scene; Tide commercials air right after. Today's jacket on Alex Alegria (Tomas) fits better than the past few he's worn. Hoping this trend continues.
