Apparently on December 26, Y&R will rip off "It's a wonderful life" with Christian LeBlanc when Michael commisorates how the lifes of firends and family would be without him...

I'm looking forward to this a lot, although it has been before. I can only think of GH's Luke but there were sure others!?

Michael's a good fit for this because he does tend to get down on himself when things go wrong and with his family many things often go wrong. The writers also haven't given Christian Le Blanc much to work with this year so I am looking forward to this.

The Victor and Nikki scenes are good in Monday's episode. Especially when they, like usual, start arguing. LOL!

Vail Bloom impresses me a little more and more with each passing episode. She's really grown a lot as an actress from a year ago. I do feel for her, especially when she broke down in her bed.

And dare I say, Billy Miller actually makes Lilly somewhat interesting? I still think he's going to be using her ass. I don't want them to waste him on her of all people. I can't wait for Chole to spill that Billy is the father of her baby, just to make Lily feel like crap.

There's also some touching moments between Katherine and Murphy. I really like those two together.

Paul and Nikki also have some nice scenes.

I am so sick of her always having to be propped up by someone else. Give her back Lame already and back burner them. Billy Miller is too good to be wasted on lesser caliber actors.

Ha ha, had to edit to add that Billy calls Lily lame.

I'm watching Monday's right now on global and Melody is looking fantastic.

Why would we want to skip the special Michael episode? This episode is an homage to It's a Wonderful Life and I can't imagine anyone who fits the George Bailey role better than Michael. You need a man who is loved by his family and friends but feels like his has failed them all. Michael is currently the only man who actually is committed and in love with his wife and adores his child. He also is stressed to the max and wears guilt like a second coat. I can't wait for Michael to realize how much he means to his family and returns home to Lauren and Fen. A nice Christmas treat.

It can't be Jack since Sharon wants to divorce him and his son is in Europe.

It can't be Nick because he is in love with two women.

It can't be Neil because although he claims to love only Karen, he gets jealous about Tyra dating other men.

It can't be Jeff because he just sent his wife to jail.

It can't be Victor because he hates, then loves, then hates his family.

It can't be JT because he is JT.

Because stand-alone episodes serve no plot purposes, if people have better things to do with their time for the holiday season, they can easily skip a stand-alone episode and not miss anything. I'll watch, but this is in no way an essential episode, in fact, it's filler since it serves no real plot/story purpose.

    • Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.  
    • Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.
    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE.
