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.

    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
