Jill was very loyal to Victor when Jack and Bradley schemed their way to take over Newman Enterprises with the help of Michael and Diane'e divorce settlement coupled with Victor's disappeanace in the desert with Romano and Chet.

She tried to stop the takeover with Neil and Nick. This was a great story in 98 and allowed the Abbotts to gain control of Jabot again after Jack lost control of it to Victor in the early 90's.

Yeah, as I mentioned before, I LOVED today's US epispde. I totally didn't see the Jill and Victor ending coming, and I don't think it was given away bluntly in spoilers. There was a lot of character interactions too. Also, how nice was it to see Jack back at Jabot? So many possible storylines were set up in this one episode.

I say this:

Step 1 Ship off Devon and the little girl (off on tour, of course, to torture, um, I mean entertain the world with their "music".

Step 2- Give Tyra Banks Winters some backstory, THEN, turn her STONE COLD PSYCHO CRAZY!! She will never be likeable. She is very tall and beautiful and could be a FRIGHTENING psycho villian.

Step 3- Somehow bring back Drucilla into this ruckus- Can you imagine Drucilla and Tyra Banks becoming the new Sheila and Lauren. ME LIKEY ALOT!

I think there could be some amazing drama here. This crap now is snoozefest. Despite her boirng character, I REALLY like Nia Peeples and I hope she stays on Y&R.

Victor and Jill- BRILLIANT.

I didn't see Jill/Victor coming. I thought he was calling Baldwin or someone from the press to announce Jack back at Jabot...Never saw it coming. I'm looking forward to their scenes.

They could salvage this story: sending Karen off to NY and putting Neil and Tyra in bed together. Make Lily Karen's public enemy number one since they spent so much time making sure Lily and karen became friends. Maybe they can give LIly a bitch bone. Give Tyra a hot scheming ex boyfriend in need of some cash, and the rest writes itself.

If they want Neil to stay sympathetic pin him as still in love with Karen but tricked into bed. It's a classic cheating tale. "She felt like you."LMAO!

I just don't think Y&R wants VR's Dru back!!! She's much needed and yet that haven't picked up the phone. Having Tyra crying in the hallway over a child that was never hers is not working- I think the actress has a "dark" look to her- coniving, manipulative. She just doesn't strike me as some "angel".

I knew it....I always wrote the pairing off because I suspected bad blood. Diane was the killer, and she was married to Jack at the time. It was a good story and made it to primetime. That was when they were showing Y&R at night once a year for ratings.

I wonder if CBS has considered doing something like that again. I think it was on a Friday.

I never liked Mary Jo Mason- even the name. eck!

I'm liking the Victoria/Victor interaction. There's not enough water under the bridge for me, and I was happy the writers addressed that. Personally, I don't think Nick should ever return the NE.

    • 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.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
