Hmmm, I though that Brad's

death would happen while rescuing Noah. They said before that he will have a "heroic" death, and J.T. and Colleen will go searching for him, but it wasn't implied if they will find him.

Not another one, I want a body. Next we'll find out that no one on Y&R is really dead, they're all off on the Genoa City like island.

Does Phyllis know that Brad is nothing more than an identity thieving fraud? I would love it if she turned him into the feds.

They DO find Brad's body.

I enjoyed Friday's US show. Kevin, Jana, Daniel, and Amber are hilarious together and provide that friendship aspect that's missing from soaps these days.

Melody was great in those scenes with Katherine. She really knows how to turn on those tears.

Is that cabin set a new set? I doubt it's the one Jill and Jack had sex in all those years ago. It's a really beautiful set though. I liked the flashbacks Sharon had.

LOL at all those people making Gloria offers. So nice to see her suffering, but I don't put it past Victor to get her off the hook so he can stick it to Jack. If that does happen though, it looks like Victor will own that 5% Jabot stock, which isn't going to make Ashley happy at all. I wonder how she'll feel when she realizes that he's not only screwing over Jack, but her too.

LOVED Phyllis getting caught. I'm glad Brad set her up.

Mike Denney's direction is, as always, a great thing too. Good episode overall.

Eileen Davidson is looking fantastic, Botox is magic in the right hands.

i thought that she used filler...

Sorry Y&R_FAN, but Sursok's accent was JUST as bad as ever and no, she hasn't improved one bit.

You have your opinion, I have mine.

And doesn't Tammin feel bad about not being used

I think she does. She said in an interview last April that she keeps asking the writers to give her something to do.

(and I don't know what she's thinking if she ever read one of these boards).

She used to look at the boards, but stopped after a while. Her exact words were "some of the things people say are so mean it takes me a week to get over them".

Maybe she's rethinking her career in acting. I think I read somewhere recently that she's been offered another shot at a singing career; she is a pretty good singer.

She's not rethinking her acting career. She knows she can act and has awards to show for it. She also doesn't plan on leaving Y&R any time soon. In fact in her most recent interview she says viewers are finally accepting her as Colleen (which goes to show that message board posts aren't indicative of how the overall audience feels).

I don't see how viewers can finally accept someone that's almost never on. But to each, their own.

If I were her, I'd be very worried for my job right now when my on-screen father is about to be killed off, the closest relative Colleen has on the show.

Wake me up when things pass.....

Wake me up when things pass.....

Yeah, some things are better off ignored...

Oh she does, but it's the Botox that has given her the noticeable result in the smoothness of her skin and the serene nature of her face. The filler, which I think she uses sparingly around her nose to mouth lines, keeps things symmetrical. Symmetry is beauty and whoever is working on Eileen is doing it right.

Whatever it is, bitch is looking FIERCE lately!

If she doesn't want to be critiqued, she shouldn't be in the business! Fans are usually the toughest ones on the actors.

Eileen is beautiful, and I'm glad she's back.

BUT, I am hating Ashley with the full passion of my being. What a selfish user. Years ago, she let Brad be Abby's father. NOT Victor.

Now, Victor is horning in, and Ashley encourages it. Brad is ABSOLUTELY being pushed to the side, and Ashley is unapologetic. That is simply wrong. I realize this board is filled with Brad haters, but the basic meanness of how Brad is being handled is really quite upsetting to me. Why would such a good father (and he HAS been?) be so rudely cast aside? Just because Ashley is finally with her "true love".

This makes Ashley seem so much like Brooke Logan I want to spit. This is NOT a good development, IMO, for the long-term health of the Ashley character.

Given that Brad won't be around long

, they should write Ashley as very supportive of him. That way,

when he dies,

she will come off as sympathetic and having done the right thing. THEN it makes sense that Victor gently moves into the father role...and everyone would accept it.

Does Phyllis know that Brad is nothing more than an identity thieving fraud? I would love it if she turned him into the feds.

She only knows bits and pieces of it that she found out about from Nick. But I think she'd be hesitant to use any of that since Nick and Sharon were caught in the thick of that whole reliquary mess. Turning Brad in might bring out the parts the others Newmans and Sharon had, which could add an additional bond between Nick and Sharon. That's assuming Phyllis is thinking, of course.

What they could be heading for is

pangs of guilt for Ashley once Brad's gone, where she realizes that she treated him like crap just for her precious little pipe dream of a family life for her, Victor and Abby on the ranch.

Victor and Ashley can't be deliriously happy forever, since that's not good soap, so

something like guilt about Brad

, along with the potential fallout of Victor's plan to screw Jack screwing her as well, could bring the tension on between Vic and Ash en masse.

Oh Victor is screwing over Ashley soon.

In his quest to one-up Jack, he buys Gloria's 5% stock of Jabot and gives it to Jill, which means Ashely can't run the company anymore.

Thank you Brad! LMAO at Phylis getting caught red handed. I love how he set her up and Im glad Nick heard everything.

Loved the Sharon flashbacks if only to remind me how great her hair can look with a little bit of effort. Its a shame for someone so beautiful and with such lovely hair to walk around with it looking so stiff, lifeless and unappealing. That tacky hat did her no favors and only made her head look like even more of a mess.
