Word! Victoria figuring out that the glove resembles Brad's thereby triggering Noah's memory was well done. It made sense that Victoria would stay with Noah with his parents at the cabin. I loved her droning on about Reese while Noah played that computer game. It is such a real family moment. Noah being cold and asking about his phone was also realistic. Kudos to the script writer! Someone put a lot of thought into that scene and I appreciated it the effort because it showed a respect for soap fans that is missing from the soaps in general today. I'm looking at you GH with your nonsensical toxic ball crisis.

I don't usually. watch Y&R, but did the last two days for Sharon/Nick and Brad. I noticed in today's show is that Abby calls Billy, "Uncle Billy" and Noah calls Victoria, "Aunt Victoria." I really like this. Too many soaps don't let young characters use these kinship designations to refer to their relatives and they are important because they help establish bonds between characters to which the audience can relate.

Anxiousness about Brad being missing was also well done, especially when compared to the lack of urgency on GH re: the poison. The actress who plays Colleen remains the weak link. The confrontation with Victor and scenes at Brad's car were pathetic. It is really to bad that the two previous actresses who played the role aren't the ones doing these critical scenes.

I re-watched Josh Morrow coming out of that coat and yep, I almost fainted again. He is a sculpted walking perfect man.

Katherine and Murphy are poignant. Poor Katherine. She is in a horrible situation.

It was an amazing well written episode overall.

I loved the "Aunts" and "Uncles" too. I did think how weird it was that Colleen and Abby share aunts and a father (although not literally for Abby, of course). I wish someone would mention that someday. Isn't it awkward at all?

Just finally got caught up on the week, and it's been really good. I've not wanted to gouge my eyes out with TS--and really, once they all stopped pretending she could act AND do an american accent at the same time it's been easier to watch her, though it also makes the character just out of place even more.

Katherine and Murphy more and more are some of the best moments on Y&R there is a goldmine there! They just make me smile.

Since Sharon Case can't bring herself to say it, I'll say it for her...

Sharon: Well, Maria Arena Bell is amazing! Hopefully, that won't change! We've been through so much change! I loved having Jack Smith write the show, it was a crying shame that they let him go, then we went through a bunch of 'crazy' from that hack bitch from the depths of hell LML for a few years, ever since Jack Smith left, now we've finally stabilized - we have a fabulous writer in Maria. Let's not rock the boat again!

And yes Sharon, let's NEVER rock the [!@#$%^&*] boat again!

Phyllis indirectly causes another death. She's so destructive.

I thought it was Traci who convinced Brad to give it one more shot with Sharon. Also if he hadn't been there, Noah would be dead. although if Sharon wasn't up hiding from the world, no one would be dead.

And wasn't Nikki the one who gave Brad that whole speech about not giving up on the one you love (it was right after she got the call about Casey)?

There certainly were a lot of factors that fell into place to get Brad by that lake. Very cool.

Ashley & Victoria = Win.

I agree, that was a very nice scene.

I agree, that was a very nice scene.

I agree, and Ashley and Victoria have such a long history in relation to one another too, even though Amelia was adequate, I can't help but feel how much better that scene would've been with Heather Tom and her longterm history with the show...

Wow - just wow. This show is hypnotic.

I agree, that was a very nice scene.

Eileen was awesome.

It's so good to have her back where she belongs.

I've never ever laughed this hard at a soap funeral. Guess it's just hard for me to cry for the popsicle. Too bad they didn't find Dru lying under him, they could have had a double service.

Brad was never my favourite character either, but tomorrow's episode is very well done.

From Traci's flashback in the beginning, to the final scene with Phyllis eyeing Sharon at Brad's grave. Lots of tension and emotion in tomorrow's episode. I LOVED it.

Phyllis is so damn pathetic putting on the nice act, just to keep Nick. Eventually she's gonna blow and her world will come crashing down anyway.

I was able to watch for the first time in weeks today, and it's so good to see that everything's still on track, ftmp.

Shoot me, but I get a kick out of the foursome that is Daniel/Amber/Jana/Kevin. Kevin is too ghetto, and Amber isn't that far behind him.

Kay going off on the pawn shop owner was awesome.

Phyllis is going to [!@#$%^&*] an entire brick house when she finds out about Nick and Sharon.

There's a scene in tomorrow's episiode between Jack and Traci where Jack calls Brad, "Bradsicle." LOL!

Hell, she even made TGEB look like an amateur! A few weeks ago I was starting to wonder if maybe she would be better off on another show, but not after today. She OWNS this role! She was the highlight of the episode. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Today's episode left tears in my eyes but it wasn't because of Colleen at all, and it should've been. Tammin has done better in the past few scenes although I still can't say that I feel her sorrow and her little temper tantrum with Victor, did not impress me at all. In fact, I commended EB's Victor for keeping his composure through it. I'm still hoping that this is her big storyline before she was shown the door and I'm not apologizing for my opinion. That said, today's episode was great with the Victoria and Ashley scenes while they talked about Brad made me tear up. Then the ending scene with Nick/Sharon/Noah brought tears again; it's been a long while since I've felt there was anything of this substance.

Another great cliff hanger ending. Hope someone is wearing their depends.
