Everyone is so quick to give Maria Arena Bell all the praise. She is doing a very good job but she has a good team behind her. I remember when it was Bell/Griffith the show was boring, disjointed, dull and went down the ratings decline. As soon as Hogan came in things improved but things really really improved when Paul Rauch took over. During the Latham days the show's glitz and glamour were all gone and none of the women could wear anything with diamonds. As soon as Paul Rauch took over the execution of the show is fabulous. It looks so expensive and so lush and so fantastic. Rauch is executing this show fantastically. The show has never looked more expensive and Rauch is old school soap. He is executing the Bell vision extremely well. As soon as Sheffer and Rauch joined Bell it seems like that is when the show started firing on all cylinders. IMO this is a match made in Genoa City heaven. My only suggestion is to bring Ed Scott back to the show in any form and we got Y&R old school for years.

It's amazing what a good crier Sharon Case has morphed into, it comes so naturally to her these days. I remember when she first started on the show, she was one of the worst criers I'd ever seen. She used to make these weird hand movements and hit her hand on her head and stuff, just to cry. She's really matured in her acting over the years, the same can't be said for Joshua Morrow though.

AMEN.

He has not gotten much credit, and deserves it.

I don't think it was a coincidence that old Y&R musical scores (really old, classics from the early eighties) started reappearing soon after Rauch joined..

That Nelson Branco interview said it all- Paul said it is his job to translate Maria's (and HOGAN'S- even though the vision "IS ALL HERS!!!" lollllll) writing to the screen.

They got an old school producer- match made in heaven for Y&R's style.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL NOT TRUE-

God I love that house though!!!! For some odd reason they don't highlight that awesome staircase in it- It used to go through the livingroom or something- I cannot explain it. It had a very cool angle and it was very majestic.

If I could take Viki's kitchen from OLTL and attach it to Brad's house on Y&R- that is soap opera set heaven.

No, today was really good. But I am a sucker for Tracey, Ashley, clips from old Y&R, and a damn good cliffhanger-

And the previews sound really good.

Very much enjoyed today's episode, although why is Jill not at Brad's? She's the one who hired him to begin with. It would have been great if she came, since they remembered that Lauren and Brad go back. There is another fantastic Lauren and Traci scene. I agree with those who think Traci should return as the Abbott matriarch. I haven't felt that she is needed until these seamless, history mining scenes of late. Kudos to MAB for making this week a knock out!!

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
