I'm trying to stay away from Lily posts. But the middle ground she needs to do something outside of Billy or bumping into Cane. Like working for Niel, being around friends, I'm sure their others things she could do. After everything is said & done she still don't have any goals in life but to be with whoever is left after the truth comes out about Chloe baby.

Whatever guys.

This crap was just plain boring and totally uninspired.

I don't need nonstop action.

But this is just underproduced blahness.

And yes, classic Y&R was always days and days of waiting and buildup. Bill Bell was the master. It was awesome.

And Y&R's stellar production values made up for it. (The waiting)

The production is reminding me of Lynn Marie. It seems quite sparse and the show is way too quiet or something.

Where the hell are my Katherine and Murphy?

For the last few episodes it's been night time and there's been a slow build up to the inclement weather that's now affecting GC and wherever the cabin is. So it's understandable that there wouldn't be many people out and that would account for the sparse feeling. It hasn't bothered me, actually it's made things seem a bit more realistic, I mean if there were a lot of people doing things in this type of weather we'd be complaining about how stupid the characters were being written.

It seems like we're now looking in on different characters and getting to see what they are doing while Mother Nature is wreaking havoc outside.

PB? Are you kidding?

I'm still not impressed and the accent was awful. If we are stuck with her then I will most definitely be FF through her scenes especially since Colleen is not an Australian. If they decide to pair her with boring Thad then I definitely won't be watching those scenes!! Why didn't TIIC just bring her on as another Australian since she has such a hard time focusing on her accent and acting at the same time?

Nick is such a dumb ass although I love Phyllis teetering on the edge. Who wants to bet that Sharon gets pregnant after their romp?

Good lord has Sharon been in that cabin all year? Sure feels like it and now she's stuck even longer.

Haha to Phyllis being shut down by the cops. If only she would die in this storm

The last scene with Eden crying in Michael's arms was about the worst acting Ive seen on this show in a long time. Girl was absolutely dreadful.

I don't have to like PB, just as you don't have to like TS. I happen to think PB's performances are cheesy and melodramatic - especially in the last few years. (Not that I would ever want him to leave the show - he is part of the fabric of Y&R. He should just stick to business storylines.)

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
