It's hard though, when the actress/pairing/actor what ever is featured in a story, because it's that line between not liking her and a critque of the scenes and what they do with them.

Ohhh, Haiduk I LOVE IT! SOO excited for this storyline and what she's going to do with it. I'm loving Victor being all up in this business too, it's classic!

And Billy and Chloe are just love.

So the Kevin/Gloria scenes I find interesting--I've always wanted Kevin to say all of that, and I'm liking it coming after helping Katherine.

I would love that. If she just restored the Chancellors/Jill there would be no point of the entire Jabot storyline. I'm sure the writers will come up with something. I, along with many fans and a few residents of GC, want Abbotts to be there.

God, today's episode gave me squeals of delight. First seeing Victor with Jill, then seeing Jill reluctantly appoint Billy, to Cane's reaction to the news (HAHA! Take that!), to Chloe's fantasy, to the Abbotts finding out, to the mystery chair-woman, to the Cane/Chloe scene, to Jack needling Jill to try to get info. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

By the way, I normally find Cane stiff as a board, but I did find his scene with Chloe at the end rather cute. I think I'm warming to them (and what a time for that right?). What an incredible episode; I'm still tingling.

Very few stories aren't spoiled before hitting the screen, and I'm happy not to know who this woman is.

HOw great were the Billy/Jill scenes, as was the silliness that was Chloe's conscience with Billy and Cane.

I enjoyed today, but I'm sooo over Gloria and her manipulation of Kevin. I'm not even sure why he bothers anymore.

It is hard not to comment on the actors when they are a part of the scenes for the day/week of discussions. That said, I still think that these scenes within the last week would have been much better with a different actress in the role of Colleen, preferably AL for this Y&R fan. While Tammin did do somewhat better, I still was not impressed and did not feel sorry for her or NuAbby (Haley Erin smiled too much). Colleen going up against Victor: Tammin looked like a kid having a temper tantrum instead of it being her inner bitchy side. We all have different opinions which is what makes a discussion thread all the more interesting; I just still do not feel the love for Tammin's Colleen even with the better writing. It is sad though that the writers couldn't come up with anything for the character so instead they had to kill off someone to do it.

I love Traci being back, I just wish it'd be more.

I'm dying to know who the mysterious woman is that Victor has been talking to.

I can't wait for Sharon's breakdown and seeing her mother there was a nice surprise.

It is rather nice that not as much as been leaking out from this regime; it's great to be surprised every now and then!

It's weird how little leaks out from Y&R these days and the weekly spoilers we get are so vague that it hardly gives anything away. I guess it's a good thing, since it builds some type of suspense for the audience. Someone who knows what they're doing much be on top of everything behind the scenes.

This is the total opposite of the Latham administration when everything leaked and she didn't give two f-ucks about it.

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were ever sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).
    •   Footballers Wives! That takes me back

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
