I don't think we are going to get the explosion everyone is looking for or used to seeing from Phyllis. I like to call it "controlled anger" because there is no way she can hold this in. All I ask is that Nick be right in front of her when it does. :lol: And NO, it won't blow up in her face because she did not start this mess to begin with. This is ALL NICK!!! <_<

I know people have been complaining about Tyra and Karen, but has anyone ever asked, what's Neil's appeal?

I know he's a Y&R staple, but he has absolutely no appeal beyond Dru. Where's his passion, his charm...I really have yet to see it, unless he's with Dru.

It's quite possible we've been looking to KSJ to be the matriarch of a family he brings no interest to. He's corporate Neil, everyone's best friend, everyone's favorite guy at the bar, but I really think the Winter's s/l is a flop because Neil/KSJ is just not bringing the fire. He's playing too much to the conservatism that is Y&R.

It's quite possible that after all those corporate passovers he's going through the motions and playing supporting to the women who are working hard to make things interesting, and have so little to draw from because their direction changes every so often.

I could not agree more. Neil has never done it for me as a leading man. I think the big insult for me was when he was telling Dru that her career as a model was an illegitimate choice, unlike her sister Saint Olivia the DOCTOR. I think a husband should support their wife and not judge her against someone he feels is more worthy. I think Karen could be hot with another actor, but he just holds her back. Maybe it is time for this show to ditch the Winters and bring on a new family with some lead potential.

As for the previews, the Cabin showdown is previewed at the end of today's Canadian. I wonder if we'll get the results of the dna test before next week.

So Colleen is off to Italy...for who knows how long? I think Tammin has ben just fine the past week.Colleen could and should be a main character.

Waiting for more Doris

Traci needs to hang around and be used when necesary.However,the Steve situation woud have to be dealt with,Maybe a friendly divorce.Had the writers had more foresight Traci should have had a son by Steve to continue the Abbott dynasty.

Another day without the Winters story.Maybe they are taking stock and retooling.I still think a Malcolm recast could work...Terell Tilford?He's Lily'd dad,Olivia's ex,could be involved with Tyra etc.

MAB seems to have a long term plan...I really hope Keemo returns this year

Considering Keemo hasn't been mentioned in like 10 years, and we're lucky if Jack even throws a mention about Kyle in once a year, I doubt they have any plans for brining on his children.

Do they want us to forget Keemo exists? It seems like all of the regimes since Bill left have refused to address that character and pretend as if he never existed.

    • 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 even 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.
