That's not a surprise, they're always good with removing people, but horrible with adding people.

But usually they just drop the whole reel, so this is an improvement.

I seem to recall both Eileen Davidson and Victoria Rowell being removed fast too, yet even since Eileen's been back, they've had no intention of adding her back.

That's because most of the newer cast members who haven't been added (O'Brien, Khalil, Frantz, Goddard, Peeples, Bloom, Sursok, Engen, Marcille, Miller) have been on the show longer than Davidson has been back.

I just watched Monday's US show and the acting is top notch. From the looks on everyone's faces to the inspired dialogue, it was almost perfect. Even CK impressed me in the last 5 minutes.

Once again I'm firm in my belief that we have barely seen EH during Chloe's pregnancy because they are scared that her chemistry with DG might over shine the stupercouple.

Sharon is stealing again, not sure if it's a paper weight or some gaudy piece of art. She'd have a good case for a sexual harassment lawsuit against Nick; he gets his rocks off and then basically tells her to resign.

Well spoilers make it sound like Sharon might be going a little nuts soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if she did just that re: sexual harassment, a la Ali McIntyre/Mike Horton (Days).

LoL @ her stealing. This is so random!

Put money on this: Gloria is Kay's daughter. You read it here.

I would prefer that either

Nikki is Kay's daughter or Kay's daughter died years ago, the same with Jill's biological mother...the storyline needs to be about Kay and Jill, not anyone else. Gloria as Kay's daughter would SUCK SO HARD...also, this had better not be a [!@#$%^&*] 'gotcha' storyline where it'll turn out Kay and Jill really ARE mother and daughter. MAB, dear sweet MAB, PLEASE keep this undo permanent!

What day was it that Sharon stole the figurine?

I think I missed seeing that scene.

^^^I think it was Monday.

Why did Sharon steal that figurine?

I thought it was cruel of Noah to just bring up Cassie like that especially in front of Sharon, but I love that her death has not been forgotten and is always worked into dialogue and story. They use it to propel plots and use it in situations that make sense

Mhmm, and it made sense for him to say it.

I could see any teen saying the same thing if they felt as though they were being smothered for similar reasons.

I agree Kennylicious!

Basically, I thought everyone was wrong in that scene (except, shockingly, Phyllis...and Sharon was SO RUDE to her I wanted to ... well....)

Nick was all Neaderthal (shades of controlling Daddy Newman peeking through?). Sharon was ... ineffective. And Noah was a combination of inappropriate teenage rebellion COUPLED WITH a bona fide TRUTH TELLER! Nick cheating and deceiving! ROASTED! Cassie being STUPID to get behind the wheel of a car. ROASTED! Nobody has EVER BEFORE called Cassie on her stupidity.

So, even though it was a lot of bad behavior it seemed (a) 100% realistic [adolescent conflicts], ( said things that NEEDED to be said (Noah DOES have no business sneaking and lying), © and simply set up a terrific conflict that I hope gets worse and worse.

Let's face it, if Eden and Noah get pushed to do some desperate things to be together...well, Shakespeare had a fair bit of success with a similar story .

IF ONLY Eden were matched to Noah as a performer. But she is not.

It was really creepy hearing Noah say "I could be in my house and a plane could kill me" and then hearing about the plane crash in Buffalo a few minutes later .

I agree Kennylicious!

I so agree MarkH,

I'm really glad someone finally called Cassie on her STUPIDITY. It's been St Cassie since she died when the fact is, she did it to herself. And calling Nick on all his d*cking around. Perfect. Well played Noah.

I love watching Sharon crumble...Sharon Case is doing wonderfully. I hope she steals more!

Phyllis is desperate/planned/hilarious/sad in all of her interactions with Sharon. I know how she feels. Like, she'd just like to KILL Sharon, but she can't do it, she needs to hold it together and she'll be damned if she'll be the first to crack.

Jill and Esther are hilarious. Jill getting back to being a royal BITCH in the last year is a most welcome change, welcome back Jill Abbott, I know Jess is thrilled. I'm really liking the Jill/Victor interaction, in the 90s they used to be together all the time when Jill worked for Victor and was framed for his shooting and then voted against Jack and Brad to oust him from Newman Enterprises and of course, the hottest 'blink and you miss it' affair of the early 90s...Jill needs to get some action, once things hit the fan with Victor and Ashley, which they MUST...I hope the Mustache can give Jill come lovin'...

It was really creepy hearing Noah say "I could be in my house and a plane could kill me" and then hearing about the plane crash in Buffalo a few minutes later .

It was very strange for me too...I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Just weird.

Hi everyone! New member here! Must say I've been following the Y&R discussion board for a while now and I'm absolutely as thrilled and for once excited about the show again. While I didn't think LML reign as headwriter was a complete disaster I'm willing to admit that this new writer is an absolute genius. I'm just loving the drama, the intrigue, and the great dialogue that seems to be occuring DAILY as opposed to randomly on the show.

As for the younger set I really think that the guy playing Noah outshines the rest. He just seems so natural in his scenes with everybody. Noah's retort to Nick yesterday was dead on accurate and I love the writers for having him say that. Bottom line is that he's not Cassie. He shouldn't put his life on hold because of her.

As for Billy I'm hoping he ends up with Lily. I know it won't happen anytime soon but I truly think the two of them are a great couple. Forget that schemer girl. Cane is beyond annoying and absolute dreadful. I can't even stand to see him except when with Billy since he looks even more inadequate.

Phick fan here.... ! I'm a huge Phyllis fan too and I'm so glad she's not going psycho on Nick and/or Sharon. She should fight for her marriage and allow Nick to come to his senses and move past Sharon. Anyways I don't sense any "desperation" in Phyllis. Seems like the Phyllis haters are just hoping she'll go nuts and lose it on Sharon. But the truth of the matter is that Phyllis has evolved over the last few years. She's done bad things but who hasn't? The important thing is that you learn from them and I think after Nick's romp that she FINALLY learned a thing or two. Now it's up to her to apply the lesson and I think the writers are going to do that.

Sharon on the hand will most likely sleep with another guy despite the fact that she could have had Brad (one of the sexiest guys on the show). And she's clearly losing it. The look she gave Phyllis as she and Nick left Brad's house the other day? She could barely keep it together...

The one good thing about Brad's death is that it's allowed Colleen to become more prominent and I'm loving it. The girl playing her is great and I barely notice the accent to be honest with you. Plus the accent isn't even a huge deal to me.

Anyways I'm so glad to be a member of the board and I look forward to meeting everyone!

Creepier in that his father "died" two years ago in a (sabotage-related but hitherto unexplored) plane crash. I felt that hit almost too close to home, and the fact that they didn't play the history of that comment suggests to me that the writers are trying to "forget" the plane crash and subsequent amnesia.

O my god, did I really just like CK up against Billy and Liz...wow...

Khalil was actually good today. She handled her own next to Miller and Hendrickson. I was impressed.
