Monday's show is really cementing me as a Chloe and Billy Shipper. Their chemistry and the hit the nail on the head reactions to the actions around them are simply priceless. I wish they'd call the baby Cordy instead of Delia though.

The Katherine stuff was good as well.

I thought I should stop reading the spoilers, but I can't help myself. I still adore the show even though I mostly know what's going on. The show still manages to surprised me. They seem to be the only show that is trying to keep some stuff a surprise.

I agree- Y&R has offerred up lots of surprises lately that keep me on the edge of my seat. Even though there was some speculation, NO reliable source was able to confirm the results of those DNA tests. It reminds me of the days that Y&R was the only soap (and sometimes B&B) to not be mentioned in SOD's VCR Alert section.

Couldn't resist anymore and had to watch Monday...

Jeanne Cooper conitnues to be amazing. Great Kay stuff.

And Cane is done with being passive aggressive, huh? Jill's genes start to shimmer...

It's as if he and Colleen went to group therapy and decided it's time they spite the world. What's next: Lily stealing Ana from Tyra AND Karen!? LOL!

I yearn for that! No previews, no 'VCR alert', and no text in the online guides. Just go cold turkey...and let NO spoilers out. Even with the mag "Spring Previews", either shun them, or give them such vague generalities ("a couple will fall in love; someone will be in great jeopardy") that they are useless.

Then, if we could just stop Canada from going day-ahead...I'd be right as rain!

I read the spoilers too, because I have zero discipline in that regard :).

I totally agree with your statement. But imagine if we suddenly started flying in the dark...and had virtually no idea what was going to happen. How I'd love that.

:lol: Spoilers will be the Death of Soaps. Discuss.

I think Y&R goes that extra mile to give spoilers that sound very neutral-sounding on paper -- but which wallop us when they hit the screen. It's a far cry from, say, Frons and Guza who will delineate, word-for-word and scene-by-scene their entire Sweeps SL for GH. Including the ending.

I loved today's show and especially the scenes with Billy Miller and the baby, he has the most natural reactions in different situations and makes things seem so seamless and easy especially compared to Goddard. I loved it when Chloe asked Billy to bring the baby to her and he said "You want me to pick her up?!?"

I don't have anything positive to say about the Tyra/Ana/Neil/Karen storyline and what happened today soooooo.....

It was nice to see that Colleen didn't back down towards Victor, and I love that Jack is letting her know how Vic works so she's not surprised by any of his tactics.

The scenes between Kathrine and the Nurse were cute and really enjoyable compared to what's going on in Wintersville. All the talk about milkshakes made me want one.

I'm glad Paul found out the truth about Roger being a scam artist it's to bad that he found out to late to stop the wedding though.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
