Although I totally agree with you Cat, I have to stress for our less intellectual posters out there that MORALS have NOTHING to do with child custody when both biological parents are alive! NOTHING! Nada! Zip! Zilch!

Being a 'loving parent' is not the criteria for child custody. If the kid consists of your DNA and you haven't been convicted of a major crime, that kid is YOURS.

:lol: :lol: Welcome to family court! Where it doesn't matter how cute a couple Lane makes.

If Lily and Cane need a baby they can have their own. Lily has looked at that baby from the get go like something she picked up on the bottom of her shoe in a no leash dog park. Why does she even want that baby, other than to do everything Cane's way, and for some twisted sense of revenge on Chloe and Billy.

If Lame's fans want them to have a baby so bad they can give them one of their own, I'm sure CK and DG would really appreciate the effort .

I dont like Chloe she doent know how to raise a own baby.

Why cant Chloe just give her baby to Cane and Lily, she lost her baby too and Lily deserves a child IMO chloe ruined their relationship and she needs to give something back to them. Delia will be a beautiful gift to Lane.

HUH? Why doesn't Lily go have her own baby?

I don't care for Phyllis and Nick but that shower scene had to be one of the hottest love scenes I've seen in ages.

Lily and Cane have NO LEGAL CLAIM to that child. Even if Chloe and Billy were killed off, the child still has Esther, Jill, Katherine and Brock to care for it.

Any other viewpoint is absolutely ludicrous and I have to say, I find the viewpoint that Cane and Lily are 'true loving parents,' in light of the fact that neither one of them has ever been a parent is pathetic.

How hot temper Cane is. I hate to see how Cane reacts to all night crying baby. & if Lily will bail out after she can't stop the baby from crying.

How "ruined" can it possibly be, considering they're back together and happy?

And the last I checked, a living child wasn't a consolation prize...

isn't that what Cane is???

We have something we agree on!!!

If LAME want a baby so bad, they need to quit spending so much time stalking Chloe and Delia and get busy at "getting busy" .... off screen of course!!! :rolleyes:

Today's ep was great, I thought. Emily O'Brien was really good. And I also loved the Chloe/Lily scenes.

Miracles do happen.

I hope Lily is barren, I have no desire to ever see her be a mother and go through a pregnancy. She and Cane can go be barren off screen.

Mr hypocrite Cane baiting Billy to punch him so he could file a police report was ironic since last week Cane was the one who punched Billy.

I don't like Lame. I loved Chloe's comment that Cane is an Australian sleeping pill. However even as a Chloe fan I have to admit that Lily won the argument and got in the better digs.

exactly--if Lily is suppose to be this amazing loving character,why have her want to take care of a baby she pretty much hates?

And as much as I love the Y&R writing staff, given Lily's history with knowing who your daddy is, I don't see why she would take part in raising the kid. Big miss for the character in the want to pimp Lame.

I love Jana and Kevin, but the turmoil for their has been the best--they were getting boring.

If you watched it then you wouldn't be throwing around inaccurate statements. I am currently watching these scenes and Phyllis is very in to it. She isn't saying no or pushing Nick away.

I thought I made it clear in my post that I didn't watch it AT ALL, nor do I have any desire to. My comments were based on what my family and friends in both fanbases told me in talking to me. So my statement was not inaccurate since it was based on THEIR opinions.

And as for why I commented on it...that's what a message board is for, no? To state your thoughts on a show. I stated the thoughts of people that spoke to me about what they saw and perceived yesterday. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wouldn't Lame be much more interesting if she straight out told him that she doesn't want to play mother to that baby? Then they could argue and fight and he could either choose to go forward, or not, but he would know what is at stake. As it is, why do couples not address any of their problems but instead just go off and screw someone else? While I find MAB has been a big improvement to the Y&R, there still leaves a lot to be desired with all the bed hopping and the women always deferring to their man.

Too bad this board doesn't have a limit on how many topics one can start in a day!!

OK. So I just caught Monday's episode so I'm a day behind. But these are my impressions -

I'm glad the kidnapping phase of Katherine's story is apparently over. I was really enjoying the story before that (I didn't HATE the kidnapping, I just thought it took some wind out of the sails of the story) and now with Kat apparently not recognizing Murphy and the diner gang, it should be picking up more steam.

Emily O'Brien is amazing. She can do comedy very well, and today with Kevin missing gave her something else to play. And I completely enjoyed it. WOW. IMO, she's one to watch of the younger generation.

Greg Rikkart is amazing as well. Another reason to watch the show. One of the best things to come of the kidnapping is (hopefully) a good story for him.

I am loving Sharon's descent into darkness. I think Sharon Case is doing an excellent job with every nuance of this story.

What I'm loving is that (for the most part) it seems that every story that is apparently ending (Brad's death, Kay's kidnapping), the writers are using that to propel new stories (Sharon, Kevin) and it's great. Almost feels like ole time soap opera to me.

PS - I'm not a Phick fan, but that shower scene was incredibly hot!

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
