Well, except this would mean that the RS portal (run by Sony) wouldn't get monthly updates either. That will be a clue if they have abandoned ship on this one. If there is no new cover...

As RS became, I have no problem with it disappearing.

On the other hand, it was a squandered opportunity. They had a chance to build RS into a genuinely interesting portal that could have been an e-commerce and backgrounder-augment for the show. But they never really invested in that.

ETA: Yup, they're still stuck on "men we love".

Yes, they didn't even touch the site for weeks.

They could at least try to explain why there was no new edition. Last year if they would miss an issue they'd freak out and worry about going out of business, yet this year nothing. I have the feeling they'll keep the magazine but only if they'll need it for some other storyline.

They aren't even trying to say they're going to their jobs, they just go around town fighting. I actually like it that way. RS was overexposed.

Restless Style was definitely Maria's idea. Just read her resume and what she did before (re-)joining Y&R... Life imitaing art - anyone?

Still catching up with "this week" after too much partying in the past few days :P but dare I say that Kevin-story is a killer!? It's so morbid, so dark and creepy - it is just shocking to watch.

Love it; not only HBO can produce really meaty drama. Who says daytime is dead? Kudos belong to Maria & her crew. (So far Teresa Zimmerman's Y&R scripts have been very good considering her B&B has always been very uneven.) Especially for how this story was conceived. We thought Amber & Kevin were to hit the sack out of the Kay story but instead they took a completely different direction. Chapeau! :)

Oh, I'm sure it was her idea, given her fashion background. But she's really stopped focusing on it over the past 5 months or so, not that I'm complaining.

The Kevin storyline is turning out a lot better than I expected. On paper it might sound a little over the top, but it plays out really well on screen. Zimmerman's scripts have also been good, though I'll wait a bit longer to judge her Y&R work overall.

Phyllis will probably get RS in the divorce. I guess if they divorce. Looks like they're building so some sort of split but seems kinda soon for a full on divorce/split. I would be OK if that magazine was only mentioned in passing.

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....
