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.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
