Too bad she's tied to GH, but Jane Elliot would've been a great temp Jill. A friend of mine mentioned this to me, and I have to agree. I can see her having vicious hate chemistry with Jeanne Cooper.

But I guess we have to wait until Monday to know more on this front. It's the waiting that sucks ass...

Actually I heard her shortness of breath too. The thing is, it is my understanding that they tend to edit the moments where no sound is produced. So sounds like breathing etc are often cut out. But there are times where the lines are delivered fast, and then you can hear it.

JW looks good in those pictures, whereas JC looks like a mannequin. What strikes me is that unsettling sad and haunted twinkle in JW's eyes... but of course I might be getting over sensitive because of what I've read these days.

So, I'm watching the marathon on SOAPnet right now, and according to a promo, there won't be a Y&R-thon next week. I did some quick looking around and beginning two weeks from tonight, the marathon's gonna start three hours earlier, at 4PM EDT/3PM CDT. This makes me sad...the marathon is my main way of catching up with the show because my weekday schedule pretty much pisses all over Y&R's timeslots, and I got pretty used to watching the whole marathon and then going party afterwards. I sure as hell ain't watching no Gilmore Girls before I go get my drink on!

First of all, if Jess Walton is indeed ill then I wish her a speedy recovery. That said, if some fans (me included) are still moaning about the Colleen recast after nearly two years then the fierce Jess Walton is most definitely irreplaceable so only a temporary recast will work for the character of Jill.

I agree, poor Cooper looked horrid!

I can't believe that I didn't associate the Queens photo shoot with the "Duchess" perhaps because we rarely hear anyone call her that anymore. Thanks so much for the explanation; I feel like a complete idiot!

I was wondering what they were going to do with the GG addition. I'm glad to see them keep the marathon and everything--and really, if that means the Y&R marathon and one less bad movie, works for me.

So still waiting for Lily and Cane to fall on their faces.

Yea, if jess is ill she's in my prayers. I am glad Y&R is doing the temp casting--and gawd that's going to be interesting to see who they pick. I love the Jane E idea, too bad it can't happen.

I thought Katherine looked great in the Indian Queen look. The darker hair really suited her nicely when combined with make-up, unlike the other pic with the dark hair and the totally washed out complexion. I don't mind seeing Restless Style being used for background filler like this.

It really disappoints me that they are trying to pimp out Nikki and Victor as some kind of super couple. They lost that a long time ago with his constant abusive treatment of her. She deserves better and he deserves to be alone and miserable. They act like emotional abuse and physical abuse are two different things and one is acceptable while the other is not. Neither of them are.

I, also hope that Jess is not ill. If she is, I hope for a speedy recovery. If it IS contract related, I say LET HER GO, but ONLY if they cna secure Dickson to come back... otherwise, they need to pony up and keep Jess. At this point, we all know Dickson is DESPERATE for work, and I'm almost sure she's come back for less money that Walton is making now. So it wouldn't surprise me if the producers might use Dickson as leverage in negotiations. I certianly don't want Dickson back as a temp...it's gotta be all or nothing. Adair would be ok as a temp.

OMG!!! Jill FIRED all the Abbotts?! BITCH! And rehired Cane?! STUPID BITCH!! I don't think I've ever hated Jill more! I mean, that's that "love to hate" hatred :D God, she got me worked up so much! But in the end, her world begins to crumble! Buahahahahaha! And that Nikki line from the previews... AMAZING! :lol: I hope everyone leave Jill (and Cane) out in the cold once everything's said and done! :D

Oh and don't EVEN get me started on Adam... what an ungrateful BITCH as well! Geez! Heather should never look at him again. Loser...

Loved Billy, Chloe and Dee scenes... :D I'm glad how Billy quit and how he told Jill she won't see Dee again.

Oh and I looooved Lily rejecting Cane! Finally she's showing she has a brain! Although I have a feeling she'll change her mind down the road.......

Loved the show!!

I LOVED how Jack and Ashley confronted Jill. Priceless :)

But we all know she'll come crawling back just because she has absolutely no friends and nothing else but her job.

For once my life... I actually liked Lily. It's weird... but it won't last.

About Heather... yeah... she can't seem to resist coming back helping Adam, no matter how much he hurts her each time.

About Lily... I used to like her... when she first came to town and the whole thing with Kevin... that was great... and then her relationship with Daniel was also great... but I don't know... ever since I came back to Y&R in early 2008, she's been so ANNOYING! I guess she's been like that ever since she returned... (I mean, ever since Khalil returned)

    • LMAO this is the funniest hill I'll die on. Here is what I'm saying ⬇

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
    • Joel Crothers would have been perfect as Owen (maybe because Margo wasn't too far off Denise). A shame he couldn't have played a dual role. Eliot did have more room to grow. I wonder if whatever allegedly happened with Denny Albee played a part in both their exits.
