And I seriously ain't interested in Kevin having to defend his actions yet again. It's been done before. And if they choose to have Jana's headaches turn her evil again, the it's another redo.

I have faith that Paul R/Maria B see the error of their ways with the Kevin and Neal stories; they are both big clunkers but still watchable compared to the crap on most other soaps. They need to wrap the Kevin story up quickly and move on. Let's give them a chance. I could do with out CB/Michael. His histrionic acting tells me he needs a long vacation with Anthony Geary in Amsterdam. Jana needs to be off teh canvas. Gloria and Jeff can work with better storylines.

I'm torn. Rikkart is a good actor, but the character is also overexposed. I would send him away to the funny farm for 5 years at LEAST, keep Michael around and give him and Lauren some drama to test their marriage (Maybe Eden could be a runaway or something?) I think Jeffrey needs to be GONE, SOMEHOW... and since Gloria didn't get her comeuppance and is not in jail right now, she needs to get EVERYTHING she wants in life, swimming in money from Victor, let everything go her way and have her happy as a clam for the next 3 months, and then she gets hit by a bus. Jana can be dropped to recurring, we can see her about as often as we see Gina.

You don't speak for all of us :-).

Honestly, I keep hoping that she'll have a little self-realization, APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY AND HEARTFELTLY for exposing the boys to Tom, and then start scheming to protect her cubs. She can still scheme...she should just be a little less self-serving.

But therein lies the problem with the soap audience. We're all freaking moralists. Why can't we just accept and enjoy bad people? We do in other genres. Why do the "bad" folks always have to die in a trash compactor?

There is something compelling about everyday evil, as it pretty much exists in the world. Some people never do the right thing.

The other thing is that Gloria really isn't always intentionally evil. She's reckless, and that is a far more compelling thing to watch. Amber is reckless too...and I just love that little kewpie.

When Gloria went to Jeff and said, "What did Kevin do to you?" All I could think is, it's all your fault BITCH. She's the one who subjected a toddler to torture at the hands of his father, because Tom must have stimulated her nether regions really good. Gloria should really learn to take some responsibility for how her sons have turned out and maybe then she'd be able to eventually redeem herself. This constant blaming of others for all her problems is pathetic and why she has worn out her welcome.

I really enjoyed Micheal and Kevin beating up Jeff. I still want Jeff gone though and he can take that troll of a wife with him.

And I agree with MarkH and Adam. The villains are the more interesting characters, which is why I am rooting for the Terminators :) This is why Gloria is not one of my faves, she's not a villain, she's a wannabe victim. Go Sheila, Go Phyllis, Go Tricia.....you BITCHES rock.

Mac never was one to smile much with the exception of Rachel Kimsey's Mac, which wasn't the actress' fault.

Billy Miller has brought his character to life and I hope that Clementine Ford gets the chance to do the same with Mac. I'm hoping they go the route of Kevin/Mac/JT, now wouldn't that bite Billy Abbott's ass after finding out that he is no longer related to Mac.

Agreed! LML made the mistake of trying to make the Baldwin/Fishers a core family.

      The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?

      Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
