I would be interested to hear about that too...I couldn't STAND the Kay/Jill love fest. THAT felt forced and unnatural to me. What's happening now with Jill losing her sh*t as her life falls apart feels totally organic and in line with the character.

omg. billy miller is perfection.

he was heartbreaking as billy was trying to hold it together as he talked to jack.

i still dont understand why billy has to be with chloe to keep his daughter. thats just odd and screams plot point to me, whatever the reason. but whatever. all soaps need plot points.

I love that Jill and Katherine are fighting again. If they start that lovey dovey crap, I'm gonna vomit. Like Jill said today, "they were born to be enemies," and that's how I like it, that's why I love them.

I started to feel bad last week about Chloe getting the biggest loser role, but now I'm thinking it's so the audience can warm up to her and start to feel for her and not look at Chloe as some gold digging trash.

I think the make-up department is making CF look older by creating or accentuating dark circles under her eyes and then cutting to Chloe who looks perfect. Mac looks tired and worn out, but will hopefully start looking better once she's had a few nights sleep and fresher make-up. She didn't look so bad in the dream marriage scenes that Billy was fantasizing. I don't instantly hate her, not sure if I like her either, but then I never enjoyed Mac.

Well I think the thing is considering Cane was under the impression that HE was the father. He signed the birth certificate. If he claims Billy is unfit to take on the role of father to this child and that he is more responsible which is the reason why Chloe lied in the first place, and said Cane was the father, the court might award Cane custody. With them at least being married, it kind of throws out any accusation Cane may have about Billy being reckless and unstable as a parent. With them married it shows they are attempting to give the child a loving stable home.

I agree.

They had mac in reg kind of baggy clothing. the dark circles. the messy-ish hair. she looked pretty tired and was suposed to be. i mean this girl has been in less than steler living conditions, just flew half way across the world because she heard her grandma isnt dead afterall, or might not be anyways. they even has people comment on how she looked and she went to get cleaned up. but getting cleaned up doesnt really mean applying fifteen layers of makeup for a girl like mac. Chloe yes, Mac no.

so yeah, a big plot point. a deatiled Y&R plot point, but a plot point.

But Cane KNEW he wasn't the father when he signed the birth certificate. Of all of 'em, Cane is the one who committed a crime: fraud!

Really, the whole custody battle is ludicrous, no judge would EVER award custody to Cane since both of the child's parents, plus their respective grandmothers, are all alive!

oh damn, I forgot he knew he wasn't the father when he signed it!

I still am hoping we find out Cane isn't the real Phillip and the real Phillip really is dead and was the boy that Jill raised who had Phillip IV with Nina. That way Cane is back to Australia!

That would be so powerful. I can see Jess in a scene like that now, it would be monumental. Her rage, her fury, that someone was pretending to be hear dead son. It would be an outrage as it would bring up all the memories of how Katherine took Phillip from her as her husband and now Cane is trying to pass himself off as her son Phillip! A perfect entrance to the return of Nina, and Phillip IV. And after all that, a nomination for Jess as Outstanding Lead Actress, then the Emmy would go to... Jess Walton!

    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that.
