Why is anyone surprised? I swear, I can't recall nulilLucy having even one scene with BigLucy or her Aunt Lily, and she's been around for months.

LOL...I nearly laughed at two things today....Parker's managing to outwit Craig (for the time being) and Jack busting Janet's hypocrisy. While it's a stretch to say I enjoy the adults running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to bust up Parker and Lib, it's freakin' Shakespeare compared to the baby plot.

And I hate how Craig shoves a glass into Carly's hand as she protests she doesn't want a drink.

As for the baby plot...the only good things are getting to see Kim and Henry. Brad, Katie and V are all delusional and boring.

The Carly/Jack/Janet/Craig stuff was actually funny today. I hate Parker so much.

The whole baby plot was so predictable from the beginning that it is so boring to watch. Who didnt see it coming??

I love the Luke/Noah conflict over Zac and Zoe. (I side with Noah on this one.)

I love Luke showing his immature side, causing concern to Noah and Lily -- yet more proof that the show portrays Luke as gray, not all good.

OMG Dusty today, "save three lives"? Really? And Lucy going on and on about the "FGA" and her "mission" for the starving children, which I'm 95% certain is just a cover story, annoys me too. Lucy said Dusty is the same as Paul, I actually think he is getting *worse* than Paul. At least Paul is not so self-righteous about his immoral actions.

Meg is suddenly watchable again. I like how she chose not to rat Paul out to the social worker. I like that Paul fell for it too. And I like that she is refusing Dusty's help. However, let's see how long this lasts before she changes her mind again and goes flying back to Dusty.

Lisa/Damian had scenes when he returned in 2006, and Goutman/Passanante were in charge then too.

I think they will have scenes eventually, just don't know when. I agree with P.J. that it is also annoying that Lucy has not had scenes with Lily/Lucinda/Luke yet either. More than that, it was frustrating that they didn't even care when she was in town and out of town again in December.

All My Shadows, I liked the Z twins their first and second days but I didn't like them today. Less memorable lines, too much "Z" "Z", too much trust of them by Luke. I am waiting for a new layer to their relationship and story. And I am waiting for Casey and Jade to get involved in this story.

I swear by the sign of Z there have never been two more annoying twits on this show. EVER.

Ugh. Remember when Damian was hot with a capital H??? I don't know if it was just the camera angles today or what...but today he looks like a pencil-necked geek in a suit two sizes too big.

Luke the hypocrite's back in full force today. Didn't he get his panties in a twist over that "prank" video Kevin's manager did during the election? What the Z's did to Damian was the exact same thing. Yet, that's okay, because he's "got to remind himself everyday not to trust Damian". WTFever.

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
