9 pages from one episode? Unbelievable!

I hated that Phyllis cut up Sharon's clothes. Just like Dru did to Carmen Mesda's stuff. That's lame... even though Phyllis was scheming the whole time and knew what she was doing, watching that sartorial destruction again was like revisiting a bad memory. Let's leave LML in the past, shall we? In fact, during that entire meltdown, I didn't even see Phyllis. All I saw was Dru with her long weave, going bonkers on Carmen's clothes. I hope this wasn't the writers' intention. I don't know why they'd want to compare Phyllis and Dru. Are they comparing to reveal Phyllis's inner lunacy? Are they foreshadowing Phyllis going to the asylum as Dru did? I just don't like that idea at all.

I did like how Phyllis's shriek of rage overlapped Nick and Sharon's lovemaking. It wasn't a fantasy. Neither Nick nor Sharon were enraptured by their long-lost, coulda-woulda-shoulda memories. They both knew what they were doing was wrong while they were doing it and they did it anyway IMO. This must mean that Nick and Phyllis are through, right?

When was Kevin in a mental institution? I thought this was for a brief period during his time at Genoa City. But looking through his character profile online, I didn't find anything. So this must be prior to him coming to Genoa City. Does anyone remember when he was there?

What I found funny was -- Phyllis spent ages cutting up lingerie. Sexy underwear. I didn't see Sharon's clothes getting the scissor treatment. Just her Lifetime Supply of Brooke's Bedroom undergarments! How many drawers-full of that stuff did she have? :lol: I felt it was Y&R's nod-and-wink to all those posters who comment on Sharon stripping down every two seconds in a brand-new piece of sexy lingerie. She even wears them under her flannel pjs on an alone-time retreat to the cabin!

Michelle Stafford is having quite the renaissance here. Its so fascinating to watch. When Phyllis called Michael (I was so waiting for her to do that, and she did) I got tears in my eyes. Phyllis is in a bad, bad place right now and Michelle sold it so well.

    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      look who’s at a party I’m at
    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!
