Filler Friday alert, everyone's faves are on today: Lame, Victoria, JT, Colleen, Chipmunk crew, and a little party at the Newman ranch which were really just repeats of scenes at the Newman ranch from the last week or two. What has happened to this show, there are no storylines?

And if Lily wasn't bad enough anyways, now they have her talking in a baby voice like her natural one isn't irritating enough.

It's a weak batch of episode this week - even the eternal optimist in me sees that. Good moments interspersed throughout, but not nearly as strong as the "I hate myself" week, or the Billy/Chloe wedding rehearsal dinner/wedding week.

I'm hoping that next week with

, it'll pick up again. May Sweeps, after all. I haven't given up hope. Yet.

Mary Jane - this b!tch is going to give Sheila a run for her money as Y&R's all-time best villainess. She's getting so creepy. Reminds me of the teasers that MAB blabbed about how Victor's perfect plan goes to hell - and it looks like the fact that she's a PSYCHO is what makes that happen. I'm more convinced than ever it's Patty but with Stacy Haiduk playing her, I don't care who her identity is really. She's FEROCIOUS!

And popular opinions be damned, I like Cane. I like Lily (now). I think Cane's an awesome guy and I think he was way gracious with Billy and Chloe today. Releasing all that anger and turning it into love for Lily is very entertaining and sweet. MAB's a genius for putting him back to his bartender roots and out of the suits. Long live Lane!

Which normally, I'd agree with you. But the episode we compared that to (Jack/Nick at the bar, Phyllis/Sharon at home talking, Kay/Murphy in bed) had beautiful character moments. This week, I'm not really finding it.

But it's okay. Nobody's screaming the H-word (at least on my end). It was a lot weaker than previous weeks, but still watchable. I wasn't beating any drums last year, and I don't plan on beating any drums this year. :P There will be high points and low points, but when the most memorable part of the week was the Chipmunk (and not in a good way), it's a low point. If it keeps up like this for three months, that's another story. But for now, I'm chalking it up to an off-week, and moving on.

And I love my

. LOL!

I enjoyed the Newman party, as I never get tired of seeing Heather try to take on Victor :lol: He is so dismissive towards her, its hilarious. And I think people are panicking just because it was an off week.... things were firing on all cylinders for a good month leading up to the resolution of Katherine's story. Its just a time of transition.... I think anyway.

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • 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.
