:lol:

Honestly, I'm leery of Mary Jane. Don't "Star Trek" fans usually warn that a "Mary Jane" is a sort of surrogate for the writer?

Has MJ slept with Jack already? Sheesh. Nice goin', Y&R. :lol:

Okay, maybe she is Patty, which doesn't work, IMO. It presumes Patty never made peace with anything Jack did; that that last year or so in GC when she dated Danny and began putting the pieces of her life back together didn't happen...

And once again, I wish MAB weren't writing this damn show. :rolleyes:

Yep - they did the nasty. And during their "afterglow", MJ nailed Jack (again) by revealing she's not married. And Stacy gave one of the best evil cackles i've heard in a long time on soaps.

I've said it before, but irregardless of who she is, SH is so damn good. She's the best addition to the show since Murphy.

You know, I don't really remember it being a YEAR that Patty dated Danny. I remember her moving back into her parents house and seeing a therapist (played by Veleka Gray, who was simultaneously playing a manicurist on the same show). I remember Bill Bell putting an end to the story, by having Patty realize she WASN'T dealing with things well, and deciding she had to get out of town. I remember Patty moving to Washington to live with her reporter brother Steve, who had moved there earlier.

So, the premise for her leaving town was that she COULDN'T DEAL.

When Mary and Paul last discussed Patty, briefly, Mary lamented that she had lost contact with her daughter, and wondered what had become of her.

I believe, therefore, that it could quite easily be Patty, based solely on backstory. She never recovered from Jack, and she has been missing for a very long time. (This was my reason for wishing Patty to be Tawny, Amber's mom).

Honestly, I'm still fuming - not that my theory wasn't correct, lol, but that the writers would dredge up part of the history but conveniently "forget" the rest of it. But, should I expect anything less from a show which somehow has Billy older than Kate/Chloe, or Heather Stevens and Cane Ashby in the same age-group as Lily Winters and Victor Newman, Jr.?

Yes, this next era we're moving into is filled with interesting mysteries, which is what I always love.

Who is Mary Jane? Who is gaslighting Ashley? Who will Rafe schtupp. And so forth. Posing questions and dragging out the answers is very, very cool.

So she waited all these years to get plastic surgery and return to GC, seeking revenge?

If that's true, then that makes me hate the story even more.

Who do we have to kill to get a different HW?

Oh now that I didn't know either! It's going to be really interesting to see if how they inform the audience of Patty's past. They can't use Jack flashback's cause Terry Lester was playing Jack then, right? And, minus Jack, they could show flashbacks of Patty, but which one would they show? Andrea Evan's Patty or Lilbet Stern's. i think a story like this REALLY needs flashbacks.

MarkH - do u have the link to the trascript for tomorrow's show? I have to see the dialouge betwwn MJ and Paul..like now! hehe. I'm in total Y&R geek mode today.

No, in her first "back of the head" scene with Victor it was implied she'd been in accident and was disfigured.

For that part of the story, I'm imagining something like a Vanessa Prentiss arc.

In other words, why did Patty never come home? Maybe part of the reason is that she had a horrible accident and her face was terribly disfigured. Lacking the means to fix it, and ashamed, she lived in seclusion.

When Victor hunted her down, part of the appeal was that he would fix her face (soap opera style). Of course, a side benefit is that she looks different...and can therefore do stealth work for Victor.

Don't you DARE compare this mess to Vanessa's story, lol! That story was beautiful...well, that is, until she became annoying. ;)

But Khan - Patty had no means or resources to exact revenge on Jack till Victor came-a-calling. From what I can tell from her adoration of Victor, he truly saved her from SOMETHING. I don't know what it is, but her face was bad and she wasn't too well off. Revenge + money+ opportunity makes it plausible for me.

      I'm pretty sure Lucy and Bridget never even have another scene together for the rest of the time they're both on the show. Bridget isn't even invited to the wedding! The lack of community feeling and continuity of non-romantic relationships during this period is very jarring. Characters suddenly only seem to interact with a handful of other characters, rather than characters across the canvas. I'm deep into 1997 in my watch right now and find that it's even stranger because the show goes back and forth between ignoring history in order to manufacture some kind of separation between characters (for example, at one point Amanda refers to the Coopers as a family that the Spauldings "barely know," despite her and Alan spending the better part of 1996 going to war with Buzz over 5th street, and Alan has absolutely no reaction when he finds out about something bad that's happened to Abby, which seems pretty out of character given how close they were in 95/96) and ignoring history in order to create a sense of community that doesn't quite fit (characters who couldn't stand Amanda are suddenly acting all buddy buddy with her). The wheels really feel like they're coming off in 1997 (although I know some would argue that the wheels started to come off years earlier). Watching the Marcus/Dahlia romance again from a 2025 perspective is so weird. Marcus is a full grown man who must be at least in his mid-20s and he's dating a teenager who is not only still in high school, but is still fully a year away from graduation, and no one says anything about how creepy that is. I feel like the buzz around Marcus gave the illusion that the show was more invested in him than it ever actually was. Even during his "big" story where he's arrested for Cutter's murder, he actually doesn't appear on screen very often. He's imprisoned, Griffin is brought on, other characters make a fuss about trying to get him out, but there's a long stretch of time where he doesn't appear at all. I've been keeping episode counts while I watch and between Cutter's death in mid-November of 1995 and the end of the year Marcus/Mambo only appears 7 times (and of that only twice in December).

      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.
