Monday's episode was really good. I liked how the chipmunk's voice kept changingj it finally became more versatile, more progressive. It would've been nice to have seen this earlier on. It was just so flat throughout Kevin's torment. I just wonder what the ramifications of all this will be since Gloria confessed and Kevin and Jana are ill. I do hope Jana dies. I like Emily but it's time one of the Fisher clan comes face to face with something they can't surpass. Jana's headaches are too serious to just cause a dispositional shift to the dark side.

I also don't see all the people complaining about Gloria and Victor not paying for their crimes omplain about Jack. While Victor serving Jack his comeuppance is the sweetest reward, it would be nice to see that jerk in jail for all that he's done in the past couple years. God I hate Jack.

And it's so obvious Adam's being a slithering pathetic snake. I hate Adam too. Deceitful punk.

Wow, Neil is actually leaving Newman Enterprises. Those scenes were wonderful, and I thought KSJ sold it well. However, the downside is that I feel like there should have been more build-up and impact. This is a huge move, and I wish the writers would have shown Neil contemplating this for awhile. I hope he moves over to Chancellor Industries and this is MAB way of having Neil interact with different characters. Bring him into Jill's orbit, that would be fun. Victor pretty much mentored Neil, and now they can be business rivals, but without the level of hate. This has TONS of possibilities.

Okay, I like Noah, but he was a total punk today.

LMAO @ Phyllis being arrested.

I am loving Colleen lately. Great move in having her interact with older characters. Colleen needs to evolve. However, I wish Heinle would be re-casted because I think Tammin would benefit from a more dynamic actress that can elevate her scenes, like Braeden.

I was just thinking what a wicked twist it would be if Nikki was gaslighting Ashely. LoL!

If you ask me, the writing is still not so good with this character. She still has no brain. That is NOT Colleen. She shouldn't have to be told every single move to do by her uncle Jack.

In words of Victor Newman: "I'm sick and tired of this farce." :P

They missed out on all that good stuff with Neil... and they definitely missed out on the good stuff with Paul. They could have had great scenes with Paul and Victor in a rivalry or something like that, either over Heather or over Nikki.

    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • 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.
