So. Much. Word.

Besides, I like it best when a soap has one major schemer you can set your (love-to-)hates upon. Like AMC's Erica Kane, back in the day. Not that every other character should be squeaky-clean by comparison, but when there's a glut of scheming, villainous types on any show, it tends to make all the skulduggery that much less compelling.

For now, Y&R has Jack, Jill, Phyllis, and Chloe. IMO, they really don't need Gloria, Michael (although, it wouldn't hurt to keep him around in a Mitchell Sherman-esque capacity), Kevin, Jeff, Adam, and Amber, too.

Oh crap. I don't have a warm fuzzy after that scene with Adam and Rafe. Adam needs to quit sneaking around and listening in on people's conversations! Ignorance is bliss as they say....

Miller is so adorable. I loved his little "hmmm" sigh when he was talking to Sharon. :wub:

Listen, I would be okay with them if they had one person in the family who is [A] empathetic, but who could stand up to their shenanigans and say, "Don't any of you have any morals?!". Eden comes closest, but damn, she's so annoying.

Just wait a year or two---she'll have her criminal record soon. You can't be a member of that family and not have a few crimes in your past. They will probably throw her out of their apartment and tell her to come back after she robs/kills someone.

It was a good touch. John/ Billy's conscience didn't pervade the entire episode.

Wow, this episode is flying by. Nick at the manse then Restless Style. Billy at the Abbot office then the Athletic Club, etc.

"You can't have two things. You have to choose one." Then, Sharon walks in. LMAO.

Jack can't provide Billy guidance. Damn right!!!

I love this John.

Oh, no. We've seen Kevin as a darker character. If he wasn't giving STD's to underaged girls he met on the Internet, he was battling chipmunks for total supremacy. That's more than enough "dark Kevin" for me.

I've gone blind. I have literally gone blind.

mmmmm hmmmm!

Oh CRAP AGAIN! Now that scene with Adam and Victor really has me pissin my pants. <_<<_<

Estella is very sympathetic in her scenes with Ashley, and it really makes Ashley come off as the bitch. I wonder if that's their intent?

    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time.
    •   Footballers Wives! That takes me back

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.  
    • -- That scene was a mess because of Sheila. Why would Bill go To that pizza dump? And why would he tolerate Sheila sitting at his table for even 5 seconds? -- Also a mess? Liam's dialogue. Telling $Bill how much he admires and respects him was hilarious! Then it went on! "Your presence, your guidance and influence...you made me a man. You made me THIS man." Jesus.    
    • Not FOOTBALLERS' WIVES!!!! TASTE, DARLING. LOVE IT. Cool!!!
    • I can't help but think that this was a Ron/Jamey plot, that Paula/Jeanne just decided to run with.  Hopefully, it'll be written better than what we've had to endure previously. Roman runs it, and she helps. Interesting. I felt a similar way every time Ben called Charlie, 'Chuck'
