I respectfully disagree. Every time Ark was on the screen, I wanted to whip out my scalpel and reconfigure her face. It always made me nauseous. I still remember the scene when she ate eggs from the Athletic club between those thin glossed up lips of hers, I felt like throwing up.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yo, Victor didn't even let Billy in his house!!

Then Adam chuckles after leaving that message for Heather?!? I love this episode so damn much. I gotta watch it again; so many intricacies LOL.

Why is Phyllis equating Restless Style with her marriage? That's so lame.

Maybe Billy could help Phyllis co-run Restless Style LOL.

I, for one, am getting annoyed by all these "outs" that Tammin keeps getting to do other films and such. Not that I want her on the show more often, but I feel like every time she leaves, so much story gets disrupted or dropped for her sake.

We all do.

I feel so sick and tired that I have to think about this for the millionth time..... how is she surviving there for SO MANY months?

Some genius most have negotiated her contract.

I go away for a meeting, and come back to this vomit of heresy so intense I'm sputtering. You all feed each other in this F-B/JT loathing...it's not NORMAL! :)

Who'd be making that lame excuse, huh? Listen, they had horrid, horrid beginnings, and that mother you despise is still in their lives. I think giving them a foothold in a normal, healthier family dynamic could be a revelation.

I don't see how you can find this compelling clan of grifters a "cancer". Genoa City is so homogeneously beautiful and wealthy. Finally we have a family that brings a different shading. They have enormous comedic value, the core members are uniformly well-acted. This loathing seems prejudicial, not based in fact.

Sigh. Here.

Thank you!

I don't see how you could have watched the "Christmas Carol" episode, or the moment of glory after Kevin came out of the catatonia, or the drama in the boxcar, or the boxing ring years ago...and SAY this. That said, Jana and Jeff are peripheral, and I suspect their departures are imminent...at least Jana. Barbie Bloom seems to have a hard-on for Shackleford.

I wish I could find this funny...but this one goes a bit too far for me. Even with your qualifier.

We are seeing an evocative portrait of a survivor. We're seeing what happens if you spend your first 50 years at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I guess you prefer fantasy on daytime??

Don't you find that fearless? I mean...they could write her sweet and loving and reformed? But instead, they maintain her throughline! She is a grifter. She always was and always will be. What a unique, original character. You all want to sand off her edges.

No, Nadine was Nadine.

Gloria is a DIFFERENT character. She's being written in a way that doesn't conform to some Soaps 101 template. Gloria is a true original because she is not redeemed, and she does not seek redemption.

I said it earlier..."everyday evil". Quotidien horror show. That's AMAZING.

She co-exists, on a daily basis, staring at the horror she's made of her son's lives. But still she persists...like the leopard she likes to wear...she cannot change her spots.

At the same time, she's not Sheila Carter evil...so we don't have to write her off. She's just bad enough that we can throw spitballs at the screen, all the while laughing at her next misadventure. "Here Fisher--here's a piece of steak--run out into the middle of the street and eat it."

That is EVIL. But it is also a little funny.

In addition, she DOES get her comeuppance, time and again. "Gloria, dear, wouldn't you like to go into your room and unpack your Hefty bags?"

==

Elsewhere in this thread was some sacrilege about sending JT to Europe or some sh!t.

Victoria can go...and be replaced by Heather Tom.

JT can stay, become permanently shirtless, and return to the bad-boy slut-dog he used to be. And then another good girl, like Colleen once was, can redeem him.

OK, yet again, the Adam scenes today are freaking me out! :(:( Did y'all catch the smirk on his face after leaving Heather the VM on helping him get out? Is he playing her AGAIN?!?!?!?

I so hope they aren't going down this path with Adam....but I'm sceeered.

Yeah, those 3-6 episodes per month with those throwaway scenes sure are impacting her "BIG" storyline.

but you know, Tammin did love the "Palm Springs" storyline. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pretty strange that for someone that is not a big star and that hasn't been with the show for very long gets all of these outs. If that isn't suspicious, I don't know what is.

      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.

      Thanks!

       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.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
