So we're calling him "The Cane" now? Like "The Fonz"? ;)

If only CBSD and Sony would relocate Y&R to Nashville....

(Do you think the Ryman Auditorium could be converted into a television studio?)

I'd say Adam needs to follow Suzanne Sugarbaker's advice, buy himself a wig, and get the hell out of town.

Ah, well. I just hope the conclusion to the "Who Killed Adam Wilson?" mystery is a good (and logical!) one.

Victor held Michael Scott (name?) prisoner in his basement, because Michael was having an affair with Victor's then-wife, Julia; and if I'm not mistaken, not only did he have a video camera installed, so that Michael would be "forced" to watch him and Julia have sex; but when Julia discovered what Victor had done, she miscarried her baby in a fall.

Not me. I'll never forget that scene when Mrs. Danvers oh-so-gently reminded Ashley that Sabrina always enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. Me: "Well, I'm having a Coca-Cola, so make like a step 'n' fetch it!"

A-ha! Interesting parrellels. It sort of bothers me that CE still sort of plays Adam as a frat-boy wasp. I see now why there was all the talk of re-casting him before. Tom Pelphry would have been SO awesome in this role. But CE is doing a good job, nonetheless, i just want more evil if he is indeed going evil. That "evil" laugh he gave after making that call to Heather a few weeks was weak. MJ though, that girl can cackle!

It's not really about Estella for me. Nearly everyone can relate to how frustrating it is to be accused of something you haven't done. Then you have this working class woman who is unjustly caught in a war between the big boys. She's got this billionaire bully giving her "warnings". You can see how distraught she was at being accused of such an ugly thing and for me it pulls on the heart strings a bit. And it makes me want to slug Victor because I don't believe he'll apologize when he finds out the truth.

Sometimes soaps manage to tap into universal feelings. Earlier today I found myself tearing up at the promo of Starr finding out her baby is alive. Not because I care about Starr, but because the idea that such a fundamental loss can be restored taps into something bigger. Maybe some sort of universal wish fulfillment that we all know doesn't happen (or rarely happens) in real life.

When Sharon went crazy after Brad's death and we even got to see Doris after all these years, I was under the impression that MAB was planning a big storyline about her past, which would explain why Sharon was doing such things. Was it just me? Everything seems to be forgotten now.

There. Is that better Sylph? Not that this in anyway diminishes my love for TSJ. (Damn it didn't change, although I changed it in my settings. I'll work on it)

And Adam must not be killed off. It's clear that they have to kill off Cane. Lilly can't have two failed marriages before she graduated college.

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
