He may have been suffocated from her cleavage. Entertaining though. It's hard to remember Jess had only been playing Jill for a year or two at this time, her work is so raw and true to character. I am just blown away by her over and over through the years.

I'm glad I found this clip, I was sure this was just some delusion on my part. :P

I hope they will show this in a flashback soon, it's a great moment.

TB just has to be playing Phillip III! I don't him to play P3's twin or any such nonsense.

If Cane's DNA is similar enough to Billy's for them to be related, but Cane is really an Abbott? Could John Abbott have an illegitimate love child?

God I love your assessment of Adam. It is because of CE's performances that I am starting to understand where Adam is more and more now. In this same thread I voiced my confusion but as I watch him more I see the layers. I totally agree CE is AW for me for all the reason s you said. Today when Ashley was freaking out for a split second I saw remorse and then I saw him snap out of it, it was all so subtle. That's brilliant to me. CE plays up the subtleties of the character so that he can peel the layers at the right moments within the scene. Adam is enthralled in his plot at this point. He is driven by this thirst to to "show and damage them" at the same time. It's evil genius and CE is still Hope's Kansas farmboy son when I look at him

Frankly, I've always wondered if Bell wanted to make Phillip gay, but knew doing so would cause ratings erosion or something.

Phillip's emotional state reminds me so much of so many gay youths. The uncomfortableness and never feeling like you fit in, which is of course very common in gay youth.

Damn girl, you made a CE believer out of me! I agree with all your points especially about his motivation. Forgot for a secend Ashley is Jack's sister so of course he's targeting her. As for CE though, I still would like a more dark prescence, you didn't really like his evil laugh did you? He's still got this whole frat boy thing that doesn't translate well for me but I do like how he uses his blindness to blind OTHER people (loved him punking Nick by falling).

I always thought TB's Phillip was gay. It screamed it...LOL....He was drunk when he slept with Nina and had a crush on Cricket..if that doesnt tell you he was gay nothing would have.

She's a favourite of mine too, and one of the first reasons the show caught my attention. She was the perfect blend of actress and character. She also has a very common/everyday girl thing about her that she's never lost. Very good actress that always turned in consistent work.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
