MarkH, we have different views of human nature. I don't think Devon should be like Victor just because he had a similar background. Very often people from the same background take wildly different journeys. Look at the real life example of Thom Bierdz and his brothers. Three very different life paths.

Not to be depressing about it, but I think our DNA is much more important in who we become. We've all heard the stories of identical twins separated at birth ending up with similar careers and similar spouses. I am discounting environment but I do think it's less determinative than our natures.

Speaking of twins, I'm now a big fan of Cane and P3 being fraternal twins because of what it does for Jill. This gives her three sons on canvas, two of which are Chancellors. When Kay passes, Jill, by virtue of being mother to Cane & P3 and grandmother to P4, becomes the de facto Chancellor matron. I want Jill to have MORE family, not less family.

^_^ You can't bring me down. I just watched Glee on Fox. "I can't stop believin'" That show is totally for the Fame lovin' high schooler I used to be.

I hear you about Devon vs. Victor. But my point is that Devon grew up as a runaway on the streets. There should be SOME trace of that hardness.

But I'm fine with Devon as he is. Bryton is good, and is capable of even more.

Please no fraternal twins :) . I want Cane to be a con with a good heart (think Sawyer on Lost). But I want P3 to be what he was...Jill's only first child.

Anyway...what is the plausibility? Someone steals P3's dead body, rescusitates him, and brings him to live with his fraternal twin in Australia that Kay stole??

Those twists will send Alvin over the edge! <_<

I just saw today's US show and what the hell was Lily wearing? Cap sleeves on bra straps??? EWWWWWWWWWWW. It was as tacky as the teddy's Phyllis used to wear in the Danny days, the only thing missing was the gloves. I'm surprised they weren't playing Madonna's Like a Virgin..."touched for the very first time" when she came IN.

I so can't wait for the Cane secret to come out. Unfortunately for it to have been kept such a secret, TB probably isn't even filming yet, and nothing is going to happen until November sweeps. My hope would be for Lily to come out of it a lot less baby talky and a little more jaded, but considering the history of the character on this show, that should already have happened.

As for people wanting to get rid of Jana, I don't understand why. EO can ACT. She was awesome telling Billy off and could have a real future as a young heroine on this show. If only they would establish her apart from the Fisher clan. They really need to have more cast integration on this show and let relationships develop organically out of on screen chemistry rather than forced script direction.

Tomorrow's show is really good, someone other than Noah actually knows that Condoms exist!!

It's nice that some of you are enjoying the show in its present incarnation, but I simply cannot. I will continue to watch however, Y&R has been apart of my daily routine for years, so it's a habit that I can't consistently break, no matter how bad the show gets.

Everything on this show is falling FLAT to me. I know they're trying, but they're trying too hard, to the point where a lot of substances and suspense is sucked out.

Maria, Sheffer, and Hamner have until this Phillip III storyline gets off the ground before I start my, "Fire Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner" thread, complete with the beating of the drums. :)

You guys are too funny! So I guess Colleen's big story was Brad's death, right? Considering she's been MIA for most of '08, that's pretty big in relative terms.

JT seriously needs to run into Mac, Billy and the gang already. If we're stuck with CF/Mac, a good way to endear her to the audience is to have her strike up her friendship with JT again and to feel some wistfulness upon meeting Reed. We know that JT is chafing a bit under Victor's heel. Mac could be the perfect talk-to for him. It's a good way to get the audience to see Mac in a new light and not weighed down by all the expectations of Billy/Mac. And hey, maybe JT & Mac will have chemistry?

I totally understand. Though you think I'm a Y&R "fanboi", I feel exactly like you do about B&B. I watch out of sheer loyalty and hope for better days.

YES!

JT, Mac,

, Billy. Properly acted, Colleen could be thrown in with them.

Victoria really doesn't fit...and I think that should be the germ of a storyline. She and JT don't fit. They should be drifting apart. JT should feel pulls to both Mac and Colleen.

JT will NOT have chemistry with Mac, and you know it :). Don't even tease.

But here is my HUGE HUGE FEAR. With all those names listed, it feels certain some IDIOT would want to inject Brittany into this mix.

No no no.

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR BRITTANY. NEVER WAS. NEVER WILL BE.

I want to get rid of Mrs. Kevin Fisher, not EO. I agree that EO is a very good actress. I just find no purpose to the current incarnation of Jana besides being Kevin's cheerleader. It's a waste of the actress. Me and the twin thing again (they run in my family). Give Jana a twin. Make a super slutty super tramp. Make the twin the character we see most of the time, and only bring out Jana when Kevin needs a cheerleader.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no use for Britney. There's no place like home.

Miracles happen. Doesn't the Lane story make you believe in miracles?

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.
