John and Jill never bothered me that much because if anyone was being taken advantage of in that relationship it was John. :lol: I don't remember the beginnings of Victor/Nikki and I'm too young to truly remember Victor/Ashly very well, so I can't judge. With Sabrina it was kind of gross, but it didn't have the sort of child bride vibe that Lily/Cane give off. A vibe that can only be magnified when real Philip hits the screen. I wish they had ended Cane/Lily once they knew TB was coming back. In fact I wish he were still married to Chloe and she hadn't been caught in her baby lie until real Phillip showed up. Chloe losing her meal ticket would have held a lot more drama for me. And even though Chloe is young too at least she comes off as a credible adult unlike CKLily.

So, some thoughts on today's episode:

Why the hell is Murphy giving the toast? Has he has more than two conversations with Lily and Cane?

The Tyra propping is sickening. This actress and character are not working, yet they insist on showing us how "good" she supposedly is with Neil and what a good person she is. Why is Neil even attracted to this woman, barring her physical attributes? They haven't established Neil's motives for going after this woman at all. Who cares?

That was a nice exchange between Lily and Daniel where they talked about their past together.

Does anyone buy Michael Baldwin as a straight man? I don't.

Devon = Zzzzzzzzzzzz, who cares?

If you take away the fact that I dislike most of those couples in the montage, I really liked the montage by itself, and the song was cute and very fitting.

Exactly. And they're pushing this in our faces after those amazing Karen scenes. It's like "she was right" but now, a few days later, Tyra is a freakin' saint?

Me neither.

Nobody.

As a representatives of the "Peoria housewives" segment of the population, I do buy him as straight. When someone told me he was gay, I wasn't shocked, but he never "pinged" for me. He also seems comfortable in his scenes. So if there is any gay person on the set of Y&R who can't sell straight I really don't think it's CLB.

So, Matt Kane is the new Casting Associate, apparently his first episode aired on May 7th, but I just noticed his name in the end credits today.

I didn't realize Marissa Rodriguez was let go, oh well. The casting has generally been very strong lately, those dayplayer roles being no exception.

I typed some of the lyrics I could remember into Google, "i dont want live another day wihtout you i just wanna be the one that makes you happy, makes you happy"...then at the bottom of the results page it showed that someone on "Yahoo! Answers" wrote down the lyrics and asked if anyone knew the song cause heard saw it on Y&R...lol

Neil should have given the toast not Murphy who barely knows this couple.

I liked the vibe between Lily and Daniel also.

I found Michael and Lauren sexy and always have. Their kisses were hot and CLB and TEB click. I don't find characters like Cane and Lily anymore convincing in a love scene and Phick's sex scenes are a joke at this point. I honestly think some let their knowledge of the actor's personal life color how they view the character, but if you look at the bed scene objectively it looked to me like a married couple getting it on in a playful way. That's why they call it acting. Now CLB can be a bit dramatic at other times, but I found his love scenes with TEB the most convincing of the couples on the show today. The actors are obviously good friends and comfortable with each other in these intimate scenes.

I think Bryton is a decent actor, and although I don't care too much about his character, I think he deserves a story at this point.

I agree with most of what you said, but not that part. Whoever his screen partner is Josh Morrow always looks like he is having the time of his life in love scenes. :lol: CLB looks comfortable in his scenes. He sells it well enough, but JM looks like he is ALL in. Doesn't matter if it's Sharon, Grace or Phyllis playing opposite. Now I guess you could claim that Josh is the better actor, but I really don't think that's the reason.

Yeah, I agree. Josh Morrow is a star at the hot sex scenes. I just find his scenes with Phyllis so hollow at this point, but it's not the acting, it's the story and characters. Josh is definitely not the better actor, but he is good in love scenes and that is why he always has had so many.

    • 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.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
