What happened to your PHYLLIS MUST DIE storyline?

No one liked it, I guess! So I stopped pushing my agenda!

<sigh>

The fact that she blames mostly Sharon and not Nick is absurd.

People on soaps never blame the man, it is always the other woman. I've seen enough of that in real life as well to believe that they are reflecting the views of their primary audience. Men are viewed as beasts without any self control so it is up to other women to keep their hands off of a "taken man".

On a side not, if Phyllis is abused than it makes her more like Nikki and Nick like Victor than Nick and Sharon are.

Poor Eileen.

Did she take a pay cut???

DR always looks that way.

It's as if she's always thinking, "Babies, I'm just here for the paycheck."

Forgot to add (not that anyone cares): Maria is good at historicizing stories, she imbues, soaks them in these historic references to blind the fans and stop them from seeing how much it all sucks underneath those shout-outs to history.

No but she's acting her tail off.

Yeah, nobody probably cares.

Isn't it depressing for you that this formula works better than anything else on daytime?

Is it that hard to write an interesting love story for Devon? Does he always need to have some huge family revelation or a medical storyline?

I feel ya. They have Tatiana Ali around merely to show that he's not a social dud. She barely says anything other than "Nice to meet you". Frankly, TA is more well known than any of them. She was on successful show for years. I don't know why she would even do this no-role role.

Oh, puhleez! Don't you see how much it doesn't work? The last week's thread, your own yawns?

Y&R stays on top mostly, but not only because of, inertia.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

It is hysterical for me! I can't stop laughing and that's why I watch! The awfulness entertains me.

She's got to do something, I guess. They should use her more, she's good.

I remember it last year when you said that you watch the show even when it's boring. I'm just the same. Remember last year's March-August?

I know my yawns and each of them had a reason. There are stories that work and even though the system has various cracks, I'm okay with the show.

True.

I guess I'm at a point where I just sleep-walk through the soaps. Just watch because of that same inertia...

So, I'm guessing that there's no reason for tuning in for today's show since there doesn't appear to be any discussion of it (other than Della looking bored).

No follow up on P3's short "appearance" on Friday?

Discussion about the episodes? God forbid.

I don't think they'll follow up on this one so soon.

Cane/Lily NEED to go on a long honeymoon. Surely there has to be some married couple on a honeymoon.
