I agree with you. There was a time I liked Phick, but it's run it's course for me. Their affair was hot and I would have been happy if it ended there. Now, it's just holding Phyllis back. I'd love nothing more for her to cut bait.

I guess "age inappropriate" is in the eye of the beholder. I see nothing wrong with the Nick and Phyllis pairing, heck the way they are going, Nick will catch up with Phyllis, any day I expect him to say, "I can now access my trust fund!

WE as fans should worry less about a character's age and more about the character's behavior, the stories being told, the pacing and the future of soaps in general. As long as they are over the age of 21, it really is all relative!

So freaking true. It is like when I see half naked women running around on my soap and I haven't seen a shirtless guy in months. It makes me wonder who they think are watching these soaps. Why am I interested in watching old as the hills Victor turn on Nikki in favor of these young chicks? Now if Nikki dumped Victor and he was chasing after her that would be another story, but when does that ever happen?

Exactly, they were never compelling in the first place. The only thing interesting about them was their affair, and that was only because it was forbidden.

The best thing to happen to them was Sharon and Nick screwing again. It particularly did wonders for Stafford's acting.

But soon, it's just time for Phyllis to move on from Nick and let him go. Why does she want someone like that? He clearly isn't over his ex and she tolerates it.

Ruxton, I feel you. There's only so much that can be said about Phickron.

Back to P3. Since P3 and Cane were allegedly switched at birth, itt's really strange to think that P3 and Lily could have been a couple!

Here's a crazy thought, especially because I love MG as Daniel, but does anyone think it would actually be great move to kill off the character, assuming this whole art storyline is part of some criminal enterprise? MG's not going to want to stick around Y&R forever and the character doesn't really have a purpose on the show. But Daniel's death would provide a ton of story for Phyllis (and make her desperation to hold onto Nick that much more palpable), Amber, Kevin, Noah, etc. Where else does the character have to go? Amber could return to being sort of bitchy, Kevin would get back some edge and Noah would be haunted by the loss of another sibling and Phyllis would be brought back to her original state. I can't even believe I'm suggesting this because MG is one of the best in daytime, but it just came to me how Daniel's death could transform a slew of characters.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
