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.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
