How about a promo for what's ahead?

Elizabeth Hendrickson is my new favourite actress on daytime. She just, rocks.

Monday's show was enjoyable. Without giving anything away, the Phyllis/Jack scenes were good. MS and PB are always great together. I think the best is yet to come.

I liked Devon going off on Tyra, but I wish Bryton will stop with the diva antics when acting (waving his hands), he reminds me of Lil Bow Wow when he does that. Oh, and Tyra wasn't half bad bad in that scene. Then I started to hate her again.

I missed Mary Jane, she's a hoot. Those sunglasses the other day was too much.

Raul/Mac were surprisingly enjoyable, and their story made sense.

^^Agreed on both counts. I hope they don't get rid of Mary Jane because they kept Phyllis.

Oh and Kristoff St. John may not be the most dynamic actor, but DAMN that man is FINE. However, stupid TPTB decided to give us too much shirtless Kevin instead. Blah.

Elizabeth Hendrickson has really impressed me on Y&R, I could NOT STAND her as Maggie but with a stronger character and better writing she just shines. How fun was she on Friday with the "wait for it, wait for it, it's not you!" to Billy?

Between her, Billy Miller, Stacy Haiduk and James Scott that's 4 actors AMC wasted that went on to find success on other soaps. Any future AMC actors should just consider the job a year long audition.

AMC sucks for wasting those actors, but at least they have a great casting director who found them. Why the hell does Y&R hire folks like Eva Marcille? If anything Y&R should hire way AMC's casting director. He/she obviously has an eye for talent.

I think Cornelius might be much closer to what I imagined Devon as. I guess he's a bit too old? But he can play angry-and-bitter when needed, right?

I definitely know Egan could bring more range to Mackenzie...but don't you think she's too "chirpy"...too close to Rachel Kimsey?

And no...just no...please no...to Minshew. But that is probably a personal bias. I'm still holding out for Heather Tom, though I am partial to Alvin's Tognoni idea. Tom & Tognoni already shared OLTL's Kelly...so maybe sharing Y&R's Victoria could work.

    • Ugh, that's just a shame to hear about Bridget/Lucy and David. Not even going to their wedding is awful. I'm not there yet in my watch, but I'll be disappointed with that. And if Nick/Susan are now already gone too, which I'm assuming they are because they're no longer in the end credits, then who even is at this wedding besides family? I hate to hear that about 1997. Btw, I'm happy to hear we're pretty close in our viewing timeline

        That comment Amanda makes is weird, but maybe if she's just talking about herself, I'd understand. But otherwise, makes no sense considering the Buzz/Alan rivalry over Reva, Lucy/A-M being a couple and the interaction A-M has with the Coopers throughout and vice versa, Frank/A-M's past.  I can't speak to Harley because I haven't seen her yet, but surely in her years in SF, she had a past with some Spaulding family member haha. That's a shame about Alan not having a reaction to Abby. I was wondering for months now if Abby would ever get back into Reva and Alan's orbit now that everyone is back in SF and away from Goshen, and wouldn't you know it, just last week in March/April 1996, Abby visited both Reva and Alan separately (Alan just gave Abby a job at Spaulding Enterprises). It was so nice to see they both still really cared about Abby, but said to hear that wanes going forward.  Alan just sucks - the most selfish/hateful/arrogant character - so I guess I can't be surprised. He barely tolerates Alex these days, and I guess he's back in A-M's good graces post-Marian. Otherwise, no one else in town likes him now that Reva dumped him. Great observation on the Marcus stuff, and having just seen it, you're right!  The storyline really wasn't about him once he was put in jail, it was really about introducing Griffin (whom I do not like at all), Roger who framed Marcus and accelerating his storyline with Dinah, and putting the pieces together with Marian being the real killer. Marcus is rarely seen while in jail, as your character count proves. I didn't even think about the age different between Marcus and Dahlia, but you're right - yikes. I was actually already getting worried about Rick/Abby's age differences, because Abby's mother told a doctor she was 22 years old, but then Rick said 18 a week later and she hangs out with Michelle and the other high school-aged people, so which is it? But I'd assume Rick is what, in his mid/late-30s? So that pairing I was already starting to question with age difference.

    • I'm surprised Philip hasn't teamed up with Shawn-D to steal the potion, they seem to have forgotten that they grew up together
    • @MaximJust read that originally this was written to be an Ariana Grande solo!!!

    • Yes. Sometime in the relatively recent, past few months. This news is fairly new. I made a mental note of it because he's been at DAYS for so long. And, frankly, I was surprised.  I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll just put it here. I found it odd that it lists Ryan Lavery & Hallmark but not GH.  https://parade.com/celebrities/hallmark-movie-actor-55-stuns-fans-with-muscular-physique
