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.

    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!
