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.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
