Excellent post, in fact, I said the same thing yesterday about Khalil!

I could deal with Cane if I didn't have to suffer CK's portrayal of Lily, nauseating indeed!

I'm really liking Mac with Raul but I still hate what they've done to the Billy character by having him so suddenly sniffing after Mac like a lost puppy dog.

You gotta give the show credit for scripting Billy's WORST DAY EVER.

Raul's back and involved with Mac.

Jack RIPS HIM A NEW ONE for shagging Sharon.

he might be having another little one, and he can't even both to respond to the tears of his first one.

Then, Mac and Raul are ENGAGED.

Finally, Chloe has left him.

Miller REALLY delivered, especially in that scene with Bergman. You could see how Bergman's feeding him the moist eyes enabled Miller to feel all that hurt and disappointment and give it back. AMAZING.

My one regret in this beat of the story is that I don't feel the "guy-love" or "bro-mance" that Billy and Raul used to have. I realize that's because he came right to town and "stole" the love of Billy's life...but I would have liked to feel Billy's love for both Mac AND Raul...making this even harder for him.

In other words, "I hate that he stole my girl, but I am overjoyed that the best friend I ever had has found love".

I hope they develop this part of it. I think they should be able to script and play the duality of Billy's jealousy and his affection for his friend.

I love it as well. The show was really good today but either I missed something or the script writing/breakdown writing was choppy. The scenes didnt flow like they should have. I could have just been my imagination.

The only bad stuff was Lily and Cane. They are so boring. Can Lily be anymore annoying. Geesh

CKLily is being unfairly bashed. She was convincing as the airhead bride on her honeymoon. There is not much more to the character and that is not her fault.

I feel like the boobs police. Y&R wardrobe has got help CF pick out a properly fitted bra. MS's boobs were also flaying around. At their age, gravity is not kind to loose breasts and they should know this fact.

Raul!!! He has transformed Mackenzie. He is rainbows and sunshine and puppies!!!

When Adam was hiding under Ashley's bed, for a moment there I was afraid that Victor & Ashley were gonna get it on!!! :blink: Would have served Adam right.

Poor Jack! Stupid Billy! Just for karma's sake, I wish the baby was Billy's and he was stuck raising both kids by himself. That would be hilarious.

I agree with this. CK plays it the way the director wants her too. CK has stated in numerous interviews that she wants Lily to have more balls (her words, not mine). I think she is just as frustrated as we are.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
