You know what, I just watched Thursday's show, and I'm GLAD Nick/Sharon do not get a blissful reunion. Both are self-absorbed and selfish characters, who have cheated on one another multiple times. I'd rather see a bumpy and troubled reunion between them, instead of a sweet, sappy love affair. Besides that, I'm tired of the Nick Newman free pass. Nick things he can just go back to his first family, and people think they deserved a better reunion than this? HA!

Why is Y&R being compared to Melrose Place all of a sudden? Oy.

I loved Mac's hair on Friday. Her extensions are looking really good

I loved Noah calling Sharon and Nick out. It is kind of digusting how everyone cheats on this show. I think Lauren and Michael are the only married couple who havent been fooling around. Murphy/Kat and Cane/Lily dont count as they only just got married.

You know what frustrates me:

Whilst Sharon and Amber have characteristics in common they should be (as they were developed) two very different characters, within the last few months I feel as if Sharon has become Amber with better intentions. Where is the character identity?

Nick....Nick should always be a passionate character, he is also (like Sharon) prone to cheating, he is also not the most loyal now in addition he is completly selfish, nothing going for him in the parenting department anymore, stuipidER, dresses bad, and careless. I'm sorry what is left to root for again?

Neil & Devon. Oh God where to start? TPTB don't care to write them anything decent but my two cents in the absence of Dru and Malcolm Devon and Neil is the dynamic to develop, also while their at it flesh out Neil and Victor's dynamic pair Neil with someone who is not TYRA to sizzle with if even for a time being KSJ got it just find him the right fit. Give Devon a different angle to fit in with the rest of the canvas

So I don't get it is Devon too good for the FAB Four or is the FAB four too good for him? Devon's proposed stories are pathetic to say the least

So do we plan to blame all the DNA snafus on the same person(s) or should everybody just re-do any DNA related testing done in GC?

Well I think Sharon baby is going to give them problems especially if it's not Nick. I was going to say I don't think they took a DNA test yet. But seeing how DNA testing are in GC. It best if Sharon pick a name out a hat & hope she picks out Nick name.

Here's a clip from Monday's US episode. Could they be ANYMORE OBVIOUS that Mary Jane is Patti Williams? For a good while now, they've been so obvious about it, and it takes a lot of the suspese away from the storyline. This show has literally been hitting us over the head with this Mary Jane as Patti crap for a while now. It's partly writing like this that is turning me off this show.

    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
    • I don't think Lisa served a purpose after the serial killer storyline. The writers never gave her anything to do but be Vicky's nemesis. Joanna Going deserved better. Another example of a character taking over the show and then the writers not having a longterm plan for the character.  Exhibit B: Sally Spencer. Such a missed opportunity. It really angers me how they misused her. She could sing and act and they just threw her away in that sexist nonsense storyline. Once the story was over, they wrote her off. The McKinnons should have lasted for years. I will give the show credit for how they introduced Sandra Ferguson as Amanda. I thought it was expertly done. She comes in and she immediately connected to RKK's Sam. She has chemistry with Matthew and she has realistic conversations with MAc and Rachel. That's how it is done.
