I can see where people could enjoy the story. Only speaking for myself, I'm sorry that they've slighted Jill's losses. They didn't spend very much time showing her try to deal with Kay not being her mother. She's lost her money and power, which is what she has used for years as a shield. Imagine if Victor lost his fortune, his identity. They wouldn't have us laugh at him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Jill has a story. The story is basically true to her character and that's good. I know they need a lighthearted contrast to the heavy story about Cane/Phillip. I did love the Jill/Kay/Nina scenes. I'm not trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'm only saying I wish they would do more to explore, from Jill's point of view, in a serious manner, what she has lost, and her struggles to regain her identity.

I don't think MAB is worse than LML only because LML seemed more disillusioned imo. MAB needs a good balance to all the negatives of her approach. There have been times under her that the show has been really good and to make it excellent she needs better balance. What is being highlighted at this point is the negatives of the show, there are fixes to be made but I don't necessarily think SHE IS THE WORSE thing for Y&R I just believe she needs better help

She's more Vicky than AH is. Heather Tom is the first & best choice but if that ain't happening, something must be done. Among the many reasons I'm unhappy about CE leaving is that outside of Heather Tom, he's the only Victor kid to actually have serious chemistry with EB. Josh Morrow/EB aren't bad together but not special and AH/EB are just flat together. Even if MM does have chemistry with EB, the show is missing something by not having that dynamic Victor/Victoria connection. There's something inherently great about sexist Victor coming to terms with a daughter who can stand her ground against him. If we can't have HT, we need someone who can hold her own and even challenge EB. I bet Martha Byrne would be more than up for the challenge.

    •     I don't think Neil Wade died in an automobile accident. I think he died of an embolism. Unless he was driving at the time and it caused him to crash. Jeff was the only husband she had who died in a car accident.

      The 50s and 60s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type. The 80s and 90s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type.   I understand the nostalgia and enjoying a certain type of storytelling that was popular when growing up/being 20, 30 yrs old. That's why I watch TV series from the 70s and 80s and not as much current television. But I understand that people's attention spans have changed and therefore storytelling has changed and everything has gotten more expensive and there are more and more projects competing for eyeballs and the big flashy stuff is what makes people look up from their phones 5 seconds before going back to them.  We can never go back to before.

      date: Monday, June 9 | Teresa Zimmerman, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford YAY! Caroline is back in action at the law offices. I adore Caroline! She is a woman of business, and she handles her business quite well. Could this be the chance for Tomas to move ahead at Bill Hamilton Esq.? Madison is doing the usual tests for strokes: smiling, holding out the hands, etc., but I do wonder if she'll have him touch the tip of her finger and then the tip of his nose. That one is not easy at all. Trust me, I know! It's about time Derek becomes useful: helping to take down Dana by witnessing her interrogation of Ashley at Orphey Gene's. Oh, Nicole is showing up to question Eva, re: her interactions with Laura. This will either be a bitchfest or it'll be a heartfelt one. Cantankerous? Yes, Ashley! Call it like you see it! Is Tomas working with Katherine to set up Dana? I pray he is!! Child bride needs to calm her ass down; now she's hugging Naomi as if they're besties again? This isn't your "get out of jail" card, sweetheart. The weight that I am sure is now lifted from Eva's shoulders with Nicole accepting her apology? I love that for her. And I am sure, deep down, it helps Nicole to accept and hear it, as well. Dani showing up for Bill and their children? That's love right there, and you can tell how much it not only means for Bill but might also be reminding him of why he fell in love with her. Watch out, child bride; your time might be up by mid-summer! Katherine, you are sneaky... but I do have this sneaking suspicion this is going to blow up right back into your face before you know it. The awkward face-to-face with Chelsea and Madison. Dani introducing herself as "the first wife" is hilarious. I love it. Chelsea and Madison openly flirting in the hospital by the elevator is super cute!! Notes: Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) continues to serve up the right amount of camp for American daytime. She's almost too good for daytime. I appreciate the new viewpoint of the outside of Dana's apartment. Nice that we can get these viewpoints that other soaps wouldn't dare to explore. Tide is seen in the scene; Tide commercials air right after. Today's jacket on Alex Alegria (Tomas) fits better than the past few he's worn. Hoping this trend continues.
