So, now Victor and Nikki have known Rafe since he was almost a baby. :rolleyes: They're really trying hard to make this retcon work.

PLEASE, end Billy and Mac already! These two actors share NO CHEMISTRY and this story was botched from the start and was being rushed.

Cane and Lily are their usual boring self.

The gaslighting story is boring me, I don't care for it anymore. It could have been so much more interesting. I love how Estella mentioned the box she brought over the other day, and they all conveniently overlook that. And um, Ashley, it you hate it so much at the Ranch and all these things are happening to you there, GO BACK TO THE ABBOTT MANSION! It's dumbing down characters like this that piss me off.

As usual, Cast, Cooper, and Walton are the shining stars of this episode, and of this entire show. The story is ridiculous and stupid, but these women can sell anything.

Oh, and Lisa Connor sucks, I was not impressed with her script and her episodes have generally been clunkers.

I thought the actress who played Estella did just fine (What's her name?) I think what was wrong with the scene was the blocking and no overlapping dialogue, and like Dee Dee said, too much CALM. I thought Yani did OK.... but he needs to step it up a bit, he needed to show more emotion, or maybe he's supposed to be the more strong, silent type? He's not really had enough to properly judge... I'm sure in a week, we'll be able to see how he does. Of course, as long as he doesn't SUCK.... he can skate by on his looks, and I'm GOOD.

Anne Betancourt.

I don't know; I'm catching up with the episodes of the previous two weeks and they are not half as bad as I thought they would be. All these comments about how it sucks prepared me for the worst, and it actually ended up being okay (not good, but okay).

And the thing is, Mike Denney directed today, and usually, that man walks on water. The scenes OTHER than the ranch looked great, and felt classic. Just the ranch living room scene seemed stilted somehow. And the scene from Friday's eppy, where Nikki screams at the baby head falling to the floor... that was missing from today's "replay" of the scene. Maybe Melody really is leaving and she was letting things slide.

Yeah, the Chancellor stuff flowed quite naturally. Hell, even Billy/Mac reminiscing had a "flow" to it.

I wonder how much of the Newman stuff was off-camera tension. CE wanted out. MTS in negotiation hell. Two fairly new Y&R actors trying to dodge the politics. And EB... just being EB. LOL!

Damn this paying job. It will be HOURS till I see this.

I think you've all diagnosed this...Engen's final days.

Yup. Yani is weak right now. I mean, his claim to fame is Hillary Duff movies. But he's young and cute, and THAT is the basis for his next part of the story. He needs to be a little clueless and opaque, no?

Well, Rafe's been around forever. He went to Walnut Grove with Mac and Billy and Raul and JT and *ugh*Brittany*ugh*. A scholarship student. I guess his aunt was working for Miguel at the time? Or was she the concierge over Miguel?

You know why this doesn't bother me? Because for YEARS under LML I had to sit around to Nick and Victoria talk bullsh!t as they made up memory after memory after memory. I was "there". None of it happened. Since domestics apparently have always been off-screen at Newman (e.g., Veronica Landers and the staff Victor fired last August), this is a small one for me to bite. Hitherto, we know there are always off-camera domestics, so they can be dragged out at any time.

SO. BAD.

I really don't understand WHY they do that to him. He has great hair in the non-Y&R pics I've seen. I know theyr'e worried he'll seem too young, but there is a middle ground between Mad Men and Grunge Model.

      My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.

      The Politics Thread

      The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
