They really need to keep Mac and Billy apart, I've never seen two actors as chemistry-less with this "destiny-type" writing as these two. Those scenes at the Crimson Lights today were so flat and forced. It's time Billy and Mac got over their first loves, or just recast Mac with someone who has better chemistry with Billy Miller. I don't think Clem is as bad as some do, and I think she's playing the part as written, but if they intend to go though with this Mac/Billy thing, she's got to go.

Boy do I love seeing Victor just lost! With Victor's ego, wouldn't he think that his son could be just as ruthless and cunningly intelligent as he is? LOL!

I guess I'll never get my telenovolla moment from Estella. Although from what I hear, when they shot these scenes it was beyond intense with Engen being a KING-douche to everyone.

Definitely looks like Kay is in on everything. She has zero emotion. Jill and Nina are going crazy and she's talking about stolen corpses like Sunday tea. Why does it always have to be that Kay is the culprit?? But it makes sense I guess. it just makes Kay look even more horrible. Perhaps she made up the "switch" and it never really happened?

I'm totally with you on this one, Cashton. Uncharacteristic though some might think it is, it's highly entertaining to watch Victor not know his ass from his elbow right now.

Plus, Victor won't give a damn about "who the gaslighter is" once he finds out his unborn child is dead. All these hoops Adam is jumping through won't mean SQUAT.

This version of Mac is as crappy as the other ones. I hate how CF played her today. And the dialogue/plot didn't help either. Mac wouldn't give a damn about dancing. She'd go like, 'i can't dance, so what?'. I know, it's a small detail, but it tells you a lot. I also hate that these characters are trapped in their isolated storylines. Maybe the reason why we cannot see the love between Billy & Mac is that they have no personality beside their highschool memories and their current triangle with Chloe. It would probably be different if we could see Mac interacting with Kay, Jill and Nina about this P3 debacle. And the same goes for Billy. It's his brother we're talking about. The one he never met. If we could see these layers to their personalities maybe we could accept their supposed 'love'.

Where did you hear it?

I don't think Kay knows anything. But I know what you guys mean. Heck, as far as I am concerned, she didn't look shocked on Phillip's deathbed either! Actually, both she and JW weren't at their best in that scene IMHO.

I love Estella, I hope she'll be around.

I know what you mean. I used this three day weekend to catch up on Y&R. Now I only have last week to see. But seeing all the YR hate made me wonder what happened that was so bad. And I keep watching and I am still very much entertained.

Sure, I hate the Devon storyline and the art storyline isn't the best (although, as bad as it is, I kinda have no clue where they will take it from here, so I'm KINDA excited about it... It's still pretty bad, because it's full of holes).

But I still love my Y&R. And I just ADORE Engen as Adam and I am so sad that he's leaving. I LOVE MJB! I don't mind all the crazies.

I agree that Ford and Miller have no chem, so as much as I loved Billy and Mac, I would totally be fine if they don't go there.

Unless Mary Jane and Adam arrange to quietly provide him with Sharon's living unborn child. Then TGVN need never know... (Yes, I'm still channeling this, though I know it will never happen).

ETA: ANTI-BRITTANY HODGES VOTE! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....
