So, I'm hoping we get to see some excitement with Rafe/Adam this week, and of course, waiting with baited breath for the next installement of Kay/Jill/Nina. I think there should be alot of buildup this week, I bet we'll have one hell of a Friday cliffhanger.

I won't spoil it here, but yeah - the build to the holiday weekend next week is a great one. Cliffhangers all around. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this week turns out in both the Summer/Quad/MJ story, and the Nina/Cane/Jill/Kay/Phillip story.

Ok, almost time for the new week of Y&R and I'm still grossed out by what they showed on Friday.

No, not Adam hitting on Rafe--that's no big deal. I'm talking about Mary Jane being so willing to eat something she dug out of the trash. God only knows what else was thrown away in there. After all, we've seen what goes on in those offices at night...

LOL.

Harming a child is pretty much the kiss of death on soaps. So I am worried about the baby-killer (Adam) and child-poisoner (Mary Jane). The child-burner (Gloria) never was able to claw her way back into the hearts of most of the viewership either....nor was her pedophile son (Kevin).

Your'e tellin me! Your'e the first I've seen mention it, but that was on my mind, too! She's just NASTY. Who knows what's been in that trash, I guess there won't be any used condoms, since Nick never seems to use any. But you never know... I was totally grossed out, too.

MY EYES!! MY EYES!!!

I am still a few episodes behind, but I am slowly catching up. I will be sad to see Engen go. But I am still looking forward to Adam storyline. But currently my favorite storyline is Jill/Kay/Nina/Philip III! LOVE IT so far and judging by the spoilers, I will continue to enjoy it.

Hopefully this week is a good one!

So, Adam

I don't know if I'm disgusted by this, or excited because, if you look at it from the "scheming straight man" perspective, Adam's actions seem like what one would do. Not that there's much realism in this whole storyline :lol:

There is a lot to look forward to this week IMO.

The "new" Adam (MM's version) and his machinations are very must-see for me, regardless of how the story is being told over-all. This manipulation of Rafe to protect his ass will, I believe, come back to haunt him. Whose to say that Rafe isn't on to what Adam is doing? There must be someone that Adam's game plan that has his number, besides Nikki (who planted the seed of doubt in Rafe in the first place).

Nina/TC as been great in the Phillip story so I hope to see more of that this week. It was kinda backburnered during the latter part of last week, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. And I'll get to see "Coop" again when Phil IV arrives. I'm a little leary of what the spoilers are saying for the reasons for his running off, though. Kinda hoping that some of them aren't true, but if it does turn out that's the reason for his leaving GC, I'll roll with it.

Lastly, I've been thinking alot about the controversy with what Adam did with Ashley's baby. I wonder if it comes to pass that Ashley didn't miscarry at all and what Adam saw was just spotting. Normal in a pregnancy. Regarding the good Doctor in all this, he simply told Adam a lie and knows that the baby is fine. Hence his seemingly calm attitude about Ashley's condition. I wonder.....

Anyway. A lot of stuff happenin this week and I'm anxious to see where it goes....

Does Nadam always walk like that or is he acting the part?

I am finding Sharon less and less redeemable. The games she is playing with people's lives and the lives of her children does not make her qualified to look after fish, let alone a baby. Phyllis lost custody of Daniel for doing exactly the same thing and I hope history on Y&R is going to repeat itself.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
