Woah! What an ending! I so didn't expect P3 to show up at the end. I'm so glad I wasn't spoiled for that. I just don't understand reading spoilers because you ruin such a crucial part of watching television - the element of surprise. I will never understand it.

I thought the reveal could've been better, could've been a lot more soapy. And I thought Cane gave up way to easily. Anyway, I'm looking forward to see what happens in Monday's US episode - will be watching that shortly. :D

And speaking of spoilers, starting next week, I'll be able to monitor this thread more closely, so I will be bouncing any spoilers to a different thread - since I won't be reading the spoilers, obviously, it will probably go into a Spoiler-Potpourri thread in DTS: SI. I'm so sick of seeing spoiler tags in here - there's no excuse for talking about something that's going to happen weeks later in an Episode Thread. :)

That's not what I'm saying. I wish Y&R could be spectacular all year round. But the reality is that Summer is a dead time for television. I doubt the execs care much right now, which is why from October on it's due or die time for DAYS (so they say), hence the big casting names. I'm not saying this is an excuse for bad writing, but I'm so consumed with other things that I don't care much what happens and my viewing habits decrease (as long as it's nothing too drastic, hence why I don't mind the stupid Scoobies).

Without even watching today's U.S. show I already know that MAB dropped the ball on this reveal, just from the previews alone. It felt too rushed. I am interested to see how the rest of it plays out though.

    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      look who’s at a party I’m at
    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!
