I totally posted this in the spoiler board. LOL. I'm so confused by how bad he is. If he came back to be himself, then why is he acting like a damn robot?

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone LOL. This is so unreal. How is this story centered around a veritable cipher in Bierdz? At least Sharon, the ultimate "center" (if you will)/ catalyst of the irrationality, chaos, and stagnant insanity, has a draw to her as well as the ability to draw others. Because of Bierdz's performance, his choice to be nonchalant and very minimalistic, Phillip doesn't seem to draw others or be drawn to others. He's just a zero; how many people will he take down with him?

And it was like two universes were colliding into one another and exploding when P3 and Cane showed up in the final scene of today's episode. It was like Bill Bell, LML, and MAB's universes collided into one, like a time-travel goof. And what was disturbing was that Goddard looked ten years younger than Bierdz and made LML and MAB's rewrite utterly ridiculous. My God, that scene should not have been done for the sake of the barely thin logic P3 explained in the hospital room LOL only moments earlier of dropping Cane into their lives as an impostor. And to know that it'll be perpetuated in Tuesday's episode will be stomach churning.

Now, nobody has mentioned this.... but did you all feast your ORBS on the SIZE of Nina's purse? HOLY CRAP, that thing is big enough for her to smuggle refugees across the border in! Soemthing tells me that bag is gonna go upside Phillip's head before the week is out.

I'm still in shock that I feel sorry for him! I've hated that character before he even stepped onto my screen with a fiery passion! I'm STUNNED that DG's made me sympathize with him in such a short amount of time.

And I have to repeat this too LOL.

When Devon walked in and saw Lily, asking her what's wrong, that reminded me of that office scene a month ago between Stafford and Morrow, when Stafford responded to a nonexistent cue from Morrow, supposedly a "decisive" cue. There was supposed to be finality in his exp​ression, but there was nothing. Yet, Stafford played off of this like the pro she is.

The same thing happened again today. Devon responded so well to a little-existent cue where Lily looked like a her goldfish died. WTF?!?! Was the red blanket Neil wrapped her in supposed to show how frail she is? Supposed to make us feel sorry for the beaten-upon little girl? Instead, I cracked up when Devon went over to her and hugged her. I guess I'm a bad, horrible mean person, but I'll take it. Especially when there were moments when she seemed to be crying as if she were back in grade school and ashamed and embarrassed because she crapped on herself in front of her entire class. Was that her motivation? Was that the only moment in CK's life that she could draw from to exhibit the anguish she felt over losing the love of her life?? I'm not saying she should've thrashed around on the floor, wailing to Jesus, her Lord and Savior for solace or anything. I'm saying show something. Morrow is the perfect example of this last week. So heartbreaking to see him open up so beautifully. So tangibly. CK remained a paper doll.

And to think she left Y&R and they actually let her back in, this waste of space!

I'm sorry to CK if she ever happens upon this board and reads this because I know as an artist, it's tough to work on something really hard and have people, like myself who know very little about the craft, crap on your work like you're worth nothing. But, seriously, CK needs some serious lessons. And she doesn't even have to work that hard. Just watch the thousands of tapes of your dear old hopefully not-dead TV mom, Victoria Rowell.

I'm really sick of her. I think NuAbby would've done better. I think Eva would've done better, yo!

All in all, it'd be best if CK just left Genoa City, go to Italy and make pretty paintings because she's sick of all the liars in her life? Lily shouldn't leave, just CK.

Thus, CKLily, I must say, free-character-smileys-192.gif

:lol:

God, this is who people wanted back? Seriously, there's nothing interesting to watch with this guy on screen. Scenes that could have been sold, no matter their ridiculous nature, by a truly great actor are coming off as ridiculous and flat thanks to Bierdz's acting.

This is all making me hate this rewrite more than I already did. You know it's bad when the actor at the center of this storyline looks like he couldn't give a f.uck or that's the way it's coming off on screen.

SORASsing really throws these shows off. P3 died before Billy was ever born. Heck, P4 is older than Dickolas. The least they can do is make him 32 and write P3 and Cane as 49, which would make Lame even more off putting.

The entire time watching, all I could think is that Bill Bell must be rolling around in his grave. His Legacy is being destroyed with every single one of these DNA twists.

I'm surprised no one is discussing the preview of Phyllis smacking Heather. That got re-wound and watched 4 more times, if only someone would stick a fork in that character, hopefully Adam. It looks to me like by this time next year the Williams will no longer be on canvas.

Enough of these psychos and re-writes, just get back to good old fashioned love and hate drama.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
