Adam's not gay goddammit. It was somewhat pathetic for people to expect so much of this s/l when the actual gay character is a plot point who, if he just never showed up in Genoa City again without an explanation, wouldn't be missed.

P3 is a waste of space.

This is gonna be odd coming from me but...

Trying to hang onto a GLIMMER of hope here:

"At this point, we are not doing a gay story, and we never actually were doing a gay story," says co-head writer Scott Hamner.

I know this is the quote. But in what context was that quote. If the Adam/Rafe SL is what was being discussed at the time, is it possible that quote is ONLY referring to Adam/Rafe? I want to be SURE that this is not one sentence taken out of context and misconstrued.

What murky waters?

Those murky waters weren't filled with gay boys, flamboyant or otherwise.

They were filled with a sociopath who burned a fetus, poked his eyes to become blind, dressed as a dead woman in a wig and a bloody dress, and, oh, and in a swift move, made TGVN look like a [!@#$%^&*] retard.

Those gay boys weren't polluting the water, TIIC were.

[!@#$%^&*]... INGRATES!

This is exactly like George Bush. Someone needs to step up and tell the audience: I'm sorry for disrespecting you over the past few months with this meandering, pointless, "shocking" drivel. We will work harder to improve Y&R for 2010 and if you don't like us, we will step down and let someone run the show so that we don't, effectively and completely, run it into the ground.

The interesting thing about life is that no matter how much someone lies, eventually the truth comes out about them. MAB is a proven liar. And it's bullshit at this point for Vee or anyone at this point to attack Engen. These are the fact -- We have absolute proof that MAB is a liar. We have no proof that Engen is a liar. To the contrary, ED & EB confirmed that Engen had long been unhappy and that he quit because of the extremely evil nature of Adam (even though they disagreed with CE's choice). For people to continue to call CE a homophobe when there is no solid evidence is very unfair. MAB is clearly a liar and beyotch for sullying someone's reputation like that. Let's remember that MAB also tried to cheat Nia Peeples out of her contract. MAB has shown herself to be a person who lies and cheats and defames. I have no idea if Engen is a good or bad person, but there is no evidence that he is a liar or a homophobe. The bad guy here is MAB, aided and abetted by her flying monkey writers and that dolt Branco.

MAB pimped out TB, MM and YG to the gay media. The show promised a gay story. She promised a gay story. I admit that I didn't expect much for P3 and Rafe. I figured they would have a back-burned romance with only a few scenes a month. That MAB isn't even willing to throw the fans crumbs after exploiting the gay media like that is disgusting. She's not just a bad writer, she honestly seems like a bad person. SHAME ON MAB!!!

Is it just me or is this just like how Y&R started to do a gay story back in the '70s and backpedaled? Is daytime THAT conservative now? The answer is no, since nearly every other frigging show is doing or has done a gay story.

    • @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.
