It's a Billy party just about every time he's onscreen. Poor Billy, what a burden he faces, he's so misunderstood, and so on.

I really wish they wouldn't bring Hope up. They didn't bring her up when Adam was going around terrorizing people, to suddenly have some unknown woman do a voiceover of Hope when they want us to pity Adam (right before he commits some other crime, I'm sure), it seems cheap to me.

Michael Muhney's scene at the end was very good, almost haunting in a way. The way he walked up the stairs, falling to his knees, and seeing the tears running down his face was really good. You can almost feel what he was feeling, that he knew he had become a monster. He'd become someone that his mother would be absolutely mortified at and he knew it. Great job from MM. I don't even think CE could've pulled this off.

I think he stole actual ashes. The urn said "Baby Doe" on it. That implies, to me, that the mortician was storing actual ashes in the glass case in his office.

I agree here. Muhney summoned real emotion. We saw Engen try to cry once...and it was abominable, fake, and dry-eyed. Lastly, Adam's recognition of his evil was carefully constructed to prove to us that he is not a sociopath. Sociopaths don't feel remorse. Thus, this is our signal that there is something decent inside that can still be rescued, and that can make amends.

Likely. But I can't stop hoping.

Well, scratch that. I've actually pretty much given up hoping where the Fishwins and Scoobies are involved. At this point, I'm ready for them all to -- err -- jump in a lake. (But Lauren can live. Sadly, her Darren Stephens husband probably shouldn't).

I've given up hope that the writers are going to give us ANYTHING regarding Adam's motivations. In order for me to give two shits about him, I need to see that and his remorse over what he's done. Showing him every couple of months saying "What have I become?!?!?" and then turning around the next scene doing something dasterdly is not letting us see his remorse or struggle against his inner demons. We should have definitely seen some remorse after he burned Ashley's fetus. But did we? Nope.

So why is Adam so [!@#$%^&*] crazy all of a sudden? Because Victor prosecuted him for forging the diary? Because Victor wasn't "there for him" in his formative years? Because Victor had him blacklisted and he couldn't find a job after getting booted from Newman? Because he ain't getting any poon-tang? Because his hands have too many callouses from beatin off all day? WHAT????

That's my main beef with Adam. This story could have been so much better had we known what's going on in his sick little mind.

OMG!!!! Today's show is a MUST SEE!!!!! I'm still crying from it. And the end was the BEST, what a beautiful song to play over the balloon release, and I am STUNNED and so pleasantly surprsied that they had BETH SING IT!!!! It's the best Friday ending ALL YEAR. Kudos to Braeden for his Seizure performance. It CREEPED ME OUT, the man is good, there's just no getting around it. Luckinbill and Heinle, the Captain and Tennille of Y&R (Although BOTH have the screen presence of Daryl Dragon) provided the only low points today. I LOVED Jack mentioning the flowers from Dina... and his comment... "Typical!" and they even mentioned that one arrangement was from Mamie. Great nods to history today, and Beth was heartbreaking as usual, I'm astounded more and more with her masterful and realistic perfromances. Her and Steve breaking down when Daniel presented them with the drawing was heart wrenching for me. What a nice gesture.

    • 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.
