We don't even have a corporate aspect on Y&R anymore, that's totally been canceled by this writing regime. And I'm sorry, Restless Sh!t, I mean Style doesn't count. Then again, not like Lauren matters much to anyone on this writing team anymore.

As for tomorrow's US episode. JUST WHAT I EXPECTED,

How lame and overexposed...

I think all Chance needs is a few notes of explanation.

1. Katherine telling Jill how she pulled strings at the GCPD when he was going to interview for beat cop to get him the job of detective. After the way Kay was arrested and treated when they thought she was Marge, I could see someone in an electable office being willing to kiss her ass six ways from Sunday in order for her not to campaign against him/her.

2. a) Chance saw Nina always using sex to get a man and it made him very repulsed by women who chase him. He wants to be the chaser and prior to meeting Chloe, hadn't met an intriguing/challenging woman,

B ) doesn't want to admit he is wearing a chastity belt and Nina has the keys.

c) Chance is a hypochondriac and heard that all the STDs going around out there are nasty and doesn't want to get one. Although, bobbing for apples, one of the most germ spreading things out there is contrary to that. Especially with all the fear of H1N1, all bobbing for apples has probably been stopped.

I liked the Sharon and Phyllis scenes. Hopefully this is the end of them fighting over Nick. What I want to see is Phyllis fighting with Victor. She should sue him for the damage he has caused. Sharon should be paired with JT or Adam. She likes Victoria's men and Nick's family members.

Why was Sharon released from a psych hospital? The death of a child is the cure for insanity?

Will we ever see Patty again or was SH booted at the 26th week mark? I'd like for some "brilliant" psychiatrist to pronounce her cured so she can come back as a long term lit fuse character.

My main beef with the Scoobies is that they never learn and grow as characters. If I plotted and schemed 100 times and got 100 failures and jail as a result, I would take up working for a living.

How is Amber poor? When Katherine died, the book they wrote became a best seller. Wasn't her magic jacket flying off the Fenmore shelves? She should have been able to live well for years, unless she put it all into the stock market, maybe Forrester Creations, lol.

While you mean these in gest, for me they highlight how little it would take to fix some of these Chance problems.

I'd love to see Sharon & JT. Very much! That would be amazing drama, actually. I'd prefer to reserve Adam for Ashley.

LMAO at the bolded part!

I actually think the character needs to be rested. But, for example, I wish we'd see her recovery. I wish Paul could be part of that. I wish Mary could be part of that.

Brilliant! Amazing line!

Thank you for saying this! Exactly! Why are they suddenly broke? It makes no sense. Poor plot nonsense. There was an abrupt shift with the Scoobies' motivation today...and it makes no sense. Suddenly poor? Suddenly greedy again? What an unnecessary regression....

I'm so over the Scobby set of characters, but their "regression" is on par with the overall trend of the show. I should be over the nonsense of this writing regime, especially with this particular group of characters, but really this lack of respect for continuity and even story this writing regime itself created is horrible and truly baffling.

My biggest continuity problem is with Ashley's gaslighting. One day its Estella, then it's Patty, then it's Estella again. Does she think they were working together or did one of their script writers miss the episode where Adam framed Patty and still thinks they are blaming Estella? Shouldn't the producers catch that in the taping?

Big no to Adam and Ashley. He has basically raped her for the past 6 months. Emotionally with all the torture and causing her to miscarry. And physically when he bathed up her post miscarriage lady parts and then got to see them again while pretending to deliver her baby. IMO that is sexual molestation/assault. The last thing I need is love and romance between the two. Unless Ashley goes to make love to Adam, has a sudden remembrance to what really happened the night of her miscarriage grabs a big knife and puts an end to this creepshow. Of course she should get off with a short amount of time in the psych ward or absolutely scott free. Even better still if Adam isn't dead but in a coma until this show gets some real writers who can find a way to give Adam some motivation that would return him to being an interesting character instead of a one note psycho.

On today's Canadian when Adam remembered Hope and cried on the stairs it did not garner any of my sympathy. As a viewer I can sometimes root for the most despicable characters, if they have a motive for their actions. But the writers have not said what Adam's motive is, probably because they haven't figured it out yet.

Dark just for the sake of dark, not for any real drama, often falls flat. That's the reason why most of this story falls flat. Adam pulls stunts for no other reason than shock value. We get a sexual predator gyno examining Ashley for no reason other than to shock us. A fake gay relationship. Then they have some half-assed remorse that he doesn't even seem to really believe, all to try to manipulate viewers into caring. This also further takes Ashley away from having any characterization of her own and simply being something for the Newman men to paw.

I don't really see any chemistry between Muhney and Davidson.

I mean I suppose we disagree the most intesting thing about Jefferey Todd character to me was always his dynamic with Colleen, I'm sleeping halfway through his marriage with Snoreboria they couldn't have had two of the least intriguing people hook up and I just don't see with him and Sharon. I honestly don't care about Sharon Pining for Nick either but I'm not interested in her and JT

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
