Is Daisy going to be this generations Britney Hodges? Mark will be so thrilled.

Delia was cute as a football, but Reed was cuter as a pirate.

I can't believe that they had Jack say he doesn't regret doing the fake diary scheme. Is this the writers way of saying don't hate that storyline?

Billy getting Victoria was good. I loved the look on Billy's face when Victoria slapped him. Nick being upset about Billy exposing Vicki's affair I can believe more than him being upset about Victor.

I can't believe phick would go to Sharon's house.

I thougth that this was part of Amelia's maternity leave and she would join him later. When they come back they will be in a story will Deacon. I don't know if that's true so don't take my word for it.

Those Halloween costumes were terrible! How is it that AMC even managed to do a better job? It's hard looking at Y&R and thinking it's the #1 soap. Forget the writing, the production is so dull! It's turned into JFP's GH. For years she was praised while the show was in the dumps and the production was drab and dark. Now she's finally improved, but dayum was that show ugly for a few years. Now Paul Rauch is being overly praised and the show looks a mess. I'm sure no one will call him on it and he'll outlast MAB.

The thing with Paul Rauch is none of his shows have ever had good production values. Vee has said this better than I could, but they really haven't. It's just bright, white light. He did supersize the sets on GL, which was different, I guess, but every time anyone went to the diner or to the new courthouse, they always looked like they'd shrunk a few inches.

Today's epi

When JT asked Victoria why she slept w/Deaon I wanted to scream cause it was plot driven dribble.

I've decided I don't like the Ashley character much, Love Eileen but I don't know Ashley is Hopeless almost like Adam is (pun intended) . Infact I will always like Nikki as long as Ashley is on canvas cause I expect the zingers to go floating in her direction.The Jack/Victor scenes were nice since these are the only characters they give brains or wit these days. I see Mac will eventually fall into the Sharon/ Ashley category, flawed victim with good intentions (give these women brains please). Where is Phyllis? I do not recognize her even when I see her?So Neil or Devon didn't want any parts of saying good riddance to Victor or going to the Halloween party? Umm today I ffwed JT and Victoria and Ashley and Victor Gosh Ashley is a college educated bubble head. Where did Daisy come from that scene was extremely random. Loved Jack's gloating confession but I feel I am getting ready to see them write him in a corner upon EB's eventual return

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
