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

    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
