Your'e tellin me!!! what an unmitigated train wreck that girl is. Is Rauch in the men's room taking a dump when this girl is shooting her scenes? Can't he push her in any way... give her some guidance, direction, SOMETHING. Anf the sad part is... it was all unneccesary. Just CONSIDER how moving and heart rending alot of this stuff in the last few weeks would have been with litte Darcy Rose Byrnes playing it. As young as that child is, she was MILES ahead of Erin (Isn't Darcy about 11 or so by now?) during Traci's decision making scenes with the transplant, think how much more poignant Traci's decision would have been if we had little Darcy do some big "Please don't let my daddy die!" scene?

True. His birth name was Christian Miller, wasn't it. LOL at the christian part.

Stories on Y&R I am looking forward to:

-Adam vs. Michael. Finally a rivalry with some TEETH.

-JT finally getting something to do.

-Billy, Mac, Chloe and Chance. Can't help it, I like 'em.

-Neil overseeing Jill overseeing Jack at Jabot. Please let there be a viable business SL on the way!

-Ashley: is she nuts or is she the only person on this show talking sense?

-Ryder. Yes, I'm biased because I like the actor. I'm trying to ignore That Spumor and focus instead on who is Ryder's mother (it must be somebody we already know!) and why is he doing this?

Jill & Jack again, definitly not sure how involved they'll make Neil.

I already know Ashley is just going to regress I just hope they don't make us wait a long time to go through it again or make us wait a short time and then drag out her regression.

Ryder , I am curious to see how much more they are going to throw Phyllis in the loop

Chance , Chloe, Mac, Billy not really liking any of these characters in their current state (still like th eidea of them overall). I like Chance and Chloe a bit as a couple I guess

Today's Epi (minus Abby) wasn't that bad. I think the writers acknowledged that this Victor Tabloid thing isn't that big of deal by way of the dialogue between Kevin and Mac. Even though the very fact that they are still characters on canvas is upsetting I think between last year and now the show have really come a long way with toning down the show from being too much of the Gloria show, they even spared us much of her foolish plotting with Michael (though I could have been spared more but I managed to ignore what-ever else was taking place between the character). Loved Lauren today something about her stood out. Victor really knows Nikki's price doesn't he? Abby needs to be sent away to boarding school and return with a better actress in the role ala Victoria/HT style

I'm happy to see less Gloria but I'm not sure if the people who took her place are a lot better. I still think if they are going to keep her there are better places to go than these stupid money stories that always have the same ending. She is constantly chasing her own tail.

What probably stood out about Lauren is TB is very professional and always gives her best to her scenes.

I wish they hadn't had the entire Newman family, Mackenzie, and Ashley get the vapors about the tabloid. That really undercut any attempt at ambiguity. Ashley in particular looked like a fool, because she knew how Billy felt about Victor when she gave him that money. That whole "father of my children!" line made me cringe.

A 14-year old watching with me today said "Why doesn't Gloria just get a job?". LOL.

There was a nice sprinkling of humor today...from Jana and Lauren's attitudes...to all the foo-fa-rah about the moustache twirling article...to the Fishwins in the hall.

Rafe would be the logical person to fight for Gloria and Jeff, since he has a bone to pick with the Newmans. He should also sue on behalf of his aunt Estella.

Noah remains the find of the decade, and I wish they'd sign him to a contract and make him front burner.

I like that Nick might take the building from Billy. I hope we can find a new purpose for it! I don't want to lose that set. Where will Billy do his magazine? Jimmy's??

Hayley Erin...I wish the show could seriously take a protege of Mark Teschner's, at least for casting the young roles.

I wish Ryder weren't conspiring with someone on the phone. I don't want to another "dark turn".

What will Sharon do now? I really want her to have productive activity. I very much liked the scene of Ashley and Sharon converging to attack Billy at the same time.

The Kevin-Mac conversation was nice, and wish they'd remember that friendship more. If Ryder ever takes a dark turn (which I'd prefer he didn't), I'd prefer he took it with Jana. I like Jana a lot, but a free-and-angry Kevin has more interest value to me.

I have not been missing Lily-Cane AT ALL.

Mark, you have such a polite way of saying you want Jana to be murdered!

As for Sharon,

They can make the set into a male strip club, this show's version of Fusion's stripper poles. If the guys are going to act like cavemen so often we should at least see them wear as little as most cavemen wore. This show has a lot of hot bodies but not a lot of sexual heat.

I do think Billy Miller has looked more attractive lately. Less red-faced and in better colors. I can get the appeal more now.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
