Forcing myself to watch this weeks Y&R and did anyone notice on on 11/11 the scenes with Phyliss and Daniel some were on film and some were on tape?

I am at the point now I watch Y&R out of habit. I find myself being forced to watch it. I DVR OLTL, DAYS, and Y&R and when I do my marathons on the weekend, Y&R is always LAST. I get so depressed before I start watching.

I noticed EXACTLY what you are mentioning...but it wasn't film. I don't even think it was intentional film-look.

The camera that was faced toward the left of Daniel's apartment set was doing something funny. That's the camera from which you could see the door. For some scenes, Amber was in that camera. For others, Phyllis was in that camera. Throughout that episode, shots from that camera had some kind of film-look.

I think the camera must have been defective. Somehow the shutter speed or f-stop was off (I'm ignorant about how,e xactly, filmlook is achieved).

I would be open to Y&R adopting a filmlook in general. They did it, experimental, last year for one episode JUST before they went to the LA Museum of Modern Art (and wasn't the museum visit filmed in film-look??...I can't remember).

ETA, I noticed it twice. I noticed this filmlook on the over-the-air HD broadcast, recorded from my cable DVR and watched on my LCD TV. I also noticed it on the CBS-online stream on my computer. So this wasn't specific to a particular transmission.

Like everyone said the final scene of Y&R was great.( Just did my Y&R marathon) I was just about to pull Y&R off my DVR list until the cliffhanger. I can't wait to see who this is.

I like Ryder and think he has potential.

I honestly Love the dynamic of Billiy's and Mac's relationship.

I love the actress that plays Emily/Patti but thinks it's sick if she considers a romance with Jack

This week sure has been boring though.

I'm not impressed by this mystery person. For one thing, this show doesn't need yet another morally bankrupt character, it doesn't need more castmembers, and every storyline the Scobbies have been involved in thus far has been disastrous.

As Paul Raven mentioned, often the mysteries with this horrible writing regime start off on a good note, but the execution, longterm plotting, and follow through are so bad that nothing is worth investing in anymore. Maybe that won't be the case now, but I'm not hopeful.

God, this show lacks direction in every sense of the word...

Gotta love screw loose Phyllis giving Jack the third degree about dating Patty's psychiatrist. It wasn't that long ago that Phyllis was trashing hotel rooms. Too bad Maria forgot about that too. The only good Phyllis is a batsh*t crazy one.

The music cue they used during that pathetic tag is really good.

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

      I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.
