I agree with you there. I think they were on the right track when Phylis was about to blow up her own marriage and happiness. That's the perfect way for Phick to end, because I think most of us agree that Nick has never even met the real Phyllis. When and if he ever does he won't be able to handle it, no way. It's definitely time to break them up,imo. I'd rather see Phylis and Nick both with new people. Nick and Heather would be hot and it would piss off Victor and possibly Adam. Maybe Nick and Amber have an affair, I don't know, there have to be some fresh possibilities out there.

I like Sharon Case. She makes me like and root for Sharon Newmen more than I ever would normally. Sharon Newman is the Liz Webber (GH character) of Genoa City and I hate that character more than I can express. Somehow Sharon Case manages to create sympathy for her character and make her actions believable even in the most unbelievable circumstances. Last I knew SC still wants Nick and Sharon back together, but I actually hope she gets something different and better.

And Nelson Branco.

Eyal Podell was/is a good actor, but unfortunately he was brought on by the worst writing regime in Y&R history as part of the second-worst storyline in Y&R history and paired with one of the dullest actresses in Y&R history. I would like to see him on B&B if it wasn't already bloated.

I prefer Phick to Shick too and I don't think Phick is going anywhere anytime soon - though they will have their bumps. I am expecting them to have a whole "new entry door"! :) Frankly I don't have a problem with Joshua comments about Michelle, it is what he personally prefers, there's nothing wrong with that. I think it came off like that because of the length of time he has been paired with SC but he has also been good friends with Michelle probably just as long so I can see why his comments were the way they were. Irregardless of what he feels he still has to play whatever is written. I think Joshua is just tired of the same sort of s/l that they always do for Shick (as I am tired of it too). Nothing ever changes. I mean seriously Nick needs to turn in his "knight gear" and euphanize the "white horse" when it comes to Sharon LOL!! Hopefully that is coming up in the near future. Let her majorly screw up, pull up her big girl panties and deal with it like an ADULT instead of a rebellious teenager. Geez, even her Mom and her own son..never mind!!!

The very fact that these new writers came in and only highlighted the good parts of their entire relationship and acted as if their marriage was all good until Cassie died tells me all I need to know and no one in charge buys it. It would have been nice and believable to watch the writing actually delve into why they were so dysfunctional but we can't destroy the "image".

Anyway I am enjoying the obvious replay of Sharon's history right from Doris,the psychiatrist telling her she got pregnant deliberately ,losing it, now we are onto the inappropriate Newman relationship..history is repeating itself. I am having a deja vu moment. Hopefully somewhere down the road we will get to see the stronger Sharon that these "writers" said we would see, but right now, I can barely stand watching her. I am not a big Sharon fan but even for me this Adam thing is a bit much.

It was so nice to see the nice and tidy Sunnydale dump again. I half expected to see Spike come strolling by with his shopping cart. But why wasn't Phyllis wearing gloves? It's not like a pair of rubber ones would add so much to the wardrobe budget.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
