Y&R: Episode discussion, week of January 4

As for Michael and Lauren, their story is really dragging, but at least it is good to see a couple who actually genuinely enjoys each others company without hidden agendas. They just work so seemlessly as a couple and kudos to Tracey Bregman for looking so good while working on crutches and with a broken foot. Plus, I loved her new snazzy office and wish they made the new set for the purpose of showing Lauren more in business mode again, but it is probably for this Daisy/Ryder/Mama Bear plot. I would love to see Lauren mentoring Chloe now that Chloe is out of work.

I thought of you when I saw the set. I like it a lot. At first I hoped it meant we were moving out of the boutique and seeing Lauren as she was meant to be (CEO of Fenmore's chain)...but I'll accept some weird twist story where the CEO of a major national corporation works solo -- without a head office -- in the ground floor of the Jabot building.

I view the building of that office as a vote-of-confidence in future story for Lauren.

The actress who plays Daisy has to be short term. She just is not very good and seems creepy hanging around Lauren and Michael so much. I think they may want to keep Ryder around though so I can see him, in the end, protecting Kevin and his extended family, and being integrated into the Fisher-Baldwin.

I agree totally.

Daisy was always under contract.

Too bad
