Well I know 2008-early 2009 under her, wasn't too bad....It all began to go to hell when Colleen got shot and Victor got her heart leading to Braeden's leaving for 2 months......I honestly still think that's when Victor became the horrible monster he still is now, though a part of me wants to say he was worse under her regime.....maybe it's the whole throwing Diane off the ambulance and keeping Billy from Delia that still haunts me though, hiring a double Yack seems worse, yet Victor hasn't been grating my nerves too badly since the Adam reveal...oh and the constant scenes of Katherine kissing Victor's ass amidst all that terror still creeps me out forever....to the point where if Katherine were still around now with Pratt (which is probably a good thing she isn't I hate to say) I feel like they wouldn't have done the Marco story at all just cause realistically something like that would make Katherine wash her hands of Victor forever.....and If Braeden has say he wouldn't allow any real confrontation scenes like that between Katherine and Victor....

I guess one thing I liked was the use of old background music whether it was to MAB's credit or not......

The old music cues are what I have to commend the MAB era for, at least they used them. One of my favourite scenes was Diane Jenkins floating face-down and dead in the lake, that haunting track they played was perfect, that set the tone just right. At least B&B is known to use the old music from time to time.

Not a problem :) I love those rooftop episodes, I love when Y&R goes all batsh*t crazy DOOL-style.

 

Oh holy hell, really? I'm not exactly Victor's biggest fan, but I have to admit, I've actually kind of liked a lot of his scenes since the Adam reveal. There's no going back after the whole Phyllis/Marco thing though.

I can tolerate the crazy sometimes...as long as it's done for the right occassion....

Yeah, apparently Braeden was tired, and wanted out to do more movies.....I guess they talked him into staying....this was also before the infamous brawl he and Bergman got to so that wasn't a factor....

It just surprises me cause I feel like Braeden always makes it known he's NOT a quitter so if this was true he obviously didn't feel that way over almost 25 years ago...then again the article got his age wrong saying he was 47, when he was 49-50 in 1991 so perhaps it was all a lie....

Yeah, I can handle the insanity such as this that the likes of Sheila can bring, but doppelgängers and such, not so much.

 

Yeah, I can't see Victor going anywhere anytime soon. Between him, Stefano and Alf Stewart on Home and Away, they're going to be around forever.

Amen! It's funny, around the time when speculation was that there was 'another Jack' in GC, I thought 'No, there's no way they'd do this again. Marge, Sheila, Sugar, Sarah, Patty, there ain't no way they're pulling this card again.' And we're literally two episodes away here in Australia from that whole Marco thing going to air.

I used to look at Victor like I look at Bill Spencer Jr, he did horrible things, but I always found him oddly likeable. Now, not so much. Ever since that whole Patty fiasco and Colleen's death.

      Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!

      Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic

      Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.

      GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.

      Yeah; I feel like, in previous regimes, it wasn't as consistent as this. You could go episodes without it changing. I just hate the random indent on the secondary head writer.

      Got it. I vaguely remember this being discussed. I guess it's fair.

      Why does this Smitty/Kat talk feel like foreshadowing what's coming with Martin's Secret?   Hahaha. Not Kat and Tomas keep getting business in their way. And uh oh...Eva.   Oh, there's Ashley and Derek. Mmmm those pants.   And ooooooooo another Ted/Martin scene. YES, PLEASE.   Andre...no, no, no!!!! This is going to come back on you with Dani!!

      Danny and Rocco..... and Lulu(who usually annoys the heck out of me) were the best thing about today's boring episode. Even Sasha and Willow's were
