She is, and always will be, one of the best. Absolutely phenomenal.

It pains me to think how great this storyline about finding her first baby would have been if it had been written properly. I'm not sure it should have happened at all, but I am sure it should not have happened like this. At all.

eh...I was expecting more focus on Daniel. And the Lily/Cane stuff was vomit-inducing.

The Sharon stuff was okay, but frankly, I wanted to see her dragged from the GCAC in cuffs while photogs snapped away. I get that technically, she's innocent but her relationship with Adam is so repugnant, she deserves what she gets.

Victor is a rude jack ass.

Amen.... Though that has always been true, today was really a day i was not liking Victor. I am getting tired of how he always is looking at his phone whenever somebody is trying to put him in his place as Adam and Sharon were trying to do when she got arrested. If Eric Braeden actually allowed the writers to confirm that everything that Victor did is actually true, we would be in a better spot... but as said by EB himself is that "Victor must always win". I am getting really sick of him being written that way and who better than Maria Hell to actually listen to him.... and the way he reacted to the baby was just as sickening as well. He was pretty much rubbing Faith in all their faces as the greatest baby their ever was (the kid is cute don't get me wrong) and to not want to have anything to do with her, cause he is "That punk Billy Abbott's" kid with Victoria is really disturbing, even if she is adopted. Where is John Abbott to do a beating on Victor when you need him?....

Wow, I just loathe Victor. He is such a douche. I understand that Victoria is being a spoiled brat with this whole lawsuit thing, but that is still your daughter and your GRANDCHILD. How could you be so cold? You don't choose who youre children fall in love with. If you don't like them, you express that opinion ONCE, and if they don't listen, you suck it the fuckk up and move on.

I know that Sharon didn't kill Skye. But the fact that she is with that bastard after everything he did, means she deserves what she gets. I LOVED the line Nick said. something like..."The fact that you can hand our daughter to this psychopath, I don't know what to believe you're capable of." Sharon is a worthless cunnt and I hope she is written out soon.

Cane/Lily...BARF.

Overall, good episode.

eeeehhhhh....I get Victor's point about Lucy (ugh, I hate that name...). He doesn't hate the baby. And I'm sure the old man will be drooling over her the first time he can ogle the kid by himself. What I wish he'd said was "what the hell are you doing, letting this schmeel "surprise" you with a baby, FCOL?"

I have no pity for Chompers or his birdbrain appendage. Victoria has enabled Victor at every turn, including when Victor gave her niece brain damage and killed her beloved beetfaced beau's niece. Is it bad now because it's happening to her?

They should not be raising a child anyway. They are terrible people and even worse parents.

This is the Y&R legacy... multiple life-threatening locations from which you can choose to unceremoniously kill characters in/at.

Dear... how I love pictures like these... And it's from when the show was captivating, alive.

Jill/John :wub:

Speaking of Jill, what they're doing to her continues to be sickening. I'm where she accepted Colin's proposal... oh my, the woman who clawed her way up Jabot and made a fortune for herself (through whatever means lol), a brilliant businesswoman who was wanted for her business savvy even though on a personal level she wasn't well-liked by many... now a complete and utter fool. It says a lot that the most exciting thing about this is that Walton's growing her hair. Go whore-hair! :D

    • Oh yeah, definitely! I actually like this storyline because it's very realistic and we are definitely starting to see the cracks in Ashley and Derek's relationship. I also like that they are finally starting to develop Ashley as a character and putting her in scenes with her mom Jan also helps a lot. I'm not so sure about Ashley and Andre as a couple though and I'm also still sort of on the fence about Andre/Dani too. Maybe if the writers continue to flesh out Ashley as a character and give her a real purpose outside of Derek and Jan I might eventually warm up to them as a couple if the writers actually intend for them to be a real thing long term. I'm not entirely convinced that Andre/Dani are in it for the long haul and I feel like they should have kept Andre as a womanizing lothario because at least he would have something of a personality. 
    • One of the main traits of a Type A personality is ambition/competitiveness. That's not Ashley.
    • LOL - such a good point. They think it'll go over well and be glamorous and amazing, but sometimes it just ends up being cringe. This wedding so far is a little cringe. They have ducks walking around the hotel foyer and towards the camera, for heck's sake haha.
    • I was focused on 1995 Phillip. With only one child at that point, all he'd really have to rule is his harem of ex's. I'd have loved to watch Grant Aleksander and Rick Hearst go toe to toe, but he's on his way out and I doubt the writers would've ever let A-M best Phillip.  Yes, to someone like Kyle, but no to someone to horndog Reva or be an ineffectual six month villain. They really needed to invest in a Roger-type villain who was built to last. I don't know what it is about location shoots, but shows had a way of overplaying them. Just because you can swim the length of a real pool, or run in a literal field of flowers, etc...doesn't mean I have to see it in it's entirety. I just watched Mindy's wedding to Kurt, and Mindy must've walked a bleepin' mile between the carriage and the altar.
    • And it’s give me a Zzzzzzzz viewing experience!

    • They just aired a montage of Marcus and Dahlia swimming, with music playing in the background singing "Skin to Skin", for 4 MINUTES.  No joke or exaggeration. 4 minutes of them swimming at nighttime, no dialogue, just swimming.  WTF.
    • It's giving Ashley as "type A" personality, while Derek is giving "type B" personality, and they're clashing.

    • I remember my late mom express passionate love of the show (being that we're Irish Americans and how Johnny and Maeve Ryan reminded her of her grandfather)... and that she viewed Jillian and Mary as role models. When the show ran on SoapNet years ago, I remember watching the early episodes and having debates with my mom over how strident and militant the show was... especially in regards to feminist issues.  And how I found Mary to be a hypocrite (she's a reporter... yet can't suss out that her father and brother are both toxic and controlling)... and Jillian to not be quite a good role model (yes, she's a lawyer.. but she's happily waiting for Frank to divorce Delia and then after the divorce.. waits for him to win elections as she silently waits on the sidelines). My mom did admit that in retrospect, she did find the show to be a bit strident and explained that it was the 70s and feminism was a huge passion for her and others like her.   And that was when I learned to view soaps without a modern day lens... and eventually I did find enjoyment on the show (and their St Patrick's day celebrations were always a fun tradition).
