This show is complete crap and after reading the MAY sweeps previews it is only going to get worst.:angry:

and honestly i just can't be bothered to watch the show anymore, there is nothing come the screen are on the future spoilers that actually interests me.

I 'm so sick of the over propping and never ending crap boring and predictable storylines involving the over rated one note EB and Jazz hands MS.

I have no interest in the stunt casting of GF as cane mother because everybody knows that the vet ladies MTS JW AND ED screen time is going to suffer and i wouldn't be surprised if all three ladies are back burned to no man's land are even killed of in some stupid storyline that honors the shows history.

The writers have already turned Nikki back into the lapdog abused doormat prop for victor again. ashley is with tucker which seems to be going nowhere but spiltville. and please the writers can't be bother even to write for jill unless it is to prop the old hag kay are to degrade the jill character even more.

I always like when we see Colin and Jill in those small scenes but the Cane stuff is just an annoying jumbled bizarre mess. Those scenes were so god awful. A rip-off of already bad stories like Izzy/Denny on Grey's Anatomy or Brad/Katie on ATWT? Either way, Lame is forever lame.

And yes those May spoilers I've read just sound absolutely worse than whats on the screen now, but I guess it was to be expected.

Good grief...so Sharon Case doesn't look in the mirror? How can she not know that stick-straight haystack looks awful on-air? Odd that when some actresses can't (or couldn't) even lighten their hair because their idiot EP likes "dark haired" aging ingenues (yes, I'm referring to Martha Byrne/Chris Goutman)...why doesn't Y&R's EP tackle SC, plant her ass in chair and CURL IT himself?

While I hate the whore makeup and clothes, at least the hair looks good.

I think Muhney has gotten cuter, less robotic-looking, as the show has gone on. I guess I don't mind tousled.

One good thing about yesterday's show was the baby (babies?) playing Lucy. Just watching them go nuts when their stomachs were being tickled was 1000 times more fun than the SL being played out alongside them.

Phyllis screwed Nick after Adam ditched them in St. Martin. They just "couldn't help themselves", being in the tropics, running around half-nekkid in the bridal suite, the only room available to spy on Adam. *eyeroll*

LOL line of the day..."Sharon loved FREELY". Yeah....she loved Nick, Adam, Billy, Jack and probably the milkman free of charge.

Just some observations, now that I caught up with the week.

...it's too bad TIIC won't do more with Leslie Michaelson. She seems to be a better match for Neil in every possible way. Somehow Tucker's right hand shark Sophia seems way too young for Neil.

...was it just me, or did Sophia and Malcolm's room look like the suite Nick and Phyllis started out the week flucking in?

...I don't get the point of Adam's over-the-top histrionics. Yeah, "the love of his life" is dead. But every time he opens his mouth about being "denied" this or that "right", he makes it less about Sharon and more about HIM.

...that said, Sharon's memorial sucked. Truly, Ashley couldn't have bothered to show up? Or Neil, who spent Monday excusing Victor's betrayal of Sharon?

...Phyllis spent the entire service on the edge of her seat, as if she'd unwittingly sat in the wrong chair and was looking for a commercial break to sneak down next to Nick.

...Sharon, a vet and a lamb walk into a bar...YES, that's how ridiculous this story is, it sounds like the set up for a joke. Oh, and I lmao thinking of Sharon birthin' lambs, mucking stalls and herdin' horses in her four-inch Manolo Blaninks. And I snorted with laughter when poor Sharon "slipped up" and named some chi-chi wine for the doc to pair with his frozen chinese entree. And then proceeded to scarf down the offered plate like a starving lumberjack.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
