Its a real pity Dru's daughter is given such victimizing material.

Only Sheffer could write that!

I think the show is at least somewhat watchable, tolerable in some aspects. This isn't like last year or 2009 but you I currently have zero expectations for the show and really don't care for anyone on the show except Nikki, Jill, Diane, as well as Neil/Leslie.

I know. It was camptastic. Back in the day, Brenda could actually act. But not in the 80s! I love her Jill, though. She is such a Joan Collins-wannabe, a glamorous sex kitten and that drives Kay NUTS. Plus the way the scene itself plays out gave me goosebumps -- the way Kay said "GOODBYE, tramp!" was borderline psychotic.

Well, after yesterday's episode, it is clear what is going on re: Lily and Cane. Y&R sure had me fooled for a moment there, what with Colin walking in with GhostCane standing right there and Colin being all "Who are you talking to? There is nobody here." Later, when Neil shows up, GhostCane disappears. The first hint that something wasn't kosher.

Daniel Goddard's ability to ooze false sincerity and saccharine sliminess is being put to good use. There was a point yesterday where I thought "Wow, I guess even ghosts get horny." Even though this is FauxCane, in a weird way I always suspected that RealCane was exactly like this person: a coward, liar and con artist -- his whole demeanour always smacked of insincerity and opportunism.

Thank you for a great laugh.

To Mr. Pual Raven- It's not being easily pleaed. Y&R has been dreadful for weeks on end before sweeps. Y&R has been must see for me since the week before sweeps. I am really enjoyng this new Ashely plot. And Diane and Adam. Things look promising. I have been hard on MAB, but when it's good I'll call it out just like the bad. I am just thankful i am able enoying my favorite show. After watching two years of crappy stories Y&R has been really good for me at least any way. I hope She keeps it up

MAB if you read this, I guve you an A for May sweeps. Good job

Well it's certainly not the same Y&R I don't like the characters I loved for such a long time at all now. I like Diane, and I like Abby. I either hate, dislike, or don't care one way or the other for many others. I do like Ashley's story, I will always have a sick addiction to the Nikki, Victor beat as long as it is not overdone with Nicki being abused by Victor (relatively speaking). Nick bores me to death now, Phyllis needs a life, Katherine has become so annoying, where in the world is Jill, Sharon's nothing past a slut to me, I oddly still like Jack because they can't do nothing worse to make him anymore Pathetic (I think Bergman is underrated in how many times he saves the character here) and he maintains a sense of humor about (again Bergman), Sophia is ok, yay Traci! Adam's still a jerk but his brother Nick serves less of a purpose, Victoria can't even focus on looking as presentable as Victoria nowadays I don't know that character, ugggggh @ Billy Miller as Billy Abbot, I like that Michael's back to supporting but ease him out of Victor's backside a bit, I still like Lauren (somehow I think of it as all the idiotic things tht happened to the character is not the character's fault), Oh and poor KSJ/ Neil (nothing new). Don't think I care about any of the others

    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
