I wonder what is up with Eden? What was she in rehab for, an eating disorder? Abby made some crack about that, but I couldn't tell if it was just sarcasm. I really hope Abby did not have Noah's baby. Please, god, not that.

Sam being drunk seemed random as hell.

Eden was in rehab for bulimia. MAB probably went digging through the archives to bite off Bill's stories again..."Oh Traci had bulimia..." :rolleyes: I like new Eden thus far. But she looks too old for Noah and that boy's hair is fugly. Get a haircut like daddy Nick did please.:lol:

How handy of "Sherry" to have a brand spanking new strapless satin bra & panties combo underneath those cut-off jeans and lumberjack shirt. Yes, it's another round of Sharon comforting a guy with her vagina. God knows what the Sharon haters are going to say about that (nevermind that Phyllis projectile-launched herself on Nick's dong a few weeks ago). I will say one thing: today was the first day I really "got" that vet. There is something tender and sweet between him and Sharon. He is obviously lonely and Sharon is sad and traumatized and needs somebody non-prickish. If TPTB actually cared to write this show coherently, this guy could be to her what Hope was to Victor.

You're absolutely right Cat! :)

However, the other problem with Sam and that storyline is that once again, he's grossly miscast. Y&R should have gotten Mark Collier or Robert Tyler for the part and IMO, should still recast with one of them.

IA---I don't think Flanery's the problem. I caught him in some utterly forgettable Hallmark movie, and it struck me how charming he was. The problem is the hackneyed plot and the boring character he plays.

I agree. I saw that movie too, and trust us, he was the ONLY bright spot. I think if the character ends up in GC, he will work fine with plenty of people. And I'd much rather see Sharon with this boring new character than with Adam or Nick.

Really liked the 90's flashbacks. I never got to see Eddie's Matt Clark and his storyline (the rape, the murder, Nick's trial). Too bad the last half showed scenes from the past 3 years.

He doesn't have to make an effort. He gets what he wants just by phoning it in with certain actors and trashing stories to the press.

I haven't seen this episode yet but please tell me they did not flog Cassie's corpse for more pity points. It is obscene. I don't remember Traci going all XXXXXXXX after she lost Colleen.

I pretty much only watched today because i knew there would be 90's flashbacks of Nick and Sharon. I was however disappointed that they only showed a few from 1994-1996. I stopped watching as soon as they threw in the clips from a couple years back. I am now convinced more than ever that Maria really thinks her stuff is much more "thrilling" than her father in law ever created, which is why she loaded the show with so many of her own clips, and not the great Nick and Sharon clips Bill Bell wrote. Did you guys noticed how it looked like they were trying to blur/block any flashback that Heather Tom was apart of? I feel that the wedding flashback was when you could see that she was completely blurred.

I wished they showed the clips from 1994 that had Sharon Cases first day in the role. I know she was the third recast, but i would like to see her debut scenes. Also i liked seeing the Matt raping Sharon scene since that has never been posted online anywhere. For a fun piece of trivia for you longtime viewers, correct me if im wrong but i believe that scene where Sharon was raped aired the same day as Phyllis running over Paul and Chris with her car! late December 94/January 95 right?

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
