Well, I finally tuned in today hoping to catch Debbi, my brother said she debuted a few days ago.

I didn't know that Lily had twins. What cute babies. I was surprised how long the one she was holding did the "I'm about to cry" face without actually crying.

Jess Walton looks great, she looks better with some length to her hair.

Hello, I'm new here.

So far, I like Yolanda/Harmony. I enjoyed her scenes with Tucker and with Devon. The awkwardness, tension in her scene with Tucker was really good. No woman wants to be forgettable like that.

The show as a whole, I could pretty much sleep through. In fact, it puts my mom to sleep regularly. Probably the most boring is Lily, Cane, Genevieve and Colin. It's so obvious that despite Lily sleeping with Daniel, she'd go back to Cane. She doesn't do a good job of concealing her emotions and that's the point.

As a Sharon fan, it's hard to watch her scenes too. It's ridiculous that she was charged in the first place yet the naked heiress gets her charges dropped with a confession in about 3.6 seconds.

I hope something halfway decent is planned for November sweeps but I doubt it.

The Devon paternity story and the KAtherine/Tucker story is actually pretty good now. All it took was adding Devon and Neil to the story and Abby and Debbi Morgan so far so good. Not great yet but the story is actually interesting. Stephen Nichols, love him to death, still does nothing for me as Tucker, but the supporting players have been good.

I do love how they are all calling her Yolanda. I hope that stays over the nonsensical Harmony.

Peter Bergman and Genie have zero chemistry.

Thanks Cat, it seems like most viewers are dissatisfied with the show..... that is the ones still watching. Y&R has lost an astonishing number of viewers since last year.

I have never understood why they painted Tucker into this corner. Everyone despises him save Ashley and Sofia, this man needs a male friend and other people who don't look down their sanctimonious noses at him, bunch of hypocrites!

I can honestly say that I wouldn't shed a tear if Katherine died tomorrow, she's been such a witch since Tucker made an appearance and the things she's done to him.... she's incorrigible.

You're right JaneAusten, no chemistry though the actors are really trying. I doubt Genevieve will be around long.

Can's father tried to kidnap his twins....ugh why?

Oh and trying to watch this show is incredibly painful when Giggly Heffa is on. She is just TOOO insufferable

Tucker was painted into a corner from the start. They never cared about building relationships for the character, and Stephen Nichols has been half-asleep the entire time. They have thrown some of the best actors in daytime at him and it just never changes. Tucker is a pointless character.

I'm a big fan of Stephen's but I, too, am disappointed. Sometimes, I feel like he might be ill. I loved him on GH though, Stefan Cassadine is one of my favorite characters ever...well before the awful writing and before he was a crispy critter.

Tucker had potential.

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.
    • Some kind soul has uploaded all three seasons of Once and Again (1999-2002) starring Sela Ward and Billy Campbell.  Season One

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
