Perfect ending. Perfect...

I did not not enjoy the Old West storyline as a kid..I cannot remember if this upcoming episode is exclusively Old West or is there present day stuff mixed in?

the recap mentions Asa and Cord noticing Bo's picture going missing so I imagine it at least has some present day stuff

Is that red had the woman that played Dallas?

Kudos to Soapnet for showing the end credits with no split screen with Chew or Revolution promos. Shocked

I am DVRing this, will there be am Eterna episode or something with Lois Kibbee?

No Eterna, and I don't see any signs of Lois in this episode... I think Megan's death is next so we are sadly done with the Rauch era..

I mean if it's in a totally hypothetical world, where she didn't write Y&R during the years when GL most needed rescuing, she wouldn't be so bad. Her tenure was the last when I regularly watched Y&R; after she left I fell off as a viewer.
I just see her as Bell's protege who was meant to take over when he retired. I connect her so strongly to Y&R. But she was a good HW.

ALL: Those big, iconic soap moments

Beautifully stated. The actual moment Brenda hears Lily is pregnant you can see both VM and MB almost collapse in pain. Brenda did immediately start something up with Jax 10 minutes later, but it made sense. She knew it was over (for the moment obviously). Sonny's conversation with her is actually really great. MB was good back then.

It's not exactly the dialogue being wrong it's more the phrasing being confusing. Like Gabi saying I have known Theo since high school. So it becomes vague like you've known Theo since he was in high school or you went to high school with him? Or when Cat said Aaron was out of town which I think implied while Sophia was pregnant? It's almost like they don't finish entire thoughts on screen.

I could make a Steve Burton fat joke here, but I'll refrain.

Reading an article that @Paul Raven posted in the Y&R Classic thread has me thinking: what about Kay Alden?

I also don’t believe that stuff about her. Do I think she doesn’t take any crap and is direct? Absolutely. She’s been acting in soaps since the early 1990’s so she has seen it all, and I have never seen her checked out. Now I don’t think she has ever gotten to that angry grit that fueled SJB’s Carly, and they never really tried to write her that way because it wasn’t working.
I don’t think Valentini likes drama bts, and wouldn’t put up with it from her. Especially now. I don’t think anyone has any real power at GH bts except for Frank Valentini. The days of Maurice or Steve throwing their weight around are long gone.

I really hope it's not the former. Even if the dialogue doesn't always make sense, the script writers still work very hard on those scripts under the most impossible circumstances. Allowing the actors to ad lib would be insulting.

Thanks for that article, @Paul Raven .
Damn, I wish Kay Alden was still involved with Y&R.

Rita Lakin was a wonderful writer. I think she and Rick Edelstein were the best writers TD ever had. If she had been willing to take on GL, I think she would've done amazing work there, too. But I also think she told some interviewer once that writing for soaps was hard work and that it never allowed her to spend enough time with her family.

Ratings from the 1990s

Exactly. Of course, whether those loose ends were tied up satisfyingly is always a matter for debate. (Personally, I thought "J.R. Returns" was okay enough, but "Dynasty: The Reunion" just reminded me why the series had to die). But I agree: KL's finale brought everything to a nice close. What more needed to be told?
