She is back on March 30. I won't bother posting it in spoilers since it is not really that big of a spoiler.

Also, to everyone wondering, nobody said anything about Avery leaving, at least not yet.

I'm trying to watch this today - I have no idea why - and noticed they are playing blaring soft porn music over the Phyllis/Nick scenes. I'm sure glad that a granddaughter's custody battle is sexytime.

Eden and Daniel both look like they have tuberculosis. And once again the music was too loud.

Ricky and Daisy are just godawful. I can't believe how terrible she is after a lifetime in the industry. Ricky looks Sam the Eagle and is about 10 years too old for the role.

That scene where he told Daisy he'd help her cut way too abruptly.

Why is Victoria dressed like Mary Hartman's grandfather?

Wow, Genie Francis still can't act. Is she playing the world's oldest ingenue? What is she doing?

Nikki isn't even wearing fur, she's wearing pelts. With the hair she looks like a bag lady.

The only interesting part was Jack's paralysis (sort of). I guess the Shadam stuff might have qualified if they hadn't had this scene a dozen times.

GF's reaction was awful!

I actually liked Victoria's wardrobe today aside from that coat when she went to go meet her father. The hair looked nice and the dress was pretty

Ricky is as bad as Patty and his mother

Yvonne Zima is so dull onscreen, she's benefitted though from having an acting family to help her get roles

Could somebody please explain why this is the worst soap on the air? It's true that a couple of storylines are bad--like Kevin's (just concluded) marriage to the mob princess and Daisy's custody battle--but others are pretty good. In particular, I am enjoying the Jack/Sarge storyline, the corporate intrigue going on with Mitsukosi (spelling?), the friction between Victor and Nikki, and watching Tucker and Devon repair their relationship. Even from a subjective standpoint, I don't see how Y&R deserves to be cancelled.

Victor and Nikki have had the same story 50 times in the last few years alone. The business story is incomprehensible and mostly involves more reminders of Victoria being pathetic, as if we didn't already know that.

Who is saying it should be cancelled?

I think the reason folks are so critical of Y&R is because they have been the gold STD for years and even after Bill Bell handed the reigns over to Alden and Smith the show still managed to maintain that image. It's just like all the rest now. I don't think it's the worst soap by far. GH still is hands down but it's now not that much better than the rest where that was never the case before. Like you I am liking some things but the things not working seems to cast a large shadow over the rest.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.

    • I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.
