Well, a lot of Maria's stories are still playing out, or at least the fallout from them.

The stories aren't that great, but the execution feels a lot tighter and the production values have gotten better. It's a bit more entertaining than what's been happening over the last few years, but still way too early to judge this regime or their vision.

Exactly, Why??

I hope it is a case of 'everything is not what it seems' coming to pass because I could not stand it the first time.

Even though I watch very Y&R little these days, I wonder how TPTB plan to bring back viewers who got disgusted with this show (because let's face it, getting brand new viewers is pretty much off the table) when they revert back to such regressive stories. A woman re-igniting a romantic relationship with a man who stole her newborn child from her arms and let her believe the kid was dead? What is this the 80s? No wonder the soaps are dying.

And the set is so small the angles are limited. Supposedly they live in a mansion and all you ever see is that damn green sofa.

I liked the music they played during Nick and Avery's scenes but I'm not quite sold on them yet.

ETA: When is MCE's contract up because yes, it's very obvious they're doing Shadam again. I hope Annie... oops... Chelsea doesn't go crazy.

Because Adam is her only option (besides Nick) that makes sense.

Victor is back with Nikki, Billy will never leave Victoria, Tucker will be busy with Jill, Aunt Jack is about to be stuck propping St. Giggly again & though Neil will be single soon Y&R will never pair them (for obvious reasons) so it's Adam or Nick for Sharon.

Sharon and Adam will always be disgusting and reek of stupidity and misogyny.

If they wanted to make an honest attempt with them, Adam should have never stole her baby and made her think Faith was dead for months. How can someone ever get over something like that? It makes no sense.

Sharon needs to stay her ass single.

Since we know Dru isn't coming back anytime soon, they should've paired Sharon with Neil. He knows how to handle a fiesty woman and both can bond over all the pain and heartache they've experienced. They can better each other and lead to a more evolved Sharon. Falling in love with Adam was the first thing that led to this downfall for Sharon, so how can he be used to redeem her? This is just as bad as MAB writing IMO. Same with the Phyllis propping.

I knew Shadam was coming soon as I read JG's Tv Guide interview and MM's geeked tweets. Have fun under the bus Chelsea. Avery's apartment is huge indeed but nice. JFP must like Avery/JC. Speaking of JC, weeks ago she tweeted about Avery soon getting her best story yet. I think Avery can do better than jughead Nick.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for he thought he deserved.  noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong.

      I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.

      Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.

      May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE

      Well life is full of surprises. And it's not the first time over the last few years the 'murder mystery' target has moved off a GH character. So...we'll see.

      I'm not a Philip fan, but Xander is a kidnapping, murderous thug! I loathe Xander. I don't know why Sarah stays with him. The Stephanie manuscript sex book ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Yawn...this is the best they can write for Stephanie?

      I agree. I like grey characters. But today veered to dark  Of course not. That's ludicrous

      They shouldn't be on the show anymore. The whole Dimera clan should've been written out long time ago. Xander once again turning to violence. He should be in jail. Is he going to beat up Sarah when Xander finds out Sarah lied to him?

      A recent discussion in the Loving/City forum inspired me to re-read the history of Devon Shepherd.  According to contemporary sources to the plot, Devon never actually kissed Dr. Lynn Carson, PhD. I'd be eager to know if anyone recalls it differently.  My visual memory of Lyn was that she was always dressed in lady-professional drag of the 1980s.   And, that Donna Peskow never toned down her New York accent. Meanwhile, has there ever been a more boring offspring than Devon? On paper, she had it all.  Teen pregnancy, alcoholism, brief foray into bisexuality, adultery, Devon was always down to clown.  But, she was an eternal meekly mouse, with those tiny braids and that namby-pamby vocal tone.  Mr. Shepard must have been a huge nerd, because Devon inherited none of her mother's charm or elegance.  And, don't get me started on her terrible choices for romantic partners.  One can hardly blame Ellen for forgetting about Devon and pretending Julie was her daughter.

      Side note: Devon fell for Cliff Warner after her performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Bonnie and saved her from choking in 1984.  I don't know why this caused me to go on a side quest, but, the Heimlich Maneuver is a relatively recent innovation.  Up until 1986 the government still trained food workers to slap a person on the back in order to dislodge food.  Heimlich's treatment was superior, and in an effort to make it policy, ABC and the other networks agreed to air pro-Heimlich content starting in 1984, according to TV Guide.  So, Cliff was responsible for training mothers at home how to stop their kids from choking.
