I thought that BJ and MR had very nice chemistry when they were hanging around each other. They were very cute together when Abby was crushing on Devon. I thought that it would turn romantic but then no. MR had her maternity leave and of course, Roxy showed up for one day to remind viewer that Devon had a girlfriend. Another wasted opportunity for him.

I have said it once and I will say it again. TPTB at Y&R/Sony have no interest in any young black male that they can not pair with Lily. It is why we have not had young Nathan come back full time and why Devon can not have an on screen romance. If they were interested in writing for anyone outside of Lily...or interested in writing Devon as a romantic lead (which is a shame that Kevin can be but not him) then they would have brought young Nathan on and had them fighting over some woman by now.

The problem, IMO, has never been BJ like some would like to believe. It is Sony/Y&R/CBS has never given him a chance.

The fact that he is sleeping with day players and their has been no obvious casting for him a romantic partner makes me fear that Summer and Noah are on the horizon.

I agree...That Nick has always drifted away from NE to Victor's dismay. Victor never understood why Nick wouldn't fight for Newman the way that Victoria did. However, as it was stated before, that is canon because of how JM has played Nick, which prompted writers to find something else for him to do because he doesn't come across as a shrewd businessman.

MAB's inability to write business stories changed the entire dynamic of this show...for the worse. People were going around town just randomly bumping into each other instead of them having a real reason to see each other, i.e. like they work together. At least JG is trying...he is giving these people a reason to have to interact other than them seeming wishy washy..."I can't ever see you again Adam"...yet whoever shows up at his door. It made the characters look ridiculous and no one could take them seriously.

That would be priceless if she was Neil's daughter. IMO, if TPTB were going to keep CK, they should have long casted another Winters daughter for Neil. And had her mother show up too.

I hope she is NOT Gus' daughter. Because then that would limit her from being paired with Tyler one day. Nope...let her not be related to any of the males on canvas unless it is someone they would never pair her with anyway...preferably Neil to prevent the pairing from crossing JGs mind.

She looks nice with Adam in the pic...so does Angell for that matter. LOL. And since she seems like she will be quite the businesswoman, Adam needs someone like that by his side. Yep!

Exactly why I want her to be Neil's daughter. I had forgotten about the mysterious Rose. It does seem like she would be involved in that story. But those blog posts seem very personal and are all about embarrassing Neil so some else is probably doing that.

If she does end up as Neil daughter, without recasting Lily they just gave Neil a daughter. Eventually they going to write Lily out & keep Neil. This way people will stop crying for CkLily to have a backbone like her mother & crying for Dru return. This also leave Hillary open to date Devon too.

    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying. 
    • 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 day, 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 what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. 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 also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • 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
