I enjoyed Sally Sussman Morina's work on DAYS, particularly the creation and introduction of Nicole Walker and Nancy and Craig Wesley. Plus the Nurse Ali storyline with Mike Horton and Carrie Brady kicked off under her reign. Now, does that mean she's a great fit at Y&R as a HW? No. But I dare say she'd be a damn sight better than Jean Passante.

Today's episode was all from Billy's POV as he was standing at the scene. BM's acting does nothing for me though and I never cared for Delia and found that little actress annoying. Older Delia was kind of homely and had an annoying cutesy voice.

For all the talk about this lifetime legacy for Delia we didn't ever really see her with the Abbotts, Jill or Katherine.

I think at this point it's Billy's story because this is ultimately his fault. Chloe didn't want the dog and I can't imagine she would have left DeeDee alone in that car. I'm not really saying he did anything wrong, but this character has been known to be reckless and I think some people will blame him for his daughter's death. Chloe will get her reaction scenes and I'm going to guess that she is going to blame Billy 100% for this. It would be more interesting if Victoria did too, but I bet she won't.

Is it really possible that Adam hit her? It seems like you would feel it, if you hit a child.

Chloe gets "reaction scenes"...a mother loses her only child whom she has raised her entire life and all she gets are "reactions scenes". While Billy Abbot gets a full story about him. This is a prime example of what is wrong with this show. A story like this should have lasting consequences on all involved. Not just Billy Miller getting an emmy reel. Things should never be the same for any of them. If things go back to the way they were in 6 months, then this would have been a waste of time. Chloe as a character deserves more than reaction scenes.

She was definitely brought out to prop Kevin. Very annoying.

But you don't know what she's going to get yet, you're just assuming. Just because Billy got most of the scenes today, doesn't mean that will be the case going forward.

Agreed...however, it was your prediction I was responding to...and past behavior is the best predictor for future behavior. I am going off of the visions Billy had too...

This happened on GH too... Jake's death became all about Jason's pain and Elizabeth's pain was ignored

Speaking of one of the Delia actresses I could've seen her as an aged Delia

I can see it now...Chloe comforting Billy and worrying about him without nary a mention of her own pain.

Thats why imo it doesnt matter who the new HW is, this is a JFP show PERIOD!!!

If u look at the ratings why is JFP y and r been consistently higher then Maria's I mean last week they had episode hit 5 million. Jill ain't going anywhere. Her ratings are very good.

that's what they said about her Santa Barbara, Another World, One Life to Live, Guiding Light and General Hospital and look at what happened to those soaps

Exactly. She had her rating highs and then they immediately dropped once she did something stupid to beloved veteran characters.

Give Jill time. She'll eff it up like always.

I wasn't making a prediction, I was using a particular phrase, maybe not the best one. I would have couched what Billy got today as "reaction scenes" as well.

Yeah, that ratings comparison was used on MAB a year after LML left, soooooooooo..................

But you don't know what she's going to get yet, you're just assuming. Just because Billy got most of the scenes today, doesn't mean that will be the case going forward.

Judging from the canadian recaps for next Mon's show, thats def what she gets and its a muted reaction, I suspect Peeps aint gonna like this show, this is def all for Villy!

Liz had a lot of scenes showing her pain. Scenes with Luke reacting to what happened, both angry with him and forgiving him. Scenes with plenty of people discussing how guilty she felt about letting him get outside. Didn't she nearly kill herself on the roof of the hospital?

The bigger issue for me was the Josslyn side. There was really no build up to her illness, it all just felt flat and weak to me. The aftermath has been equally uninspiring.

With Cassie they've really done a good job with the aftermath, even all these years later. Sharon and Nick still feel her loss and acknowledge the anniversaries of her birth and death. Are they going to do the same with Delia? Either answer seems problematic to me. My biggest issue with this story is that it's repetitive. Next is that the stakes for Connor aren't high enough. It doesn't have the same poignancy that the Maxie/BJ story had because this isn't a matter of life and death.

I can see it now...Chloe comforting Billy and worrying about him without nary a mention of her own pain.

Seems unlikely since the show went out of it's way to show Chloe didn't want the dog and that she feels Billy is irresponsible and the "fun" one.
