Still on last week, but Sharon just rolled her eyes at Nick's praise of Phyllis and told him to shut up. She then listed a bunch of Phyllis' crimes & evil deeds. I nearly died.

I love and miss Cassie but seeing her as Judgmental Ghost is not exactly what I would have hoped for.

I am glad they are giving Jack a surrogate daughter in Hilary. He needs it for when they take summer away...plus taking Kyle too. Where does it leave him really with no kids. There is Abby and Billy of course but Abby has a father. She never really had a dad and is looking for someone to care about her. So her loyalty to him after he has been kind to her makes since. Loving this.

Cane and lily are ridiculous. Expecting Devon to ask Hilary to leave because lily was there. That girl is way to spoiled and used to being the center of attention in her family. She is accustomed to Neil and Devon putting her before anything and anyone so once Devon gets with Hilary, Lily will be very shocked and dismayed. There is smart writing going on with it because they are playing that up (the scenes where Devon is so concerned about Lily and her saying he and cane are her favorite guys...more than once). And Devon's history, sadly, works well here. Remember him deciding to stay in GC because Neil told him that lily was getting to close to Tyler and Tyler needed to be watched and how hurt Roxy was because that was his reason. Very smart writing to work with the history of the family dynamics that have played out for 10 years.

Saying this enough times will NOT make it true you know...Lol

Monday:

How... boring.

I nearly died when Billy was telling Kelly that he is trying to put on the big goofy grin and go through the motions… but he isn't fooling anybody. How funny, that's exactly what Billy Miller is doing as an actor, too! Very meta.

Devon is coming off SO unsympathetic. If this is how they’re going to write him and if Bryton intends to continue using those stupid smirks of his, I don’t wanna see him. Bye!

WTF. Hillary leaves Underground, then suddenly she’s back to make googoo eyes with Stitch?

I did start crying when Nick, Sharon and Noah were talking about past Christmases. The emotion took me by surprise. Guess it shows how strong & good the show used to be once upon a time.

God, what have we done to deserve two episodes in a row ending with Chelsea and Adam's big wuv? Barf.

Esther does the crossword puzzle on the Sunday paper & solves anagrams? Esther? GMAFB! But it was hilarious when Jill dismissed her and then realized Esther was behind this.

Nobody works on this show anymore. People just walk in and out of bars and homes all day long. Remember office scenes? Remember when people actually used to be in their offices working during the day hours?

Did they get rid of Victor's office set? How long has it been since they've shown it?

    • I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.
    • 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.
