The thing is JFP has had consistently good ratings despite being dogged by critics and the public. All the network cares about are her numbers and they are very good. Y and R beats some primetime shows on tv isn't that crazy? I don't see her going anywhere. Her numbers were higher then all of Maria's final year which was dismal but Maria's mind everything was all up

She's also lost the number one position in the demos, twice, something that has not happened in years. The demos are what the TPTB care about.

Again yes ratings are good but they were trending upward BEFORE she took over. Look at MABs last week, ratings were up then, not to mention that all of daytime including talk shows and game shows appear to be up.

I just can't with the Laners complaining that Lane\Lily are being used to prop Devon (and Hilary). Devon has done almost nothing over the last several years but play angst (prop) to Lane and support Lily. And he was used in a similar capacity for her pairing with Daniel. Just spare me.

And this idea that Hilary needs Lane because she can't stand on her own is not based in reality. Hilary rarely shares scenes with them anyway. If anything, she is keeping them relevant. At least viewers beside their die hard fans are enjoying their scenes now.

And then the complaints that they work for Devon. Apparently, this is an insult. Please! Devon is the one with the degree, experience owning a business, and the damn money. What does Lily have by way of any of that? And cane is lucky to not be in jail for embezzlement. No one should trust him with a corporate job or any money. I hope he steals from Devon just to shut them up!

We had to endure their horrible storylines for the past 5 years..and I agree, Hilary kept them relevant. They are far more interesting in supporting roles. To be honest Lily was a lot more interesting with Daniel. Plus they had good chemistry IMO. Lane is just a bore and has always been.

And bringing on TR and GF as Cane's parents still didn't make them interesting no matter how much TPTB tried to force them down our throats.

And while I don't think anyone on Y&R is a bad actor, Daniel Goddard certainly is near the bottom of the pack when it comes to talent.

I love how the table has turned lol. Devon has been stuck propping and cockblocking for Lily for years. I'm used to the Neil and Devon are beneath Lily type thinking though. Thank goodness Lily and her husband are not the center of everything anymore.

LOL. Hilary doesn't need Lane in the slightest bit. She's standing on her own just fine. And how the hell does Lane working for Devon equal them propping Hilary? Hilary has zilch to do with Devon owning GCAC. I don't see a problem with Lane working for Devon. Hell its a job. This idea that Lane should be bigtime CEOs, running their own company, etc...uh no.

Exactly...it's been about 10 damn years of constantly being involved in lily's love life WITHOUT one of his own. That makes it even worse. It's time for her to return the favor. Besides, CK seems to enjoy it a helluva lot. She seems excited and happy about this turn if her scenes are anything to go by.

The photographer was kind to Watros in that, aside from some aging around her neck and a bit of jowels, she looks similar to how she did in her GL heyday. From other angles she doesn't.

Chloe - to me this character was dead as soon as they made her Esther's daughter. I don't have any great interest in seeing someone verbally abuse their mother, an insta-mother at that. It felt so contrived. The only time I bought it was when Lily would call her "the maid's daughter."

David Tom looks better now than he did when he was on Y&R before.

Amelia Heinle - I think she's an attractive woman who continues to have awful hair and makeup. She looks like she's auditioning for a Nine Inch Nails video.

    • https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/19/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-take-control-gaza-uk-france-canada-threaten-action    Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will “take control” of all Gaza, as three key allies attacked his “egregious” escalation of the military campaign and blockade on humanitarian aid. Britain, France and Canada attacked Israel’s expansion of its war as disproportionate, described conditions in Gaza as “intolerable” and threatened a “concrete” response if Israel’s campaign continues. finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel’s army would “wipe out” what remains of Palestinian Gaza.  “Now we conquer, cleanse and stay" ---------------------------- My thoughts: This is genocide, ethnic cleansing.  It's just evil and there's no excuse for it.  I'm glad Canada, France, and UK are making a statement, and I hope they back it up. There are some Israeli citizens who don't support what Netanyahu is doing, and I hope they are able to enact some positive change from within.
    • -- I'm not unhappy that Nina and Carly had a bad fight including slapping and tackling and falling down. But geez, all that insane SCREAMING was over the top. It was three minutes of shrieking, and I thought it was all too much. -- And ANOTHER day of Dante ripping Gio and Gio again discussing his sins and failures. Make it end already. -- In the previews, Gio is walking the Nurses Ball red carpet with Joss. Uh...why??? I don't know why Joss is there at all. Doesn't she have some secret agent stuff to do? -- Chase is at the end of the previews, yelling into the phone "You want me to do WHAT???"  My guess is that's another fakeout that there's something important going on, and that Chase got a call to perform at the Nurses Ball. This show....
    • Watching...   For the most part, today's show is boring and trending on fast-forwarding scenes.
    • I figured that they would take Kat in this direction with men for the time being. I like those small bits of history from Tomas, but I still have not warmed up to him yet. A Pamela/Vanessa feud could be worth the watch.

    • Part of me wishes Sarah Whiting had been exposed as a fraud, someone who claims to be Len and Patti's foster child, but whom Patti exposes right off the bat when she arrives in Henderson.
    • I agree, and I think both could be true: Jane Wyman needed to reduce her work schedule due to health concerns, and CBS/Lorimar took advantage of that in order to cut costs, too.
    • It's quite confusing what she's doing with her character. I'm not from the DMV, but what is that accent? Is she pulling a Dorit? Also, why are Dani and Pamela acting like they're broke. They don't have any money aside to start up a business? With their background in the modeling world, why would they even need a physical studio? They have connections (and Dani wasn't afraid to mention it when she was tasked to replace Chelsea in the fashion show when Chels pulled out). They can literally use Dani's small catwalk in her house to test potential models. They can easily scout online using social media. It's 2025! Dani is supposedly a recognized model from her day, then have her act like it. I know some people are saying it's a stretch, but in the 90s there were plenty of models that graced covers and runways with the likes of Naomi and Christie that were never as big, but they still rubbed elbows had successful careers. Dani could easily fall into that category. Also, it's not like a lot of the big name 80s and 90s models didn't go on to live very typical lives after their moment faded...why couldn't Dani be that. 
    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station.
