Lily looked a fool and very unprofessional. She has zilch say in who Jack sends to Forrester Creations on behalf of Jabot and Chelsea's rags. This one sided rivalry between Lily and Hilary is tiresome now.

Jabot is her client. She can not go around demanding who they send to represent them

Agreed. Lily has no say in who Jabot sends to LA to represent them. She is definitely out of control. LOL

I agree Paul, and I particularly dislike it when the actor is posed almost identically in both shots looking at the camera, e.g., CK.

Jess Walton is always such a pleasure to watch. I'm glad she grew her hair long again.

I need to do some research because I'm lost with this Ian/Dylan/Avery stuff.

Do Neil and Lily ever mention Dru? During their spat today, I was fully expecting Lily to bring up her mother.

Devon and Lily semi mentioned Dru three weeks ago when they were talking about the last time Neil had luck in love and the last time he drank.

When Billy told Chelsea not to smack his face, gesturing that it's all he's got left, I shot my TV screen the shadiest look.

I thought that was a cute line...BUT, DT isn't good looking enough for the line.

Looks are subjective

Looks are subjective

That's true...but there are many people in the world that most would be hard pressed to think that they were not VERY attractive.

Ok. You've jumped me several times over my negative comments about DT. I've seen you do the same to others. You're right it's subjective. I think he's bland at best. Not very attractive by soap standards and taken a character whose mildly Whiney behavior was nuanced by a talented actor, and emphasized the least attractive aspects of said character because David Tom excels at whiny and annoying.

FauxCassie needs to become a double agent and secretly just string Victor along. Victor deserves some stress in life.

What Victor deserves is a good rap in the mouth.

I'm giving DT time to get adjusted back to playing Billy. Even though he played him quite well in the past, his character evolved during the 10 + years he wasn't playing the character. I think it will take some time before he settles back in.

When Eileen Davidson came back as Ashley in 1999, she had a difficult time playing Ashley again for the first several months of her stint.

I don't think he evolved at all. He simply became an air hog and unlikeable.

That said; David Tom's child voice won't change and this makes it slightly problematic to pass him off in the adult stories

Well he can't change his voice

Very true. Once all the "old" Billy stories have played out, I imagine the show will start writing stories that play to DT's strengths.

For me, David Tom and Billy Miller are basically on par in terms of acting skill and looks. I like them both. I was used to Billy Miller, so I would have liked him to stay, but he didn't, and David Tom is a nice, close second for me. I guess Billy Miller seemed a little more like he could be Jack's brother, but David Tom seems more like someone who could be related to Traci.

Does Victor know who the Cassie look alike really is? It's hard to believe he hasn't investigated her origins. If she isn't related to Sharon this basically seems all for naught, and if she is Victor is really on an even more despicable track then he was before.

Marlon Brando didn't have the most masculine of voices and he definitely made it work for him. I'm in no way comparing the two except in terms of the timbre and pitch of the voice.

If I were directing Tom, I really would suggest he find a way to take more time enunciating the dialogue. When he takes more time, his voice tends to sllightly lower its register. When he speeds up words, he tends to get squeaky. Perhaps Tom is amped up and not even realizing he's doing this. A director's job is to remind him of this. I always find myself asking 'Where is the Director?' when it comes to Y&R.

One thing David should really consider doing, and this is going to sound superficial and shallow, is to work on his physique. I'm not talking about bulking up (frankly, I'm not a fan over the super muscley type) but to develop defined, lean muscle mass--the kind a fit runner or even a tennis player might have.

Then he could get away from the shapeless, baggy clothes and the slightly too big shirts that seem to dwarf him and make him look like a perpetual teenager. Perhaps wearing clothes that have a more tailored fit might provide a more grown up look.

JMO.

Cassie needs to break Victor out of this fetish he's developed recently for using doppelgangers to gaslight people. And she should do it by secretly going rogue and giving Victor no ends of trouble while pretending to be doing his dirty work. This needs to be such a headache for Victor that he never ever even considers doing something like this again.

I doubt Victor will suffer, thereby ensuring that he will never learn but it sure would be a nice change.

HHK is finally posting on social media again.

Hopefully the nightmare is over for her and people will let her move on. She went about her business and handled herself the best of anyone involved in that situation.
