Amen. Nina's limited appearances was the best part of the week.

Loved the campy storyline. Reminded me of the 80s stories. At the height of L&L, they were on M-W-F and the b and c storylines would be on T-TH. Going by tat, once a week for Nina is more than enough[sorry MS, much as I like u, your character is just unwatchable]. I'd rather see Who killed Nina than Who killed Ava.

Sigh-less should be the killer, and Kaka should be accidentally killed in the crossfire. Wouldn't be against Morgan-Rosalie-Michael-Sabrina triangle as a C-story.

Also, would like to see Tracey in an adult story that doesn't involve Luke or Fluke. Maybe a new romance with a new chief of staff at the hospital, after Obrecht is released from her position.

I wasn't totally against the Anna-Leisl scenes, Obrecht insulting Anna, arguing over the man they both love, Nathan. Anna really needs a one night stand w/ Detective Woodcock-Cassadine before he is married off to Maxie and more baby rabies.

As always Kristina Wagner was beautiful this week, Jack's loss.

I admire MW's ability to commit to whatever she is being asked to play. She might go OTT sometimes, but she never, ever phones it in.

Nevertheless, as great as she is, I think her character is a real dead end (pardon the pun).

I don't know, but what I'm really sure about is that Sonny should not have another child and it doesn't make a ton of sense to give Morgan one either, right now. If Ava lives than fine, but if she goes, the baby needs to go too. However, it would not shock me if Ava dies and Morgan is the father. Then Kiki would help raise the baby, and it would kind of be a nod to Starr. I can see Ron going there.

I have one of the scenarios planned out: Michael has a romantic evening planned for Kiki, but she is weary after recieving a chilling memento from the Strangler (one of Sabrina's items that she had when she was killed), when the time comes Michael goes and texts her to go to the Metro Court, he has rented a room, unbeknownst to him the Strangler is hiding in the room, when Michael enters and gets the food all prepared he goes to grab something when his back is turned the Strangler knocks out Michael and drags him to the bathroom, Kiki goes into the room and she sees everything laid out, she receives a text saying that "a surprise is waiting". The Strangler sneaks up on her and wraps his/her hands on Kiki's shoulders, she thinks it's Michael, until the Strangler's hands are wrapped around her neck. She tries to fight back but it turns out the wine on the table she took a sip of was drugged, she takes her last breath professing her love for Michael

Can we stop telling each other what we can and cannot post? When did criticism become something posters got called out on and told to 'stop watching and go do something else'? Come on, we're better than that. I'm not telling anyone who reasonably defends the show to basically shut up and not post because I don't want to read it. A message board is for back and forth debate. The good, the bad and the ugly.

This.

And it makes me sad because I like MW and what she can do. Ava, like every other character, got shoved down viewers throats and I was pretty sick of seeing her (like Nina and others now). Ron just has no clue about balance.

I also sort of saw the writing on the wall, literally, and when they keep adding 'high profile' (excuse me while I laugh) "stars" like Stafford and Miller ... someone has to go. I also think/hope Julian is done but Ava would probably go before him, even though it should be the opposite.

Think of the money they could use elsewhere if they cut pointless characters like Franco, Silas, Sabrina, Kaka, Felix ... yeah they are cheap but still, money is money.

Yeah. I get that and agree with you. But there's a difference between someone reasonably discussing their love for the show and someone trolling for a reaction with the same type of post day in and day out, week in and week out, month in and month out (seriously it's old). Who?

;)

I miss Kevin and Jon Lindstrom too. He's aged very very well. IMO he's always been underappreciated.

Is he taping?

This.

It wasn't the worst week of the show, for numerous reasons, but you summed up the problems.

And see folks, praise is given when praise is deserved.

    • This is probably more for the classic thread, but for me this type of writing starts ramping up around the time of Taggert's arrival, where a character pays lip service to Sonny's flaws but there is no real analysis and we are ultimately meant to be on his side. And I think it just accelerates, as there always gotchas and outs. Like Laura blaming Sonny for Lucky's "death" when we knew Helena was responsible. It's the type of writing I find most manipulative because they play audience criticisms against them. 
    • I hope none of the theories of about June amount to anything and she just goes away. There’s nothing interesting about the story or character, and I think fans are constantly looking for deeper connections in everything.
    • You hit the nail on the head.  Nope, you are not alone. I like her too. 
    • Out of these, I hope she isn't connected to Samantha and Tyrell. I just don't see a long term story there. I hadn't thought of a connection to Leslie but now that you bring it up...what if we find out June is Haley's sister and both were abandoned and raised in foster care. June ended up on the streets and Haley ended up with the Duprees. The mother who dumped them in foster care? Leslie. If they end up making Eva a stolen child of Nicole's, it would be a good way to develop some family for Leslie to help keep her on the canvas. She could ultimately make up with her kids and then she'd have access to Bill's money/power which could help her become a long term rival for the Duprees.
    • This was a HUGE story on the show for many years. Justin (Ross's brother) and Jackie Marler were Phillip's real parents. They showed a lot of the backstory in flashback when Jackie came on the show. Jackie caught Justin in bed with another woman. She was so devastated she divorced him immediately. She found out she was pregnant. I'm a little hazy on this--I THINK she told him she had an abortion, but maybe not. Maybe she just never told him she was pregnant. Anyway, she decided to give the baby up for adoption. She went to Europe (I think it was Amsterdam) to have the baby. She had the same doctor as Elizabeth Spaulding, who also was pregnant. The doctor was a personal friend of Alan's. He told Alan that Elizabeth's baby would be born dead and she would not be able to have more children. Instead of telling his wife the truth, Alan conspired with the doctor to do a baby switch. The doctor knew Jackie was planning to give her baby up, and she agreed to let the Spauldings have Phillip. Elizabeth woke up from the surgery and was told Jackie's baby was hers. Jackie almost immediately regretted it. She insinuated herself into Alan and Elizabeth's life so she could be near Phillip. They all became good friends. When Alan and Elizabeth returned to the states, they stayed with Jackie at first. Eventually, Alan and Elizabeth divorced and Jackie married him so she could be Phillip's stepmother. It was a disatrous marriage and they also divorced.  Justin found out the truth. Justin and Jackie remarried. Elizabeth found out and wanted them to have custody of Phillip. Alan, of course, was furious but for some odd reason eventually agreed to it. (He did not know at the time Justin and Jackie were the bio parents).  Ross and Alan had kind of an up and down relationship over the years. Ross wanted to BE like Alan in the beginning. When he was married to Carrie they were actually close friends with Alan and Hope. Their relationship totally degraded when Alan was chasing Trish Lewis and she chose Ross instead. Yes, and he also did not approve of how Alan dealt with Phillip much of the time. So they never became friends again.
    • It just does not feel like Y&R anymore, even if a lot of the actors are familiar. It's just... completely lost, and I've never not felt it couldn't be turned around until now and the past few years. Stunt castings (Colleen Zenk) do not remedy the mess. At all. The focus is all wrong; there is no focus. None at all.
    • 1) Ross and Alan had a history aside from Phillip. In the early '80's Alan torpedoes Ross' campaign for DA in retribution for Trish Lewis leaving him and falling for Ross. Ross then assisted Alex in kicking Alan out of Spaulding. Then in the late '80's, Vanessa and Ross break up over her working at Spaulding with Alan, and she's briefly engaged to Alan. Then Alan shot Phillip accidently, and well....you get (part) of the picture.  Phillip trusted Ross, and their closeness really chafed at Alan. I do not think Ross really initially held Alan adopting Phillip against him. Jackie had lied to Justin and had the baby in secret.  Jackie discovered Justin had had an affair and divorced him. When she came to town, she actually ended up marrying Alan to be close to Phillip. Jackie and Justin eventually remarried and had a daughter named Sam. Jackie dies, and Justin leaves town about a year later. Justin makes a brief return, but it's mostly tied to Sam and then Phillip leaves in '91. Justin leaves town again.  Rick and Phillip patch up their friendship, although there are some other rough patches. 2) No, Rick and Fletch generally got along. But I don't recall them interacting much afterward either after the divorce. Meredith had left of her own accord, and Fletch and Rick drifted into other stories.
    • Has Sonny been a mobster since Guza? Yes, he has. Back then was he portrayed somehow as a good man, righteous? No, he was not.  Now, fly through time. Sonny has been credited with taking care of Stone & then Robin. Before you could turn around twice & shout! Sonny donated enough money to build a wing of the hospital in honor of Stone. IMO Mulcahey was on the right track. Maybe that lead to this? We may thank him yet.
    • I totally agree and that's why I wish they had played up Mary's connection to Reginald because I think Alexander had more chemistry with Considine. They never explored her backstory and just thought Mary belonged back with her family. I think a better story would be if she rejected Vince and wanted to stay with Reginald. I know we've litigated Reginald's character, but I wish they had played it that way because it would have kept the Loves and the McKinnons connected beyond just Vicky and Jake.
