U a have to go to Michael Fairman where La Diva Sullivan is interviewed. It's just amazing how awesome she is. She calls Sage a total badass and spoke about the character. She also was very classy with Gina Tognoni as she knew she didnt get the part but She's honored to be on Y and R. She's too FREAKING STINKING cool.

Today's ep was the hardest to sit through in quite some time....which I guess goes to show Y&R has improved of late.

This show should never be Victoria-centric! Ever!

The Adam stuff was the only part that kept my attention (and I do like Melissa Egan...so her scenes too).

They could have even added stand alone eps of Grace on the phone at the airport cooing to Nick and being all sympathetic about his breakup with Sharon. Just watching her in scenes by herself would have been better than any of Victoria's!

I agree about the episodes never being Victoria-centric. Never ever, ever should Heinle be the focus of an entire episode. EVER!!!!!!!

Michael's cancer story may be a good fit for the characters in the Baldwin camp. Kevin, Michael could be gasp tolerable in a story where kooky hijinks do not ensue[i'm looking at you Chipmunk!]

I liked CGs scene with Kevin, trying to be a friend. Another example of how CG elevates the performances of her co-stars.

Nice to see JG again, she is so woefully underused and poorly written on B&B.

Looking forward to the return of another former friend later this month.

Grandpa Billy ...just...meh!

It was the worse one of the week. All that time spent with Victoria as June Cleaver…GMAFB….total suckage…..what a boring ass episode…who cares about this bitch who moaned and complained for attention all this year about how she was wronged….ugh

After gaining a lot of momentum they do this kind of episode?? Really?? Sucked…and I agree Y&R should NEVER do an episode featuring this Victoria.

You know Burgess I bet is a nice guy but he is totally miscast as Billy….he looks just as old as Jack who is already in his 60s

I want that hour of my life back. Even at the half hour mark I kept thinking a more interesting story line would be shown, even though I know that's not how it works. 40 mins of Victoria's fantasies...I just can't.

Seeing Adam was something, but that story is just getting started so, it was just a really frustrating, worthless episode.

They desperately need to recast. I feel mean saying it, but she doesn't cut it. Abby will never be a worthwhile character with MO in the role, even though I do think she's improved slightly. Let Abby go to Paris for a year and come back looking like Kim Matula (BB) or Kate Mansi (DOOL) or any capable actress. Abby should not be dead weight.

    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
