Hey, were you watching ATWT in its final decade? Reminds me of when Gwen and Maddie thought they had killed Adam Munson. And he turned up alive and was tormenting them over it. The story didn't really turn out that well because Adam had always been a good guy but it could work with Austin since he's already shot the chief of police, so he's no saint.

I think the scenario you've just described is probably close to what will happen to be honest.

Y&R is amazingly plotty yet at the same time, filled with huge plot holes. How do they manage that?

Yep. But at least that story was good. We saw the build up leading to it.

Much like the Adam Munson story, as aforementioned, there is no build up for this story. It's clear that Pratt has been watching HTGAWM and is trying to capitalize off of it. Austin having some secret affair with Abby while cheating on his wife, Summer. Clearly someone on the room 'killed' Austin on Summer's behalf, but I'm sure he'll pop back up and torture the younger generation before meeting his demise [whether jail or hell--i.e. death].

I prefer Shonda Rhimes/Peter Nowalk version better.

This is why I've given up on Y&R for the time being and just read board comments. No need in watching the tragedy. I'd rather allow the ratings to plummet thus leading to regime change or cancellation. Both would be acceptable at this point.

Well I'm an old as* Guiding Lighter...and I'll say this. Give Gina Tognoni something SUBTLE. She is a fabulous actress. Nothing she's been given has been subtle. She has been given mean, nasty dialogue, and Y&R needs to do better. Secondly...GOD I wish Cynthia Watros was still playing Kelly. Totally different character right now if that happened. Never been a McClain fan. She's hopscotched between many shows for most of her adult life. AMC ATWT AMC ATWT. No. Watros rocked this role at first and would totally do it right now.

Haven't liked Kelly since Cady McClain took over the role.

Cynthia may have only been on for four months but she took a nothing character and made her interesting within 3-4 weeks. As much as I like CM, it took Cady like 3-4 months for me to have one iota of interest in her version of Kelly. I'm not trying to shade the actress because she seems like a nice person IRL but she's only recently gotten off the struggle bus with her portrayal of Kelly. Granted, the writing is still weird for this character, but when CW took the role, she made something out of virtually nothing.

I could see others wondering how these battles would've played out had it been Gina and Cynthia driving these characters into a collision. I know I'm interested.

Sorry. It's just the parallels, especially in regard to the ages of the characters involved in both storylines that caught my attention. I know she's breakdown, but are we sure Jean P. didn't pitch this one?

The only thing that can save this horrid cabin story for me is if Austin turns up alive with a manipulative screw loose and tortures the whole crew ala Nick on Days.

And God yes did we miss out with Cynthia Watros leaving, I still get a tingle just thinking of that one scene with her and Stitch at Crimson Lights where she was moving around him like a snake about to pounce on its prey. McClain is alright now but I won't shed a tear when they write Kelly off in a few months (and we all know thats coming).

Just realized I forgot to comment on todays show......I kind of liked the Nikki/Phyllis/Jack/Victor stuff. Everything else?

I'm sorry but as much as I hate Victor, I laughed when he said "The bastard is alive" when Jack came too, and also when he started yelling for help...the whole scene was unintentionally hilarious.....

The scene with Adam rescuing Billy made me laugh too when he just said "get your useless ass up"....

I guess all of this is some weird attempt at comedy as well....

Is somebody gonna remember to tell Billy about Jill? I'm sorry I know it's been almost 5 years since that horrible rewrite, but no way Lauren would be upset over Jill being on the plane....

oh and did I mention Chuck Pratt ruined one of my favorite horror movies with "I Know what You did Last Summer" at the Abbott cabin....?

      Call me crazy but I still think there’s hope for them. Their scenes today proved it to me. I loved how they were there for each other and talked about what’s going on with their fathers. And how Belle helped Shawn get a lead on Kevin’s roommate. Their relationship, at the moment, seems so natural. In a way, it reminds me of how Sami/Rafe were after they got divorced. And while I do like Shawn/Jada and EJ/Belle as couples, I’m looking forward to going along for the ride and (hopefully) seeing Shawn and Belle find their way back to each other. And I still think there’s hope for Gabi and JJ too. I don’t see them as an endgame couple but I do enjoy them together. Javi was a pain in the ass though and kinda messed up their scenes. And also messed up Gabi’s reunion with Arianna. Speaking of Arianna, I’m glad that she’s back in Salem. And she did have a point about Gabi and Javi. But yeah, Javi’s still a pain in the ass lol his scenes with Leo weren’t bad though, surprisingly. Mostly because they were centered around him and not Leo. That definitely wouldn’t have happened a few months ago It’s too soon to make any judgments about the actress playing Arianna but I’m looking forward to seeing her storyline. And to seeing the interactions that she has with other characters on the canvas. Hopefully, she won’t be friendly with the guy who tortured and sexually assaulted her fathers.  I also enjoyed Julie’s reunion with Doug III. Her being so stubborn and resistant today was classic Julie. I still kinda feel bad for Doug III though.

      7th Heaven reboot in the works

      By te. · Posted

      I have a new storyline for the "diverse" 7th Heaven reboot! The WASP family has a foster child called Gilberta. She's an AA kid whose mother is addicted to crack marijuana! The devil's seed! Either way, she's been integrated into this WASP family and shock/horror, Marijuana Mommy comes back! What will happen? Well, I will tell you - first it seems like Marijuana Mommy has her [!@#$%^&*] together and she gets her kid back! The WASPs are sad. Then it turns out that Marijuana Mommy is still on the dope and selling tricks talking to strange men on the corner! Plus, foster child (Gilberta) talks about how much she loves the WASPs. The episode ends in tears with Gilberta back with the WASPs! Also, Marijuana Mommy goes away, acknowledging how much better parents the WASPs are. The end. Why haven't The Great American Family hired me yet? I can feel the audience will watch this and cry a lot of tears.

      I’m thinking Taylor’s resurrection a few months later caused the show to change course and cut her return short. If true, I wonder what the original plan for this storyline would have been? Amnesiac Ridge getting Morgan pregnant again?

      GH: Classic Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      re the penthouse.  I can't recall exactly but I think that it was used  for several years. Leslie moved to the cottage. Was that when she married Rick or before? Anyway, maybe Tracey took up residence? Don't know whether she bought it from Lesley, or they just re-used the set pretending it was a different place.
