You think that's bad, watch yesterday's show. Neil is clutching a suitcase like a security blanket and Tristan Rogers tries to convince everyone (all of whom have known Neil for years) that it's a bomb or something. "He could kill us all!" And Neil is all, "I'm sorry, Lily, you are the innocent here!" And somehow Colin's bomb idea starts to work on Devon and Lily - "what's in the suitcase, Dad?" And then Kristoff St. John starts whimpering and howling; "you know what's in this case? All your lives!" I'm not making this up, that's dialogue. While he's lookin' like Gollum with the One Ring. It's hilarious.

Go Pratt!

It seems like they don't read these hackers resume anymore. This clown just had a show cancel from ABC family channel Twisted. Then Y&R go hire this clown.

The show has turned extremely insane overnight, that's all I can say. The disaster is one thing, but the teens' plot where they artificially assemble everyone between the ages of 18 and 33 (or 40, in the case of Greg Rikaart) at a cabin and have them become embroiled in a slasher-style murder mystery for truly baffling reasons, is really nuts. It is sheer hysteria. Even Frons' soaps never turned on a dime this fast.

The most baffling part about this though is that he could assemble them and start this story without disrupting any other story because NONE of them had a damn thing going prior to this. Almost 10 characters were doing nothing.

I haven't watched Y&R in, wow, maybe 10 months? I tuned into Friday's episode and probably going to watch Monday's and Tuesday's today. NotBlindEvilNeil is amazing. He is going full Baddie in a 90s Steven Segal Movie here.

Not gonna lie, the Winters PLane Disaster is the best thing here. 40 Year Old Teens in a Cabin [ © Vee] is cringeawfully boring.

Justin Hartley is great as Adam. Y'all probably hate him but he has a touch of early Chris Engen soulfulness imo. And Gina Tognoni is basically Michelle Stafford without the restraint.

You're absolutely right. But that's Y&R.

JH is great, he and GT single handily took the show from boring fluff to must watch once they arrived. And I'd say the opposite about Gina in comparison to that other woman, she plays Phyllis' sinister screw loose side in a more subdued fashion, which makes her far more scary and interesting because you're never sure what exactly she's got planned or how far she's gonna go. She has been a revelation and made the character viable and legit in a way she hasn't been since the 90s.

I guess that's what I meant by "without restraint." MS always wanted to be loved by the audience -- she wanted Phyllis to be the popular, flawed heroine who finally gets her one true wuv and the audience cheers for her. GT plays it like Phyllis is wired too tight, one short hop from becoming a complete psychopath again. Which is how the character was always meant to be -- an obsessive with no boundaries when it came to getting what she wanted.

JH is quietly amazing and yet I can't take my eyes off him when he's on screen. And not just because he's cute. He doesn't have that dead-eyed look that MM had. He looks alive and present and in-character even in inconsequential scenes. Like the way he was watching PeepawBilly at Delia's grave last week. It wasn't affected or "look at me be sad, y'all!" His eyes did all the acting even though he barely moved a muscle.
