The scenes with Victor were ridiculous. I know that EB has a huge ego that mist be fed, but come on! That was ridiculous.

Don't even get me started on Summer or Sage. They are trash.

The scenes are ridiculous in many respects, but I'd rather see EB over a bunch of newbies any day. I get how some people long for the days of Porntney and Austin, but if there's one thing that Pratt's team has done well - keeping familiar faces on the screen, plus the three stellar recasts of popular characters. It's far from perfect and they still have major issues with long-term storytelling, but there are plenty of individual episodes and scenes to make it worth watching. It's really saying something when Sage, Noah, Kevin and Natalie are by far the weakest characters and actors. Trying watching DAYS and the contrast couldn't be more apparent.

I thought it was grey, but whoever the set designer is, he or she should be fired.  Can you believe those drapes?

BTW how did Jill even give Billy the Chancellor mansion? I thought Jill was forbidden to sell it unless Billy is just renting it out from her? Can we have Jill's next return being critical of Billy's choice of decor? 

  • Member

Good question, but didn't he buy it?  That's what Phyl said a couple weeks ago.  Are they now saying that Jill gave it to him?  

 

These writers really don't give a [!@#$%^&*] about dotting their Is, do they?

 

Billy could have lived anywhere, the Chancellor place makes no sense, but this is one of the perks for being a FOJ.

Yeah, it would have had made more sense for Jill let Devon and Hilary be caretakers of the mansion and have Hilary live it up big or something before letting Billy move in. 

 

That Shawn story was a colossal waste of time. The show had picked up steam again last month with Victor finally being exposed and the initial fallout but even that is losing its way fast. The other stories lack a great deal of spark it's hard to invest in them.

OMG! Having Hillary lord over Chancellor mansion, while screwing over half of GC would have been brilliant. Well, before this remodel from hell it would have. Now, it's impossible to imagine anyone with two nickles to rub together choosing to live there.

I went online to check out the Chancellor set. I saw Billy and Phyllis sitting in some generic looking blue/grey room. A disgrace to a legacy set.

Right?? I can see Jill and Esther now aghast over Hilary choosing to hang a portrait of herself up next to Katherine's portrait.

what's so funny is that this is one of Jamey Giddons wishful storytelling, with Devon owning the mansion after changing his last name to Chancellor and having Hilary totally glam it up to her style while a furious Jill tries to put a stop to it....

but nope....they just choose to decimate this iconic set all together...

Anyone else think this Shawn baby storyline was aborted? Hard to believe the plan from the beginning was to have her deliver prematurely, then leave a day later with the baby.

Just horrible writing.

Another thing, you deliver a baby prematurely and then leave the following day?

The show is one big incosistency riddle with a thousand smaller ones.

Pretty much.  I'm seeing a pattern with abrupt story conclusions though.  Chloe running over Adam, the Tower fire and Ian's latest appearance, Dr. Anderson's death.  There are a couple others, but in each of these stories, we were all left wondering "Is that it?!?!"
