I like AH. I know it's an understatement that this is an unpopular opinion, but oh well, it's how I feel. I respect that everyone else doesn't. 

 

I miss Cassie too but in all honesty I do believe that the storyline with Cassie's death was a good one especially regarding Sharon, Nick, and Daniel. I thought the storyline was well done. It's what came after this storyline that was pretty bad and started my longtime hatred of Phyllis and Nick as characters. I'm okay enough with both characters again, but it took a long, long time. This was also the start MS over the top acting that grated my nerves.

 So yeah, because of this, I wish they hadn't killed off Cassie.

 

Old background music would have heightened the drama of yesterday's episode, but sadly I get the feeling that that ship has sailed. I feel it would have been one of the first things Mal Young would have reinstated when he came on, and now especially with SS. And it has yet to happen so maybe they never plan to, or maybe they're being refused.

I  think they could still write in how Cassie death effects Sharon life. 

 

& Victoria, I never picture her with kids because she was all about business. She felt like if she didn't have kids her chance was better to take over NE. So, they let Nick have all the kids. Or at least let her have one child by a man that is ruthless then Victor. Victor needs good competition, not that tired ass Jack.

 

I was highly upset that Victoria got pregnant by somebody like JT only because she & the guy who played JT was dating IRL.

Fridays US episode was very good and had the ability to set up a lot of good conflict. It was reassuring to see Nikki and Victor right back (with Jill on the way it seems) and the Newmans being written in such a way that I liked watching them. 

 

Amelia Heinle has the ability to be a tolerable Victoria. Back when Brad and Sharon slept together there were a handful of episodes where Amelia Heinle exhibited shades of Heather Tom's furious and bitchy Victoria. She's never done it since but I know she has it in her. Victoria hasn't been written in character since Heather Tom left. I have hope that can improve. But she's an inferior actress - Emmy awards and her personal life be damned. 

 

The lack of signature background music has been an issue for so long you have to wonder who dictated that change. It isn't as if the music is dated - most of it was instrumental (albeit with some synthesizer). It was a major part of the look and feel of Y&R. It needs to return.

I really hope they are waiting for some arrangement....with Sally's EP credit, I certainly hope Mal isn't blocking the possibility of the old music being restored....I mean the camerawork is a lot better and I think that is Sally's credit...

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
