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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

      Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.

      I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.

      I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.

      They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.
