I can't stand Gloria either. I've never liked her. JVA was in the role such a short time that it could have been a better character had she stayed.

Following on my complaint upon reading the synopsis for Tuesday (US), I decide to see if the executive was as awful as it sounded. For the first time since pre-Pratt, I actually stopped the DVR and deleted the episode as soon as Gloria started trashing Fenmores in the steamroom. The Nick/Noah scenes made no sense and Faith and Victor playing chess to classical music? Ugh. Chloe in a trenchcoat at a police station? EH looks great, but seriously seeing Kevin and Chloe rolling around was icky. 

 

Sorry, but for a show with as many rich and long-standing characters, actors and history, there is zero excuse for this level of boredom. NONE. Trying to slow-burn Villy only to undo it when Bella's paternity is revealed doesn't work. A suddenly single and free Phyllis - looking as hot as ever - has ZERO male prospects? How about a hot hook-up with the investor from Chicago in the steamroom to kick-off her new outlook on life? Ugh. I'm so disappointed.

The only way these Gloria shenanigans can payoff is if Lauren (not Michael, not Kevin, not Phyllis) discovers that Gloria sabotaged her negotiations and a confrontation ensues where Lauren reads the hell out of Gloria and personally tells her mother-in-law to stay the hell out of her business and warns her of the consequences of meddling ever again.

As a result, if Gloria truly gets 'the boot' from the Fenmores storyline, then I can see there being some rationale to all of this scenery chewing.

 

Lauren needs agency in her own storyline and grabbing the onus away from Gloria and putting her foot down with everyone else and becoming the real Boss Lady could help finally establishing Lauren as the focus of this story.

 

Having *itch Lauren show herself might be a start.

Its terrible how wasted Gina Tognoni is on the show. I think her contract is up this year. She deserves much better then this crap. SallUGH is the worst hack i think i have ever seen in omy life.

An example of Gina having amazing material written by Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman. SallUGH should take note.

Ugh....why did SS think we'd want to see Gloria again??

 

 

Is her stay long term or short term? I thought it was short term? I know someone posted her return on the spoiler thread.

    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
