Has Neil truly paid for his misdeeds?  I haven't watched for awhile so I missed most of the hilary story everyone is mentioning.  If not, maybe having him pay by losing everything would be a good way to repair the character.

 

If Lauren had the have someone in the fen more story....why not Jill instead of Gloria?  Or is this an area Sussman is ignoring?

Jill is going to have her own story soon. If it is anything like Lauren's story or the rest its a disaster just waiting to happen.....I have no faith in Sussman to write a compelling story for any of these characters.

Apart from Dylan In Miami, today worked for me.

 

As always, Sharon Case is doing some good work here and her scenes with DD were nicely done.  I'm glad they didn't have Paul knocking down her door screaming at her.  And I liked her sharing pictures of him with Paul.  These kind of moments is why I love soap.

 

Hilary/Devon was compelling.  I know we've all seen this coming but I like the way it was structured with Mariah telling him what happened with the overlay of the flashback scenes.  I dreaded them getting back to the penthouse, and Devon was pretty harsh with her.  But it was compelling nonetheless. ere I am invested in this couple at this point and am looking forward to seeing where this story takes them.

 

Ravi and Ashley - two thumbs up from this viewer.  The guy playing Ravi has a unique charisma that I hadn't really noticed until today.  I like him.

 

And I'll even say that Jack and Gloria were interesting today.  Gloria hasn't been on a whole lot this week, and I can tolerate her when JC tones it down a bit and isn't on-screen everyday.

 

And the Dylan story - I was buying it when he was in Genoa City.  This move to "Miami" has thrown me off and honestly, it's a miss.  They built up a good exit for the character and if the scenes of him on assignment would have been better produced, it wouldn't have been as jarring and disconnected from the rest of the show.

 I was waiting to see Jill pop up in the Fenmore story. I realize Sally doesn't like the sister connection, and neither do I, but they are both onscreen now so how can she ignore it? It's the elephant in the room when I'm watching. If she wants do undo the connection she should do it, but ignoring it really doesn't work.

 

Jill would have been better than Gloria in the story. Jill can be funny without being over the top. I don't mind Gloria in the background or here and there, but she's too cartoony for me. I'm thrown out of the drama.

But doesn't Jill own 50% of Fenmores? That's the last thing I remembered. If Jill owns half she should be in on looking for a new investor. Lauren has no right no to exclude her. Maybe Chancellor Industries could provide the cash too. She bailed Billy out why not Lauren?

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
