Finally got a chance to see the show. Poor Sharon will be crying over Dylan's badge for the next 6 months. 

 

I still don't know who thought it was a good idea to put Kevin in law enforcement. And who wrote the IT guy as Dylan's POC. Hard time digesting that. 

 

I thought the way Devon found out was lackluster. Hilary saw them talking but didn't rush over to pull Devon away. That didn't make an ounce of sense. She had ample time to prior to her phone call. Bryton played those scenes well. How many actors on this show would have totally forgotten that their character was hurting and dropped the thread in the heat of the moment. He consistently plays that throughout. I thought Bryton and Mishael elevated a weak script yet again. So much has happened between Devon ans Hilary in 3 years and none of it was mentioned. *sigh* I despair over these scriptwriters. They are such a weak link. But I did think the confrontation was compelling. Hilary tried her usual tricks and none worked.  She knows this is different. That part did work. 

 

The show is doing a good job building Ravi. Instead of pairing him with Mariah or Abby or even Ashley, I'm getting the feeling his perfect parents will pick out the perfect Indian girl for him. I'm expecting her to arrive sometime by the end of the year. 

 

Overall, I enjoyed the show though. So that's all that matters. I want to know what happens to dylan and how that effects Sharon.  I want to know if devon will forgive hilary. I care.  The show has done it's job.

The show did the same with Chelsea then turned around and had her get pregnant like a month later. Lol

 

It'd be typical of the show to do that though. So i can definitely see a miscarriage. But for some reason I am not thinking this is a redemption story for Hilary. I don't necessarily think the show wants her redeemed but rather have the audience accept her how she is and allow Devon to remain with her regardless. So, I'm thinking she has this baby to facilitate that. It was him wanting a baby, not her. Maybe she hides it for a while to see if he takes her back cause she doesn't want him with her just for a baby. That'a very un-vixen like but I can see them pulling that.

They gave lily one of each cause she'd never have another. 19 and sterile. What a mess! I also think they decided that the next generation needed a boy and a girl and they NEVER planned on Devon having any cause he wasn't ever going to have a real romance. If hevon does have this kid, I wouldn't be shocked if they killed off one of lily's so little Katie van get a new kidney. No, no...it'll be Faith. 

 

But only newmans are allowed more than one kid. Anyone else who has more than one didn't have the others on canvas when the younger were born. Look at Michael and Lauren, Ashley, Tracy, etc.

    • 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.
