JT in my opinion - I didn't know anything of him but apparently he was loved on GH - but he's just not Billy.  I have noticed they really haven't had Victor really interacting much with him (although I'm glad Victor has been off burner - it's been needed for years)....but if he were really riding Billy with this actor - I just don't see it.  Abby is horrible....I only started peeking in back when Marcy Rylan took on the role because I had been a Guiding Light fan and I thought she was a hoot as Lizzie on GL.  From what I saw she was pretty good as Abby.  This one is just blah. 

 

Billy has a lack of chemistry with every girl he's kind of been paired up with on Y&R.  I didn't see much a spark with Phyllis either.  Everything on this show is just in a holding pattern.

 

I get the need for slowing things down and character repair, but to me, there's damage still going on.  At this point, if Paul were killed off - I wouldn't care.  They've written him into a crotchety bore.  His scenes at times make zero sense....I don't feel any sympathy at all for him re: Dylan.  And then his scenes with Sharon - pretty much heartless. 

 

Y&R back in the day moved slowly...really took a long time to build up....but SOME things happened week to week.  Stories DID move here and there.  It's just a snoozefest right now.  Honestly.....I can't even name one real STORY that actually IS going on right now.  Dylan and the sting operation?  That was short lived and now done.  Reed the troubled male teen?  Feh.  Billtoria angst?  Something with Fenmores.  Gloria busybody?  GC Buzz?   Faith at Sharon's, Faith at Nick's, Faith at Victor/Nikki's?  I mean, there's nothing going on here.

Ive always thought that AH just didnt Victoria..and i always thought it was just the writinf.  Now that the writing has improved, she still isnt right for the part...and today during the photo shoot...I realized why.

 

AH comes across so awkward and insecure...even when the writing calls for Victoria to act like herself.  Victoria was always confident, snooty and sure of herself....even if the audience knew that what she was confident about would blow up in her face.  AH cant play those emotions...no matter how much the writing calls for it.  Thats why her character on AMC..Mia started off as a confident con artist..but quickly changed to an indecisive and clingy.  Shed be perfect as Katie on Bold.

I actually feel AH being terrible is the one thing we all can agree on LOL.  I say that because I have dreams about me and her having a three way with Josh Morrow.  I think she is DIVINE.  A Goddess.  I truly feel that RS and EF should be on as her sisters and I wish CONSTANCE FORD were alive because she was just as divine as the others.

I just wanted to slap him today with all of that whining over Brash and Sassy.  It's business. No one cares how much it means to you to own it, if you do not have the funding.

Ugh!

 

Ashley was good today. I'm glad to see her taking change and telling Jack how it's going to be.

You won't get much disagreement from most on here about her. Her lack of ability shows. It has for a long time. She's not Victoria. Even watching Heather Tom in opening credits from 1999 STILL tell me THAT is Victoria Newman.

 

I've always said Tom and Heinle should have switched spots a long time ago.

    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying. 
    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
