I have to say - unpopular opinion I'm sure....but Jill's yelling and screaming - changed channel.  I guess I haven't been paying attention, but when has Colin even been on? Or been trustworthy?  Why would she be surprised??  It's just pathetic to watch.  So bad I turned on CNN to see what #45 had to say.

It was aweful!  Quite a bit of Sally's stuff is coming off as bad comedy skits. 

 

Was that really a POV?  A wise person pointed out on Twitter that Cane listens to Lily bitch and moan ad nauseum about Hillary (well over a year consistently) but he can't rant or get her support?

This is so cute. I have more fun watching them as friends than I do watching Esther with her own daughter. Jill has very few friends so I like seeing her with someone who she normally wouldn't think of if anybody else would deal with her. I've been enjoying Jill's storyline but the execution of the Colin part was rushed and I feel honestly like an episode was deleted from my DVR. I understand her perspective, but he has none and even from her perspective it's too soon. I needed more development for his motives and more of a build up from her happiness with him and with her business dealings so the fallout would be more powerful. I'm very disappointed. Everybody has had their complaints, but this is the first time I'm truly disappointed with Sally. This was a bad execution of a great idea.

 

In other parts of Genoa City....

 

- Sharon's emotional breakdown is very well played. I loved the flashbacks of her thinking of the bad things she's done, I loved her lashing out at Nikki, the tough moment with Victor and the scenes with Faith. I feel like it's very balanced and it's making me love Sharon again. I haven't been this invested in over ten years. Right now they've succeeded in making me root for Sharon and want her to be happy and be loved, which is important in a soap.

 

- Abby as Victor's protege is...unique. I like the idea but they need more investment in Abby to make it work. She is a dayplayer. She needs friends and a love interest. Newman also needs more extras or people for her to interact with. It feels so hallow there these days. Why doesn't anybody work at Newman anymore? 

 

- Ravi continues to be my soap crush. I don't want a damn makeover or anything because he is so cute, unique and sexy as is. He is everything. Has chemistry with Gloria, Jack, Ashley and Phyllis. I want Phyllis to be his best friend. I just can't say enough positive about him. He is the future leading man of Y&R if they're smart. He brings good comedy and I love when he gets serious which is when the sex appeal comes in. They need to just keep going and INVEST. Right now the writers need to be crafting how to bring his family on. By the end of the year I want him in a relationship and at least one family member to join him.

      I agree with all of this except I loved Leslie with Jacob. It was the old Leslie to me. She was so soft in her scenes with NuTed on Friday, I preferred the return to form.

      7th Heaven reboot in the works

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Charmed and Party of Five didn't do too good with the diverse concept...  I doubt 7th Heaven will either. Perhaps maybe do a diverse show about a female minister and her husband and call it something other than 7th Heaven.  I know it's going out on a limb to actually come up with something different and to title it differently.

      The writers need to reign in Vanessa' character... I can see the actress is trying to reign in the character.. but the writing isn't helping her in her quest. Dani has been going on and on and on about being insecure since the end of her marriage for 55 episodes.. and I'm sick of it.  She's in bed with a younger attractive man and she won't shut up about her insecurities.  I want to tell Andre that the sex isn't worth being tied to this emotional vampire.  No wonder Bill cheated on her (and I do sometimes side with the cheater). I'm really hoping Derek/Ashley are breaking up soon because she's been a total witch and he can do so much better.  Have him in another scene with Hayley or even a 1:1 with Shanice.     I think that's a Danielle Paige quirk.  Her novels are all about symbolism, and she did say that Claire Labine mentored her at Guiding Light.

      The wonderful Sarah Buxton returns as Morgan DeWitt tomorrow in the S18 YouTube episodes. Shame she didn’t get a longer stint.

      Not to harp on, and I don't know if it's always been there and I just noticed it today, but why the hell does Ashley have her microwave on top of the fridge? What sense does that make? Irrationally, It made her more intolerable than she already was in this episode.

      Yes, to all of it. You really brought up many of the points I thought of during the episode and forgot in my own post. The photo should have been Eva and Ted together.  The calling off work was really stupid for a fight over some scratches that didn't even end in some ultimatum fight. If anything that's when you do go go work to get your mind off of it. It was just really stupid.  And great point about the cleaning products and lack of product placement. Huge missed opportunity.  Cady needs to let that accent go. It's cringe.  Overall, it was a bad episode and I haven't felt this strongly about an episode yet.
