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.

    • https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/19/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-take-control-gaza-uk-france-canada-threaten-action    Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will “take control” of all Gaza, as three key allies attacked his “egregious” escalation of the military campaign and blockade on humanitarian aid. Britain, France and Canada attacked Israel’s expansion of its war as disproportionate, described conditions in Gaza as “intolerable” and threatened a “concrete” response if Israel’s campaign continues. finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel’s army would “wipe out” what remains of Palestinian Gaza.  “Now we conquer, cleanse and stay" ---------------------------- My thoughts: This is genocide, ethnic cleansing.  It's just evil and there's no excuse for it.  I'm glad Canada, France, and UK are making a statement, and I hope they back it up. There are some Israeli citizens who don't support what Netanyahu is doing, and I hope they are able to enact some positive change from within.
    • -- I'm not unhappy that Nina and Carly had a bad fight including slapping and tackling and falling down. But geez, all that insane SCREAMING was over the top. It was three minutes of shrieking, and I thought it was all too much. -- And ANOTHER day of Dante ripping Gio and Gio again discussing his sins and failures. Make it end already. -- In the previews, Gio is walking the Nurses Ball red carpet with Joss. Uh...why??? I don't know why Joss is there at all. Doesn't she have some secret agent stuff to do? -- Chase is at the end of the previews, yelling into the phone "You want me to do WHAT???"  My guess is that's another fakeout that there's something important going on, and that Chase got a call to perform at the Nurses Ball. This show....
    • Watching...   For the most part, today's show is boring and trending on fast-forwarding scenes.
    • I figured that they would take Kat in this direction with men for the time being. I like those small bits of history from Tomas, but I still have not warmed up to him yet. A Pamela/Vanessa feud could be worth the watch.

    • Part of me wishes Sarah Whiting had been exposed as a fraud, someone who claims to be Len and Patti's foster child, but whom Patti exposes right off the bat when she arrives in Henderson.
    • I agree, and I think both could be true: Jane Wyman needed to reduce her work schedule due to health concerns, and CBS/Lorimar took advantage of that in order to cut costs, too.
    • It's quite confusing what she's doing with her character. I'm not from the DMV, but what is that accent? Is she pulling a Dorit? Also, why are Dani and Pamela acting like they're broke. They don't have any money aside to start up a business? With their background in the modeling world, why would they even need a physical studio? They have connections (and Dani wasn't afraid to mention it when she was tasked to replace Chelsea in the fashion show when Chels pulled out). They can literally use Dani's small catwalk in her house to test potential models. They can easily scout online using social media. It's 2025! Dani is supposedly a recognized model from her day, then have her act like it. I know some people are saying it's a stretch, but in the 90s there were plenty of models that graced covers and runways with the likes of Naomi and Christie that were never as big, but they still rubbed elbows had successful careers. Dani could easily fall into that category. Also, it's not like a lot of the big name 80s and 90s models didn't go on to live very typical lives after their moment faded...why couldn't Dani be that. 
    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station.
