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.

    • 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
