I've been holding my peace on that. Where the hell is Hilary (and Devon)? They were just thrown in the closet. Reeks of the show not knowing where to go from here. 

 

 

I don't think Lauren is being thrown into a totally new story. This is just an entrance story for Scotty. I doubt it lasts 2 weeks.

 

Same goes jill. I think her heart disease story is part of the larger story.

Agreed with Paul/Lauren back together. Have Michael/Christine working together and then....

 

The beauty of Y&R is that there are so many legacy characters/actors with history that enables them to mix things up and not be completely illogical - unlike Jorm, which defies even the wildest Y&R alt universe.

Watched today and here's my question for the writers on the show--WHY MUST SHARON CHASE AFTER A F*CKING MAN?! 

 

Can this regime for once let Sharon be single and find herself? I practically typed up a whole damn story suggestion for Sharon on here about a month ago. For once, I'd want someone to steal an idea of mine and use it. 

 

I am not here for Sharon pining for Nick. Especially, not a few weeks removed from Dylan and Sharon divorcing. Just ugh. 

 

Can Sharon get a job? Find her daddy? Do some intensive therapy? Something other than scheming to win back Nick, thus resulting in another disastrous run between the 2.

Monday was a new low for Sally.  Here we have her first major character intro (Scott) and she introduces him with this lame fake out story with Tracey B. chewing up the scenery with hysterics in a very rare bad performance.  That tells me the writing is shaping up to be some of the worst we've seen dating back to Latham.  At least Latham had a budget and was able to hire new contract actors.  I'm sad the show is headed in this direction.  I don't think Mal is the right EP and Sally is beyond rusty.

Hey now...Jess W. had an awful performance too at the Chancellor Estate. I feel bad for both actress because I am sure they are thrilled to finally have a storyline thus the overacting but Sally is letting them down big time.

I don't blame Tracy or Jess.  The dramatic scenes are poorly written in the first place.  And the actors can't make it work (despite their skills) because there was no logical build up and they have the characters go from zero to 60.  Jill's hospital scenes were really bad: she awakens and her son, Esther and her doc let her have 20 minutes of heart racing hysterics before they tell her she's had a heart attack.  Then the doc lists this litany of bad medical stuff that Jill has suffered, and Jill's still in denial?  No, Jill wanted the mansion; she wanted someone elses life; now she has it and yes, she might neglect her health in this way, but she wouldn't have acted out like a nutty baby about the next chapter.  And now I just got done watching Monday and I see Tues previews:  Colin skulking around in sunglasses in the window less hospital corridors, and Jason Thompson threatening that he changed the locks on the entire Chancellor mansion.  Even the stable????  LOL.  Hey: Billy Abbot, go get the set decorator while you're at it to have them remove all those ridiculous library shelves and ladder.  Kay would never have her living room that way.  The mansion has a library on every floor.

I am sitting here LOL at your entire post because it is so true but sad at the same time. I totally agree. Also, I hate/loathe the new Chancellor Estate....it is so ugly!  It was always a great looking house!

 

They need to get rid of Colin. He is just an awful character. He needs to take Gloria with him.

I wish he had been some rich doctor who came back and helped his mom out with Fenmores. Instead, we got this mess and yes it has been done many many times on other soaps. It is boring and oozes lazy writing by Sally.

The Jill storyline is really bothering me. JW is full of fire and she clearly defies her bio age. Why on earth would any writer want to reign in Jill? The character has had an amazing journey from nothing to social climber eventually evolving into a savvy professional woman. Two constants: Jill is smart and nobody's fool. And, again, Jill is not broke, she got Victoria to overpay to get B&S back. No, Jill wouldn't be collapsing when she found out that Colin hoodwinked her. After she kicked him out, she'd be on the phone with Michael filing for divorce and sicking Christine on him for all sorts of financial crimes. It's a stretch to believe Jill had no clue that Colin has been stealing from her for years now. C'mon Jill knew who she married, you don't think she'd be checking her accounts daily for inaccuracies? 

 

I'm at the point where I want to start DVR-ing it again, just so I can HATE-WATCH because it's so bad.

    • 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.
