Steve Kent should rehire Jill Farren Phelps she had that knack for goosing ratings up. Honestly Sally is faltering but i am starting to think mal is a weak EP. Hes not doing anything to drive any story out of her..how the hell did Sally have gall to diss Lynn Latham when her stuff is worse.

Yup, her hysteria makes zero sense. I agree Jill is full of gusto and this story is NOT for her.

Your comment reminded me of these episodes of the Cosby Show which are my favorites. Claire goes off the rails on both and discusses the wilderness...LOL

I agree with you, allmc2008. Scott has been mentioned the past couple weeks. As you said, posters are either skipping shows or ff through supposed "boring" scenes.

 

I'd like to know how people would prefer Scott be introduced if they hate this no build up story. Would they prefer he just show up on Lauren's doorstep? No, that's another no build up. Bottom line, I think complaining about stuff like this is ridiculous.

 

Complaints abound about EVERYTHING. Sally has become quite the whipping post, no matter what she does.

 

Gloria hasn't been on for a few days so let's complain that she'll probably appear tomorrow. Lets complain about Sharon again chasing after a man even though we don't know that's going to happen. Let's complain about the Scotty storyline and say it's ending the Fenmore business story even though we don't know tears going to happen. LET'S COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FRICKIN LADDER AND BOOKS IN THE CHANCELLOR LIVING ROOM.  MY.  GOD.

 

I'm enjoying the show and think Sally is doing just fine. I know I'm  the minority here, but I feel the need to break up the funeral every once in a while.

I'm sure you won't have to worry about my complaining because if the ratings continue to sink....Sally will be gone really soon!  She will sink herself with her boring no stories writing.

 

Name one good story she is telling right now. None of them are great or even good enough that someone on here would praise.

I don't mind the Jill or Scott story as I care about who's involved.

 

The show still has problems but some of you IMO are being a bit too nitpicky. But Y&R was never *my show* so some things aren't as big of a problem for me but yet I nitpick DAYS to absolute death so I get it.

I am not a follower of writers on the soaps, but I know when I'm enjoying a soap or not.  Right now, I'm really enjoying the new characterizations of so many of the cast.  The Marco story did it in for me and all the subsequent storylines about Victor.  I'm actually enjoying the Newmans.

Agreed. But that's the problem with soaps anymore though. They need to make you care and be invested. They write to their fanbase. I sometimes try and look at soaps as someone who's not into them and I say this about character returns all the time ... what about that new viewer who doesn't have a clue who Steve and Kayla are (yeah I'm bringing DAYS characters into the discussion). Why would they care about them being re-introduced 15 years later if you don't make the audience care again or fall in love with them again? I'm not really explaining it as well as I could because I'm in a rush but I think most of you probably get what I'm trying to say.

 

But for those who have watched the show and care about Lauren, wouldn't you care about her son as well?

 

And both the Scott and Jill stories HAVE had build up. I totally get why they chose Jill. It's not a story about "reigning her in".

    • 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.
