He had a whole conversation with Neil about how he doesn't think he can resist her?

 

I think there are good individual scenes and character moments but overall the stories leave me feeling like there's a ton of wasted potential. Jack trying to buy Fenmore's behind everyone's backs could have been months worth of story but instead they shot their wad in a month. And right now, aside from Jill, it's sitting there like a limp dick.

Hilary and Mariah..given their pasts make better frienda/frienmies...then straight enemies.  Pratt had the right idea interacting the two..but went about it the wrong way.

 

Im hoping Hilary opts to divorce Devon like he wants and moves on..

And not begging him to forgive her.  Then we can see them gradually get back together.

 

Phyllis and billy in the elevator.. not a good friday cliffhanger...but it helped me stay on my diet since it made me lose my appetite.  #silverlining

 

Gloria is too over the top....the show has a budget now..and i domt think they can afford set repairs from the amount of scene chewing Judith Chapman is doing.

😂 

 

So I can see your POV.  But I just look at it differently.  Devon confessed that to Neil but he hasn't changed his actions toward Hil.  He's torn, and that's more true to life than his just deciding it's over, moving on without a second thought or regret.   I want to see what happens next for them.

 

As far as Jack, again I see your point but that hasn't cost the story any momentum for me.  There's another facet of the story to take its place, like Jill's involvement.  That's not over yet.

I agree with all you said with one exception. I would be as shocked as I've been with a soap story in 2 decades if Devon and Hilary divorce. Right now, they are both testing each other. Hilary knows devon doesn't want to divorce her so she's presenting him divorce papers to prove her point of not wanting money. Devon is testing hilary by putting her in positions she'd normally balk at to see if she's really changed.  I fully expect them to reunite in grande romantic fashion by end of sweeps. 

 

Jill's part in the Fenmore's story is just starting. I agree there. She's got to overcome whatever issues Colin has put in her way to proceed but i have every faith she will. Her story is just one prong of the entire umbrella story. 

 

I despise Victor but I loved him encouraging Victoria to go after B&S alone without "the grifter and the gambler". This is the first time that her story used the fact that she's got $500M in the bank and the first time I didn't think her having it was detrimental to future story for the show. 

 

I'm liking Gloria's crazy too. I see folks on social media decrying her going to GC Buzz and "lying". But truth is that jack made an agreement with a woman to give her a job, slept with her, and backed out on the deal. That would be a huge TO DO for any CEO or elected official. It's unethical at the least. I'm getting Jack will pay the cost for this like he did when he couldn't run Jabot after the face cream lawsuit. I hope Gloria wins a piece of the pie in court or they have to give her something to shut up the scandal. It's good soap. 

 

The only thing I'm side eyeing is Ravi. I see no appeal there. He's inoffensive and background though so I have no complaints.

Just horrible show....

 

1. Gloria sh!t about Jack. Is she for real?? Why is she still on this show Sally Sussman? Gloria sucks!

 

2. I am so sick of Faith!  She is an awful ungrateful little brat!

 

3. Nick was on today....nuff said

 

4. Dear Lord....Ashley fighting with Phyliss like a school girl.....lord that was bad.....

 

5. Victoria still arguing on the phone with her son about leaving the house....ummmm didn't they already talk it over the day before?

 

6. Victoria p!ssed off at Billy once again because of pure nonsense.

 

7. Hillary is still playing Devon and of course he will fall for it.

 

8. Colin involved in the Jill/Lauren story.

 

9. Realizing the Lauren story was really all about nothing.

IT WAS A HORRIBLE SHOW!!

 

The Gloria stuff was pure bullsh!T!!!!   I can't stand Jack but COME ON!!

10. Victoria being a businesswoman didn't have a clue what to do after Jill's offer. Victor had to tell her to go for the whole pie. Victoria is stupid beyond words.

 

11. Cane making a play for the entire Brash & Sassy.....NO ONE CARES ABOUT CANE!!  Why give him any sort of story? He should be gone from this soap!!

 

 

I am about to turn off Y&R for good!

Honestly, you should turn it off. You're complaining about everything on the show. Every little thing. If it's this bad for you, time to walk away or take a break.

 

For me, GMac's comments make sense in every respect. I thought this was a good week and that Friday's show was great. It's not perfect, but I'm really happy with YR right now.

I'm giving it another month and if continues being awful I will turn it off. The ratings since they took over haven't been anything to write home about. Sally Sussman continues on focusing on the wrong characters. Her writing style hasn't changed either. It is boring as hell.

 

Cane + Gloria + Pod Victoria/Billy nonsense continuous scens + Collin + Ashley's new romance = Comma Inducing Boredom

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.

      TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

      You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

      "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva.

      But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

      Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
