Today was so so.  Not bad, not great.

 

I actually like the opera stuff and the montage at the end of the episode.  

 

The Phyllis/Scott stuff was not good, I hope this isn't a future pairing.  They simply don't work.  The actor in the role is attractive and pretty fuckin sexy.  Give him other options than Phyllis' Grand Central Station uterus.  Lauren smothering Scott is... idk.  Something seems off to me.  

 

Now Juliet...she has the potential to be an interesting bad girl.  DG was painful to watch today.  The worst hangover in history.  Why is he still on this show?

 

We all knew that a Transformed Ravi was coming and here he is.  I think he was cuter with the glasses :-)

I don't like Cane, but I actually didn't mind DG that much today. I think he's a credible actor.

 

Really not liking the Scotty/Lauren/Phyllis stuff and agree that Scotty and Phyllis failed today's chem test. I'm really over Phyllis at this point.

Ha...and I actually liked Phyliss and Scotty. The setup was lame as hell. Scotty not knowing how to make a blog. Really?? He is a skilled writer and he doesn't know how to start up a blog??.....Whatever

 

They sure were laying it thick with Ravi. I've never seen any chemistry whatsoever with Ashley. Even Nikki telling Ashley how great he was just icing on the cake. Never will care for them as a couple.

 

Cane needs to go away and we got exposed to his grandpa boobs again....yuck.

 

Lily needs protection so Mr. Photograph stays overnight....ok whatever...pure plot so Cane can walk in on them....

 

The previews for tomorrow's show looked awful with Cane and daddy and Gloria back again.....

Gloria hasn't been on everyday, and the show needs an antagonist so her presence isn't that much of a turn off for me.  Granted, there have been times that they have used her too much but not so much right now.

 

Everyone can't be a goody two shoes or fan favorites.

Pretty much over the whole Soapsuds jihad against SSM. Dissenting opinion is all well and good if communicated in a respectful manner, but when it turns completely vitriolic, there's only so much that can be tolerated before the line gets drawn.

 

He and JONNYSBRO sound exactly like each other nowadays, hence why they are both on my ignore list. Certainly makes my thread reading that tad more bearable.

Yet, you talk about me even though you have me in ignore. Don't really give a damn. I guess I shall come in here and say who I have on ignore. But I won't. There are other posters here less respectful to others. I've never bashed anyone for liking the show. The show is bad and I am going to continue saying it whether you like or not. It's a boring mess of a soap with nothing going on featuring the same useless repetitive characters like Victoria and Billy.....Cane.....Cane's Dad and others. Sally promised good old Bell days and she hasn't produced.

 

And If you think the show is so great ....name one great story going on right now or one that lasts more than three weeks or has any damn build up.

That could be said about many in the cast now. Lauren was suppose to get a big story that would take her back to her roots. I am still waiting for that story.

Could be especially if SS and MY don't feel as if they have the clout that a Bill Bell Sr. had to go up against the networks and hold his ground.

 

Y&R seems to like to maintain a sort of patriarchy in their storytelling over the last 10 years, with the men in the dominant storyline positions (Victor, Jack).  If there is a change toward characters like Jill and Lauren having the A storylines there may be some resistance to that from the network.

 

It seems sad and ridiculous that this would happen in a medium that has historically had a large female audience but there it seems to be.

    • 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
