You know, I could see a scenario where the rest of the family uncovers Jack and Gloria's affair and decides to host an intervention of sorts.  Jack, of course, would be resistant to the idea of ending things with Gloria (even though, deep down, he knows they're right) and ends up popping the question.  That's when Dina shows up -- for the wedding, and then stays a bit longer after realizing her son isn't entirely over Phyllis (who is now with Ravi, whom Ashley is pining for).

It truly is too bad. Wish they could undue all JFP did.

I can't with Gloria being involved with Jack. I am having such a difficult time believing they would go there when he was always so disgusted by her.

 

I LOVE Jordan much better than Cane...He seems to have a better chemistry with Lily. Cane is so blah, not sexy at all. I just can't understand what they see in Cane. He did much worse than most characters. He gaslit Lily so bad and he pretended to be Phillip but besides that I think he is sleazy.

 

Neil needs a good woman. I had hopes for Leslie I always thought Nia Long as a part of the soap and a good character she would be an excellent match for Neil...Not to mention she can act and also is so beautiful.

 

Lauren is over the top with that acting. She also dresses trashy and not sexy which is a huge difference. There is also age appropriate sexy as well. Her hair looks weird too.

I'm actually enjoying Y&R and its characters. Surprised at all the negativity, but I guess you can't please everyone.

 

The stories right now are mostly background, and I think the writers are still trying to map out what they want to do long-term. The truth is SS is it for Y&R. After her, there will be no more Y&R IMO. I think that's why CBS brought her back, kind of like a swan song. They'll give Y&R maybe another 2-3 years, and trust that Sally will give the Y&R fans the ending they need. 

 

I see a lot of hate for Gloria and Judith Chapman, and for me Gloria has added some excitement/humor to the show again. She is not eating the show like when she first started. Yes, the actress is over the top (but sometimes I miss the theatrics of say Liz Hubbard), but I think this time around it works. Chapman and Bergman seem to really enjoy working together, and have become great screen partners. 

 

I'm actually liking Victor. After the over the top antics, I like that the writers have toned him down and put him in the background for now.

 

If Keemo ever returns, it's best they undo him being Jack's son.

 

The writing for Victoria is actually decent these days, but Amelia Heinle is just low energy. It would be great if Chapman could give her just 10% of hers. I also must say the introduction of Reed and writing for him has been good too.

I had the show on in the background while I was doing some things around the house.  But yes, she did.  It's bad.  Really bad.

 

I fail to see what TPTB see in the Colin character and his relationship with Jill.  It wasn't good under MAB.  Forgotten about under JFP.  And now this.  It's really a disservice to Jill and IMO a better story would be her and Jack.  

 

Its past time Colin and his spawn go back Down Under.

    • I find the black & white episodes FAR more atmospheric and spooky than the color episodes.   The first few months of Dark Shadows move ploddingly slow when you're binge-watching, with entirely too much repetition and exposition.  But as someone noted above, it's the only time in the show when you get much character development.  After the 1795 sequence, it's pretty much like "just make something up; nobody cares."   The series essentially became self-parody with the overload of monsters & ghoulies.  I was watching a scene one time in which the Witch was attempting to stop the Phoenix from staking the Vampire, and I got tickled at the absurdity of three "monsters" in one scene.  
    • So cool!!!   And that picture is fierce!!!    
    • Just glancing through, it does remind me that I really need to catch up. Sounds like the new writing team have been off to a good start.    
    • Loved Katie's reaction to seeing Philip beaten up and near death.
    • I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.
    • 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.
