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.

    • 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.
