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.

      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.
