I like Ravi, and his scenes with Eileen, his friends, and BM. I don't get all the hate.  Abhi Sinha shows up and plays the part just fine.  Maybe it's the writing for him that people don't like.  Maybe it's the actor.  Most people were complaining before he was on the air/first week or so. 

 

Actors like AH that have phoned it in for more than 10 years are the ones that need to go.  Actors like DG whose story should have ended when he was killed off several years ago, should go.

And how long has it been since Kevin was dumped and found out he was duped by Chloe and he is already going to the movies with his gal pal?

I like Abhi Sinha also. I'm curious as to whether people don't like the actor or the presence of the character or the storyline?

 

Although, at times it seemed contrived, I do think 'Ravi' seemed more alive when he was around his friends, which makes me wonder what he'd be like if there were more scenes between Ravi and his peers, of which there are few in GC, TBH.

Just reminds me that even though we see characters share scenes every now and then, characters are often still in their own bubbles/cliques.

It's time for Ravi to branch out and have scenes with people other than Phyllis. He came alive with his NYC friends, why not have his buddy visit GC? Why not a sister/brother? If he's sticking around, he needs some friends. I nominate Devon or Scott. 

 

Enter scene...Noah is tending bar with Devon as his only current patron. Ravi walks up to the bar, Noah introduces them and soon all three are commiserating about the women in their pasts(Marisa, Hilary)and the women they are falling for (Tessa, Mariah, and Ashley). It doesn't amount to much, but new friendships are formed.  Later interaction at the coffeeshop, assorted other locations doesn't seem forced. Devon has two actual male friend on canvas to be in scenes with besides his father, and he doesn't just show up wherever Mariah (and Hilary) are.

 

Just some thoughts to expand on characters on canvas.

Been busy with a new position as a state investigator(more on that later...) but was just wondering what the overall feeling on current Y&R is under SSM. For me its a mixed bag and really does remind of the 2012-2014 era under first Griffin and then Altman/Passanante. It is ultimately more to the level of "mildly enjoyable banality"(and that is putting it nicely!) as far opposed to than "Damn, that's good TV!" 

 

I was glad the MCE and CH surprisingly saved the Chloe reveal from being a complete embarrassing debacle.

They should definitely give Ravi some friends outside of the Jabot crew (Ashley/Phyllis). I wouldn't mind him becoming friends with Mariah, Devon, or Noah. I like the actor, and the character has potential as he's neither a Abbott or Newman.

      5-16   Build, build, build. So much of it going on and not bored by any of it. A story continued to be the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. And I'm happy to see that the fallout made it all the way through the week with C plots being built up to B plots. And then little subplots (Dani's business, Vanessa and her roleplaying games) to keep in mind.    Now that I've watched it several times...all I can think of seeing Silk Press Sheila with NuTed is hmmmm. Honestly, while I felt Trish and Maurice had chemistry, I always felt character-wise that SilkPress and Maurice's Ted would never get back together. At most, I could see them having hate sex. However, SilkPress with Keith's Ted...how to word this...I feel like...in spite of all of her scheming...she has a chance of getting him back given how Trish and Keith interact with each other. And I feel like she's giving 90s DAYS Sami Brady with Austin Peck's Austin where Sami would be playing it to the hilt and Austin...even when he knew better...would STILL be falling for her tricks. Or even when Sami would be somewhat redeemed and he had a 'right' to like her, it would end badly cuz she did something. That was the vibe I got from the SilkPress/NuTed scenes. Keith's Ted definitely came across as a romantic lead in a triangle versus Maurice's Ted where even though he messed up, I saw him only having eyes for Nicole. So...Hmmmmmm. Mind you, I don't see Keith's Ted as stupid/dumb like Austin Peck's version of Austin on DAYS.   Kat being on the case and looking into Laura's accident and giving her recording to Jacob also continue to spin the story into its next logical direction...even if Kat has it tagged on the wrong person. The walls may be closing in on SilkPress, but like she said a while back...she still has tricks up her own sleeves. And I just know the rivalry between Kat and Eva ain't over so this is just another match to the fire. And it'll be good to see Jacob in cop mode. Then Nicole still dealing with her own feelings and wanting to sell the house. Good scenes with her and Vanessa.   And while that was all going on...the plots around them...   1) MARTIN'S SECRET. I have enjoyed how Bill's little seed has been growing in Smitty's mind. And Smitty's being in reporter mode. His scenes with Nicole to see if he was right to be second guessing himself was well-done. I didn't get it at first viewing, because I would think he would be happy that Martin backed down. But I'm seeing it through his reporter eyes, and I get it. And of course, I live for Smitty's scenes with Bill. And Bill is just getting too much glee with messing with Martin and Smitty.    2) ANITA'S STORY. Yassss!!! Oh, Vernon...how I love you. I really enjoyed seeing him slowly coax Anita into calling yet another bandmate. I felt CD and TT were really giving how a relationship can be. And I enjoyed it. Of course, I enjoy that it's clear that Anita wears the pants in that relationship...not that Vernon don't have his moments. They just complement each other so well.   3)MS. JUNE. Outside of the fact that I thought that surgery happened too quickly, good to see her out of surgery. Not to mention seeing Nosy Nurse. Say what you want about her ability to get the tea, but she's really great at her job, and it's great to see.    Well...Doug still has a week. Dani and Pamela are still working on a business. Vanessa is still playing. And it's nice to see those threads still around. But not a major focus yet. And it all still flowed.   And of course...a Friday cliffhanger with Jacob taking Silk Press Sheila down to the station.   So great week of soap overall for me. It doesn't seem like today's episode is going to be loaded on my system until tomorrow. But I guess that is what apps are for.

      It's sad she can't be a part of his on-screen tribute somehow.

      I feel the same. I didn’t expect to care about them but the chemistry is strong and I’d love to see them go public and try to make it work.

      Keith D. Robinson has a lot less screen presence so far than Maurice Johnson had, but I think he's probably a much better technical actor.  I couldn't be happier we're finally moving along with the caucasians. Andre and Ashley better be f*cking by the end of the week, or so help me, just to move the story along even quicker. That's the second time there's been a hint that Dani will get involved with the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story somehow. Maybe it'll happen in response to Andre/Ashley getting together?

      I have this STRONG feeling that if they put Derek opposite a Kat, Eva, Chelsea, or Shanice, I would NOT be surprised to see him pop and shine. Ashley, on the other hand, has Andre and the actress cannot even sell that pairing. I am really starting to believe that Ashley is the problem and might need to become a year 1 casualty.
