So true.  I so dig Diva Dina.  :-)

 

The pacing is still so off.  The same stories featured practically everyday this week.  Ugh.  It's hard to tell what the A/B/C stories are when they are presented so randomly week after week.  Oh, correction.. Hilary seems to be a B story these days

I enjoyed the flashbacks and I really liked ED's hair style in those scenes. 

 

I just can't buy The Great Philly Love Story.  Yes, JT/GT have chemistry but it doesn't mean they have to write them as some kind of The Purest Love That Ever Existed.  It makes me want to hurl.  Just write them as two people that enjoy fuckin one another.  I can't sit through listening them proclaim their love for each other every damn day.

I had to come home yesterday and today around Y&R time to check on my pup so I caught most of episodes:

 

1) yesterday was really the 1st time Dina was mentioned even though it's been out for weeks that she's coming back? And they spent every convo trashing her? Victor/Abby talking about Dina like they were strangers. Ash/Dina flashbacks and Ash with 'you got that right' response A++

2) Dina doesn't know that Devon is her closest friend's grandson? Please. 

3) JC is so much more effective when she turns it down 10 notches. Even though Jorm is inconceivable, those scenes were better than I would've imagined.

4) Love Philly but thumbs down on Phyllis being insecure about Billy of any man

5) Marla Adams always been a class act. If only they could get her back and be the matriarch of Abbotts and GC's grand dame. 

6) Is Vane next?

 

Still don't have that tune in tomorrow feel at all, but it was watchable.

I don't really love seeing Phyllis insecure over a man either, but it's par for the course. I can't think of a single relationship where she's come off as stable and secure.  With Jack she was worrying over Diane and with Nick she was obsessed with worry over Sharon (with good reason).

 

I hope Devon and Neil win the fight for Dina's company. That's all I got.

you're wishing death on a person over a role they play on a tv show? really?

I just had a very brief twitter convo with one of the actors on the show....and this person is NOT happy with the writing for their character. I won't say who....but time is NOW getting to the point that SSM needs either help fixing certains stories of the show, or down the line....changes may need to be made. still enjoying certain aspects, but others....like Billy and Phyllis....are really not my cup of tea right now.

Victoria being upset about Billy lying to her is a joke. The writing is horrible for Victoria. She is a hypocrite and shouldn't be throwing any kind of hissy fit at Billy. She has been a total bitch to him.

That could be anyone on the canvas because all the stories stink. I am going to guess its Daniel Goddard. His character is being written like a female little bitch.....

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role
