Immediately, I start to wonder about this too. I wouldn't be opposed to this especially since Lane bores me to tears and Villy appear to lack chemistry (also, I keep imagining JT as Nick Newman, which gives me an unsettling feeling when seeing AH and JT visually presented as a couple).

I caught the scene on Tuesday (US) where Jack said something like 'we'd never abandon our children' to Ashley. Keemo and Kyle are having a good laugh.

 

10-1 Dina reveals Ashley is John's bio child, which would be a mistake. They didn't do tests and I don't recall a reason to test Ashley/Abby against Abbott blood. So, they'll reconcile similar to Neil/Victor and their mothers, a not so-subtle-hint already dropped. All this will be done within the next 3 weeks. 

 

One other thing: "Adam didn't suffer" because he didn't die. I was leaning to Chloe changing her mind and freeing Adam, which is why she kept ring, but I'm thinking this regime changed it to Victor knowing, which is why he let Chloe go. Even the threat of jail wouldn't stop Victor from dropping the hammer on the killer of one of his children.

I caught that too and I immediately thought of Keemo and wanted to guffaw. Were the writers intentionally trying to show up Jack as a hypocrite? Or are they that clueless that they would believe that we simply wouldn't remember?!

They wouldn't have to be a forever couple, especially seeing that most of the current couples on the canvas are only temporary and lack staying power anyway.

 

If it could be written in a way that we're never sure whether Cane really cares or is trying to 'climb the ladder' and maybe make partner or grab more of BNS for himself and is using Victoria to get it. Perhaps for Victoria, he's a rebound and a relationship of convenience.

To be honest, the real interest would be the relationship between Lily and Cane/Victoria with Lily and Cane's children, who now look like they could be headed to college (I know they're still young teens now).

 

I realize that none of Y&R's recent writing regimes seem capable of pulling off this type of storyline and imbuing it with any degree of complexity but what else do they have?  Another godawful triangle??  

 

These characters/actors don't look to be going anywhere so might as well try to do something with them. More middle of the day couch sex for Cane and Lily ain't gonna cut it.

I've never cared for Cane. He was a con artist and his story should've ended there. Instead for some reason TPTB thought he was good enough to keep. IMO he should have been gone years ago. Nothing I have seen after all these years has changed my mind.

You see what they did with just an affair Phylis & Nick. They made them into something that destroy both characters.

 

Cane &  Lily finally breaks up because he slept with Victoria. While Maddie or whatever Lily & Cane child name is dating Victoria son. CkLily needs the biggest L. Lily going to teach her daughter how to be desperate for the white men.

Of course, in my imagination, this would all play out after Cane and Juliet's alleged tryst (or was it?) explodes out into the open (unwittingly by Cane, of course).

The writers seem to be currently building a rapport between Lily and Juliet, which would actually put something at stake for Juliet when the secret comes out (or what she has led Cane to believe is a secret) if she has come to care for Lily as a friend.

Wouldn't it be something if Juliet tries to protest that it's actually not true but neither Lily nor Cane believe it?

Given Victoria's history, I don't see her sleeping with Cane while he's still with Lily. Not only does Victoria seem pretty rigid against women being with married men (her treatment of Ashley and Sharon) but it would be catastrophic for her business as Lily has a high-profile role in BrashNSassy.

      Yes we have seen Dani/Andre, Doug/Vanessa, Ashley/Derek and Naomi/Jacob in bed but no Martin/Smitty. And Chelsea's 3 way involvement has consisted of about 3 scenes at the Hideout before it was over.

      Thanks Bold!  You finally have your first year of YR ratings coming, which completes the ratings for the entire run of YR! I look forward to the day that happens with Days in the 1965-1966 batch, but that will probably be a few years away. A lot of work, but a lot of fun chronicling the history of daytime TV ratings, preemptions and specials!!

      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
