Concur on Tessa and Mariah. Y&R would never though. 

Weren't there several LGBT pairing when Mal Young was EPs on some of the UK soaps. Must be another US soap thing where they are afraid of alienating middle conservative America

I think it's a Y&R thing.

We've had this discussion in the UK forum awhile back when you asked. While UK soaps push the envelope a bit more than US soaps, they still have a ways to go with doing stories with their LGBT characters too. They are still marginalized in a sense. Yeah, LGBT characters are more prominent on UK soaps, they still have a ways to go.

Wednesday Adams!!! :lol:

 

Is anyone invested in her and Noah's relationship? I know I'm not. 

 

I'm not either. In fact, I'm on record as hating Tessa. Can't stand the character or the actress, who has more acting tics than Bette Davis.

Tessa is just a Mariah clone with dark hair. I don't think the show needs them both.

You're probably not too far off on that assertion but Mariah can't date her brother.;)

True. But the show should have created a unique character for him then. Mariah and Tessa are the new Chloe and Chelsea.

Which is too bad....because the chemistry is there.  It's interesting the last two regimes have tried to recreate the original Mariah character with Natalie, who was full of snark and cynicism when she arrived and now again with Tessa, less snark but definitely cynical.

This episode is so awkward. Why did everyone say offensive things to each other just as the fireworks went off? lmao. Really gauche dialogue all around today.

Next to Devon, Jordan is the best looking guy at the pool party. 

 

Devon really wears the aggro/jealous look well. I was kind of hoping they would start fighting/kissing.

Instead of recreating the original character traits of Mariah...why not just write Mariah closer to what she once was?  It seems sad that she is now a cassie clone...when Mariah was interesting to begin with as a character.

 

Mariah and Hilary should be friends..not fighting over some guy.

@Soaplovers Exactly. Mariah has a perfect past for any soap writer AND ties to a lot of characters + living down St Cassie's 'perfect' memory. As outsiders, Hilary/Mariah should be calling out all those GC sanctimonious hypocrites. Can you imagine if they wised up and made them a team wreaking havoc? 

 

WTH - with Dr Harris. Suddenly he's gone bad sh!t crazy? There was only one exchange today that made sense the Bella/Delia and Chloe/Maggie analogy. Otherwise, talk about a horrible and unnecessary exit s/l. May top the UC Dylan nonsense. They could've just had Kevin get Delia and they all live there until it's time for Chloe to return when Adam is resurrected. 

 

SC in a one-piece. I'm sure it was to make Abby seem young and hot, except we've all seen SC looking fun in lingerie during steamy 'love' scenes.
