I do think the show picked the wrong people to habe the struggling with money story.

 

I think a new character should habe been introduced that is from the wrong side of the tracks,etc.  Heck, even Tessa could have been that character.  And her and Noah/mariah could have had sharon  playing disapproving mama not thinking Tessa is good enough for either of her kids...thus revisiting the nikki/sharon element where Nikki thought sharon wasnt good enough...

 

Jill, Nikki, Nina, Drucilla were perfect examples of being from the wrong side of the tracks..wanting the good life and respect (especially Dru..who wad always viewed as inferior to Olivia).

I disagree about  her not knowing what she wants to do. She knows exactly what she wants to do. His purpose is someone that lily and Hilary can fight over and both sleep with.  The problem is that's all she wants to do with him. He needs more to him than that.

Oh, Nick, thank you so much for giving me permission to run my business! Ugh, what are these writers thinking by having a female business owner need permission for her to make a deal? Especially in this case - Hilary has always supported Chelsea. That was so incredibly uncomfortable to watch.

 

A better approach: Nick: "Chels, you know I hate Hilary, so you cut the best possible deal and use her to the max to boost C2.0 visibility and profits."  Done.

 

I'm certaingenius Paul can figure out where the two payphones left in GC are located. This Crystal thing is so contrived, but I'll give it a pass because Sharon and Paul are being written as close to the characters we initially loved. 

 

Billy/Hilary. Hmmmm. 

 

Pacing. Why on earth would they rush the Cane taking money and the convenient letter with tuition 'reminder' showing up in same hour? At least drag it a week since school probably starts in August.  Maybe I missed it, but it looked like letter open when Maddie handed to Lily and CK improvised quickly by sliding her finger to 'open' it. I have a feeling it was a retake.

Sharon should be interacting with Nikki & Victoria about Tessa (and her influence on Noah) just as Nina should've done with Jill & Katherine about Chloe.

 

But Y&R is more interested in pushing couples with little to no chemistry than utilizing its history effectively.

Exactly. I like Ravi too. He had potential when first introduced but then they made him over and stripped him of any bit of personality he may have had and now he's Ashley's girlfriend and talk-to. It's a shame.

Yes. This.

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
    • Honestly, Olivia had kind of a good reason to keep her son safe from a mobster for two decades.  Sonny literally shot Dante in the chest lol and had multiple family members die, get injured, threatened, kidnapped, etc, etc.   I know you don't watch the show very often, but it's not like Olivia should have shown up and given Sonny and his 18-year-old girlfriend Brenda shared custody of a kid.  That would have been a horrible, life threatening idea.
