Not happy with Jack and haven't been in a very long time. He wants a relationship with Nikki and what he is doing with Ben, Hillary and Phyllis will kill that even though it wouldn't last anyway. It will also kill their friendship as she finds out how desperate he is to destroy her daughter....

I see how he is and also he did things as he does now back when Colleen was alive. He used Colleen to further his own agenda in business and Patty got to her and killed her.

He should have not ever used Colleen, I don't know what kind of Uncle would do that to his niece? Then again we see him doing it to Abby too.

I am repulsed he acted and treated Adam better than Colleen and his family which was horrible in my eyes.

So is Juliet crazy? And why does Hilary have such contempt for her now when she was the one initially using her? It's all very odd. They squandered the chance for Hilary to have another friend other than Jack.

When will Hilary just dump Jordan? He clearly hates her and wants to bang Lily. It's getting annoying watching him constantly tear her down, while being perfectly ok anytime Lily talks [!@#$%^&*] about her. Completely over the character.

Yep. I hate it.

@YRestlessfan The Aunt Jack/Ben convo made zero sense. So Jack wants Ben, who's established as mega successful venture capitalist, to steal corporate secrets from B&S with the only benefit being that he has a self-proclaimed powerful man on his side? C'mon. Are we sure Abby didn't push Aunty down too? Who does he think he is? TGVN?

I know it's the writing but the very irony of Hilary as she chastises Juliette for seeing what she wants to see in Cane while not seeing that Jordan would clearly rather be Lily's strong shoulder than accompany Hilary to a potentially romantic getaway.

Yeah, and what Jordan is bring to this relationship Hillary can get anywhere. She doesn't need to put up with a guy who wants Lily.

So Victoria has a second personality that is just as dry and awkward as her normal one?

PLEASE end this sex trafficking story. It's centered on newbies (Zack, Tessa, Crystal) and it makes no sense. They can't do it justice, they need to end it before October 1st. Tweak these scripts and wrap it up fast.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the show just had Juliet have a miscarriage offscreen and sent her away or had her go crazy in a week and that was it for that story.

*saying a silent prayer that come October 1 both Brash & Sassy and GC Buzz will be no more*

That will happen the week after she gives Lane their next baby, proving that Lily is the best wife ever and they are true love.

@Juliajms oh yeah the Lame reunion was foreshadowed with terrible split screen. Except we'll find out Juliet didn't sleep with Cane and used Sharon's trusted lab tech for DNA. It'll turn out Jordan never gave up shady ways and set this up to get Lily and is real father. Cane becomes victim, Lily forgives his lies because he sold car and paid tuition so he really is good guy. End of story.

Just finished last week's and...

...Y&R...a split personality for Victoria? Really? Maybe if it was HT, but I don't feel AH is strong enough.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
