I agree, most importantly about what is in bold here. 

I don't hate the show right now, but I wish more was happening so it can hold my interest. I like that Y&R is back to doing more business stories as I hated stories about doppelgangers and dog murdering psychos. SSM's tenure has been a boring yet harmless one. I hope Y&R doesn't regress to what the show was with Pratt/MAB/Latham were in charge. It would be nice to have Mal just simply continue to write business stories but as you state add a bit more specifics to them, and up the stakes, keep Sharon grounded, and keep Dina but throw her truly into the mix of things.

I'll be the first to admit I've felt negative about the show lately, but I found Friday's episode pretty good. It was mostly because of Dina. Her verbal sparring with both Nikki and Phyllis, just minutes apart, was golden. The deadpan in her voice, not giving Nikki and Phyllis a chance to speak, and raised eyebrows from the Abbott men was spot on. 

 

I had a good chuckle at Victoria catching Nikki and Jack in the elevator, but more so when Jack handed Nikki a tissue to fix her lipstick.

 

It was also a Cane-free day. For me, that's a win.

I still watch a few times per week (online, of course).

It used to be fun to dissect storylines and see if/how I could come up with something better for existing or imagined stories, even when the show was bad but it hardly seems worth it now.

I got tired of people assuming that any critical thinking meant that you wanted to tank the show. I also got tired of trolls who want to pick fights at every turn for whatever reason.

I just got tired, LOL.

B&S has one employee who kinda works in the lab... sometimes.

The only place where I see more than three non-related individuals engaging in what can be considered 'work' is at Hilary's gossip show.  

Honestly, I don't know why folks are eager to run Hilary out of town, she's employing more people than practically all of the corporations in GC!

      I was watching the 28:44 edit of All the Tour Llandview Openings from 1984-1991 (which I assume is most of the Rauch era). Any way, I could name 95% of the characters (or I knew what story they were a part of).  But, who's this? I attached the link, but be warned, that theme song is an earworm (here's where ya go when it looks like the rain won't).

    • I welled up, definitely. She got me with that one; it's only a shame these writers cannot bring this on a more consistent basis.
    • Let's Make a Deal, which followed AMC, went from 9.2 to 7.5 those weeks, so it happened to both shows.
    • When she showed Gio the picture of Lila and Edward and said these are your great-great grandparents I might have shed one single little tear.
    • Y & R has always been a day ahead in Canada (or was for years) so I don't mind if BTG is a day ahead in Canada as well.
    • She always does. She is aces. Top three actresses on this soap.
    • Blame: 90% Lois; 75% Lulu. Today I finally said, JANE ELLIOT Just go ahead & give her all the awards! She blew my mind. But, I still say that there is no one "bad guy" in this story. You can see so many people's points of view. What I like most about this gigantic umbrella storyline. I've been a daily watcher of soaps since the 1970s & this may be the best I've ever seen. I said same last week &  now I'm saying it again. In a way GH has had their foot on the gas since February sweeps, non-stop & I have a sneaking feeling they're not gonna put on the brakes until July sweeps.  What is left to reveal? Sex between Nina & Drew. Joss being WSB. Who killed Cyrus? Who killed Jagger? Who killed Austin? Is Sonny leaving the mob? Will Natalia be killed? Okay, I've just gone too far, back it up to "mob". So, show of hands, who here thinks Michael cut his treatment short? Sasha asked was he in pain? And he replied, Nothing I can't handle. So, he is & he did. That means Carly was right. I know people hate that.  
    • Ugh. I genuinely hope not; I pray, somehow, CHCH-DT is told to provide a one-day pause. The last thing we need is a Y&R situation with this soap. I'm pretty sure Samantha is the older twin.
    • As usual, Jane Elliot stole the show. GM was good as Gio as were Rena, Dominic, and Amanda.   I also thought the actress that plays Emma was low key, but perfect at the same time-just listening and reacting.  
    • I'm surprised it took me this long to get into RH. The soap is so damn good, I am just as obsessed with the Ryan's as Delia. The Ryans are a great family unit and seem like good people. I wish I had a family like that. This show has so many parallels to BTG. Frank's mystery is very similar to Martin's. Both are my favorites on each show. adding more thoughts soon once I get a consistent watch going.
