If Santa Barbara circa 1987 had been paced like Y&R circa 1987, how long would Eden have been paralyzed on SB?  How long would Eden have been stuck with Cain Garver in Utah?  How long would Eden have been married to Kirk Cranston?  (I know Eden and Kirk were a married couple in 1985-86, but...)

Buddy, u know I love you, but you gotta stop!  That's so far off topic, I don't know where to begin..... perhaps a question u could pose more appropriately in the SB thread?  Nobody watching 2017 Y&R gives a hoot about 1987 Y&R pacing being injected into a 1985 Santa Barbara storyline.

An observation. From memory, I believe the initial Scott/Zack scene was at Crimson Lights during the day. 

 

Though they moved on fairly quickly to The Underground (where, to be fair, the time of day/night is open to interpretation due to lack of natural light) I think Billy had got into the apartment before that had occurred.

Sally and Kay had the lowest ratings YR has in 10 years. They failed and sometimes u cant go back and recreate the past..Mals first episode was edgy, well paced and contemporary. So much better then anything Sally but onscreen. Sally also had the shortest run of any head writer.

Well, when the episode started off with Victoria as the first person we see. Sigh.

 

The episode wasn't that terrible, I guess. But I don't have high hopes.

 

Chelsea is so irrelevant it's not even funny. I like MCE, but why on earth are they keeping her around?

 

The actor playing Scott remains horrible and today proved it even more. I liked the twist with Zack, I suppose.

 

At least the show felt like it had some energy I suppose.

 

I'm finding Tognoni a bit over the top right now TBH. And Thompson's Billy just seems unlikable and sleazy. I could do with a long vacation from the Victoria and Billy Show.

Scott's actions including blurting out the identity of the sex worker kind of undermined his reputation of being a top notch investigative reporter.  Just the other day, Scott talked about the importance of being discreet now he's talking all about the investigation, including tracking the LLCs to a guy he barely knows?

Also, by the time I was in middle school, my mother had taught me never to leave my food and/or drink unattended, especially around people I'm unrelated to (and I mean close relatives, not those occasional interlopers that you hear from once in 10 years). Stupid stupid stupid.

 

I'm not opposed to MY moving the sex trade story along as it does need to end soon. The Zach character is creepy smarmy and lacks any type of charm and charisma and he and Abby are boring anyway.

 

Are Phyllis and Billy being played for laughs?  Just asking.

 

Also, it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any less of Victoria for the foreseeable future. Looks like all the writing regimes of the past decade have that much in common.

Also, Victoria's an heiress who apparently couldn't hire a top makeup artist? 

 

Hilary and Lily were the most amusing out of today's episode.

The scene between Jack and Ashley with the record player and music was actually kind of touching.

 

Today's episode had a frenetic pace to it.

      Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
