It's obvious how MO will be written out for her leave. Honestly, I believe she's done her most inspired work during the past six weeks. 

 

The big bonus with MY has been turning almost all the female characters from supporting, thirsty victims into people who actually can make their own choices.

 

AH great as icy Victoria, but it was really not that effective supporting Cane.

 

The back-to-back Victor getting it from his ex's worked really well. And nice touch having Nikki/Ashley be civil.

Copied from Nov thread...

 

Ah I caught up now, and now I see the Jack/Dina scenes setting up the tree. Those were actually really good scenes. The entire episode dialogue was on point. A lot of nods to history without being overbearing (Lily remembering Kevin).

 

I like Ashley vs. Gloria. I liked Lily and Charlie.

 

I get where Ashley is coming from. She can't handle the grief and watching her mom slip away as she just came back, and they never really got a long. The reaching out for sex is pretty self-explanatory - and it might not "be Ashley" but grief has a way of changing us.

 

The Dina stuff is probably the saddest, most grounded and powerful story that Y&R has had, and all the actors involved are phenomenal. Yes, it sucks that Dina is slipping away, I love Marla Adams she is amazing, but this story is really bringing out the best in the cast, and MA is selling it. The "I will always love you" was such a strong moment. I will let the pacing of this one slide a bit, because Dina was diagnosed a year ago, and we've seen her slipping since she returned (Abbott dinner Traci noticed). 

 

I'm enjoying the show more than I have in awhile.

Speaking for myself and myself only, I want women to be stronger. If they come across as being bitchy sometimes, so be it. If Ashley needed to be comforted physically to help with the pain she's going through, let her. You're absolutely right that everyone deals with grief differently. 

 

I think it's about finding balance. Be vulnerable, but not a snowflake. Be an ingenue at times, will fulfilling your self-worth. 

 

I like how we're seeing each of the Abbotts reacting differently to Dina's diagnosis and disease progression. As a viewer, it's relatable. I'm also enjoying seeing Jack truly being the patriarch of the family. His dad would be proud.

Just watched the Nov. 30 episode. It was pretty good. Still not a fan of Cane and I just rolled my eyes at his angst about poor baby Sam. Still not a fan of Lily but I enjoyed her conversation with Charlie about Hilary. I love it when there is smart and wise dialogue coming from Y&R's women. I cringe at the speculation that they are thinking of making Sharon cray cray again. The hair and wardrobe department definitely need to get together for color coordination for Camryn Grimes and her clothing color wheel.

 

Does anyone know if Amelia and Thad are still married? I am looking forward to seeing JT again especially if it means he will be taking Reed away from GC.

The encounter could provide an easy out for MO's leave and Abby to leave town for a bit. 

 

Since a lot of time has been spend on blood testing - I wonder why Lily/Mattie are a match for Sam, but not Cane/Charlie. And surprisingly, I haven't found any of the Assby scenes annoying. 

 

Lily, Ashley, Abby and Nikki being portrayed as strong women is a step forward. 

 

Is it me or is Nelsea actually a lot better? (Relatively speaking, of course)

(Full Disclosure: I got a chance to see this episode over the weekend).

 

It's not about being a "match".  It's is a molecule present in Lily's and Mattie's blood that would make Sam's post-surgical healing occur faster. There is probably something present in Lily's DNA that was passed onto Mattie in higher amounts than Charlie. In twins, whether fraternal or identical, we know that DNA can vary. 

 

This is probably a poor analogy but this made me think of ebola victims who survived the deadly virus had certain antibodies present in their blood that formed immunity. During the deadly outbreak of 2014, doctors were feverishly trying to collect samples from survivor's blood to use for patients during the crisis.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. 
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
