Does MY not know what to do with Hilary?  Soaps haven't been good at writing multi-faceted characters in years and it's getting old.  Hilary could easily be one of the most interesting characters in Genoa City (and MM could play it no question) - as long as they don't writer her as being completely "good" or "bad".

I've been watching but I can't say anything's been all that compelling, aside from Marla Adams. Even though I hate how it feels like she's going to be offed by Christmas.

 

I'm already getting annoyed at the possibility of Sharon going bonkers because of Scott and Abby.

 

I will give MY a ton of props for making me actually pay attention to a Victoria scene. Ice cold bitch works so well for Amelia Heinle. I can't believe I don't mind Victoria now. I'm not at like quite yet but it's getting there. Victoria and Abby are finally interesting to me. So kudos for that.

 

I'm kind of interested in what he's trying to do with Ashley but we'll see. The whole casual thing with Ravi but not wanting a relationship, having her be in charge but Jack second guessing her and having Gloworm keep him in the loop.

 

I like that we have scenes with lots of people in them.

 

Nick and Chelsea and Noah and Tessa remain painfully boring no matter how much they think injecting mustache twirling cartoon villain Victor into their orbit will help. But I will say it's helped a teeny tiny bit. I also agree I don't think I'd mind Noah/Chelsea if they were both written a little better.

 

I like that he seems to be writing Charlie a bit more than Mattie. I don't dislike either actor. I didn't even despise the Lame scenes. It felt natural and not forced but I still think they're an awful couple and no breakup ever sticks. I think it would benefit both of them for some solo time as characters.

 

Hilary's writing remains a mess. The problems have been stated above. Is Jordan done? I imagine so?

 

Juliet, Graham, Jordan, and Zack, all swiftly kicked to the curb with Zack and Jordan and Graham becoming more interesting as they exited and Juliet being wasted (still think they offed her way too soon). Ravi and Tessa don't seem as in danger but they could also go tomorrow and nothing would change so I'm not sure how long I see them around. Not really sure what MY sees in the Scott actor. I don't dislike him but I don't think he feels like Scott to me and I don't think he fits on Y&R.

 

Paul does.not.work. as head of the police. He's angry and shouty and acts like he's a stranger to these people. It just doesn't work. Christine and Paul could be played by dayplayer nobodies at this point.

 

I don't hate the show, some things I like. I'm not sure how  I feel about the women's characterizations. I want to appreciate them in charge and standing up for themselves but I don't love some of the cattiness. I can't tell if they're meant to be "strong women" or "catty bitches".

I really tried giving Tessa and the actress a chance but there's just nothing there. Zzzz. She and Noah are beyond snoozeville. Noah needs someone with a personality. And they need to work on his. I didn't mind Tessa with Mariah (they were very slightly more interesting than Noah/Tessa for about a minute) but they aren't playing that.

Half the episode was pre-empted for the loudmouth.

 

Kevin. Ugh. We were so close to being rid of this infestation. Nice to see Esther for all of two seconds. (Unless she appeared more while the show was pre-empted)

 

I'm really really tired of GC Buzz and Hilary being wasted on this [!@#$%^&*].

    • 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
