I'm pretty sure she has said on twitter that she would love to come back full time. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm always going to hold out hope.  Maternal sounding boards are the bread and butter of soap. I just wish TPTB would see that and act accordingly.

You're absolutely correct. One of the things that made Y&R work during the 80s/early 90s was the complete Abbott family - John as the anchor and the 3 adult children. Een though there was conflicts within the family - it was never Newman-like hate. Y&R hasn't had that since Traci left and John killed off - all the other families are a fractured and scattered mess. Y&R can remedy that with even a permanently recurring BM and having had Graham drugging Dina, so that she's not sick.

+1.  And +1 again.

 

This Paris reunion stuff was crap. To have Lily tell Abby how much she wants Cane, only then to act sullen and tell him no, before changing her mind and kissing him...just GAG ME writing.

 

And no, constant “Paris is beautiful” lines don’t work when they’re clearly in a studio.

I’ll pay Mal if those were Scott exit scenes. He traveled to France to apologize to Abby? And she talked Victor into “selling” Hashtag to Scott for no money down...just because? 

 

Thanks for more more scenes showing us what scum Scott is and how dumb Abby is.

    • @Paul Raven Thanks again. I guess this is the "demon fetus" story I remember reading about. I wonder if the dream plays out any better onscreen. And of course Tom Baldwin is back for more Steve/Audrey misery. I wonder if Lee returns in time to interact with him again. Mellie - I was going to ask if Shonda Rhimes was watching but she would have been 6 around this time. You never know...I probably started soaps around then. Speaking of Lee:

    • It's really strange. DAYS did such a great job getting back characters/actors from the past that it's odd there's no Alison Sweeney. I have no evidence of anything, but I'm going to put this on Sweeney. Maybe she had to make another pie in some Hallmark Mystery movie.   Christopher Sean was so good. That was some real and beautiful acting. Then there's Chandler Massey, who continues to either smirk through scenes or stand around acting like a dope. WTF is going on with him?   Overall, the cast continues to do stellar work. It doesn't get much better than this. If this were the end of DAYS' run, it would be a fitting legacy,  
    • has canada been a day ahead from the beginning — or did they get a new episode on memorial day, when cbs aired a rerun here?
    • I was not expecting the Tide shot though  Silk Press Sheila was so checking for Andre. I'm like "damn girl you ready to risk it all for that man".
    • Loved the courtroom stuff. I despise Willow and Drew but love Ric, so it pained me to see him being so good at his job because I absolutely do NOT want Willow and Drew to get custody. I guess Nina changed her mind about betraying Sasha, yikes. I ignored pretty much everything else in the episode.
    • And you just KNOW she eats there since everyone in the damn town does.
    • Can’t believe we’re not getting Sami at all for John’s passing. That’s wild to me. We couldn’t even get a Sami video call? I know Sami was needed for the rape story, but I’d prefer her here for John’s death over the rape stuff. She still never even explained why or how she fell in love with her rapist when she was in Salem. So Bo doesn’t know his daughter married a serial killer.    You could really feel Paul’s grief today. Bo finding out about Victor and that wave of grief hitting him was so real. And then to find out about Doug right after. PR was great. This is already a better Bo/Hope story than whatever the hell RC wrote. I say it every day it seems but Deidre again is pitch perfect. Hope being so excited to hear about John only to hear he didn’t make it

      Bo is going to be destroyed.
    • Thanks for the updates, @glfaninnyc and @VelekaCarruthers.   First Skyy Sandifer, and now Christian Streaty, looks like DAYS was testing out some black writers who are new to daytime.  
    • It seems like the obvious downside for future writers was that if a real news event occurred in Bay City, Michigan, then the audience would wonder how it would affect Rachel and Iris. Whereas, a soap set in a larger city like Los Angeles or Houston can avoid everything but weather events by saying that our characters were on the other side of town (like B&B did during the LA Uprising of 1992 - although not literally). IRL, I recall a huge snowstorm that hit Manhattan in the 1990s, and the papers with filled with stories about actors and crew having to spend the night in various television studios because the trains shut down early.  Which led me to question if we know of any natural events like storms or tornados that effected production? Remember when Port Charles, NY had to have an earthquake because of sets destroyed by a real earthquake in LA?
    • @janea4old I'm sure eventually Canada/USA will air the same episode, but I'm really surprised it has gone on this long.
