I just mentioned this on the B&B board, but wouldn't it be kinda interesting to have Ivy Forrester move to Genoa City for Noah? They're both kind of left out characters and it would give them something to do.

 

I'm bored thinking of fantasy pairings. I also have Nate Hastings paired with Ivy Forrester in my imagination. Look at that! Triangles!!!

It feels like she left a day ago! Basically Jack went for a power grab at Jabot and decided to use Ashley's paternity against her so she couldn't make any of the major decisions. Ashley got lawyers involved, they went into arbitration and the judge ruled in favour of Jack. So Ashley walked. All this I gleaned from Ashley's exposition dialogue on Monday. I didn't watch last week so I have no clue if any of this appeared onscreen.

Co-sign! It makes no sense that a little burg in MidWest Bumblefuck has this lo-budget Access Genoa City, devoted to supposedly salacious 'gossip' like Sharon's love life, and Newman Enterprises investing 'billions' in some app.

So much is happening IRL, truly evil things creeping out into the open, the ground seems to be shifting under our very feet --- and yet Y&R is literally unable to cough up a juicy SL to sink its teeth into. Certainly not one worthy of a nationwide gossip show like ET or E! News.

 

I mean, is GC Buzz going to go live about Tessa stealing Mariah's diary?? Because that is some sh*t no network would ever air.

lol well my dad is originally from Michigan (though I never lived there). Actually I got it from friends and family in NY who would refer to people coming from upstate "They're from Bumblefuck, NY. Or somewhere." That's the NYC/tri-state superiority complex for ya.

I agree Eileen and Amelia were great together.

 

The Cane/Lily scenes have more lows than high. I want to see them eventually split after trying to make it work.

 

The less said about GC buzz the better.

 

I liked that Noah got a few scenes. He sold them pretty well.

I think Paul really just hates Victor. After what Victor did to his sister, Paul doesn't care what he has to do as long as he takes down Victor.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
