Jess Walton is wonderful.

 

She really is. Every scene with her is gold.

 

i’m immensely enjoying the cast returns this week. Don’t care if they contribute heavily to story or not. This stuff is great, and a throwback to soaps from decades past. 

 

Every show has problems, from daytime to nighttime, but I’ll never understand calling Y&R a mess. That’s just untrue. 

I'm tuned in everyday and read Toni's Spoilers in the evening, anticipating the next episode.  Maybe I'm just old and it doesn't take much to entertain me anymore.

I find the show pretty entertaining. It’s the only one I watch pretty much daily.

To me, it’s currently the only show that interests me in the slightest, but it is the soap I’ve been watching the longest so I’m biased. It’s not Bill Bell’s show at all, but it’s watchable.

I thought that Traci's speech about Colleen, living life to the fullest, and appreciating memories was really poignant. Beth Maitland did a really good job in those scenes. I wish that Traci would have gotten to talk with JT more.

 

Also, I wonder if Cane/Lily are going to catch Hilary in some type of compromising position and use that to try and convince Devon not to have a baby with her.

 

I wonder if something might happen between Hilary and Kyle. After Cane and Lily talked about getting Devon to see sense, the camera panned to Kyle. Granted that could have just been the show cutting from one scene to the next, but maybe it was foreshadowing. And I thought that Kyle was standing kind of cozy with Hilary when she was interviewing him.

Mamie in particular would be useful with Dina back and delving into the Abbott family history. 

Mamie would be great for this story. Nate would be a great addition, didn’t he return VERY Briefly as a doctor some years ago?

I will say it started with Sally but Mal has done a great job continuing to make Traci finally feel like a regular part of the Abbott family now. The family just feels whole to me now and I didn't even grow up watching Traci. There's just something about the chemistry between that family. They're outnumbered by the Newmans but are infinitely more interesting to me. The only Newman I really care about is Nikki.

 

GT may not have been playing Phyllis for the history between Christine but I loved the brief scene between the two.

 

Can this be the last Kyle recast. I mean jesus, this is the 4th Kyle in what a 5 year period? Or is it 5th?

 

The lack of flashbacks is killing the anniversary for me. It's not enough to just have them on the Previously On... ugh

Yes, MiM has a way of making her Mal screen partners more sexy and interesting. They need Kyle to work which means Hilary will probably end up in romantic situations with him if not a full on romance. Wait for it...

Noooooo, don't ruin the one consistent friendship Hilary has had! They already tried when they had her kiss him that one time. Jack and Hilary are friendship goals.

There's a lot that's left to be desired and HUGE room for improvement, but at least it's watchable(definitely far above the Latham, MAB & Co., and Pratt eras) and does retain entertainment value.

I'd think Jack would approve of Hilary and Kyle. No? 

The dialogue for JT is great. He really knows how to emotionally manipulate Victoria.

Yes Nate returned for like two episodes. Also, don’t get me wrong I do find the show watchable. It has moments which is what I expected from Mal, but I don’t think it’s particularly good or makes much sense overall. I think DAYS, GH and Y&R are all watchable but none are at their full potential by a long shot.

I agree.  Why wouldn't he?  As far as first impressions, I like the new Kyle.  He and MiM def passed the chem test.

JT is fascinating to me and the dialogue has a lot to do with it.

 

I wanted to hear more from Mac about how he's changed.  She said a couple times that he isn't the same guy he used to be.  Why?  Spill it, girl.

She mentioned he kept losing jobs and getting turned down for work, which made him feel like a failure.
