Wow, ok.  Thanks for the FYI but I swear those shots looked new to me...

 

Arturo's reaction to Abby was cool.  Glad they didn't have him apologize for his FWB hook up.

 

 

JM looks a fvck ton better with his hair shorter.

Cool.  Let me know what you think.

 

So... The party at Top of the Tower is working for me.  I'm really liking Mariah and Kyle.

Very adorable interview. I like Bryton's answer on what he'd like to see for them as a couple. He's right, they'd be unstoppable if they ever got to work as a team cereus against each other. 

 

Nothing really. She didn't like Mishael over some rude comment Mishael made about her hair. 

 

Another good story.

It's amazing how the actors can sometimes be fully aware of what the viewers would like because I can swear some of us have discussed that same thing on this board at one time or another.

It almost seemed as if, at one time, they might've been heading in that direction but that was right before Y&R decided to break them up and have them divorce. 

Before the divorce, I remember Hilary referred to them as a power couple in the making.  I wonder whether the writers just didn't know how to execute this.

A sharp business storyline would've been a good way to introduce this. The conflict could come from everyone being dubious about the couple's prospects and motives.

She was, American opening (I'm in FL). 

 

Honestly, she didn't annoy me at all today and I enjoyed seeing the group of young characters all together at the rooftop party.  CG and MM are good together.  

 

I'm wondering if I was just happy to see some other characters outside of the 8 or 9 that have been onscreen seemingly non stop.  Someone on this thread mentioned that the cast seems claustrophobic, and I agree.

In yesterday's episode  I enjoyed Jack and Hilary spending some time together. I wish they would give Neil something else to do besides interfere with Devon/Hilary. I would like him to have a business storyline and a new love interest. I also wonder if Lily is going to forbid Charlie from seeing Shauna once she finds out that Charlie has been hiding Shauna in his room and they have been lying to her.

 

In today's episode I enjoyed Kyle and Mariah together. I think they have nice chemistry and I thought they looked good together at the party, like a couple. I wonder if Kyle will go from wanting to date Tessa to wanting to be with Mariah. I think that Summer will be mixed into this storyline as well. I didn't mind seeing her back today.

Bryton readily admits to reading social media and boards every day. So I think he's got his finger on the pulse of fan opinion. Good and bad. 

 

Speaking of execution, I think that's what we are seeing with HWG buying GC Buzz. This time around, I noticed that Devon and Hilary no longer fight about direction of GC Buzz. They've been said on more than one occasion to be a good team and shown to produce a successful show

I honestly feel the direction the current writers are taking the show is not what the long time viewers want. I have been watching since 1986. My kids grew up watching the show and now watch too. They do not care for the direction the show is going too.

if this has been posted please delete. from last evening.

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
