MiM had her baby...

 

 

 

No. That's a friends child. 

[ChitHappens]

Really?  Yikes!  I thought it was a bit soon, but I just assumed.

Neil shouldn't be the mediator in this story.

 

That role is ideal for Mamie.

 

Agreed. He is also failing in it. His performances have been very week.

Mal loves her and tries to convince viewers she's not trash!  

 

More like Mal loves her but tries to pretend he has no favorites.

And because of it there is a whole other level to this story that hasn't been touched.

 

This particular incident should be extremely triggering for Devon. That when the chips are down his father repeatedly chooses his bio kid over his adopted one.

The father's bio kid is really the father's niece at that. The writing is so bad for soaps in general.

This Summer stuff is grating. I don’t want to see her crushing on Billy like this. 

 

Cane is the most insufferable character right now. It’s about the same as Brad and that dumb reliquary storyline.

For you Jess Walton lovers!

Yeah I saw a bunch of shouty (is there any other kind?) Eric Braeden tweets earlier this week in tribute to Aretha and her Y&R fandom.

Isn't Malcolm Lily's father...not Neil?

[Darn]

I'm curious, has Neil mentioned Dru at all?

[slick jones]

Tired of the daily dose of Bummer. HKK wasn't missed and having her on with that puss on her face every day makes the show FF material.

 

The lack of Devon in HIS story with Cane's pain front and center is nauseating.

While I appreciated the talks between Summer and Phyllis and between Summer and Nick, I thought too much of today’s show was taken up with those conversations. Those beats should’ve been played out over a number of episodes. It was just too much.

 

And Nick writing a check to Summer at the end of the show? We get it. Nick is just like his father. That was just too on the nose for me.

[slick jones]

Every day Phyllis and Summer---Hey Mal, how about giving some others screen time?

[Faulkner]

As forced and annoying as Devon and Mariah can be together (and how their convo became about Tessa), I’m just glad they are playing an angle other than Devon’s resentment towards Lily. I like that he’s finally holding Lily accountable for her treatment of Hilary, but it becomes one-note after a while.

 

LOL at 50-year-old Billy. JT is only 41, but he does feel like he reads so much older. Maybe not as “senior citizen” as Burgess, but certainly much older than Miller or Tom would feel in the role.
