I like the history nods, but it always screams that  TPTB are so desperate to prove us wrong on how we think they don't know anything about the show....It's like the damage is done, and it's not like your using the history research to it's full advantage...

I didn't know Bruce was Liz's brother? for some reason I thought he was just a childhood friend of Jennifer's who she slept with....Lorie almost had an affair with her "brother" right?

Yes Mark was her half brother.

Nowadays.it would be revealed that Mark was not Bruce's son as no paternity is not undone!

 

Maybe Dina had a fling with young Frenchman Pierre Rouland, who worked at the country club while dreaming of opening his own restaurant in GC.

 

Or the sleazy Nick Reed,making Jack and Nikki half siblings! But Nikki finds out through Casey that Nick was not her father.

Nikki then goes searching for her real dad.

 

Or she was slumming it with Bill Foster...

How many times has Jack stared at that photo? And it took until now to realize there’s a guy in the picture who’s an unknown? What a SUCKFEST.

 

Charlie visiting Shauna is so damn boring. Someone should tell him to stand up straight. Playing a high school kid doesn’t mean you have to have horrible posture.

 

Billy and Phyllis. UGH. I like both actors, but sexual heat? There’s none. Zero. Billy with his shirt off is not hot. Even less hot is Billy in black boxer briefs and no shirt. Neither of these two look or act as if they’ve had boring sex, let alone wild sex.

 

The whole gambling storyline is awful. I want both of them to lose everything and become homeless.

 

Tessa needs money...lots of money. Yet she’s wearing new gold earrings and a gold necklace and another new outfit. OK then. I want her to die.

Yes, Bruce Henderson was Liz Henderson Foster Brooks' brother. He  and Jennifer Brooks had also known each other for decades. Unbeknownst to Stuart Brooks, Bruce and Jennifer had had an affair 24 years before, producing Lorie. Bruce and his wife Regina had had a son named Mark Henderson, who fell in love with Lorie after he moved to Genoa City. Mark was impotent, but he and Lorie were passionate about each other and wanted to make a life together. Lorie tried to help cure Mark of his sexual dysfunction. After they were told that they were half brother and sister, Mark fled town. He refused to continue on with the relationship although Lorie was still willing to do so. This was VERY daring for the 1970s! And Jamie Lyn Bauer grew into a fine actress throughout this period.

He’s a good looking guy but I feel like that’s part of the reason why this show is never gonna let Nick “grow up” he just doesn’t have that mature look about him....Nick and Sharon could have had grandkids but that won’t happen anytime soon..

in the latest SOD, Peter Bergman is cheering on the Jack's daddy story, saying that at first he was taken aback but then realized how this would affect Jack whose identity has always been so entwined with being an Abbott blah blah blah and what a journey Jack has been taken on and a challenge for him as an ector etc

 

Peter knows on what side his bread is buttered...

Instead of another regime change, I just wish Sony would 'add' credible Y&R writers to MY's team. This is really bad that we'd have 3 major changes in 3-4 years.  It's like DAYS, which not coincidentally is a SONY product. Perhaps, they are starting to apply the DAYS budget model to Y&R

    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
