Yeah, Sharon pretty much only has Mariah in her corner. But even looking at recent weddings on the other soaps, like the various B&B weddings and even John/Marlena’s nuptials on dollar-store DAYS, this felt the most low-budget and least impactful. And it should have packed a punch. I just don’t... care about the ramifications of any of today’s drama. Y&R feels like an empty, dead show.

I thought today's show was good. I liked how Noah tried to diffuse the situation with his parents and him talking with Mariah.

 

I don't find Billy/Summer appealing at all. IMO, she looks too young for him. I wonder if she will end up pregnant. I think she might. I think that her and Billy sleeping together while Phyllis rocked back and forth like she was disturbed could be foreshadowing that Summer may get pregnant. And that will disturb Phyllis even more. I could see a situation where Summer only sleeps with Billy one time, he goes to rehab, then comes back and wants nothing to do with her. And then she will end up pregnant and that will really complicate things. Summer becoming pregnant with Billy's baby will really devastate Phyllis.

I had wondered why Sharon ended up even bothered to show up just to dump Nick publicly at the altar. I can see it as revenge for their 2014 wedding debacle but the entire reveal pales extremely in comparison back to 2006 when Sharon was seducing in Nick in the same lingerie Phyllis had worn. Honestly it would have been more intriguing had Nick and Sharon bared all before hand and then married simply for fraud than endured an umpteenth Phick/Shick war and now apparently BUMMER.    

 

Brooke Logan and Reva Shayne would be proud of Phyllis and Summer!

 

The rest of the show is total crap. I already predicted that Sharon is going to be tied up with Rey. As for the rest of the show it completely feels aimless now. 

 

 

Perhaps Mal Young is taking lessons from Brad Bell?

Well Billy is the only older dude bedding a younger woman. Before that it was older women bedding younger men.I don't know why the young people cant date people their age like in real life. I just hope he doesn't have Phyllis seduce Kyle.  It's bad enough they keep pairing him with his on and off step sister Summer. Phyllis was around him when he was a little kid.

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.

      I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it?

      Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.

      Glad you agree about Chandler’s smirking. It’s the reason I criticize him. He hasn’t grown as an actor, unfortunately. I don’t fawn over him because of his looks. I wish he’d never appear until he loses his smirking style of acting.  Dee is doing a great job but yes, the story with the bandages isn’t the best. I get it- Drake wasn’t available and its a throwback to how John came to Salem, but it’s tough to get into the scenes when we know it’s not Drake under the bandages.

      From that same channel, Anything For Love, which failed to make NBC's 1985-86 schedule. With all due respect to Lauren Tewes and Vicki Lawrence, that this was under consideration seems less about their star power and/or chemistry and more that NBC wanted its own Kate & Allie. Still, kudos to Lauren for being rehabilitated enough in one year to already go on the comeback trail.
