I didn’t know if this should be in its own thread or not, but the wildfires in California are really affecting the Y&R family. Eric Braeden’s granddaughter lost her home and so did Eileen Davidson and Tracey Bergman. Looks like they lost everything. Just heartbreaking stuff.

I don't like what I have seen of Mia so far. She is definitely the newest pot stirrer and has already tried to pick fights with Sharon, Lola, as well as treated Abby condescendingly and insulted her behind her back. I don't think that her and Rey have much chemistry. Not to mention according to spoilers:

I also think she looks considerably older than what she is. The actress is 26, but the character looks much older. I think this might be at least partly due to the way she is styled. I believe the casting call for her character wanted someone mid 30s to early 40s. So maybe they are intentionally making the actress look older. 

 

Though, I do think that the actress is doing a nice job of portraying a pot stirring, fake acting character, lol. And I understand that some people might like her and find her behavior entertaining.

I don’t like Mia, either. In fact, I dislike her.

 

She’s aggressive, insulting, overbearing, condescending, and pushy. Why would Rey want this woman around??? She’s supposed to be a stylist, yet she has an ancient hairstyle and dresses like a hoe who walked into the plus size dept. at Chico’s. 

 

Then there’s Tessa, who supposedly loves Mariah yet HAD to tell her about Sharon. I want that lying piece of trash Tessa to leave town. I certainly won’t miss CF’s terrible acting. She’s horrible.

 

Mariah isn’t blameless — she asks Kyle and Devon for advice but never tells them the DETAILS about what Tessa did. Stupid.

Yeah, I don't see what Rey sees in her. She's pushy, overbearing, doesn't want kids, (while he does), antagonizes his siblings and

They seem very mismatched. I don't really see chemistry with them either. I could see him deciding to divorce her. And I would be fine with that. I like his chemistry with Sharon.

 

I also think that Tessa needs to be kicked to the curb for her actions regarding blackmailing Nikki and the rest of the ladies.

I've only seen two clips of her but she reminds me a lot of a character you'd see on a UK soap. I got flashbacks of Kat Slater, between the way she was styled and how she interacted with everyone else. I don't mind it, this show is full of dull lifeless characters, so why not bring in someone to stir the pot?

Shows really struggle with this group for some reason. They're afraid to ever really do anything with them. A lot of times they just want a teen and figure that viewers will automatically care because it's an off-spring of a popular character, but you have to actually, you know, develop the character ... give them an identity, a purpose, goals ... no one seems to care about developing a character anymore. It's just a warm, botoxed body to fill a spot in the plot (or a recycled soap "vet" that becomes the new pet)

I thought that today's show was good, I enjoyed it. 

 

I liked seeing a lot of the characters interact at the Jabotiques launch party. Sharon looked pretty, I really liked her dress, and I also thought that Kerry looked nice. I continue to enjoy Jack and Kerry's interaction and think they have chemistry. She seems a bit uptight, but I do think she loosens up around him. I also liked seeing Devon/Abby interact, (I like their chemistry together), and seeing Traci and Esther again. It was nice seeing Esther dancing with Nate.

 

Speaking of dancing Michael seemed to really enjoy himself dancing with Mia. He was getting it with her on the dance floor, lol. I don't like Mia, but she looked a little better today and I think she may have some chemistry with Michael. It's interesting how it seemed like both her and Rey blamed her affair with Arturo on Arturo, and then she turned around and tried to blame the affair on Rey. She needs to be take responsibility for her role in it, especially if she wants to reunite with Rey. I do believe though that Rey will eventually move on from her and get with Sharon. He's having a hard time staying away from Sharon.

 

And I thought that Tessa came across as pretty awful today with how she was describing how she blackmailed Sharon and the other ladies. She really didn't seem that remorseful for her actions and I think that may be a big reason why Mariah won't forgive her anytime soon. She really devastated Mariah with her actions.

I am loving Mia! Finally a really interesting, fun, dynamic character and actress who is shaking things up. Arturo and Rey are both snoozefests as is Kerry so along with Lola it's nice to have a couple exciting characters to spice up the canvas. It's funny though that Arturo has been on the longest of the Rosales family but I feel like he's the least fleshed out and I know all of the other characters better even Mia who's only been on a few days. I blame most of that on the actor though who isn't up to the job and isn't even that pretty to look at either

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
