I liked the Summer/Kyle scenes today. HKK and MM in particular did a nice job of Kyle dealing with his surprise regarding Summer's "ILY" and trying to process that. 

 

Summer is not my favorite character by any stretch (and I really disliked her the last time around). , but I am glad that she told Kyle she accepts/loves him for who he is. Lola has never said that to him and that is a big problem that him and Lola have. She keeps trying to change him and won't accept him for who he is.  It seems like Summer may continue to try and fight for Kyle, though he his attention is mainly on Lola at the moment. I am interested in seeing how this triangle plays out for this round and when  Kyle may realize he cares about Summer more than he realizes. I wonder what may trigger him examining his feelings for Summer more.

I'm back and forth on Summer. I tend to like her when she's vulnerable and shows her human side. The situation with Kyle is relatable. Sometimes you don't know how much you care about someone until they are with someone else.

I think that she's coming across a lot better this time around, then she did the last time when she was trying to hurt Phyllis/chase after Billy. At least her wanting Kyle makes sense, and especially given they have history. And Kyle wants to be with someone else who doesn't appreciate him and has mistreated him.  Summer trying to bust up her mother's relationship with Billy, when they were together and happy didn't make any sense. But IMO her going after her Kyle after Lola dumped him for the umpteenth time does.

 

I think that Summer is coming across like she actually does care about Kyle. She even argued for him to see Lola yesterday, because she knew that Lola meant a lot to him. And today she seemed like she cared as well, telling him that she accepts him for who he is, doesn't want to change him. And that she doesn't care if he's mad at her or wants to blame her, she still cares for him.

 

I hadn't thought him and her had much in the way in regards to chemistry, but their scenes today was far more romantic/soapy than Lola constantly berating him and trying to change him. Kyle still wants Lola for now, and he did tell Summer to stop talking about her feelings for him. But  I think that Summer words had an impact on him. I think he may be kind of touched in a somber manner that somebody likes him as he is. Even if it is Summer and not Lola, who he's more focused on right now. 

 

I really did like MM's reaction as Kyle in those scenes.

Wow, finally watched the Nikki flashback episode and it was the best Y&R ep I've seen in a couple years. Actually, I'm happily surprised to hear all of the classic scores FINALLY being utilized after being neglected for so long. They still stand up to the test of time and have just been music to my ears. 

 

As for the rest of the show, just meh.

Some of us have been busting their balls for years in PM on facebook to make this happen. Trust and believe. It's been a multi-pronged, organized effort. 

 

I just have to rave here about the Gothic goodness of the crazy Edward clips.... I'm also totally bummed they cut the clip before she threw the ashes all over him!  This show was right there in Dark Shadows territory on many occasions, GOD....John Conboy was a genius.

I tweeted with RC Cates, the YR music director. He was careful and diplomatic with his words, but indicated they were given the ok to use the old music cues again. He did not mention Mal or anyone else.

 

i asked him how it felt to use those cues once more, and he said “inspired,” and that there’s a lot of beautiful music there. He’s getting tons of praise on Twitter for the old stuff, and he said stay tuned for more.

      I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (
