Eileen Davidson was pretty candid in a (long) video interview with Nelson Branco that her decision to leave last autumn was because she didn't wanna be tied-down to a full-time job anymore.    She added that if she'd been given better storylines, the decision would've been harder to make, but the decision still would've been the same.   She also said she'd be happy to pop in occasionally (non-contract) if the show needed her to.

 

She also said, when she was asked to return for the Jabot storyline and Kristoff's funeral, "I'm glad Josh took me up on my offer!"

 

(I think she has a better working relationship with Josh than with most of the others writers Y&R has foisted upon us in the past decade.   It was Josh's team who re-hired Eileen immediately after taking over from Lyn Marie Latham, who'd axed Eileen in 2007.)

I haven't been able to watch the shows yet. My heart just isn't ready. But that's a nice moment. I find it interesting though. This is the first time that Mishael has ever mentioned watching Dru and Neil. She's said that Phyllis was her favorite character and wanted to play someone like her, Nick and Sharon her favorite couple, and has mentioned wanting to be a Newman on the many occasions she was asked whether she watched growing up. I had thought that maybe when she watched, it was after the prime of the Winters/Barber family. After all, Malcolm Winters was everyone's favorite. Is there a viewer that didn't love him?!

I think that brief little moment made VR feel the things she had been fighting for were not in vain and did have a positive impact on young people of color watching the show. She and Kristoff and that group of characters resonated more than she could have imagined. I’m glad Mishael got to speak from a fan’s angle for a bit and I know VR was proud that the show had at least one popular actress of color in Mishael since her departure (but we know how that turned out unfortunately).

I guess we’re in GT’s final stretch of episodes? I will give her a ton of credit for committing to the material, even when it’s usually crap and not letting her personal feelings impact her work. She made Phyllis a human again, which was refreshing.

 

I just hope Stafford doesn’t let her personal feelings impact the character or her work again as it did during the last several years of her last stint...

 

EDIT: Looks like this is GT’s last week of filming per her Instagram. I guess we have her for a few more weeks on-screen. Interesting to see so many Y&R cast and crew commenting on her post - she seemed very well-liked by most on the show.

Annnnd here we go..

Oh...so this is what's been going on since I regularly watched last (pre-Hillary death).

 

Abby opens a restaurant. 

 

Hmmm...seems like the Summer/Kyle/Lola triangle got a bit of traction. And that necklace scene with the tension was interesting.

 

So this is Mia. DON'T LIKE HER.

 

Awwww at Devon taking off the wedding ring.

 

Too many sequins.

 

 

ETA: ASHHLEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      It was all about Gio today, boys 

      Please register in order to view this content

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try) to do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).

      They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.

      I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to.

      Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.

      Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.

      I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.

      I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.
