What happened to Y&R???? I mean not that it was great before the shut down took them out of production, but you would think that when they did get to resume, they would have improved. Instead, it seems like its worse. It's even MORE boring! Not only that, but did they get a new hair stylist? Almost everyone has horrible hair. Nicki and Ashley both look like they are wearing wigs (maybe they are) and Victoria's hair right now looks like it hasnt been brushed in days. and the wardrobe is terrible, as well. Abby's garish bright mint green suit, Sharon's ugly bright blue drappy tank thing (would you really want to wear that style of shirt a few days after breast surgery?) and they put Chelsea in a vomit pink puffy THING that is the absolute worst color for her! (they usually put her in dark tones like reds and browns which looks great on her not to mention they arent even trying anymore with her hair either) so not only are the stories not keeping my attention, but the esthetics leave a lot to be desired.

 

And dont even get me started on cutting out completely on kissing/love making scenes for stupid social distancing. THIS IS A SOAP!!!!! The soap I write is a million times better than this garbage

Are those dates correct?  I seem to remember Kasi Lemmons' Nella leaving the canvas with a character named Beau (played by Neil Maffin), who left in 1988.  Beau didn't even make his first appearance as a character until the end of very end of 1987 or early 1988. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be that much video out there from VR's time on ATWT.

 

It really would be great to hear from VR about when she appeared on the show.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
