I was on a call and had the TV on mute I had been watching the news. When my call was over I took the TV off mute and Y&R was on. Before I changed the channel I watched for a minute and Phyllis and Nick were talking about being back together again and how things would be different this time, and they were in the Park.  I was like  - what is the point of this? Change channel to re-run of The Real.  I don't understand why they didn't do anything about this.  The show was a disaster long before COVID.  I saw comments under the ratings article and I'm shocked...so many people are saying how all the soaps are stabilizing and GREAT week for XXX show!  I'm like what?  Are you on CRACK?  GH and DAYS are below cancellation numbers for every show that's ever aired.  And yes, I know "things are different today".  The demos are terrible for all 4 and so are the households.

It's funny, even with playing a poorly developed and boring character with Amanda, Mishael Morgan and Bryton still have more chemistry than he does with his real life girlfriend Brytni Sarpy. 

 

Mishael really did a lot to get this show to even think about Bryton/Devon as a sexual being. Before her, he was written as the most asexual thing ever on this show.

I watched some scenes with this new story because I wanted to know what all the arguing was about on twitter. 

 

Bryton and Mishael still look so good together onscreen and have the same excellent chemistry even with COVID protocols. She most definitely made Devon into a more romantic character.

Did someone say Bryan Dattilo? lol.

 

But yes, he really did take a page from that playbook and it showed. And then with the right leading lady...it was kismet.

 

That was what I liked about Hillary. She was fire (passion) to his ice (calmed steeled strength). They were perfect.

 

If I wanted to see something happen with Amanda. I would think they would flip the script and have MM as the calm strength...which being a lawyer would make sense while it's Devon that is bringing the fire and passion and have them together. She makes him alive in a different, but Hillary-ish way, but he gets her to loosen up. 

 

And then you have Elena worried due to her resemblance to Hillary and the fact she is fighting for her man against a 'ghost.' Realistic to deal with with a doppelganger in their faces. 

 

That is...if Amanda will never be Hillary of course.

    • I still see Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton when Martin gets angry.
    • Not that I want to defend Y&R's writers, but it's not as absurd as you'd think and I believe they plucked it from reality (and then bungled it). The Estee Lauder Companies purchased Tom Ford's brand several years ago and I am willing to bet that's how Jabot came to buy Marchetti.
    • Loved the episode today. looking forward to the fallout. Nubian-Sheila looked fantastic, but I wish the writers would cut back on her overuse of figurative language. I loved the "fix yo mind ministries" line though. The background music during her fantasy confrontation with Nicole was epic.
    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.
    • You're welcome

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
