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 absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Oh and the cue when Leslie was having that fantasy was epic, very DAYS-like. They should keep it and develop it   Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
