Monday’s episode was very watchable. I wish they’d given us some more flirtation between Jill and Jack though. Their scenes felt a little too sweet and didn’t have the underlying tension they typically have. 
 

The absolutely star was Tricia Cast. She slips into character so easily and Nina has such a youthfulness and she’s screaming for story. Tricia Cast can make anything work, so seeing her have such a strong handle on her character makes me want more. The fact that she never worked with Justin and made it feel soooo real! Speaking of, I’d definitely accept him as a recast. Ideally I’d do Mark Lawson and Emme Rylan, but just replacing Donny would help so much. 
 

The big downfall for me in this episode was Melissa Ordway. I don’t care what anybody says, she is a disgrace. She can’t act AT ALL and seeing the episode centered around her was cringeworthy. I don’t understand how she has lasted in the role so long with this quality of work and lack of chemistry with any leading man OR family member. The only exception is Eileen Davidson. She is truly a disgrace.

I'm caught up! I never get to participate in these threads. 

 

I was pleasantly surprised they mentioned Ronan at all.

 

The dialogue about how they are all part of important families is so bad. No one talks like that. When Jill was talking to the picture I thought she might want to head to the backyard and say hello to Phillip as well, after all he's the grandfather of the groom.

I was picking.

But seriously...agree. The only good thing about that story from that time was that 1)it destroyed Phick and 2)the smackdown Nina gave Phyllis. 

 

I hope Round 2 comes this time around.

Can we keep Gaston but lose the Drawl?  Chance didn't grow up in Nashville---that's Scott Reeves (ex-Ryan) that lives there.  Chance didn't sound like this when Driscoll was in the role.   Forgetting everything about Boaz's performance would just be wonderful--thanks

 

Jill and Nina mixing it up with Jack, Traci, Ashley, Victor, Nikki, Esther, Devon---and flashbacks!  All in all a decent episode minus Snaggletooth and her frat boy brother and of course, Staph infuction.  All thre didn't need to be on pre-wedding.  They could easily have arrived later. (Tomorrow's episode)  Victoria with Traci and Ash talking about Brad--- just why?  And who exactly has been clamoring for Nick and Phallus?

 

 

Wow!   they bothered to remember that Abby was with Tyler.  That actually surprised me.   Abby's Maid of honor should have been Lola, though.  She and Mariah are only recently civil...just saying

 

Nice break from Bummer's whining.   Why is she getting a business again?  It seems like rather than consolidating these assorted businesses, they are branching out----- Except Josh Griffith is terrible at business stories.   Terrible.

 

Do you all see how truly unnecessary Chelsea, Adam, Chloe, Kevin and Lola are?

 

Again--- please lose Boaz and Chance's unnecessary accent.   Gaston and Cast had a nice chemistry--let's just fit Boaz with a new MAGA hat and a placebo for that imaginary disease he didn't get not wearing that mask--the one that violates his wights......

Phyllis is at the top of the list to be dropped - there's nothing left for her. 

Bringing back Chelsea, Chloe and Kevin for nothing of interest.

Lose those 4 and free up the canvas for some other returns or interesting new characters.

Rey and Lola might as well head out also.

And Josh Griffith...

— Justin Gaston is a good chance and worked well with Tricia Cast and Melissa Ordway. Wish they’d keep him.

 

— I usually love flashbacks, but the only ones that worked were Abby with her former partners. The others seemed forced. Abby’s wedding and we need to see an ancient clip of Jill and Katherine? With those flashbacks and the wasted scenes withNick and Phyllis, the episode seemed disjointed to me.

 

— The social distancing on Y&R is still awful. Chance and Nina didn’t even touch let alone hug? It’s too unnatural. Same with Nick and Phyllis. Why have talk about romance and sex when they can’t even stand next to each other? Meanwhile, on GH, everyone is hugging.

 

— Abby’s bathroom crying jag and locking herself in was a pathetic cliche. The girl is wailing about being immature??? Irony is dead. Let her have second thoughts, but avoid painting her like a stupid teenager. I think that’s the biggest problem with Abby...the writers won’t let her grow up. 
 

— More Abby: she stayed in that locked bathroom through all that begging and prodding from Mariah and Ashley? Yeah, I get it — they wanted Chance to draw her out. They did it all, all wrong.

 

— It’s a minor thing, but when Jill arrived and ordered Esther around, I wanted Esther to snark back at her instead of grumbling under her breath and then acting like a damn maid.

I tuned in for Tricia Cast and it was great to see her.  But Melissa, you're dead on.  That made me change the channel - the nervous breakdown over getting married? - I wanted to slap her and didn't care.  Emme Rylan was let go from GH and I read she is just travelling around the country with family now.  Y&R should get her back.  The different Chance is definitely an improvement over the other one I saw - they should permanently recast if they're not going to ditch Melissa.  She's terrible.

For instance Chloe & Chelsea duplicate each other. It reminds me of Willow and Sasha on GH. Pick one to remain on canvas. Or at least change the others personality so they won't be so interchangeable. 

 

And to tell you the truth I didn't miss Chloe & Kevin. They could go off to Silicon Valley with Bella and Miles tomorrow and I won't shed on tear and that's sad.

    • I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
    • This episode is beyond excellent Could have waited on tge Trina Kai scenes  but regardless  great soap
    • Haha same! I didn't like her in the beginning, but over time, I've really grown to love to hate her as a villain.  I can't wait to listen to today's new episode later tonight! I've been waiting for the mom and dad (Crystal/Vincent) to have an interaction, so I'm happy to hear it's today.
    • I've always really been enjoying the show. It's very well produced and has so many soap stars in it. I was just listening to ep 7 on YoutTube and can say I'm hooked. There was an intense scene with Crystal Chappell and Vincent Irizarry about halfway through that was GOOD! Is it bad I kind of like Mina? I know she's supposed to be the main villian 
    • This isn't a bad episode, but I'm finding myself not as engaged. Must be the lack of Eva and Leslie. No Nicole, Dani. 
    • Yes!! I didn't realize it before, and had a busy weekend, so wasn't here much

      Wow, what happened to AMC this week? Crashing from 8.4 to 6.6.. I mean, I know they used to go up and down much more than they do today, but this seems like a harsh drop (from 7th to 13th). And nice to see Y&R's first weeks  
    • Why did they cut Chelsea coming out to her grandparents? We should have seen that
