Y&R is dusting off old Phyllis/Abby antics for this Phyllis/Sally feud. With Sally’s threat to hit Phyllis “where she least expects it,” it appears they’ll pivot from Sally pursuing Jack to Sally going after Nick. Nick doesn’t have a story beyond Faith, and Sally/Jack has been poorly received (due to their own poor execution, of course—you can’t play a May/December romance like that these days without playing the necessary beats, or people will be grossed out).


Clearly, folks are getting vaccinated (?) or guidelines have been loosened, as we’ve now seen Billy/Lily and Devon/Amanda lock lips.

I didn't catch it because I'm only half paying attention and it's incredibly rare for me to be watching the day it airs. That's funny. They didn't even need to reshoot, they could have just cut "grand" in post-production. They really don't care!

I just watched today's Canadian episode.  I kind of feel bad for Sally.  I honestly believe that she's trying to be a better person, but old habits die hard.  It's tough living away from home.  I just wonder what she's gonna do next.  I was in a similar situation 10 years ago.  Maybe Gloria and Sally will become friends.   Sally needs a motherly figure in her life right now.  She literally has no one.  

 

I'm glad that Jack and Sally are done now. He was old enough to be her father. It was kinda creepy. What the heck did they have in common besides being human?

I am really enjoying the new Moses. He is delightful and very cute. He definitely comes across as a real and good teenage boy. He has good chemistry with Devon and Nate. I enjoy seeing him bond with them, especially Devon. It was nice to see him and Devon bond more about Neil and Devon trying to help him learn more about Neil, by telling him more about his love for Jazz music on today's episode. I am also enjoying him with Faith. I am looking forward to seeing him interact with Lily and I hope that is soon. I could see them being close and her being protective, mama-ish towards her baby brother (like a lot of big sisters are towards considerably younger siblings).

I like how Sally stood up on the step to level up to Phyllis.

 

I wonder if Sally will play on Nick’s already-voiced insecurities about Phyllis’s relationship with Jack and weasel her way in. To me, their rivalry is the only story the show has with real tension.

I have bitched since the beginning that my problem with that story is that the show TOLD us Summer/Phyllis disliked Sally intensely but we were never given a proper reason other than "on first sight" which is hardly the spark of historic feuds.
That being said, lame as that was, NOW Sally has a reason to be pissed off so I might be more invested in the next twists of the back-and-forth.

And may I suggest Y&R casts Sally's mom (who I don't think we have heard anything about) with Sarah Buxton? A wonderful actress who I have been saying looks like she would be Courtney Hope's mom and would be a more age-appropriate match for PB's Jack.
Then put Sally and her mom against Phyllis and this is the war of the fiesty redheads and I am into it.

    • MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

    • Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.
    • Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
    • Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
    • This is the *new* Rachel Black who just started airing on DAYS 4/25/2025, but of course with the ginormous tape-to-airdate gap on DAYS, she'll be airing on DAYS for months to come. And yet now she'll be new ex-Rachel. LOL.
    • As someone who cut ties with the show a little while after Chris Van Etten came back, I can’t talk on what the show is like now… is the show that bad? But even as a rumour, that’s pretty wild and radical. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.
    • Yes, I know JK is getting on in years, but perhaps he and his family (wife and/or son) could work with him as co-headwriters on the new TEON! I would also be available as a story consultant!

    • It's too bad they didn't see it through. Alan and Van could have married for all the wrong reasons and ended up caring for each other, with Ross in the wings and possibly Rita, too, to cause trouble. Rita was a LITTLE BIT of a schemer. She was kind of the Nola of her era, without the goofy personality. She deliberately went after Ed because she thought he would give her the lifestyle she wanted. She could do malicious things, i.e. cooly seduce Evie's crush (who was played by Jordan Clark, btw) and string him along until she was sure she had Ed. While Rita claimed to be deeply in love with Alan at the time she departed, part of the attraction for her was his money and power. As well as sharing aspects of Nola's character, she was also a more subtle version of Reva-she grew up poor and always wanted more than she had.
    • I'm not that surprised, in just the little we've seen of her she's been a complete natural. Even better than a handful of the adults.
