The way this Mariah story ended made the whole thing even worse. I was hoping all along that there was a red herring and the culprit would be revealed in the last seconds of the show (Friday cliffhanger). Too much to hope for evidently. This story may have seemed fine initially on paper, tying in all of these characters across the canvas, but the execution sucked bad.

Recent scandals aside how do Morina & Griffith even have jobs still at least creatively? They fumbled and lost Mealor & King, still haven’t recast Chance and right now there is zero storyline and direction for anyone on canvas.

The details are a bit fuzzy for me now lol but back in 2009 Daniel got himself in an art forgery ring that was run by Deacon, Ryder, and Daisy, and somehow one of the art thieves  in the ring was murdered and Daniel was accused of the thief's murder. The thief had actually been murdered by Daisy and/or Sarah Smythe(Sheila's sister lol) but they left a sloppy trail of evidence that Phyllis deduced they would find evidence exonerating Daniel in the GC landfill. Thus they all met in the landfill one late night and did find the evidence. Katherine & Murphy being in the landfill to assist Daniel & Amber's predicament was just a precursor to the helicopter they flew a few months later during the climax to the Sara Smythe story

It occurred during that messy period when the show had lost EB and MTS so you did not miss much lol.

I think the saddest thing about today's Y&R is that it reminds me of ATWT's final days where the potential is there but is definitely not being tapped at all and no improvement at all for the foreseeable future. UGH.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
