At least the show seems to be getting their money's worth out of the Villa sets. 

This will be a squandered opportunity though unless two things happen:

1. There's some kind of catfight in a fountain between Summer and Sally.

2. Jessie Gaines ends up dead on the property and everyone's a suspect.

LOL I forgot all about Noah, Tessa, Zach, Abby and the trafficking story. They brought back Alice Johnson to kill her off right for that? Yikes. I think that was the transition between SSM and Mal taking full control. 
 

Speaking of past events it seems like this wedding, while the villa set is nice and all and looks a lot better than Y&R has a lot lately maybe about the most of overhyped uneventful non-event since Kyle & Lola’s wedding. Fan theories are definitely more interesting than anything playing out on the show right now. Ugh.

Victoria had a blink and miss phone call with Reed about him not coming to the wedding.

Still not sure how Billy managed to waltz into the palazzo unnoticed with Jesse Gaines in tow and know which bedroom was available for him.

Why are they making such a deal of this place being owned by Victor? Nikki was saying they had had many wonderful trips there.

Why not just say they rented a place for 2 weeks or so for the wedding. There are many such places available for that purpose.

I wish they would've had Leslie at least mention her son Brooks or her sisters. i.e. Lorie is finally writing dad's life story. Or Lorie, Peggy, Trish and I finally met our nephew Theo. Brooks is running Prentiss Industries in San Francisco.

 

Give me something other than her playing the piano and bonding with characters with no connection to her. Though I did like her accompanying Tessa on the piano.

Yes,Jack should have mentioned Theo to Leslie. 

A pity it was Victoria Mallory that interacted with Nikki when Leslie gave her piano lessonsway back when- a flashback would have been a treat for long time viewers and a way to educate any newer viewers who are wondering why everyone is making a fuss of Les.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought the dresses Sally and  Phyllis had on had more flair than the wedding dress. Victoria's didn't look bad. It didn't live up to the hype of the story...I suppose it matches the wedding in general. Just flat.

Because I try to keep things positive, I will say also that I am actually glad that Sally finally has a story - even if it is C-story - that makes sense with her past (very Spectra of her) and where her motives and actions are clear. 
I am in no illusion this can last but it is a relief to know the potential of the B&B character can translate, which was hard to see with the muddled mess that was the writing for her until now.
It is not extraordinary writing but it is a Sally I *get*.

    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react. 
    • 5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama. 
    • I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
    • I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in. 
    • You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.
    • Has anyone even told Gio that Sonny once shot Dante?
    • There are so many missed opportunities and story beats that could be played out on B&B. Hope was finally able to successfully move on from Liam, with Thomas, and what does Brad Bell do, he ruins it. Hope & Thomas, baggage and all, were really good together. Why Thomas is off the canvas is mind boggling, yet we have a terrible and completely useless character in Daphne still there, please make it make sense. I think Rick is needed on the show too. Have him come back and hook up with Taylor again. That would create some really good drama and cause Ridge & Brooke's heads to explode.  And for God's sake just recast RJ and bring Jack to the show as an adult to rip Brooke a new one for basically ignoring him all these years. But yeah, just my opinion
