It’s too stupid for words. Granted, the whole story was stupid, so it’s a blessing that it’s over, but this is the pattern. Dumb sh!t drawn out, then abandoned.

Jason Thompson deserves better because he’s actually doing good work.

In service of bullsh!t.

Whatever happened to ashland? He seems to have become a supporting character when he should be instigating stuff.

Devon needs to guzzle a giant can of STFU. He agreed to be a sperm donor. Abby and Chance are giving him access to Dom and he's acting all put out that he can't have a bigger role in the kid's life. Too bad.

Traci was drafted in to replace Jack in her scenes.

I don’t know what they’re doing with Devon. It’s one thing to give him a sense of regret, or if they really pushed the idea that Abby and Chance were neglectful parents. (Or if Chance was having PTSD that made him potentially dangerous. They’ve toyed with it.) But this makes him look terrible, and the resulting drama isn’t strong enough to be worth it. 

The surrogate story has been an albatross for all involved.

This is why I hate surrogacy storylines on soaps: the sperm/egg donor inevitably becomes so attached to the baby that they end up making life hell for the couple who would otherwise be childless.  It's become a cliche, and it paints a very negligent picture of surrogacy.

Y&R under the current powers that be are in the process of ruining yet another character.  This time, Devon, who's being an a-hole for thinking about suing for custody when he agreed and signed paperwork to say he would have no ties to Dominic.   What's next?  Amanda, saying she snuck a clause in so that Devon can get Dominic away from Abby & Chance?  SMFH

Pretty much. Yikes!

If anything at the very least I think better drama would come out of it if Devon began desperately wanting his own son and began pressing Amanda to bore and/or adopt a child. Amanda is very hesitant/reluctant about it as she wants to be more stability and also a bit apprehensive about it as she remembers Hilary was pregnant when she died. Imani however becomes close to Devon and a lot more open to hearing of Devon’s plight, causing friction between the three. 
 

But the show would actually have to write for Imani….

Imani reappears to flirt with Nate - again, and Elena grimaces.

They needn't have bothered taping that scene as it's been played several times. Just insert it from a previous ep.

As for high drama, Phyllis is being sued by an unhappy client over the Escrap Club. Several minutes were spent on that nonsense.

Business intrigue in the corridor at Newman Media.

Amanda and Imani are going great guns at their new law firm! You know, the  one we have never seen .

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
