Can Adam just confess he really wants Chloe already? I'd rather them as a pair rather than the back and forth between Adam/Sally and Adam/Chelsea. At least it would up the drama as both women realize they can't have him and he wanted someone else. Someone they confided in, for the most part. It would at least be dramatic and not ridiculous. Plus it would finally give Elizabeth Hendrickson something to do. She has done absolutely nothing on this show since the days of Chloe and Billy (Billy Miller) -- to be clear this wasn't a knock on EH. It's a knock on the writers.

It's kind of like what I just said in the LOVING/THE CITY thread: the writing on Y&R these days is serviceable.  Meaning, of course, it does the job...and nothing else.  It just doesn't have any "life," and that's because (IMO) so many characters have long played out or been written into corners they can't be written out of.  So, you know, even if a serial killer storyline meant the end of characters such as Jill, Traci, Lauren, etc....?  It'd suck to see them die, and see them die in such grisly fashion, but if it means jump-starting this show, then it's gotta be done.  Period.

If the serial killer's motive in bumping off various GC citizens because he feels that they have not been punished properly for their crimes, he could legitimately kill several cast members...

Let's see

Chloe shot Adam and is walking free.

Chelsea poisoned Rey and tried to frame Adam...walking free.

Adam switched his father's medication...walking free.

Nick impersonated his sister's ex and terrorized several women...walking free

And many more going back years.

Should kill Nikki too, of course. And at least make a serious attempt on Victor.

For someone who can cry on cue and produce somewhat credible emotions facially, Melissa Ordway is SO monotone and robotic in her delivery. Zero inflection or emotion in her voice.

Agreed.  And they're BOTH fairly charismatic, animated performers who either don't receive very good direction, or else they just ignore it and yawn their way through their scenes.  I saw them in a little interview, and they were both 10 times livelier than they are on the show.

This Devon/Abby stuff needs to end. It's so boring. Does anyone really care which one the baby ends up with? 

So Lily who was the head of a smaller division of Chancellor becomes CEO of the whole corporation and they keep her in the same office? Wouldn't the head of a smaller division have an office out of the way somewhere? Now everyone is expected to go find her? LOL

Is the Coffee House really struggling for income so badly that Sharon has to get orders for everyone? Hasn't Sharon accumulated some money from her failed marriages? She can't pay someone else so she can gossip with everyone that comes?

    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL).
