Maybe those two should hook up!

   Imagine the after conversation--

Billy "Was I good enough?"

Noah  "Well, my sister-in-law was in my head the whole time"

Billy    "But did I meet the requirements, or was I just 'there' " "Sometimes I don't know if I am how people expect me to be"

Audience falls asleep.  Business as usual

I was not expecting to enjoy that wedding as much as I did. I just felt that there were so many character beats that there was no need for drama. It was just fascinating to watch. I was actually annoyed that Diane crashed.

 

So...nuSummer? So far, I like her. I felt she was using a lot of HK's mannerisms, but was making it her own. And she definitely looks like MS's daughter. I expect good things.

 

Speaking of Diane, those camera angles when she walked in and the look she had on her face thinking no one saw her...only to see one single saw her: Phyllis. And if looks could kill..hmmmm. 

 

I don't know when it happened, but I guess I am liking nuNoah. Or I saw a hint of what people have mentioned about the actor having more personality on social media. 

 

Still not feeling nuChance, but was that a spark between him and Sharon?

 

And I liked finally seeing Moses.

I don’t even know why this show even bothers with business stories anymore as they have stopped making an sense. It would be one thing if it was something like someone had a new marketing idea for Jabot or Fenmore’s but the dialogue is horrible.

If they want a business story that will play out like a soap opera, Y&R ought to have one of those companies be a social media platform instead of a podcast. Every day there are new twists and turns in this Twitter saga that reads like a kind of tech media soap opera.

As I said in the spoiler forum, at least a chunk of GC’s citizens of interest (ie Sharon, Moses, Faith, Allie, Sally, Billy and Lily) should been in Crimson Lights to be witness the the bitch-slapping going on between the two with the gossip spreading like wildfire. 
 

At least it was fun to see Nikki and Diane go at it. The Diane and Traci scenes were very pleasing as well. Susan Walters continues to do an excellent job of a haunted yet now slightly optimistic woman. 
 

New Summer is doing well IMO. So much more spark with energy and actually has a bit of a believable edge to her. Only downside is she’s been given some atrocious dialogue lately.

Actually as a whole the dialogue has been really strange lately, you would think some 90-year old is writing some of this thinking they’re witty and smart LMAO.

    • 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.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
