Not too much exactly. Jill was married into the Abbotts when the original Patty/Jack/Diane triangle went down but I don’t know much Jill had to say in that matter except to complain about Patty moping around all the time lol. Jill and Diane were definitely on opposing sides during the time Brad and Jack took over Newman and had some words with each other for sure, but nothing major. The two overall existed in separate orbits and never had much reason to intersect.

I really don’t remember Jill and MW’s Diane interacting at all. Jill was dealing with Colin and the death of Cane followed by arrival of Genevieve

, while Diane was in bed with all the Newmans. I suppose the only interaction if they had any would be some party or something, so weird to think Diane was also having the occasional one nighters with Tucker. 

Speaking of Lauren, when’s the last time Jill interacted with her?

Overall the tribute episode was pretty good but it also showed the shortcomings of failing to properly expand the Abbott family as well as the the destruction of the Abbotts over the years.

Ashley should have had at least one more kid in there somewhere…maybe a son by Stephen Lassiter that was raised by Victor while Traci should have had at least two other kids fathered by Steve Connelly.

Brad and Colleen should have never been killed off. Actually Ashley’s son Robert could have easily lived as well. 
 

Jack Smith, Latham, MAB, and Mal Young all have Abbott blood on their hands. 
 

I’m still holding out hope that Allie’s mystery mother turns out to be Mari Jo Mason

Actually pretty good at the moment, especially since new Summer is such a breath of fresh air, Kyle is more mature now and the return of Diane has really changed up the dynamics. The Abbott family has definitely been energized again, something that’s been needed for a long time now. 
 

As Y&R’s 50th anniversary approaches it would be great to see Allie and Ashley work in the lab together to come up with a new potion for Jabot while Traci writes a book and finally snags up washed up Danny along the way lol. 
 

Agreed!! Amazingly the current regime hasn’t shied away from Brad flashbacks before, Idk if it was the Covid reruns or not but Brad flashbacks occurred in the 12000th episode and a couple times last year as well. If there is one thing current Y&R does really well it is nostalgia and acknowledging its past.

Killing off Colleen and ignoring Keemo all those years were probably the biggest mistakes re The Abbotts as well as the multiple pointless marriages of Jack and Ashley.

Keeping the kids to a minimum looks a wise move in terms of later decisions to give everybody kids - now we have Connor, Chtristian, Johnny, Katie, Reed,Bella,Miles etc who are barely if ever seen and have to be written around.

Some good flashbacks even though we didnt meditate enough on each scene. 

Lol Ashkey kind of embelleshed how Victor came to be Abby's dad

The anniverasry episodes have been the best episodes in the past few years, as well as the Diane episode with the heavy amount of flashbacks.

Haha right!  the less we say about Genevieve and her famous lip biting…the better! 
 

i think honestly it was 2017 when Scotty was missing, that we saw Lauren beg Jill for money to help her “nephew” or something like that and Jill had to turn her down…that was the last time I remember them sharing scenes. Sally Sussman wanted to undo that stupid sister stuff, but I guess at least, Young, Griffith and Morina are just ignoring it.

 

I really hope this coming January we have a 40th anniversary episode for Tracy Bregman/Lauren!

    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
