Phyllis sounded so pathetic when she admitted out loud she left her career JUST to spy on Diane. These women are so obsessed with her like she’s done anything worse than any of them. It’s like Nikki forgets her drunk ass did knock Diane over the head with a big ass rock. The whole reason she was able to fake her death.

I had joked about Connor and Johnny being demon seed kids in another thread lol but actually the scenes of them were actually cute, although the dialogue that was written for two preteen boys was horrible lol.

The viewer discretion warning at the beginning  yet no PSA ending was strange. Chelsea’s unraveling has been a long time coming though, and probably more of a nice reason Chelsea to take a loonnnggggg around the world vacation with her mother after this story is over. 

For a Friday episode though it was seriously boring overall….I mean half the episode was devoted to Devon and Abby commiserating together….Maybe this show the show needs to also ad a warning about the show inducing narcolepsy as well?

Someone tried lighting into me on YouTube because I said that the depression story would be so much more impactful and resounding with a character people care about, or even like. Chelsea is not that! The acting is good, but Chelsea isn't exactly going to leave sinkhole in the canvas. She's been isolated for a while. Her mother  hasn't even been involved! At this point, just lock her up after a breakdown and forget her.

Agreed. Very irresponsible.  If they want to show that drama, then post the hotline info, too, it's not that hard.


Well they tweeted this.  988 is the new suicide line in the USA since July 2022.

They put the same message on the official Y&R facebook here:

I have seen nothing yet on Y&R instagram.

And the Y&R youtube shows only the clip of Chelsea about to jump.

Unless you checked the Y&R twitter or facebook that day, you'd miss it.  They should've put a PSA within the episode.

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
