Bell could definitely go off the deep end sometimes with saccharine.  Remember that terrible episode on the 4th of July when Victor had to "straighten out" that guy who didn't share Victor's belief that the USA is the "greatest country on earth"?  Awful.  

Friday's (horrible) episode was evidently designed to be a "stand alone episode" that could air Friday the 23rd, even if a preemption threw off the schedule.  There's one thing worse than being off a day, and Friday's show is the one thing worse!

 yeah it’s a cringe moment for sure then to top it all off Brock starts singing his famous battle hymn. 
 

Didn’t Victor have a similar scene his very first 4th of July, 11 years earlier when he punched out someone for not sharing his beliefs on America as well.

Well I'm a Teriah fan so I loved the Friday 23rd episode! 

The only thing I hated about it was ... Tessa bought Mariah a romantic night at the Grand Phoenix (which is in the same building as the Glam Club) ... 
but Tessa wore striped pajamas, and Mariah slept in sweats.
WTF?  They should either have been wearing lingerie or nothing.
The ladies were allowed to to dress up at the Glam club in the evening but then later that night it was ugly sleepwear.  I guess The Idiots In Charge didn't want to broadcast lesbian lovemaking on Christmas Eve.

It's definitely a set that has elements of Brad's old house in it. And thank goodness for that - it was a beautiful set and consequently, Diane's hideout looks a helluva lot better than what we'd normally see in a new Y&R set. 

I tuned in as it's Christmas break and just like it is every time I dip into Y&R, the show feels like it's in a constant holding pattern. Aside from the Diane storyline, and the scenes between Tucker/Ashley and Ashley/Jack, the show feels incredibly stale.

The cabin was also used during the JT "murder".  I believe Nikki, Phyliss, Sharon and Victoria were hiding there too from JT.

Diane, Ashley and Traci were the highlights of today's show. I've never really been a fan of PB Jack version. Tucker/TSJ was adorable today in the Santa hat and the bag of presents.

Ah, Danny & Cricket redux. The flashbacks were good, obviously the first one was from 1994 while I think the second one came from the 6/1/2012 episode. However sad to see Christine all alone moping around thinking about Danny…plus Christine follows Phyllis on Instagram…?

The Daniel, Danny, and Phyllis scenes were a highlight and poignant.

Meanwhile as @janea4oldmentioned in the spoiler forum, in case no one has watched today’s yet the Billy/Chelsea scenes are bizarre (unbreakable egg game?) and FF-worthy.

Hopefully Christine follows Danny and/or Daniel. I doubt she would ever follow Phyllis on social media.

I love all the glares Danny gave Phyllis every time she opened her mouth.

I wonder if they are going to say that Paul and Christine separated or divorced off-screen.

We didn't need those Billy and Chelsea scenes, as once again he tries to do his best Deepak Chopra on her.

Ok, I was totally drawn in by this. Loving that Danny is back, and already interacting with so many other vets on the canvas.

Ages ago, I came up with an alternative Danny return story, involving him coming back to Genoa City, and shocking everyone by telling them that he had married Patty offscreen (and she would come back on later). The amount of shockwaves it would cause right across the canvas would be insane…

    • 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.
