It's really disgusting. 

We wanted to fire Josh Griffith for being boring.

But Billy's lines today that "oh well I had a wild side back then so it was fine, and enjoyed it" ... THAT is a fireable offense for a modern writer, in my opinion.

What does that say to rape victims of any gender?

I've been watching here and there recently and there is a good set of characters still on. It's unfortunate how the stories are nonexistent or very slowly paced with nothing happening.

How incredibly hot did Mark Grossman look in bed shirtless the other day..... Lord he looked beautiful!

So they make repeated references to the extra security at Jabot, and then Stark is able to walk into the office, with a throwaway line about how he can be persuasive-ridiculous.

Meanwhile it is endlessly amusing to watch the two Society waitstaff  scurry about when there are NO customers.

And Sharon chats to fellow cast members while her one employee wipes tables as there are NO  customers.

I'm about ready to start a GoFund Me to raise the couple of thousand it would cost to hire some extras.

So does Chance even realize that Johnny is his cousin?  

I loved how he talked about Ryan today.  Y&R really needs Nina back with him if they are not going to play his connections to Genoa City.  There are many possiblities, Chloe, Daniel was a great friend, Billy is his Uncle, Jill?, Christine was like an Aunt.

Hadn’t watched today but was Billy raped by Chelsea? I don’t recall. The show was such a mess at the time I remember Billy in the cage in Myanmar with Victor gawking and then pregnant Chelsea coming to town with Anita, but I don’t remember how Chelsea got pregnant other it was written as a sleazy one night to which Chelsea was responsible for sending him to jail, but of course given that all was written Hogan Sheffer.

Tragic that his ghost still haunts this show today with all his bad decisions (Billy, Adam, Diane, Chelsea, Sharon)

So what happened today???? The torrent isn't on yet and I laughed out loud at the sight of Phyllis' Spell coming back to her

Isn't he screwing a sugar baby??? At least is the impression I got

URGH! I was gonna ask about that scene too, I was expecting like "Oh Forget it" but that sounds soooooo gross

Also I got the shock of the week today realizing Melissa Claire Egan is Already 41! In my mind I honestly thought she was from 1989 and 33 yo

Hopefully it will turn out that's Billy in Denial, it would be nice to explore this side to him, a man's man who was quite the womanizer (Or The Town Slut as Chloe once said) have been Raped by Chelsea, the ramifications are numerous and could be incredible! Not to mention a chance of Bonding between Victor and Him, considering Tricia raped Vic years ago too

Christine was well written well her family was Writing the show! Nowadays Christine is a glorified day player who appears once in a While usually to deliver bad news, I Mean There's Paul, She has a Fling with Nick Once, She's Lauren's ex sis in law and they were friendly, She's Scott's Aunt, There's Nina, I hate when they ignore so many ties a character has

    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.  
    • Today, was a fantastic episode. I loved everything about, including Ainta singing, Amazing Grace. I love the family dynamic of the Dupree's so much. They remind me of my own family at times. Martin & Smitty have come leaps and bounds from where they  started. I genuinely felt a connection between them I can't wait to watch it deepen. Dana/Leslie/Sherry/Ana is a piece of work. Her speech at the Dupree's about her "concern" for Eva and then locking her out of their apartment??? She is pure evil, but I love it. I can't wait to see where the Eva/Kat story goes. There's so much potential there. As for Ted, I need to see Keith Robinson in the role before giving my true critique of Maurice Johnson.
    • I don't recall that we ever saw the exterior of the Madison house.  BUT the interior is definitely Mission Revival.  It has a wrought-iron staircase, and all the doorways & corridors have archways.  I watched a few old episodes over the weekend from that period and really noticed for the first time how uniquely Mission Revival the set is.  
    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.
