With just over a month to go, it doesn't look like there is any big event/story planned for the 50th.

Unless it is being kept under wraps.

Looks like the most we can hope for is most of the cast at the Not so Grand Phoenix for 'a shocking announcement that will change lives forever'

And at this point the only “shocking announcement” I would accept to shake up the show would be an alive and well Dru revealing herself.  Not likely at all lol and I’m quite sure JG would screw it up by making it boring. 
 

Take today’s episode. Sure we had a fun moment where Daniel fired Phyllis, the whole Jack/Kyle betrayal fight could have been at least had a bit more tension, but instead it felt so lifeless as the air was sucked out with Adam’s “Hey guys please stop fighting I really didn’t want to work at Jabot anyways”. 
 

25 years ago on Y&R I knew the whole Veronica Landers as Sarah the clumsy maid was bad hokey soap yet I was at least highly entertained by it. Here we are 25 years later there’s barely any soap happening and it’s probably the most boring thing on daytime since Jean Holloway’s 1979 failed tenure at Love of Life. Just sad.

I didn't mean that you knew. My apologies. It's just we have discussed it often in DAYS threads and with the Y&R Count thread a few months, I'm seriously wondering. 

 

And they have to have Victor in some capacity for the anniversary. It would be weird otherwise.

Partial broadcast disruption alert in western US:
Tues. Feb. 14, and Wed. Feb. 15
Tues. Feb. 21 and Wed. Feb. 22
due to European soccer tournament evening matches being broadcast live in USA.
This might affect either Y&R or B&B (or both soaps) depending on your timezone (Mountain,Pacific,Alaska,Hawaii)
The soaps are still airing, and not officially preempted, so if you miss an episode, your local station might air it at at different time.  Or just watch the epi on cbs.com.

One my guilty pleasures is counting the mistakes in Lynda Hirsch's weekly soap summaries.  I've always enjoyed Ms Hirsch's column, and consider her a valuable resource for soap fandom, but her editor is the worst.  Can you spot this week's error?

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "reports of her passing are greatly exaggerated".  She produces a column every week.  Although, I have no idea what newspapers still publish weekly soap summaries.  This week's paragraph on GH made me feel dizzy after reading it.

 Yes, Victor needs to be part of the 50th anniversary.

For the 25th anniversary there was some buildup to a big story. For the 50th anniversary there seems to be nothing. Y&R feels so hollow and empty.

2-6

 

I totally forgot that the Friday cliffhanger was Shirtless Nick finding out Sally also slept with Adam and it could be his baby. lol.

 

I admit while I continue to hate on the WTD storyline, I do like that the writers are playing it smart with Nick in that so far...he figured out that Sally was preggers and now he figured out Adam could be the dad. Both before she told him. That fact that due to his own history as well as being a father period, he just...knew. I kinda like that since Nick normally is played well...dumb?

 

Yes, Tucker. I can't wait for Ashley to get back, too.

 

Outside of that, I hope we see Jill IN town versus that computer screen. Though I love seeing her. And Devon vs Lily continues to be the main thing keeping my interest. And she still wants to work with Daniel. Hmmm.

    • Amanda Setton and Rena Sofer was once again really good in today's episode.  As a Lucky/Liz fan, I didn't like their scenes either.  And they are nowhere near a proposal because they haven't been given a real story.  
    • I don't think Lulu is written that badly.  Lucky they do seem to have no real interest in. I wonder if this is another story they have decided to wrap up abruptly as it makes zero sense to have what would have clearly been serious conflict between Liz and Lucky just get shrugged off by her. Maybe the intense viewer negativity toward Kristina got through to them.
    • This is what kills me about the complaints that the show is moving too slow. I don't think any of the other soaps has revealed as much as BTG has in the same time frame. Not only are stories moving but it's rotating as well. Y&R has been teasing that Dumas character since February with no reveal in sight. B&B was one day for the majority of May with very limited storylines. GH had a strong final week of May but the storylines had been dragging for months prior to that. I appreciate that BTG doesn't focus so much on recapping and keeps the stories moving. I have anticipation about certain ones like Martin and Anita's secrets but I'm not worried about it because the writers have proven they will keep these stories moving at a strong pace.
    • John and Marlena's love story is over.

      As I started watching in 1993, and they became my favourite couple because of storylines like The Affair, Maison Blanche, The Possession, Aremid, and The Secret Room - just five straight years of amazing stories.  The funny thing is, in all of those stories, John and Marlena were never truly together, but I was fine with that because I knew how much they loved each other - Deidre and Drake just had so much chemistry and made it so believable.   Deidre was fantastic today, especially in that last scene where Marlena told John it was okay for him to rest now.  I agree with @j swift, that having a body for Marlena, and everyone else, to say goodbye to was the right choice, as well as just having Marlena there alone as John dies.   Marlena: John, I love you so…. John: I love you too, Doc. Marlena: I need you to listen to me.  You have put up the bravest fight I have ever seen. The thing is I….I know you’re weary, I know you’re suffering…..If you need to go, it’s okay. I know that you’re worried me, about the children….You have given us all the love we will ever need. We will always have you in our memories. We will always hold you in our hearts. So…it’s okay if you rest now. You can rest now.   Bo and Hope are my second favourite couple, so for them to be part of this episode made it even more special.  I loved the inclusion of Zack - in the flashback and in the family scene at the Brady Pub.  John dies and Bo wakes up.  Two great love stories intertwining and showcased (loved the flashbacks!) in today's very emotional episode.     Great recap @Bright Eyes  
    • Given the way both Lulu and Lucky are written I can guess.  Do Lulu and Lucky even speak?  Lol Liz is useful to prop one of Frank's pets when they are failing, I suppose. It's shame GH loves to do the opposite of what fans want. 
    • Lol. I understand. For me, it's just John and Marlena are the couple that introduced me to DAYS and Young Me had such a crush on him since I saw his attractive self at Maison Blanche. And whether I regularly viewed or not, I always tried to stay checked in to how they were doing. Also Drake always was a cool man in interviews so I know today's episode is going to hit where it hurts.   I know I will have to watch eventually. Work, life, and internet connection are setbacks without me stalling. And I can say that I'm stalling somewhat. At least...like GH episodes on my system...I have some time before they get deleted, but I'm going to be a sobbing mess. 
    • Oh no, not the blob!!

      he’ll talk more as you continue your viewing  it’s such a jarring transition in ‘93 to Courtland Mead with his hammy sitcom delivery
    • Frank does not care about them and resents having to write for at least one of them.
    • I’m watching it tonight. I’ve been watching the new episodes simultaneously as I catch up in May

      I had to see John’s send off in real time.
