I remember Paul, Lauren, Diane, and Andy arriving at Victor and Nikki's wedding together. Did Lauren and Diane not have a formal falling out?

I do not remember much Lauren/Diane time from Susan's last run. But Lauren was much more a recurring player at that time. Other than chasing after Paul, she did not have much of storyline until she fell into the Fisher orbit.

3-29

 

NINA!!!! Walked right back in and it was like she NEVER left. Loved seeing her with Tracy and then when I realized that it was two WRITERS talking...my writer heart did a little giggle. And yes on her lighting into Abby. Not as good as Amanda, but I could live for just watching TC act. And Abby is lucky Nina didn't slap her. I loved how the camera angle was, too...as close to an old school Y&R angle as we have gotten lately. 

 

I am also loving that when scenes are going on that there are extras AND cast members sitting in the background.

 

Diane vs Phyllis continues to entertain. And the writing for 3-28...who did that because Diane and Phyllis read each other down. And YAAASSSS DIANE!!! SLAP THAT HEFFA!!! Bring it? Diane BROUGHTH it!!! Meanwhile, Phyllis continued to spin that web and I liked that Summer did not immediately fall for it. I loved that Jack and Kyle wanted to doubt, but Kyle's phone was found. I am feeling beats. And I know above I said I still am smarting from the lack of a Audra/Noah/Allie triangle, but AL's 'if looks could kill' stare at Audra when Audra gave Kyle his phone has now sold me on throwing Audra in Kyle/Summer direction.

 

Hmmmmm as I watched that Victor/Jill scene. If Devon/Lily have resolved their differences, where is this story going? It seems like Devon might take up McCall Unlimited. But it seems like JC is still leaving it open to keep Devon vs Lily alive.

 

I found that Nina/Christine talk interesting. Are the writers trying to show cracks in that marriage with Paul finally? Or just working toward another Danny/Christine moment?

 

Speaking of...GINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Love seeing her and Danny. I just wished that they had given them more of an entrance which I've felt all the returning characters so far have gotten. 

 

That Billy/Chelesa kiss was

Didn't want it. Didn't need it. 

 

Leeanna though (not to mention Chloe's dress and her remembering her fashionista roots)...LOVE. Leeanna has really been a breath of fresh air throughout these anniversary episodes and she has chemistry with EVERYONE. Can we keep her??? She's the kinda of busybody that has been missing on this show. And the lady is a vamp. 

 

The episodes were so good in fact, I went ahead and spoiled myself on tomorrow. Yeah, THAT'S a doozy. But I'll wait to see it in its entirety.

The way they love to use "mental health" as a buzzword on this show, how is nobody noticing that Phyllis is going through a major mental health crisis? 

 

I like how Jeremy and Phyllis seem to think if they steal the ring, Diane and Jack aren't engaged anymore.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
