Did Mamie leave the party? Is Veronica Redd's return engagement over? Or are we going to get the Winter kids scene with her later? What a waste of a cameo if this is all we got.

Poor Michael,

I'm still waiting for Lauren to finally Acknowledge She was Friends With Diane Once!

She is in total denial and Enabling Phyllis 

I hope it wasn't the End, and I Still want her present on Jack's Wedding To Diane

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.

I know Diane WAs friends with Isabella, who Initially was good and was fighting for Paul against Lauren, Lauren wasn't around for Most of Alex Donelly's second run that I know for sure

It was over Michael who started that feud back in 1998. Phyllis was jealous that Michael was spending so much time with Diane over her divorce case with Victor.

[BoldRestless]

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.

[dragonflies]

This is typical Phyllis though, so is it really a mental health issue with her? This is just basically another day in Phyllis world

It's to MS's credit though that it could go either way.
