In Stafford's mind controversial could mean people actually calling Phyllis out on her bs, haha. But I'm keeping an open mind. The show has been solid.

Whatever it is, she said it's intense. Maybe she gaslight Diane? One of the spoilers for May was she plots revenge from beyond the grave.

I think you've said you'd like or, think Eddie would be the one to play Matt again, if it's him, I have a question. I never saw the Carter Mills plastic surgery story. What was Ric Hearst like as Matt? Was he good or not really.

Ric was amazing as Matt. That's why they brought him back as Ghost Matt for as long as they did, he and Sabryn had incredible chemistry.

It's a shame Tricia has never been brought back or even referenced since that storyline ended. But as we all know Victoria has had two very distinct lives.

Rick was great as Matt. I loved that storyline despite its darkness. I really hope it's not Cameron, but Sharon having a story means I'll take what I can get.

Is it me or does Michael Graziadei's performances not seem as sincere and deep as they used to be? He seems almost comical in some of them. I am not buying Daniel's grief, confusion and turmoil like I am Summer's. It's weird to say because "The Graz" used to be one of my favorite actors back in the day.

I love Audra stirring the pot.

 

 

Tommorow is the first episode without breakdown writers only people listed were: Josh Griffith, Amanda Beall and two script writers, Brent Boyd and Marin Gazzaniga

Mildly intrigued by the Sharon spoilers but have zero faith in Josh to follow through.

Cameron seems the most likely at this point.

So Yolanda/Harmony returns after years and in true Josh fashion there's nothing to it. She is doing well, embraces all round and 'bye girl!'-probably never to be seen again.

Josh has been running things for years and Yoharm never got a mention-now we are supposed to believe Devon had been in touch. If that was the case why did Tucker have to invite her?

I find Malcolm/Shemar irritating at this point. I know it was a somber occasion but his whole attitude screamed 'special guest star delivering some gravitas'

A copy of the Diane story with the texting.

I tuned in for the Neil tribute and while it was nice to see Yolanda and Malcolm, it fell flat. I get that these are really tributes to Kristoff and not Neil, but from a story perspective, it makes no sense not to mention Dru. Devon and Lily lost *two* parents. Devon was only accepted into the family because of Dru. Sharon was there and was Dru’s best friend. It just is odd they don’t mention her. 
 

Even having Daniel there upset about Phyllis would’ve been the perfect opportunity to mention that Phyllis cost Lily her mom. That could play into Daniel’s emotions, having Lily use her moms death to comfort Daniel with him know Phyllis is alive.

It seems Sony/CBS has declared a détente with VR, bringing her back for the KSJ tribute and the 50th anniversary event, yet the Dru erasure continues. Maybe they think it’s ancient history 16 years after her departure or they’re so used to excluding her or believe that it’s a distraction from honoring Neil (which would be stupid—she was the love of his life). They’ve essentially Keemo’d her, mentioning her every once in a while. Yet Dru obviously had far more significance to Y&R than Keemo, which makes how she’s handled more glaring. Maybe they feel no one cares, which would partially be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

They’re very aware that any prolonged mention of Dru would create a firestorm online and calls to bring her back and that’s exactly what they don’t want. They don’t care that it makes no sense story wise. 

It really is insulting how they pretend Neil was World's Greatest Dad with Devon and that their relationship was the central axis. I barely ever watch this show and even I knew back then that adopting Devon was Dru's focus, that he was her project and that she got the entire family onboard, to say nothing of the fact that the entire storyline was Victoria Rowell's brainchild in the first place.

Eric Braeden went live a few days ago, he said some of the scenes being filmed this week were a lot of stunts and included blood.

 

At least they are trying to up their ante. I think these posts would go better in the spoiler section, personally.
