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.

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'

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.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
