The funny part for me as a longtime AMC watcher, was how the scenes went from Anna's home (the former Chandler Mansion set) to the new eatery set. It was a missed opportunity not to use an existing AMC restaurant set since its so clear that the GH crew has access to them. Maybe Krystal's? The Valley Inn? 

It would be so funny if Anna could come visit Pine Valley, and catch Lucy/Felicia in their scheme. Only, to get Jack to help them based on their longtime friendship versus their scheming. God, Finola and Walt had so much chemistry together.

I forget if on AMC 2.0, did they explain where Jackson was? I know we had Bianca, Kendall, Miranda, did either of them mention what Uncle Jackson was up to?

Also - Felicia and Lucy are comedic gold. The actresses really found their groove again! I remember when RC did the retread of the the Aztec Jewels they were paired up again, but the chemistry was off. This was 100% 90's fun for me.

 

 

Never has a SINGLE player revitalized a show as much as Jane Eliot with this return. She is such a familiar flavor, in the role of Tracy Q. I never quite realized HOW MUCH I missed her. It is also lifting Amanda Setton's game as Brooklyn. I am finally liking her, moreso than the unique  Adrienne Leone who had owned this role in my eyes.

 

...lastly, can we finally get rid of Maxie. This role is NOT WORKING. I hate to say it, but even Sasha is growing on me in comparison.

@carolineg I agree with you completely about Sonny & the way they are using up his guarantees about half of the time. He's become a Loiterer. 

@BrendaB Me either. I was shocked to learn who Ava's bio mother was. But, it sits well. 

Anyone how did Lucy & Felicia get caught? Do we not know yet? 

One thing I have liked is these impassioned genuine mini-monologues. Anna to Sonny about them being in places in their lives where people sometimes want to kill them. And every decision they make leads them exactly to that place. Then yesterday Tracy temporarily abandoned both snark & sarcasm to entreat NEddie to come home & to fake it until he can make it & let her get him help.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
