Hehe at @DramatistDreamer. I swear they are spying on your story about Daniel, Heather, and Lily now. My system has been in and out so I'm sure I've missed a lot of it, but they do appear to be playing it and loving Vail Bloom back and she DOES have a bit of chemistry with MG, too. 

 

The last time I regularly viewed Y&R, Daniel and Summer had washed their hands of Phyllis now that she was out. So watching Giggly Heffa ki-king with Summer was RME.

 

I am very happy we are still seeing the Chancellor manison post Ashley/Tucker wedding. 

 

Speaking of that...where is Ashley?

You did say you wanted Heather to be an obstacle for Daniel/Lily and wanted a triangle to slooowwwly build. I believe last week she announced she's staying in town and I loved the scenes I just watched between the two of them today. But VB is gorgeous lol. I loved that red on her. 

 

Speaking of red, of course Giggly Heffa is trying to manipulate.

For years, I insisted that As The World Turns might have lasted a few more years if they had hired me.

Seriously, I never understood why these soaps never bothered to recruit directly from the writing departments of the top arts schools.

I just came across this clip which likely explains why MG and VB might actually have that bit of chemistry.

Apparently, Phyllis was also on trial back then…somethings never change.

Wow. Quite a few things going on that I am actually liking.

 

First of all, let me shake my head. What was the point of doing all this buildup with Tucker/Ashley and getting invested...only for him to fall back into bed with Audra again...who is still sleeping with Kyle? Another WTD storyline...please no. All that comes out of this storyline (I hope) is a well-timed Ashley Abbot slap. 

 

And I can give credit where credit is due. At least they did establishment scenes (with flashbacks) to show Summer having the realization that she has feelings for Chance. And AL as usual did that so well as well. But I'm down for Sharon/Chance/Summer. Anything to keep Sharon on my screen doing something other than coffee. 

 

And we all know I'm here for Lily/Daniel/Heather. In fact, I continue to be so happy that Daniel has been around for so long now. Has it been a year yet? 

 

I admit that I giggled at Victoria getting demoted. 

 

Which reminds me...loving all the shirtless men on display. Also loving the cameramen getting those back angles right...hehe. 

 

Especially since they seem like they are borrowing from your story ideas anyway.  

 

Thank you for the clip. And yes, I (and Amber ugh) can tell they have some chemistry. And I'm enjoying them very well. But it also shows why we need more young people. More young and AMBITIOUS people. It's a shame Noah and Allie (and Faith and Moses) are already gone. 

 

HAHAHA!!!! Yes, Red stays in court.

Something else I enjoyed this week. So good to see more of Esther now that she's running Crimson Lights for Sharon.

 

I hope not tbh. Because if she does get preggers, it just feels like such an elephant in the room with her lost baby by Noah.

I've been wanting them to go with a Summer/Chance pairing. It would be interesting to bring Abby/Devon into that equation as well.

I still wish we could get one single episode where characters didn't talk about mergers and acquisitions of vague companies.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
