Please let there be less garbage time this month.

I was watching old Y&R clips for amusement and was shocked to find out that Mamie is back. That hairstyle makes her seem like a completely different character.

[Taoboi]

Yeah, she popped in for the anniversary episodes and just got back.

Nikki and Audra have an interesting dynamic.

Some of the scenes are very visually appealing. Lighting, sets, the camera shot at the beginning of a scene... BUT the flashbacks are awful. They look BAD and they take too much time. Do we really need to be reminded what has led to a current scene?

That makes me no sense whatsoever, but okay bud.

….not sure what Bryton is getting at here either at all.

Devon and Abby haven’t had much in the way of a romance to begin with.

I think Bryton has a real fondness for Melissa, and they have a friendship behind the scenes like Tracey and Christian, who tried for years to convince the writers to pair them. They explain it more in this interview: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/icymi-bryton-james-and-melissa-ordway-interview/

 

Lauren and Michael popped onscreen way more and have a lot more chemistry. Devon and Abby I would say have a comfortable vibe together but aren't terribly interesting, but the actors probably feel it more than we do because they enjoy working together.

As predicted, Hayley Erin’s debut fell completely flat. The character is a generic basic bitch, and Erin looks and acts so generic too. I haven’t seen anything this basic since Kelly Sullivan was on the show. This is a contract role? 

[Antoyne]

I remember her being bland but this was extra levels of not popping off the screen at all. I don’t really see where we need this type of character on canvas.

[Soapsuds]

Goooood cliffhanger with Mamie and Jill.

The black and white flashbacks gotta go!
