Why Gundaker isn’t the solo EP of this show puzzles me sometimes. 

I actually appreciate the fact Mamie is appearing regularly at the moment even on this story I really hope she just sticks around for good.

Jill hasn’t even seen her grandson yet thought it appears

But is there a need for Chance in the corporate world? It be more believable if Chance became out resident high end PI in Genoa City like Paul was before. As @Paul Raven would probably predict all we would end up seeing is Chance hold a Chancellor-Winters board meeting with Jill, Devon, Lily and Nate in Crimson Lights were they praise Chance for being the most successful and innovative newbie CEO ever.

Going back a few posts, Audra is still my favorite Y&R character at the moment. 

VB’s Heather is refreshing to have back but yeah without Paul her connections are pretty limited unless the show wanted to have Heather befriend Adam and/or Chance again.

Couple nitpicks, Daniel told Summer that Sally Spectra redecorated his apartment. I know Sally did NOT pick out that ugly green sofa from 1969 LOL. And while the show always has Nate wearing purple, did his leather blazer needed to have a lavender hume to it too?

YR feels like a high school class reunion show. Characters talking and catching up and talking about nothing.

Now that CZ is back.....My Christmas wish list would be Scott Bryce as a recast Paul and Melanie Smith as anyone at this point on the show with Gregg Marx as the new attorney in Genoa City.

Finally watched yesterday's episode and Can't believe I Am Saying this, But Could Claire actually be Eve Nicole Newman Howard, Victoria's Child with Cole that supposedly died a few days after birth back in 1998?

that kinda would Explain her fangirling Victoria the other day! The age is correct too, Hayley is slightly older than Eve would naturally be!

That's My doubt as well! Maybe she is related to Cole somehow? Can't know much with what has been provided so far! I also wonder if it was baby switch then? Did Cole Knew all along? Man if he did he deserves Jail! Victoria has maternity anxiety ever since that! the fact she miscarried at least 2 other babies doesn't help either!

Again, JG has a lot of the ingredients in places for a solid show. Family members like Mamie, Heather, and Danny back. Audra as a vixen JG doesn’t seem to be sacrificing as a short-term psycho. Jack finally getting an age-appropriate love interest and settling down. The Newmans getting something drastic to shake them out of their interminable PG-rated episode of Succession. MTS finally getting something to do. Potentially giving Victoria a grown daughter could be what she’s long needed. And CZ certainly can command the screen opposite EB and MTS (in the same way Alex Donnelley did years ago as Diane).

But we have zero evidence from his past work that he’ll make good on this potential.

Victoria has been pregnant 5 times I think.

Eve died in infancy.

Miscarried Brad's child.

Reed was a who's the daddy storyline. Brad was at one point thought to be the father. AH was pregnant IRL when Victoria was pregnant w/ Reed.

Miscarried Billy's child.

Katie was another who's the daddy storyline. Stitch was at one point thought to be the father.

With all the vodka and alcoholism references, is it possible Claire and Aunt Jordon have something to do with Nikki's past as an alcoholic?  Did Nikki ever kill anyone while driving drunk?  Or hurt anyone in some other way, during her heavy alcohol use?  Perhaps Claire and Aunt Jordan  are connected to Nikki through her addiction.  Who knows??

      I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.

      And in case anyone is confused; Rusty was hired by HB to work undercover and infiltrate some gang sabotaging Lewis.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Xanthe · Posted

      Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
