LOL at that photo. I have been trying to find a scene with Heather Tom's Victoria and Little Nate from the 90s with no luck. I figured they may have shared scenes with Victoria was engaged to Neil but haven't come across any.

And with a different actor from Heather Tom, it may not have the same effect.

Some things that they show is doing right

• Nina and Chance- instant chemistry.  Their scenes today got to me. 
• Phyllis/Danny/Cricket- I am enjoying this.  Phyllis is starting to get back to her original self before Jack.  Even her outfits are a little out there.
• Phyllis and Summer at least today.  Phyllis talks about how Nick is Sharon's true love.  I love the history.  It is nice when the show uses it.  I loved how Summer was daydreaming about Chance with Sharon.  She is truly her mother's daughter.
• Tucker and Ashley- I really can't wait to see more.  I love how Audra is involved in it too.  She is a great addition to the cast.

Some things that they are doing wrong

• Too many Business storylines
  • How many CEO/COOs and executive changes could there be?
• Too much Newmans
  • Let's give a rest
• Not enough Abbotts
  • I need more of Jack and Ashley fighting for Jabot
  • Less Kyle and Billy fighting
• Lily and Daniel
  • At first they were cute, now they are just boring
  • I do like that Heather is back.  But without Paul what is the point?  Not that I think Paul is needed.
• More Baldwins

Agreed about the Abbotts. 

I think i like the "reboot" of Kyle the most. When Mal Young left he sort of lost his edge. Now he's going by 'smiling Kyle' having a a fling with the new vixen and teaming up with her and the big bad Tucker to betray his family.

Michael,Kevin and Gloria?

They've outlived their usefulness, esp criminal Kevin. I can stand Michael and Gloria for occasional appearances, but that's it.

I always liked them.

That’s sadly been the issue for almost the last 20 years and I don’t think that will change.

I think Tricia Cast could have chemistry with a rock. She's that good. I wish we could have her full-time.  I love Tucker and Ashley, too. The best scene partner ED has had in decades. Phyllis/Danny/Cricket is old-school fun. I'm really enjoying Audra. It's nice to have a person of color, Nate, truly front burner for a change. Having Mamie back has been awesome as she adds so much to both the Winters/Barber and Abbott families.

For the con, I totally agree about the business storylines. It's gotten to the point of being ridiculous. Some episodes feel like non-stop conversations about mergers, takeover, who's going to be the CEO/COO, etc etc. WHO CARES? Besides Jabot, do the writers even know what Chancellor-Winters or Newman Enteprises even does, much less Kirsten, Inc. LOL. I don't know why the writers/network think that their average viewer would be interested AT ALL in these "corporate stories" (a term I use loosely for them). The show needs to get out of the boardroom and back into the bedroom IMO.

Ironically I would say that it's the opposite with Y&R's sister show B&B. That show needs to stop with incessant love triangles and partner swappings and tell some business stories again...

I can agree with that statement.  At least there is some new blood with Luna, but Heather Tom is being wasted on that show right now.

Business stories don't bug me, i would just like a break from the job switch business stories. I'm rewatching 03 and it would he great for a tuvia/safra story again. 

 

Was MAB the last writer to attempt that? Her regime was focused on that Beauty of Nature stuff from what I recall.

ITA. On that show, the constant partner switching has gotten old.

As is the character of Carter! They put them together and then...nothing. Both of those actors should be front burner. Instead, we get  Liam/Steffy/Hope/Thomas for the millionth time.

See those business stories I like.  But the constant job titles and crap is boring.

I just don’t feel any chemistry in the Nina and Chance relationship. Doesn’t work for me.

The regal Zuleyka as unapologetic Audra,
who owns her character's desire for power ...

I had this behind spoiler tags.
Now that this has aired in the USA, I'm removing the spoiler tags.
