Same although we did get spoiled with two 1993 episodes already I suppose. This time period in 2003 was actually fantastic to watch. I remember the Nikki/Sharon rivalry being at its height over the preparation of this gala made more fun by a maturing Cassie keeping Sharon in check (I think Cassie had just met her bio dad) while bringing a date with her to the gala.

So glad they singled out the WAY OVERUSED business plotlines. I'm SO TIRED of hearing about mergers, takeovers, CEOs, COOs, and people changing jobs. I could care less about any of these stories. The show needs to get out of the boardroom and back into the bedroom, so to speak. I mean, how many people are on the edge of their seat about who's going to work next at Chancellor-Winters, Newman, Jabot, etc etc? Anybody???

I agree about Tucker. In general, I like the character and the actor. I thought he had great chemistry with ED, but he's not well-defined. What does he really want and why???

I've loved the Claire/Eve story, too. I just wish they would have dragged it out for a few more story beats before revealing the truth. I would have liked Aunt Jordan to come to town first and watch her wiggle her way into GC society, and THEN turn everyone's lives upside down. Imagine if she had first befriended Nikki first, gained her trust, and THEN got her to fall off the wagon. It would have given CZ more to work with versus being a one-note villian.

November 10-15, they were filming little Christmas-season greetings/promos.
For example, B&B and Y&R did the above promo for French television.

As Mark G said on his IG story in November,
they filmed fun little promos for the holidays.

Seems they did this instead of storyline spoiler promos.

 

This one is in two parts, for Canadian viewers.
You can tell this was filmed in November.
(Camryn has since given birth).

The Danny and Cricket stuff is so good and tugs at my heartstrings. They are my fave Y&R couple and I appreciate that we’re getting an actual story and not some slapdash reunion.

I also like that Phyllis’ original psychotic persona has been restored. Stafford is great with the dead eyes and blank expression which make Phyllis look like a total sociopath. Only Kimberlin Brown does it better.

I also love that Vail Bloom is back as Heather. She and Chris Engen’s Adam were fire.

Wait, what?? Was Raul going to be the 1986 baby??? Ronan?!

Nikki didn’t even flinch when Jordan referred to Nick as her “idiot son”, which admittedly, made me giggle.

For the longest time, when I looked at ZS as Audra, I had the feeling that she reminded me of someone. Now I know who…Jocelyn Seagrave as Julie Camaletti on GL when she became embittered after Dylan dumped her when she got caught cheating on him with Hart Jessup.

    • Is there anything in print or fan lore or info about Don Stewart & temperament or behavior? Of course my brain could be playing tricks on me. 
    • “On ERICA versus RACHEL, Erica was a very unique character. ... Rachel was a lower-class Erica, her mother was a cleaning woman, and her goals were not nearly stratospheric as Erica’s. Rachel just wanted to marry Russ or somebody with money. What Erica and Rachel have in common is they thought if they could get their dream, they’d be satisfied. But that dream has been very elusive.”– Agnes Nixon, Creator, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and LOVING So my takeaway from this, plus knowing the characters, is that both Rachel & Erica schemed for acquisition. They wanted to acquire romance, husbands, prosperity, a kind of low-level fame or notoriety.  Am I correct in thinking that Carla schemed for safety, camouflage, to keep from getting caught & so for survival? Or did she also scheme for things similar to above?

    • Paula and Jeanne’s first time writing Alex and Stephanie. It didn’t seem like there were any changes in Alex at all lol but I can’t help  but think that that’s more on RSW than the writing. I didn’t see a big change with Stephanie either, but I did enjoy her scenes with Kayla, whose character has gotten so much stronger since last week. I hope we get to see a lot more of their relationship, and their relationship with Steve as well. As for Steve and Shawn stealing the drug to try to save Bo, idk. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t know lol but I also think that it is time for Steve to pass the torch on to the next hero.  And finally, Javi showed some kind of spark! I was a little worried in his first scene today that he was going to continue to be so obsessed with Leo, but him demanding that Leo drop the investigation into Rafe and Gabi could actually be pretty interesting. I don’t think that would’ve happened under Ron. And if we’re forced to endure Javi/Leo, let them at least have some kind of actual conflict, instead of the forced, biased crap that we were subjected to. And speaking of Leo, one year ago today, he got Dimitri’s letter

      Btw, why is Gabi so beholden to Javi? Cousin or not, if I was her, the minute he said to her, “If he goes, I go”, I would’ve been like  Also, are they going to go there with Philip and Gabi? I’d prefer that than Gabi getting involved with Alex.
