Kind of funny to see some callbacks to classic Y&R last week with Harrison calling Jordan a witch and Victor's bomb shelter dungeon still intact, haha.

I've been laughing at all of the things Jordan "no last name" is being called. Lots of actors have picked up on EB's way of saying "that Jordan woman." Even Phyllis and Daniel said it. This week Victor switched to "that Jordan broad." Nikki called her a beast, and Harrison called her a witch. Jack simply called her "the Jordan" a la "the Donald" (assuming PB missed a word there, even though he's the self-proclaimed master of rote memorization).

(There are no spoilers in this interview)

"While portrayer Melissa Claire Egan admits she misses Chelsea’s wild days of machinations and love triangles, the real-life mom is honored to tell these grounded, important stories about depression, OCD and trauma."

In my opinion the rapist / rape victim romance (rapemance) of Chelsea/Billy negates any good they are trying to do.

Hold up!!! Not Victor bringing back Julia's man's set. I...

But seriously that set with the winebottles is giving me DAYS OF OUR LIVES Secret Room and I'm not hating that at all. In fact, I was firmly Team Victor for doing it. It could be my personal feelings about kids in danger, but I was mentally cheering him on. 

 

It's been surprising how interesting this week has been. Nikki thinking she was going to get one over on Victor...only for Victor to be Victor-ing. It was a surprising good climax. Kyle found Harrison. And AL acted her butt off. The Giggly Heffa trying to make it about her. I just felt everyone did good. And smart on Victor for telling NO ONE where Jordan REALLY is. Given the last two Jordan fights, I wouldn't tell anyone of them either. So when people do find out...it better not be blame Victor. And now a new tale starts with 'where is Claire?'

 

Meanwhile... Ashley has ANOTHER personality. Lord Baby Jesus!!! But like I said before...I can see ED is having a ball and she's playing them to the hilt. Cuz I liked the Southern Belle in the jazz bar. I did not like that they did a lot of the set-up off-screen. And then it was the cliffhanger on Tuesday and it was ignored on Wednesday. 

 

Week has been good with these stories (and Vicious Lily), but there's such an uneveness to everything. 

Just watched. So hollered. Especially given Victor's history of keeping rivals in a cage (and Y&R history of keeping characters in a cage). Surprisingly inspired.

2006 to Present.

The initial decline in 2006, stem from the death of the show's creator Bill Bell. The show's accelerated decline started continued in 2013 with the addition of executive producer Jill Farren Phelps.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but when was the last time we saw Nikki in the Abbott living room!

Omggggggg

    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react. 
    • 5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama. 
    • I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
    • I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in. 
    • You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.
    • Has anyone even told Gio that Sonny once shot Dante?
    • There are so many missed opportunities and story beats that could be played out on B&B. Hope was finally able to successfully move on from Liam, with Thomas, and what does Brad Bell do, he ruins it. Hope & Thomas, baggage and all, were really good together. Why Thomas is off the canvas is mind boggling, yet we have a terrible and completely useless character in Daphne still there, please make it make sense. I think Rick is needed on the show too. Have him come back and hook up with Taylor again. That would create some really good drama and cause Ridge & Brooke's heads to explode.  And for God's sake just recast RJ and bring Jack to the show as an adult to rip Brooke a new one for basically ignoring him all these years. But yeah, just my opinion
