He's back to being Devon's bootlicker. After being front and center in the Newman storylines with Victoria, that has to be quite the downer.

I'm glad Jess Walton didn't fly in for this Chancellor Winters "story", it doesn't deserve her. The whole Chancellor-Winters association worked when it was with Jill, Billy, & Lily since they had a long history. But ever since they added Devon, with his so-called donated sperm for the baby, the storyline has been a flop. The CW merger feels like the corporate version of the awful baby story. Make it stop!

The only bright spot was the new handsome, and very well-built, Chance. It was like getting a new Brad.

  Bring back that basketball court! Where's the rooftop pool? But now they get rid of him? WTH? He was a major legacy character too. Why get rid of the only Chancellor heir, especially in the middle of a Chancellor story?

This soap is crap these days. I used to tune in for my favs here and there, but that's not even worth it anymore.

Disappointed if Chance/Connor has been demoted.

The whole Abby/Devon/Chance story had so many beats to play but instead Chance just walked away with little angst and Devon/Abby got together and now have zilch story.

Has Josh written one decent story in all these years?

It’s so odd not having Chance around for a Chancellor story. 
 

idk what it is with those writers obsession with the Devon character! No offense to the actor but the character is so dull and always has been. Even in the hey days of his affair with Hillary it was more Hillary and Neil that made it work. But those writers won’t stop giving Devon one story after another story. Does the actor has something on them that they write so much for him over more interesting characters? I mean Devon gets so much while our beloved Sharon gets nothing? Make that make sense 

I love Y&R and I won’t give up on it but like u said sometimes it not even worth it to tune in for your favorites lol 

and that OCD storyline is the only thing I’m invested in coz I still hope for a Chelsea and Adam reunion. I mean that those writers pretend like Chelsea literally meant nothing to Adam in the past is a serious crime if we think back how much they loved each other during the 2010’s.

Jill giving all her control to Billy is so annoying.

I’m loving bitchy Lily when it comes to Daniel. He genuinely seems confused as to why his actions would have consequences. Like you don’t get to cheat on the boss and expect zero retaliation.

Watching the Jill/Devon/Lily scenes (as awful as the story is) and Jess was bringing it -from a computer screen, no less and CK was giving a sense of her feelings with little dialogue. Meanwhile Bryton was blandly reciting lines sounding like a whiny kid.

Dullvon drags down any scene he is in.

5-13

 

Okay...seriously...is JG okay? Cuz hearing about what Connor did is a little too dark for a kid and even I had to be EXCUSE WHAT?

 

Now just to be sure...Mamie mad at Devon, Nate, and Lily must have been on the day that I didn't watch and is no longer on my system because that seem odd. Just like me starting 5-14 and seeing Southern Belle Ashley is back in charge.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about Billy being in charge. Sorry. Does this mean even less of Jill. JILL FOSTER ABBOT who has been a main character since Day 1??? I...can't. For Billy? I...

That said...I am down for Devon vs Billy now. Because there are stakes. I think he's made a mistake given how Devon feels about Neil's memory.

 

I actually thought it was surprisingly in bad taste to see Christine taunting Giggly Heffa. Even though she asked for it. It might have just been a dialogue thing for me though. Not as witty as I like their showdowns. 

lol

Abby voting against Devon and Lily when she knows Billy’s history

. Even Jill looks stupid in this. I really wanted it to blow up in her face. Billy is INSUFFERABLE when he has any sort of power.

It makes no sense to me that Abby would go against her own husband on this power grab. I hate  that, and I hate the idea that Jill would Turn all that power over to Billy when for YEARS she's made clear that she doesn't trust Billy with too much control.

I also hate these "board meetings" being held in Lily's tiny office. All those bodies in that room look absurd.

    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. (did not see Naomi?) -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black tee, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party but perhaps they arrive later.  The night is yet young.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
