Wait! Is that why Victor is helping Audra? I'll give credit where credit is due. Watching the Jack vs Tucker scene where Tucker accuses him of being Audra's secret backer. And Jack laughed in his face and asked him why he would even think Jack when he has the most successful cosmetics company in the world. And it hit me...Victor is playing the long game. It made me think of the old days for a second. So if Audra gets the company, Victor is totally aiming it at Jabot. Meanwhile, Victor has Cole on Kyle and Michael on Diane. God, he's chess playing. Go 'head, Mr. Newman. 

 

That said...I've enjoyed seeing TSJ being checked in the last two days and playing the cunning man that Tucker is supposed to be. I was picking on this fake heart problem moment only for it to be just that...FAKE. Good job. And Audra is giving Tucker a run for his money, too. So it has been interesting to watch. On the flipside, I love the Traci/Tucker scene as well. But that again goes back to TSJ being checked in. 

 

Hmmmm at Jack and Traci trying to theorize what would have caused Ashley to have alters in childhood. I side-eyed when Jack pondered if Ashley might have known that Brent was not her father even back then. Uhhhh...NO. ON THE OTHER HAND, they put out the idea that Dina was around with a parade of men growing up...and I'm not sure if that is any better. But at least if they are going there for the DID, that tracks. 

 

Don't like the Connor story, but liked the moment between Adam and Victor.

So is Johnny going to be our problem child moving forward? Because he was bringing all kinds of snark at Claire. But at least they are playing the beat of Victoria introducing her to her other kids. Meanwhile...JT...STAY AWAY FROM TANNING.

 

Part of me wants to laugh at Abby since we all have been discussing how she is always left out of all the Abbott/Newman drama. And here she is on this episode...complaining to Billy about that very thing. Part of me wonders who is reading these boards.

 

THAT'S IT??? And by IT I mean the Lily vs Daniel lawsuit is over like that? What a waste of a potential storyline. Or an abrupt end to one I should say since I have been all over Heather/Daniel/Lily.

 

ETA:

 

In case people don't already know...6-21 is a whole episode (with flashbacks it seems) about NICK.

 

Let the shade here BEGIN!!!

Y&R has nothing interesting going on at the moment. The worst is Mamie. Veronica Redd cannot act. She’s terrible. I cringe and cringe at the other actors who obviously cringe as she says her lines. It’s so obvious onscreen. Y&R needs serious help.

Hahahaha

I’ve been playing catch since that vacation but I agree with everything you said!

I meant to comment on Abby whining to Billy about not knowing about Ashley lol….yah I was wondering if JG actually reads this board has decided to make this a running gag LMAO…

And yes, the spray tanning has gotten out of hand on this show. Use to be Stafford with all the embarrassing splotch jobs but yeah I looking at Thompson…yikes.

Yeah, it's a little late for Abby to have self-awareness. That said...it wouldn't be the first soap writer to have a running joke going on...won't be the last. 

 

Yeah, the scene with Victoria introducing her kids to Claire was good EXCEPT for that. It was sooo distracting.

Friday June 28:

Okay I admit I haven’t watched any of this week at all until today other than reading recaps but from what I saw today maybe had some potential for better or for worse lol.

Diane/Kyle: This story still doesn’t make any sense at all whatsoever and is very illogical. In fact this story has made zero sense from the get go and shows JG can’t even tell a simply family conflict story. 
 

That said, we’re back to Audra/Kyle/Summer and I’m here for it after we were robbed last summer, but too little too late tbh.

Faith and Lucy scenes where nice, actually it would be nicer if Faith hadn’t been abruptly SOARSed into college and just have Faith be a HS senior giving Lucy tips on how to handle the mean girls. Meanwhile Faith and Moses are broken up…? Yikes. Moses should’ve been causing ruckus for Devon & Lily the past couple years but unfortunately JG has no imagination.

And as for Sharon…yikes. I know we’ve all complained about the lack of Sharon having story for the past few years but we don’t need for Sharon to be a kleptomaniac again, or sleep with every man in town, or go just go bonkers again (remember when Pratt said Sharon was the new Sheila?)

IDK who keeps fighting the Shick reunion, but they need to STFU, because there's literally nothing else you could do with Nick OR with Sharon at this point.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
