Thanks for starting @Liberty City

 

Hahahaha I hate to spoil stuff some of folks behind, but I actually am loving the reveal that Lily has the upper hand in not only playing Billy but also revealing she’s one step ahead of Victor in the matter is icing on the cake. THIS is the Lily we always needed yet the show always diminished.

Poor Sharon…..but of course as she stated she didn’t get a chance to grieve Rey because there was no funeral…I blame Josh Griffith on that one Sharon lol, but still what a mess.

Why was Connor Floyd reduced to recurring again?? I’m jealous of Summer at least having the sexiest man on the canvas!

Coming into August and...

 

JACK, YOU...BETTTTTTTTTTTTTA....READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He dragged the hell out of Kyle and Audra and I was here for it. Don't mess with his dad's memory. lol.

 

And Michael Mealer must be getting ready for a shirtless scene because his guns in that striped shirt have been out and about and looking yummy. And I don't find him attractive outside of the pandemic weight he put on so he must be buffing up again. 

 

 

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS ERIC BRAEDEN!!!!!!!!!

What is it with the soaps having good cliffhangers on Thursday? First Kristina and the fall on GH and now the ending here with Sharon on her laptop, like me, and we both stopped and looked up to see Cameron Kristen. lol.

 

On the shallow note, @Soapsuds there's a waiter extra in some nice tight blue jeans that pops through throughout that you might like. And they FINALLY got Chance out of that suit and into his bday suit. In case, you like some CF.

I am finally starting to feel invested in the Sharon storyline. Those were good intervention scenes with Sharon, Mariah, Faith, and Nick. And SC finally came to work. So well done. And the ending with Cameron was also well done.

 

AL can read a phone book at this point and I will pay attention. Enjoyed the Summer/Daniel scene as well as sexy time for her and Chance.

 

Oh, Victor. What are you planning? lol. I enjoyed his scenes with Devon the other day (but I always enjoy when the show touch on their history). And Devon giving Lily a heads-up. And Lily actually being a step ahead of Victor. LILY?? I thought the twist of Lily being a double agent is unnecessary, but at least her and Devon are still on good terms and it's not a complete repeat of their last fallout. 

 

Billy can go sit in the corner. If I hear about that logo one more time...

Okay...credit where credit is due. Decent week.

 

MTS is a powerhouse, and EB is all kinds of win when Victor is Victor-ing. BUT when they are in sync? PERFECTION. That the target is BILLY...who continued to irk me all week is a bonus. And ooooh how I loved Victor/Nikki sticking it to him so bad. So bad he had to do that lame Billy move of scheduling an event. Y&R IS overdue an event and I would love for Billy to stage one and we see it ON SCREEN so Victor can steal the company AND Billy finds out about the Adam/Chelesa fling. Wishful thinking...???

 

And I feel I mentioned it, but I love we have a young story again. This show is the YOUNG and the Restless. I loved Daniel catching on to Lucy and how it parallels his history with Cassie. And I'm actually intrigued to see where it goes. Moreso because even Faith is picking up that she might not be treating Lucy nicely. But Faith...is human. Surprisingly relatable to me.

 

And is it me...or is Sharon and Daniel giving off some uncomfortable chemistry? I mean...would Sharon go there? Would Daniel? Meanwhile, FakeCameron's scenes with Sharon have been intriguing as well. And now they MIGHT be more than about Sharon's meds? Okay...what is it?

I love Eric Braeden, but I fail to see how he's carrying the show on his back.

All he does is move his kids and wife around to different executive positions while he takes over other companies and does mergers -- NONE of which is compelling television.

In real life, it would also be a terrible way to conduct business.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
