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!

Why is this damned show so DARK now?  There is nothing entertaining about it at all, it's just all morbid crap.

Nikki's hair looks like she let a 4 year old play "Let's fix Grandma's hair."

I mean, YIKES.

Perfect banner! @Liberty City 

[Liberty City]

This man is Victor Newman, all day every day and I love it

Once again, EB is keeping it way too real and I am here for it.

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?

Why is this show so depressing? Lol

There's no happiness, it's all just affairs / blackmail / fear / suspicion / general misery.

[Liberty City]

Because Josh Griffith is depressing.

[kalbir]

100% this.

It bears repeating, EB is carrying the show on his back. He's the real MVP.

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.
