Meh I thought maybe this Lucy/Faith stuff could have had some type of promise yet all of comes off across like a terrible after school special from 1988 or one of those “a very special tonight” episodes form the Hogan Family. 

The dialogue is very strange unnatural…made worse by unnatural and stiff acting by Graz, VB, and the Lucy actress. Compounded by the fact this is another excuse for Sharon to go unhinged talking to Cameron and go after Lucy is kind of dumb. 
 

Hate to be clichè and quote that Green Day song…but wake me up when September ends if this continues…

I was thinking that as well. Because Lucy was coming across as creepy at one point. But I'm not against it been what it has been so far...well, up until the accident...because there has not been a teen-ish story on this show in forever. 

 

For all we know she might still go crazy.

The truth of the matter is NOTHING is happening on Y&R at the moment to behind with, so there’s really not much to discuss. And compared to Ashley’s DID caper earlier this year, Sharon seeing a dead and bloody Cameron is being presented as so mundane and low energy it’s hard to even care.

I hate to see Sharon Case being wasted for this mess, yet I feel like SC isn’t bothering to bring her A-game to make it interesting (or maybe Case’s best days are long ago now)

I agree. Watching has gone back to being a chore outside of what is going on with Sharon and the occasional Traci/Alan sighting. 

 

And it's funny because it gained some momentum again a few weeks back. Now it's back to the doldrums. Meanwhile B&B has been my fun soap while GH is at least keeping me invested like a lover with something to prove.

9-3

 

The show might be a chore again, but Victor-Victoring IS NOT!!! I haven't heard anyone use a peacock metaphor to describe someone on a TV show in forever so I hollered at Victor calling Billy one since that's very much what Billy is doing. Trying to flaunt his power around and puffing out his chest as if Victor gives a frak. BOY, BYE. Victor was so unbothered and smirking and it was driving Billy crazy. LOVE those scenes. 

 

And I LOVE Lily's scenes with Victor, too. So much history there. And I was like PLLLLLEEASSS LET VICTOR HUMBLE THAT PRICK. Meanwhile, now he's getting into it with Chance? Again...BOY, BYE!! Just proving Victor was right to call him a peacock cuz no one is respecting Billy WITHOUT Lily there. And the fact that Billy is the ONLY person that calls the company A-C...lol...also proving Victor right when he was reading Billy down. 

 

Oh, lord...JG better not be trying for a Billy/Chelesa/Adam triangle. In this current state...it won't work. Well, my finger will be working the FF button. 

 

And since Sally was the only person I cared about in that whole mess, her being on the sidelines of it...for now?...means I still get to see her. Lol at Chloe's reaction to Sally breaking up with Adam. So in character. 

 

 

Well so fall season begins I guess. lol.

OMG!! He was doing superb on this 9-3 episode. I was like 'who does Billy think he's talking to? You better remind him who you are.' And Victor did not disappoint. EB really and truly has been the highlight of my viewing this latest week so far. MTS being a close 2nd. Acting-wise.

 

Story-wise, I would say...reluctantly I might add...the Sharon storyline. And I just think that that's because it's about Sharon on one hand and on the other hand, I want to see if it's going where I feel it is going to go which I feel is Daniel connected.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher. 
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
