Well, that was a turn for sure. 

 

And as I thought, it looks like Sharon might want to kill Daniel. But I'm confused. Did I watch the scene wrong? I thought Mariah found fake pills. Or was it she didn't see the label? I was just confused. But if it is true that Sharon HAS been taking her meds the whole time, then WHAT is wrong with her?

 

And given Phyllis's talk with Nick on this episode...it occurred to me. Is JG really amping up Phyllis vs Sharon with some Nick on the side and how it affects the next generation his way of giving acknowledgement of all 3's anniversaries this year? Because they could have done better.

 

Meanwhile, the Faith/Lucy storyline continues to give SINGLE WHITE FEMALE. Lucy really does not seem to get it. And now it's getting annoying.

I might be wrong, but I do believe that was the last time I was a regular viewer of DAYS before RC came on at the start. Because when I heard rumors of the rape, I was hoping it was just a rumor. I actually liked his run at first. I didn't even mind the darkness but that was a touch too far (and on the Horton couch, too) for me. And tuned right on out. 

 

Funnily enough, I left Y&R right before his 2013 run and Delia's death so I missed it. I believe I was around for his Chelesa/Adam/Sharon triangle during his 2nd (?) run or it might be the same run that started with Delia's death. I remember liking that, but I fell off again until SSM and KA came back. 

 

I DO remember that every time he came back (like the current GH writers) he suuuuure loved to reset to the show to where he left off writing as if characters had no development while he was gone. 

 

But yes, given all that info...I am surprised he has not done a murder mystery yet.

Mariah's scenes were so choppy in this epi. She was going to check on Sharon's bipolar meds in Sharon's medicine cabinet, then Sharon came in and busted Mariah. Mariah then said she was there to borrow a necklace from Faith which bought her time to still go look for Sharon's meds. Mariah checked Sharon's purse and found a large bottle of ibuprofen which the camera made sure we saw. After that, Mariah (off screen) went upstairs to check the medicine cabinet and retrieve a necklace to verify the ruse of being there.

At that time Mariah determined that Sharon's med bottle was missing the correct amount of pills if Sharon had been taking them as directed. She thinks Sharon has been taking her bipolar meds and told Nick all of that. It's still sketchy and makes very little sense, like this entire story that has gone on too long to maintain interest.

Seems Phyllis has no choice but to be included in this nonsense as the 30th anniversary of her and Sharon being on the show is coming up. Please God, can this guy wrap up a story with any decency?

Uneven AF. Because how are you going to land on such a juicy bombshell as Sharon starting to think about killing Daniel...and then we don't see her for the rest of the week. On the other hand, that meant the show circled back to other storylines that were interesting *cough*Victor*cough* The writing felt better and the actors made me more invested sad to say.

 

The first half of last week was all about Sharon and her spiral. The last half of the week was about Audra vs Kyle and Victor weaving that web of his. And everything was better for it I felt. 

 

I'm definitely over Kyle's whining. I've been over it. Because we know how I feel about the genesis of his anger at Diane. And though someone tried to put more nuances in his latest fight with Diane...too little, too late since every time they argue I zone out. That said...well-played getting in Victor's ear about Audra perhaps spilling the beans on his identity as the silent partner. I liked that Audra did not back down to Victor...though it might cost her. And I loved how much Victor was taking potshots at Billy at all their encounters. 'Eat your damn fries.' LOL oh Victor... I'm oh so looking forward to Billy falling (ESPECIALLY seeing that clip for this new week with Phyllis cuz HELL NO) and I'm looking forward to Audra's revenge on Kyle.

 

Speaking of Giggly Heffa, I don't mind her in Billy's orbit. Keeps her out of Nick's.

 Yes, I'm petty. 

 

I had totally forgotten about Victoria and Cole so good to see him still around and working at the University. And while it's typical drama for them going forward, Cole has rarely backed down so let's see if they can withstand Victor again. 

 

Kyle/Claire...meh. Perhaps it took too long for me. Or it's the fact that Claire is a little too bland now, but I wasn't feeling it. 

 

It was a little moment, but I loved Jack holding Diane from the back as they talked about Kyle and the idea of Victor being the silent partner. Like a real couple. They really have become the patriarch and matriarch of the Abbots.

 

But like I said...an uneven week. And it shows that I had no desire to rewind. Just background noise. Looking forward to that Phyllis clip though.

I see the closing credits updated the surnames of Sharon and Devon back in July, but I just noticed it.

Devon announced he was changing his name from Devon Hamilton to Devon Winters in May 2023 - when Malcolm and Harmony/Yolanda visited and they all paid tribute to Neil at the Jazz Lounge.
Name change to Winters finally reflected in closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.)

Sharon had been going by "Sharon Rosales" ever since she married Rey, and kept that name as Rey's widow.  I remember when she did the grand opening party for the business she inherited from Cameron Kirsten and formerly changed its name from Kirsten something to Cassie something, Nick gave her a desk nameplate saying "Sharon Newman", and that seemed odd (to me) since she had never announced changing her name back to Newman.
I stopped watching regularly months ago.  Has Sharon ever confirmed she changed it?

Sharon name change to Newman reflected in the same closing credits airing when Devon's names was changed in the credits:  closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.)

Are both of these just overdue errors that the show staff finally noticed?
Or were these changes mentioned in character dialogues?

fyi @YRfan23

Well, it didn't completely bore me. Though I might be bias because I like Daniel and Heather so watching them dealing with Lucy as well as each other has been the closest to old school Y&R as we have gotten in a minute. Though I'm ready to shake the heck out of Lucy. How did the shy little girl they introduced turn into such a brat. 

 

Sharon unspooling continues to be crazy. But hey!!! We got an Esther sighting. And I guess it's good to see Nick, Mariah, and Faith also cluing in. Hopefully, there's a turn in this story coming.

 

Awww at Cole and Victoria back together. And Claire seeing it. 

 

Nothing much else going on. Oops. Spoke too soon.

    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
