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.

    • 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. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
