MG continually amazes. Bringing Daniel back was a great move.

I agree. Outside of how things went down with Lily, I have enjoyed Daniel being back.

Thanks for the heads-up. I went to Paramount+ and thought something was wrong with my subscription.

How was the special Sharon episode? Were there any rare and precious clips?

I don't remember seeing nothing new, but maybe I let something escape my eyes, there was definitely a good chunk of old clips

If You can download from torrent here's a link: https://bt4gprx.com/magnet/whXZksHtA3O5g2eMFzqvof2NtSfZQ3fIM

Guys, I am living in Germany and if I made the mistake of opening this magnet link, I could get in trouble for downloading. Torrenting copyright protected material is considered a crime in Germany and many other countries. Torrents are heavily watched over companies that hire legal teams who have people who list every new torrent and record the IP addresses. I am not saying you'll get in trouble for downloading Young and Restless on a torrent, but you may. I know people who have had for torrenting series before.

So all I'm saying is... please if it's possible, don't post these links in public. Someone may open them by mistake, and since many people have add-ons that they don't even realize they have (myself included) the torrent can get started with just 1 click. This can get you in trouble. I don't want to start an issue, just trying to protect you guys. No magnet links or torrent links posted in public please. That's just my advice. You can choose to ignore it. I mean no harm.

Sorry, I had no idea! I'll try to avoid to post those again

Thank you!  

Anyone notice SC crack a slight smile when MS was going all Phyllis dramatic mocking everyone being worried about poor Sharon.

I will say that killing Heather was not where I expected this story to go. I like VB, but Heather isn't really needed. I'm waiting for Lily to comfort Daniel. That's still the end game for me.

 

 

Sharon "killing" Heather is the most interesting storyline Griffith has written since coming back.  And I actually like ghost-Cameron's return.  Sharon and Linden play well off each other.  The actress that plays Lucy is pretty good for a teenager.  I could see her improving as she gets older.

I feel like writing a “hook” is one of Josh Griffith's strengths.  For example, Diane's surprise return with Jack's granddaughter, Tucker crashing the wedding in a helicopter, the mystery surrounding Jeremy Stark, and Tucker's return without Ashley from their honeymoon.  The problem has been sticking the landing to end the story and transition into new tales.

I agree. Those were all good hooks with potential. It's a shame (outside of Diane now being a matriarch at the moment) that they been mostly wasted.

 

Allie is gone when she should be around mixing it up with Audra or someone else or even a disagreement with Kyle that sparks a new family feud.

 

Tucker is nowhere in sight. Just mentioned here and there.

 

Stark is dead when he should have been in a scheme team with Giggly Heffa who he had chemistry with.

 

Ashley...TBD. And IMHO, while the story was silly in parts, that was the most interesting Y&R has been with JG back writing. And even every story surrounding that period of time was energized as if JG finally got inspired to have a writing rhythm...not just over one story, but ALL of them.

The problem with Y&R, it has an abundance of potential that is squandered at every turn. JG should not be the sole showrunner. He definitely has his moments where the show is watchable but for the most part it's boring. What is the long-term story??? Why does every story feel like an "arc" or a wait and see approach to see what sticks???

CBS Daytime needs to have Y&R and B&B in much better shape to launch Behind The Gates successfully. I think it can be done but both shows need behind the scenes changes ASAP

CBS can only do so much; production is in the hands of Bell Dramatic Serial Company & Sony Pictures Television, and considering the CBS Daytime division as it was once is pretty much.... done, I doubt someone at CBS is going to care as much. And so long as Steve Kent is involved a major change will not be happening.

Reviewing the week from hell that was…

Okay, I’ve been avoiding the main story of Sharon but…well I do have to give kudos to SC, Graz, and Ashby for selling such a twisted tale as actors. Because that’s the best thing working here as much as I despise the overall insane idea here of crazy Sharon killing Heather and framing Daniel for it. 
 

What’s interesting is also how here again how this Sharon story is so isolated from the rest of the show at the moment lol. The day it wasn’t on it was business as usual lol.

As usual @Taoboi the highlight of the week for me was definitely Audra and Diane!!

I like to think this is only a temporary setback for Audra and that here the next couple weeks she’s about to swiftly kick Kyle in the pants and send him straight back to man child status lol. Or at least be her errand boy again 😂

Diane showing off a more edgy groove should be fun but we’ll see where this goes. We were long overdue for those scenes of them together and I want more.

And I love that Chance is all the case here FINALLY get proper utilization of CF’s talents. 
 

Phyllis was the lowlight of the week, too bad Sharon didn’t off her instead lol.

You're totally right.  We'll see how long before this story turns into being unwatchable like the rest of the show. 

Up to Thursday. I can't believe they are having Daniel have whole-ass conversations with Paul on the phone. Poor Michael Graziadei.
