I'm surprised. Everything surrounding Heather's death appeared to have snatch up momentum because these last few episodes have been watchable. A case of given how Heather has been connected to the current canvas that it truly has a rippling effect over everything and the fact that Y&R keeps their vets and legacy characters around, it simply HITS. 

 

The only flaw that I see in the Sharon/Heather storyine gradually taking the A story lead was that all the drama with Kyle vs Audra has vanished. And also Lily/Victor appeared like it is about to be on hold for a bit.

 

And speaking of them...woooow. Lily and Victor scheming has been great to watch. Even Victor looked amused that Neil's little girl could be so crafty. And his look when Lily told him that Giggly Heffa has Lily's old job was PRICELESS. And like Victor, I am wondering how Lily is going to use Giggly Heffa to get her payback on Billy. 

 

Ironically, MS has been clocked in during the aftermath of Heather's death. I just teared up as she got Billy to come out of his latest A-hole mood to comfort her. I felt that. She's playing a mother's pain and not being able to help her son cope really resonated with me, surprising me. But Phyllis has been great in mom mode, handling Daniel with care, letting Summer know about the death, allowing Chance to be a son-in-law without being one, tearing into Sharon...which was justified for once.

 

Not that she has been alone. MG is doing a masterclass on hearing your lover die. And that scream in the apartment after letting Paul know...WOOOW. The actress playing Lucy got me when she shot off the couch and went into denial mode when Daniel told Lucy about Heather. And SC continued to be bringing her A-game as a woman spiraling even though it appears she has lost a lot of that clam, rational Sharon that came back after SC's anniversary episode. 

 

AT LAST!!!! And by at last I meant...CHANCE BEING BACK WHERE HE SHOULD BE!!! Aka as a cop. And oh look...just in time for a MURDER MYSTERY. Don't tell me I manifested this into the universe? lol. On a typical note, I didn't like the camera angle, but CF looked great in those blue jeans which was not at all sagging.

And just so I know I said it SHUT UP, BILLY!!! He has been so obnoxious this week. I would think punching him in the jaw would have humbled him, but NOPE!! And don't get me started on him trying to destroy Katie and Johnny's feelings for their grandfather...how would he feel if someone came for John Abbott? Exactly!!! And now he's treating workers at Chancellor (and I continue to love how NO ONE is acknowledging the name change. So does Victor hehe) like they are dirt? I was never so happy for Phyllis to get through to him by being a mother on the verge. That snapped him out of it and reminded us that he at least has a heart. Just so over him. 

 

And that Friday cliffhanger/coda of Sharon with the bloody rags. Well I was warned. But...well done.

Not to spoil you on anything yet but this week so far has actually been surprisingly good.

The Sharon insanity aside, we’ve have some great moments of Audra and Diane again this week, plus the latest Newman/Jabot feuding drama actually has depth to it and not just another pointless takeover tale. 

Back to Sharon, Sharon is completely batsh!t bonkers at the moment and not everything is at it seems. Hmm…

WTH was Nikki wearing ? Some sort of sparkly jacket that just looked weird as a daytime outfit.

EB in a chair seeming to read his lines off the table.

Only 5 sets in an hour show. So bored with seeing CL and GCAC. At least the director was smart enough to use tight shots so that the lack of customers at CL was less apparent.

So Nate tells Devon about his meeting with Amy, rather than actually showing it. There is some intrigue there but this is Josh so it will either lead nowhere or be something ridiculous like Amy is Nate's mother.

Sean Dominic and Connor Floyd both eye candy. Bryton not so much.

Who cares about Abby/Devon wedding and the surprise venue?

Nikki MTS has been so poorly styled as of late I expect that to change soon with the latest news.

Re: Amy. Do not give JG any ridiculous implausible notions like that

Abby’s sole purpose these days is simply to remind everyone that she exists.
 

Knowing Abby’s track record she’ll probably forget to show up to her own wedding as she didn’t realize that it was happening that specific time and day.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
