As silly as today's "twist" felt, it also felt very Bill Bell coded (or at least Bradley).

They had written Sharon into a corner, and the only way out was through a big baddie.  Bell always had some gothic creature who was to blame for all the troubles for the aging ingénues of Genoa City.  So, at least it seemed like the same soap that I was watching in the 80s when Lauren was buried alive by her stalker, or Michael burrowed his way into Cricket's apartment, and David wound up in a trash compactor. 

But, given the current the status of the writing, we all know that this 'shocking' reveal will inevitably have a disappointing resolution.

The staging of the car accident etc was well done but I was questioning that Sharon and Phyllis would both be driving older model SUVs. These gals would surely be tooling around in the latest models.

Jess Walton sold her scenes, even if we question her motives for selling chancellor to Victor.

Enjoyed Audra throwing shade at the blushing bride with a fact check on marriage and divorce in GC.

First off watching this Thursday 11/14 episode, my gosh it is so gorgeous! For a moment I felt like I was rewatching the 2003 art gala event all over again during the reception scenes. 

Not to mention in addition to JW, we also had MTS, ED, and especially SW all looking so regal. 

After last week’s hot mess of a green screen funeral for Heather, the car fire scenes in the woods with Phyllis actually looked decent for a change.

Another solid episode again.

I too loved Audra’s major shade

As for the ending, wow. Obviously this is pretty campy for Jordan and Ian Ward to be back, but you know let Colleen and Wise have their fun.

I do wonder if Y&R had considered bringing Haiduk back as Patty considering she was Ian Ward’s last partner in crime (and maybe harboring an alive Heather) but I assume Haiduk is too busy on Days to pull double duty.

How on earth would Jordan or Ian even know who Heather was?  And what motive would they have to drive Sharon over the edge emotionally?  Assuming their goal is to hurt the Newmans, someone should tell them Sharon is a long-time ex-Newman, and neither Victor or Nikki are particularly fond of Sharon.   

This head writer continually brings on evil outside forces to make problems for the beloved characters -- time after time.  Doesn't he know the best drama comes from characters creating their own problems? Y&R really does not need a constant parade of mustache-twirling villains.  What the show needs is some believable human drama and some romance.

@Mona Kane Croft@Paul Raven My immediate guess as to Ian's motivation: Heather is Paul's daughter; Sharon is Mariah's mother. Plenty of history there to justify it in Ian's twisted head.

I hope Mariah gets involved in this story. CG has been in the background for far too long.

And, boy, these last few episodes continue the return of glamour and sophistication to Y&R. When you think about the 80s until the mid-aughts, Y&R was the gold standard. No show could even touch the production, sets, clothes, styling, etc. Even the slight lighting changes to Society actually make it look like a place where the elite would hang out.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      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'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.

      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.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      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.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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.
