I know it's apart of soaps for couples to split and move on but Y&R keeps it so confined. And each relationship lasts less than a year of 'true love' before they're ready to move on.

Adam/Sharon/Chelsea/Sally.

Nick/Sharon/Phyllis/Chelsea/Sally

Billy/Chelsea/Phyllis/Lily/Sally

Next week is a short week and no holiday classics. I'll be getting a lot of stuff done in the two days without Y&R being on

PB 35th anniversary is November 27 but he's not getting a special episode that day it seems. Maybe his anniversary episode is the following week then.

The way these three men share the same women is so gross to me. Same with how much Jack and Victor loved sharing women. And Jack also has been with Sharon/Phyllis//Sally. All he needs is Chelsea and he’ll be one of the cool kids too.

That fuckin OCD story and the constant job changing is why I dropped the show over the summer. Honestly Sharon thinking she killed Heather and Ed Scott coming back to help with production is the only reason I started watching again.

Re-watching the reveal of the Newman Ranch, I couldn't help but realize the flashbacks (pre-HD especially) were much more shadowed and neutral in tone. So, while the refreshed production model (both pre-Edward J. Scott and post his return) is a return to form... it feels a bit off, still. And I tweaked it a bit.

So far, the highlight of this week has been MG. Daniel has been ON FIRE!!! Lighting into Sharon like a X-mas tree!!! Getting aggressive with Nick. The fury. Like mother, like son. I love it!!!

 

I do love how this all is slooowly coming out about Sharon to others. And like Nick, I want to shake her, too. But that said...I can't help, but feel that this is sooo typical 80s heroine. No benefit of the doubt and being selfless. And my ears perked up when Ward mentioned Sharon's KIDS. So is Mariah about to be roped into more of the story?

 

Yeah, I could care less about Billy outside of Jill. Has she left town? So I was over any scenes of him with Sally, Chelesa, and/or Adam. 

 

See, Diane? I told you you should have signed the papers and been sure there were no loopholes in the contract before firing Kyle. What ace does Victor have up his sleeves now? 

 

And just to be shady...I know we didn't just bring Elena back to be Giggly Heffa's nursemaid? Cuz...

Nope. 

 

Can't have that. Billy is the STAR.


RME.

Uh oh. I saw that look Chance gave when Kyle and Summer were talking. Chance, you are attractive AF. Don't get insecure that Kyle and Summer might get back together. But CF gave good acting today. And I was sorry to see him and Summer arguing. Not unexpected, but sad nonetheless.

 

Expected for sure, but annoying as heck...Billy trying to beg for his job at Jabot. And then making it all about him because Jack didn't want to tell him what's going on. BOY, BYE. I'm so over Billy and his whining and the fact that Victor won over him AGAIN. And I'm sorry Sally is saddled with him. 

 

Oh, lord, Giggly Heffa has awaken.

Hehe. It has been slower this week for sure. With the case of Sharon and Phyllis, I didn't mind that because it gives the aftermath of the car crash to gradually unfold. And that has been what I've been finding the most interesting this week.

 

I know what you mean...lol. I don't feel this has been a Sleeps Sweeps this year so yay for that!!! There has been a clear direction since Ed Scott has returned. And I liked that it appeared to show in the writing because for a couple of weeks there, Y&R was THE soap I looked forward to watching Day of the most. 

 

If I disliked anything this week, it's been too much Billy. lol. Saying that though, my mind immediately went to the idea of Billy vs Kyle Part 3 given they are both without jobs.

Yeah. I felt overall it was an okay week. But compared to last week, it was a less than. 

 

Outside of the aftermath of car crash and how it's shifting Sharon's storyline, it just felt like it was there. Back to that 'puzzle pieces' vibe...which I reserve for GH these days actually. lol. I can only assume that it's to build everything up again, but last week had such good momentum. 

 

I actually found Giggly Heffa to be a little toned down. At least on her tics. MS felt very controlled even as she was going off on Chance. Surprising me, I kinda liked it. 

 

I thought the Victor/Adam/Nick scene was interesting. I've been around for most of Adam being on the canvas outside of Justin Hartley's run so I find him being IDC about Sharon to ring false. It drove Chelesa cray cray in fact. So it was just odd. Nick was in character. And Victor was Victor-ing. hehe.

 

So disappointed Billy and Sally finally slept together. Sad for Sally at least. But I'll give JT this much...he looked good in his blue jeans. Just not here for Billy's pity party. And Adam seeing them as the cliffhanger to the week. Uh oh. 

 

Well, preview for next week looked good, focusing on stories I would be more interested in. 

Hehe. Well...GOOD.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
