Completely agree!! I was totally in love with her look today they did a great job between the hair and the dress of what a diva Jill should be!

Another good episode today. I was a little underwhelmed going in at first by it being another monumental episode a with Abby wedding, but there actually more focus of everything else to make it work.

Key moments I enjoyed:

Yolanda/Harmony AND Ana back. The show dropped a huge ball squandering Loren Lott, it’s never too late to say sorry is it?

Jill’s scenes with Billy

The Jack and Ashley scenes and catching up…I was a bit surprised Ashley didn’t know what happened with Jack and Nikki but then again she wasn’t herself was she?

Sharon vs Phyllis coming to a head with the car crash…not everything is at it seems is it?

And finally, I loved seeing Diane just casually slip in at the last moment in the back.

She wasn't.

Loose note...YOU BETTA SING, ANA!!!! Oh, how I've missed Loren Lott!!!

 

Where do I even start? Other than the dresses. LOL!!! I was worried when I saw pictures of Nikki's dress, but seeing it on my screen...that top works perfectly with that. And blue is clearly becoming MTS's color. Other highlights were Ana's, Audra's (YOU GO, GIRL!!!), Victoria (love the ponytail!), Ashley, Diane (I know she didn't crash hehe), and of course the wedding girl Abby.

 

So sweeping camera angles in the openings are really going to be a thing. lol. I thought it was very interesting that they started this episode just like they started their last episode milestone episode with Abby in that room. Really funny since that last time she was marrying Chance. And how they had the ranch set up and used space was really good. And that angle when Victor interrupted Devon, Lily, Nate, Yolanda, and Ana with the camera over the table...mmmm. And to see so many of the cast was cute. I see you in that suit, Josh Morrow.

I too enjoyed Jack and Ashley talking anew. It's been forever. And of course, Ashley will be there talking sense. 

 

EAT HIS ASS, VICTOR. EAT...HIS...ASS. I'm so serious. lol. Thank you for wiping that smug look off Billy's face like I expected him to. Him telling Billy to swallow his ego for his NIECE...YAASSSS!!! CHECK HIM. lol. But I loved that whole scene where Billy pulled Lily aside to warn her, Jill wants in, she and Victor exchange a look...that Billy and Lily catch...that was well-executed. 

 

Viva La Jill!!! She was still looking fierce today. And just the tale that JW was telling with her face as she was talking to Billy at Chancellor was such a masterclass of acting. You could tell Jill was so conflicted on what to say to him...that Victor had won...that Billy was fired. Even though he did everything she wanted. I didn't feel a thing for Billy, but I felt plenty for Jill in that moment. And of course, Jill would not be Jill if she didn't get into it with Esther...who also looked good. 

 

And AHA!!!!!!!!!!  If Sharon lost her phone, then WHO is sending Phyllis texts? And how the episode played out it COULDN'T be Sharon. Meaning I'm probably right and someone is drugging her!!!!!!!! Which probably means that she did not kill Heather. Finally a turn in this storyline!!! 

 

And yes, I loved the Neil AND Dru mention.

I've really enjoyed the episodes since the unveiling of the rebuilt ranch. This batch has been the most enjoyable since the 50th anniversary week.

[Paul Raven]

Hopefully Josh can lift his game.

I found the Jill/Esther interaction was a bit mean on Jill's part. I thought they had moved on from that. Jill still could have had a go at Esther but in a more teasing way. Glad Esther brushed it off.

[soapfan770]

I definitely second this as well. There’s been a decent number of moments and episodes scattered here and there since, but nothing this consistent.

Jill be nice to Esther…? Nah never lol besides Esther started it.

[Taoboi]

Same. Who knew it would turn into Must See TV. And IN November Sweeps. lol.

[lucaslesann23]

I think Griffith does good during sweeps, last may we got the two hander with Jack overdosing on pills, Jordan getting tortured in Victor's dungeon and the end of Ashley's DID story with Alan's evil twin. 

Previous November was when Nikki got kidnapped.

[Taoboi]

Ha! When Hades freezes over maybe. 

[BoldRestless]

I really liked all the dresses except Abbys ironically.

[Taoboi]

There's a reason I do the Sweep Threads asking will be Sweeps...or Sleeps here. It's like a running joke at this point.

But I agree that when JG does still have moments when things are going good. And they will be that way for a while. His writing just errs and flows too much. I would say before now...the last time the episodes had any flow that hit the whole canvas was during Ashley's storyline once everyone started to realize she had alters and hit another level of flow when a third of the cast hit Paris. And since Ashley's storyline climaxed (for now?) in Paris, the flow to the writing slowly left again. So it's good to see the momentum again. 

 

 

 

 

Oh? Why not if you don't mind me asking.

[lucaslesann23]

Ohhh ok Gotcha! Yeah agreed. When a storyline starts and usually ends I really like the show.

 

It's in the middle or between stories the show seems to get really slow or goes in circles imo.

[BoldRestless]

I felt like it was a party dress. Not bridal enough.

[Taoboi]

I do wonder if beside Ed Scott's return having immediate impact, if I am liking it as well because Y&R have new writers in house, too. 

 

Ah!!

[Joseph]

I can definitely agree with that! I felt that from the moment I first saw it in the previews, but I thought "She's a moderna girl, that's a modern Dress" but I Much preferred her 2 previous ones
