Friday 11/15 

A solid week ends on a high note. 

High points include unhinged Sharon’s confessions to Nick, Jack and Diane’s confession to Kyle, and Audra catching the bouquet.

The one low point has got to be the ramblings of Billy vowing revenge blah blah blah. Old news.

Couple random musings:

-I spied a picture of Robert Adamson’s Noah on the fireplace mantle in Sharon’s cabin so I guess Rory Gibson’s mopey Noah has been permanently erased lol?

-Sally, despite designing Abby’s dress mentioned she chose not to attend the wedding so she could avoid running into Adam, but Adam didn’t even attend either unless I missed him the background…In fact I thought it was sad Adam didn’t attend Heather’s funeral last week . 
 

Six good episodes in a row, let’s hope the streak continues into next week.

@BetterForgotten LOL Thanks for the laugh!

They have looked incredible. I have dipped back into the show to see these episode and Jess Walton's return. She has been typically excellent. Though I don't love the weakening of Jill, it is the most sensible route to give motivation for her to sell Chancellor to Victor. 

The Sharon story has interested me, though I wish Sharon Case didn't do all the Botox and fillers to her face - she literally cannot emote and her face is unnaturally rounded out. 

I noticed the lighting changes right away at Society - that set was overly brightly lit in the past. The Newman ranch set is beautiful. Proof that the show can deliver an attractive program and that they've been incredibly lazy and poorly lead for years.

AGREED! Man SW was selling that Gown like nobody's business! She looked So Amazing! 

I loved that the "Happy Couple" couldn't refute the shade either!

Production has overall gotten so much better and I'm Surprised they managed to bring such good solid Episodes all in a row!

I beg to differ on the pic on Sharon's mantle. It's still Rory's Noah up there. I've been paying close attention and they've been showing Rory's photo for the past few months. It's still him.

I thought Billy had asked Sally to be his date for the wedding, but I guess not. And you're right, Adam wasn't even there. Billy even mentioned Adam's absence to Sally today. No explanation whatsoever. Not even, "Connor needed me".

What a week.  On one hand, we had a gorgeous wedding at the rebuilt Newman Ranch. In contrast, we had the undoing of Sharon. If that wasn’t enough, Billy gets fired, Phyllis is in a life-threatening car crash and Diane betrays her son to get the best of Victor. To top it off, we add Diabolical Ian Ward and Aunt Jordan.

Has Abby had any recent  scenes with Chance- her last hubby? Something along the lines of her informing Chance she was remarrying and them wishing each other well?

That marriage seems like it never happened.

And what about Aunt Mamie? Why wouldn't she be  there? She was all about family at one point. Or did Mamie get a farewell scene?

Mamie seems to have disappeared without any mention. WTF  At one point they said she had returned to Detroit (I think) for business. Other than that, gone baby, gone.

There were a thousand times more flowers at this wedding than there were people. And they were so worried about getting a venue. LOL smh

I forgot to mention that I liked that sequence in Thursday’s episode of Nikki announcing Devon and Abby as husband and wife with the happy wedding music in the background, and then Victor waking to the door with the music shifting to something more intense. 

Griffith’s stories are still mundane and illogical, but at least the show is more aesthetically pleasing than it’s been in a long time. It definitely helps elevate the questionable material.

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
