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.

    • 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.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • 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.
