Are we supposed to be fans of Billy and Sally together? Is Billy ever [!@#$%^&*] single on this show for more than 5 minutes?

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.

Nope!

This is the end result of that [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous OCD quadrangle that no one asked for from this past summer. 

MCE and Grossman have zero chemistry. It’s why all their 2019-21 stuff just didn’t work. 

CH’s Sally doesn’t deserve this.

On his SOD Interview, Griffith said this Will be 

Spoiler

A triangle between Sally/Billy/Phyllis 😅

 

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.

 

PB got a 30th in 2019. are they giving him another for 35?

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.

Exactly!

Y&R focusing on the same characters for years and trapping them in these romantic merry go rounds does the show no favors.

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...

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.

I’ll share my thoughts later this week once we ge through tomorrow (and I skipped through a lot of Wednesday’s episode between local station here in South Carolina forminterruptions for Susan Smith parole hearing but also due to too much Billy lol so I may have to go back!)

That said while the high from last week has lessened, I like this week so far a lot. Probably the first time in a long time we have actually gotten 2-3 weeks of worthy sweeps material and not sleeps material in sweeps month as we like to say.

Highlights for the week for me  so far include Jack/Diane/Kyle, Victor vs Diane, Sharon’s confession, Daniel’s rage and surprisingly Ian and Jordan 

Elena back with zero fanfare. We need to see her reaction to Nate and Audra 🤣

Also Sally telling Chelsea off, made better with Connor telling Sally he wished she  was still around when Chelsea randomly appeared to remind us that she still exists. LOL.

Hopefully Adam and Sally will reconcile by Christmas/New Year’s and leave both Billy and Chelsea in the cold 🤣
 

Meanwhile if our manchilds Billy and Kyle do end up back at Jabot having to face off with each other I’m here for it lol. 

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.
