Y&R: February 2025 Discussion Thread

 

I just realized the Newmans had another major story that they didn’t involve Abby in at all. She really should be at Abby Carlton at this point.

That's how I was when I was playing catch-up. With MO now recurring, I feel like she's going to be like Where's Waldo?

EB 45th anniversary February 8, so I wonder if Monday February 10 will be a special anniversary episode.

Ooooo

Enough of the anniversary episodes. Every 10 years is enough.

Well tbf, it does seem like people hit milestones roughly the same time to when they were introduced so I can't fault on that. 

So now Nate has two huge sofas and a huge ottoman in his living room? I've never seen a set redecorated so many times in my entire life.

2-3

 

Off to a good start.

 

For one...yay the Daiman storyline is back.

 

And you can never go wrong with Victor vs Jack. lol. But of course, here we go with Romeo and Juliet...I mean Kyle and Claire. Hopefully, Claire keeps her edge. And I enjoyed the Kyle/Diane scenes. But loooord at the idea of Victor and Jack trying to get in-between those two...ON TOP of Summer. Let everyone have their own stories. lol. I like the fallout from Jordan/Ian's reign of terror. Though I do worry that them not knowing Ian is still alive. BTW M Graz knocked his scenes when Sharon, Nick, and Michael told him who killed Heather as well as him and Sharon coming to terms out of the park.

 

I am loving the rapport that Amy and Audra have grown throughout the Daiman storyline. And Damian is finally in town. My only regret is that I spoiled (oops) the next plot twist. I should have seen it coming. Especially with what Daiman's favorite book is. And ooooooo I love it. I want more.

 

Billy trying to get over his obsession with Victor and do business with Giggly Heffa and Daniel was clear C plot. 

 

 

**Holden? We have Damian and of course Lily, but now we have a Holden?
 

Obviously JG has been watching mid-90’s episodes of ATWT on YouTube @Paul Raven @kalbir😂

The  twist ending of Holden & Damian has me definitely intrigued now, and I liked the mystery and dynamic between the two as they stayed one step ahead of Nate while Nate was also correctly guessing their next move.

Agree with all of this. I really enjoyed Monday & Tuesday’s episodes and the sort of surrogate family dynamic that is developing between Nate, Audra, and Amy, especially between Amy and Audra. Tuesday’s ep has Amy tell a nice heart warming and touching story about Damian’s  first cat which gives the story a nice human touch in the aftermath of two psychotics run amok last month.

Hahaha it’s classic Victor for sure, but as for JG’s new “Romeo & Juliet” it seems to me that nobody cares Kyle & Claire dating other than Victor. I think Summer only barely cares because she doesn’t want to lose her precedence and status as Harrison’s adopted mother to Claire.

Graz was fantastic in Monday’s scenes. Actually Tuesday’s scenes between MS and SC actually worked as well.

Hahahaha well we had Victor *pretend* to call Abby last week but Victor didn’t do it and gave Ian a flimsy excuse that he would never put Abby in danger (yet had no qualms about beckoning Adam lol). 

But yes Abby wasn’t even dragged in again. Remember the first time Jordan held them hostage and Abby was all like “Oh I like to stay out of the loop with the Newmans!” It has become a running gag other than the Ranch reveal and 13000th episode week. 
And with MO on recurring it will stay that way.

I started watching earlier today and have gotten to that part. I want to say I wanted to meh about it, but I guess it goes to the talent of the actress that once she said that darn cat came out during dinner that I was giggling right along with her. I was shocked how touching a story it was. I agree...perhaps because we have been dealing with psychos for the last month, that I really loved the normalcy of those scenes. And hey...Nate got a haircut!!!

Soooooooo much yes. I'm loved the first 5 minutes and how sassy Sharon got with Giggly Heffa. THAT'S the Sharon I'm used to seeing and I liked how SC played what I've seen so far, still feeling the aftereffects of what happened, but she was not about to let that heffa get her all the way together. Moreso since Phyllis remembered IT WAS NOT SHARON that drove her off the road. In fact, I will probably rewatch those scenes because both were acting, bringing their A game, but it's been a very busy day for me today so could not give it nearly the amount of attention that I wanted to give.

Nah! I wish it was true, but I feel JG is going to throw her in their direction.

The joke that keeps on giving. lol. She came back from her honeymoon and has just vanished. Well does stuff off-screen...like in the case of her saving Tessa and Aria.

So you know how I felt since the reveal that Damian owned the company in the first place.   And how annoyed I was the storyline vanished for a week and a half.
