Nope. Just good living shows GREAT results.

Yeah, I was hoping it wasn't one of those stupid episodes. I actually thought Giggly Heffa had really showed up in Paris to talk to Billy because she has been acting cray cray. And Sharon and Nick have been growing closer again. But as soon as Chelesa mentioned how she felt like she was falling in love with Adam again when she's been everything BUT that up until now...I figured. 

 

I tried. But once Nick started to talk in that long monologue...I was like...NOPE. Though SC was selling it.

 

Once I hit FF and saw Sally with Adam (CH looking great with the red hair), I was out. I went ahead and looked at next week's previews. 

 

Like I said earlier...the Damian storyline is the ONLY thing really happening and this past week proved that. It is giving soap. Everything else...not so much. A waste of a February Sweeps week.

 

And it also showed how much Y&R is lacking in young or any couples right now that they could not find a plausible VD episode couple to write around.

Omg when I realized Audra has known this whole time Holden was an imposter, I was like damnit. She’s finally not a complete pariah but the second this comes out, she’s gonna be on the outs again

IKR. At first it didn't hit me because I was just shocked that she knew him. Then I was timetabling in my head on if they were in the same scenes together. And then as they kept talking, I was...wait...does that mean...GUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLL!!!

 

She worked so hard for her inroads. And now...ugh. MESS!!!

Is Melissa Ordway back on contract, or did they just forget to erase her name when they took her off contract?  (She's listed in the credits as a contract player, although she's been "downgraded" from Abby Abbott-Newman-Chancellor-Winters to just Abby Winters.)

Lily/Damian are working for me. I like it...a lot. 

Holden/Audra are also interesting. 

I can't believe there's something fresh and interesting on this show. It has been awhile! Forget about dioramas and redecorating the Abbott mansion and focus on this. Please.

I watched the last few minutes of the episode, looking to see if they had some big cliffhanger for BTG's debut next week. Unfortunately, there was no such cliffhanger. The same boring content continued. The preview for next week's episode was just as, if not more, boring.

I have big problems with all 4 soaps, but I honestly think Y&R is the worst.

The other 3 can greatly annoy me and get me to rant, but Y&R is just flat-out boring. With GH and BOLD and DAYS, I say "I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing." With Y&R, I say "Why am I even watching this?"

The DAYS stuff with Body & Soul was a disaster -- and Ron Carlivati deserved to be fired -- yet at least it was a trainwreck. Even a trainwreck is better than what we get on Y&R.

I wonder how much anyone at CBS and Sony cares about this show any longer. If they did, Josh Griffith would have been thrown out long ago.

    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
