LMAO! Obviously the final sabotage job comes into play when CBS announces “Don’t forget to a catch an all new B&B episode following @fter Midnight next on most of these CBS stations!”

I've complained non-stop about Y&R lately, but this week was pretty good, and Friday was a good cliffhanger.

-- The family scenes (like Friday's with Jack, Diane, Traci, and Kyle) are well-written with natural and real performances.

-- At least the kidnapping is over.

-- Looking at next week's previews, I worry the Alan plot will be rushed. Josh Griffith is bad at a lot of things, including playing the beats. There has to be something between his 3-week story arcs and the old days when Bill Bell took 3 years to finish a story.

-- I've been bored with Adam and Chelsea, but yesterday's scenes worked. They had some depth, and I felt movement in their relationship.

-- I am so tired of being teased with a possible Sharon and Nick reunification. If you're not going to go there, don't mention it. Seems like a sick joke to those of us who want them together and "know" they should be together.

If you're writing Nick as someone with a deep understanding of what they have together, then don't have him lead Sharon on before telling her they're better off as friends. It's cruel to her and cruel to the audience.

RIP Mr. Hauser, and may God be with his loved ones.

(So, if Y&R ever were to bring back Greg, even for one day, they'd have to go to Brian Kerwin or Howard McGillin.)

If there has been one good thing about the past few years it is that the show finally got the character on the right track. It helped that AH had chemistry with Burgi, Newman, and Peck while also finally letting AH relish in iciness/bitchiness instead of romantic heroine. 
 

Imagine if the show had not wasted her for a whole decade drooling over Billy…

Agreed. Y&R is the least interesting soap on the air right now. How it remains #1 is a testament to audience loyalty.

I'm surprised she lasted this long. At this point I would like to see Amelia and Heather Tom swap roles. Amelia can pull off a kind and timid character like B&B's Katie, we need Heather's boldness back in Victoria.

I can accept the Jess Walton and Peter Bergman recasts but I have never felt Amelia Heinle as Victoria.

I haven't been a fan, but she's grown on me to the point I think I would have found her fine if she hadn't had big shoes to fill.

She does have some memorable moments:

Everything with Billy Miller.

JT abuse storyline.

Her reaction to learning Clair/Eve was alive was great.

Leave it to Billy to make the kidnapping all about him. smh. Not that Giggly Heffa was much better. 

 

Okay start to the week. The suspense with Tracy and Alan was crazy. And that last scene with them made me wonder if...dare I say...did the wrong twin die after all? Things to make you go hmmm.

 

My apologies for if this sounds harsh, but given that JG always does a dark tale before he winds up exiting a show...was this episode a sign? Because the whole kidnapping was all a SAW rip-off. And now characters are talking about life and how important it is. It would be one thing if this was a way to see Sharon and Phyllis spin off into new interesting directions, but since I don't see that happening...hunni want is this?

 

I was happy to see Chance, Nick and Sharon talking, and even the Giggly Heffa with her kids. But it was just kinda...THERE. Outside of Tracy. 

I wouldn't mind that at all. I love him.

 

Very. AH is at her best when they allow Victoria to be an icy bitca. It's a shame they wasted so many of her years with her as romantic heroine though she had chemistry with the actors mentioned.

I have never seen the "Saw movie", so I didn't know about the Phyllis/Sharon kidnapping being similar to that, and had to look it up. 
Very interesting.
That reminds me that JG wrote for Tobin Bell on DAYS, for a short arc that aired in March 2016, so yeah JG is into Saw.

On DAYS, JG's horror character Yo Ling was a villainous spy, played by actor Tobin Bell. (Tobin Bell played the villain in SAW.)  Yo Ling claimed to be John Black's biological father.

In 2023 Carlivati retconned it that decades earlier, Yo Ling's younger self had switched places with Dick Van Dyke's character's younger self, so Dick Van Dyke's character was the real Timothy - the real biological father of John Black.
(one of the few decent ideas that Carlivati had).

    • If Reginald had had more dimensions he probably wouldn't have been killed off and Carl might not have been brought back to fill the international supervillain role. I think though that the Loves were also severely damaged by the way Nicole and Peter were made iredeemable and written out. I definitely feel that loss more than the loss of Reginald, primarily since they were good characters to begin with and were only ruined during this period.   
    • What if they were originally cast as Vanessa and Doug's twins and then were moved to Samantha/Tyrell when the show decided to delay introducing the twins? It's a shame they didn't stick with the original plan. BTW, does anybody have any new speculation on what Martin's secret will be? Brandon is hinting nobody is guessing it. Initially I thought it would be something where he was drunk and killed somebody or something like that but now I'm feeling like maybe it wasn't completely his fault. I don't get the vibe they're going to take him in a dark direction anymore.

    • I don't think some of Samantha's hairstyles have worked with the ponytails and bows making her look like an older adult wearing a 10-year-old hairstyle.    Bows work on Kat much better for Kat's age and personal style. We've known since the start that Eva was a hairstylist before she began working for Nicole.  I like that they brought that back, with Ted arranging for her to work at a high-end salon.  Yesterday's scene with Martin bringing Eva over for pizza with his family, and then Eva doing hairstyles for Samantha worked (for me). I did think that the new hairstyle that Eva created for Samantha was less "little girl" and somehow even though more mature, it made the actress Najah look less aged. Can't quite explain it, but she looks better now.
    • That backdoor pilot may have failed, yet one year later "Empty Nest" became a reality anyway, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

      The show was completely revamped of course, but still....
    • Honestly, either 6-7 and 10-11 would've worked better. But maybe they wanted actors who wouldn't be held to child labour laws and needed them to be able to act, especially if they're (eventually?) going to go with their bio mama showing up (June??). 
    • I thought it interesting that in the Claybon/Manning youtube with Michael Fairman, Brandon Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially supposed to be 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17.  (Not sure what "technical reasons" means but that's what he said.) Claybon didn't mention when this decision was made to change the ages of the children. No mention of when this happened during the process of casting/writing/preparation. Just speculating: I wonder if Najah Jackson and Jaden Lucas Miller were cast later than other recurring actors due to this change? - so maybe that's how they selected Ms. Jackson? 
    • Damn, there was a tiny pre-emption where I'm from and I missed the Kat/Nicole scene, according to recaps.
    • That Kristina caused the accident.
    • I'm unclear:  What specifically does Lucky know about Elizabeth's accident and Kristina?
