-- That's how I feel. These conversations with a couple sitting at a table for the entire episode are deadly and maddening. They're so low energy it's pathetic.

Even the Victor/Claire conversation was a waste. We got multiple scenes of Claire putting up her argument for seeing Kyle, and Victor seems amenable. It ends, though, with Victor making comments and faces that tell us nothing has changed for him. So what was it all for? Why make us sit through that?

Likewise, an episode-long conversation between Adam and Chelsea about their relationship is boring. There's no reason to care about them. Ditto for Billy and Sally. Why should I care that they're in love?

-- I know I'm a broken record, but the sets problem on Y&R is enormous. Creating a beautiful new set like Billy's house (and I do think it's great) is not enough. Moving characters from the GCAC to Society to Crimson Lights and back to Society and then to the GCAC is just awful, and it takes me out of many scenes.

-- Josh Griffith apparently thinks talking about a new set (the Abbott mansion redo) is a storyline. It isn't.

 

I think Ian is the kidnapper of Sharon and Phyllis, too. Why? He is the obvious answer, and Josh Griffith is so bad at his job that he thinks we'll be shocked at the obvious perp.

I mean at this point...the only thing saving it is the chemistry of the actresses in spite of how much I don't want to admit that. 

 

Part of me wants them to go at it like Marlena and Kristen in the Secret Room on DAYS if they are going to do this.

And again like I said yesterday, it's the Damian storyline keeping this show afloat. Though this episode did have other things going on that kept my interest. 

 

So Devon got to interact with Damian. And I felt that was the highlight of the episode. If anyone would understand what Damian would be feeling knowing his father was not his blood father, it would be Devon. It made up for him telling on Lily and her background search. I'm not sure if Damian should have been tipped off, but it does not seem like that will stop Damian/Lily from happening so cool.

 

And I love that Amy is going for it. She agreed with Nate to see the specialist. I would like to keep her around so I'm all for that.

 

Other than that, I do like that Claire is using that evil brain of hers to start to side-eye Summer. Because Summer has been making it clear with her potshots. And I liked the scene between them about Claire's career. Yes, Claire saw working with children as a thing she liked and her redemption, but Claire also had a passion for the business work. And she's been showing it and dressing it. So that backbone is still there. So I liked the Nikki/Claire scene. 

 

I also liked Kyle calling Summer out. But again...I feel Summer was better off with Chance. But alas...

I really need to finish last week’s episodes of The SAW and the Restless….

See above LOL. 
 

You perfectly summed up my frustration the show.

@Taoboi @kalbir @Antoyne @YRfan23 As for Sharon’s kidnapper obviously we know it’s probably Ian but I propose it to be NICK as responsible. This is all one giant scheme of his which is mind will end the animosity between Phyllis and Sharon. This revelation comes about at a garden party at the Newman party. Nick has a mental breakdown and desperately tries to explain his rationale, but Victor and Summer are unconvinced and have the authorities haul Nick off to Fairview. As Nick is hauled off in a straight jacket Victor promises his son he’ll get the best help. Morrow’s exit is announced afterward and frees up the budget.

I think Nick is behind this Sharon/Phyllis nonsense. For reasons. Maybe he has an Ian mask making him do things. 

Beyond pointless, this story is boring. The writers have ruined both women. Sharon comes off as if she's still being drugged.

Haha, I'd actually welcome the idea of Nick having some sort of breakdown and getting locked up!

 In a way it's what he deserves for what he's put Sharon through!

Hahaha, dead.

Do not give Josh Griffith ideas.

Hahaha, love it!

I've been saying for years that Y&R needs a big cast purge.

JM does not have the acting skills to pull off an emotional breakdown.

      Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO.

      Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By JoeCool · Posted

      @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.

      I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).

      Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.

      That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.

      Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.

      I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.

      There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
