 I am currently watching BTG on the DVR every evening yet for Y&R I’m just blah about and currently behind a week although I do at least still read daily recaps…but what I’ve read isn’t exactly encouraging to catch up…

”Nick dashes Sharon’s hope for reconciliation while Adam & Chelsea have sex…”

As for B&B’s current mess yikes…! I’m not touching that with a 10 foot pole Needless to say if I was a CBS exec I would’ve given B&B a crappy Love of Life timeslot move to a 3:30 ET move behind Y&R, BTG, AND LMAD just to give a big red flag to Thudley.  
 

All in all the Bell soaps had their big chance to step up their A game with BTG’s premiere and both shows BLEW it. 
 

I remember back in 1997 when Days and AW having major cliffhangers leading into the Monday that Sunset Beach premiered, and other soaps also had big events too, for example Holden returning on ATWT the same day Sunset Beach aired.

Likewise again in 1999 when Passions first aired we had the iconic John & Marlena wedding on Days the same day while Sunset Beach aired a special event episode meanwhile all four CBS smartly countered programmed, particularly ATWT by introducing the AW crossover characters it inherited in Oakdale

Really the show just needs a more consistent and stable HW at the moment. Obviously Josh Griffith isn’t it by far but surely there has to be at a more competent writer out there, or at lease someone to straighten up his worst demons & tendencies at best.

I’m reminded of the horrible OCD story lol. JG explains how it’s personal and his in real life daughter has her good & bad days and how they worked it out…yet out of nowhere Connor ends up out of nowhere on the spectrum and institutionalized. WTF?

@Khan Firstly, Josh Griffith probably has no idea who Brooks Prentiss is, and secondly, if Josh Griffith digs into Y&R's past, he'd most likely fumble the execution.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • 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.
    • @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.
