So another week goes by w/o Dumas appearing. 

I'm pretty sure it's Billy Flynn. Dumas was said to be a fake name so will he be someone from the past?

Having reactions to the Abbott redo is not a storyline or worthy of being in the previews-just proves how lackluster the stories are.

At this rate, they can have anyone who has ever visited the Abbott house pop in and give their verdict to Diane.

I'm speechless too as the Abbott home looks like something my great aunt might have loved...not Diane.

Why is Victoria dressed like Miss Piggy in the Muppets Take Manhattan?

The term 'funeral home' has been mentioned.

And someone should tell Traci that larger older women are no longer are limited to wearing ugly floral long line tops and sporting sensible matronly hair-dos.

Didn’t Mark Grossman and Sharon Case date briefly in real life? Seems like there might be some awkwardness there. I’m ok with Adam pairing up with anyone but Sally. Chelsea/Adam and Sharon/Adam both have big fandoms and could drive good future story so I’m ok with either.

Maybe JFP is back to help sort out production issues and a way of managing budget/taping that makes better use of the set situation.

Because something needs to be done. When an episode begins and we see a character walk into empty Crimson Lights a feeling of dread creeps in , only increased by the next scene set at Society...

Compounding the issue is the fact that the conversations taking place are hardly compelling.

I was just thinking last night how the Y&R universe feels condensed and smaller. The world of Genoa City seems so watered down now and there’s less storylines happening. I remember when there were like EIGHT different storylines happening simultaneously.. granted they weren’t all getting a ton of airtime but character and storyline development was always happening on the back burner and they would each have a turn to come to the front burner. JG has all his eggs in this Dumas story? Really? And then what else is happening? Kyle/Claire? And it’s not even good. Another thing.. I am fully okay with having more storylines and having them be more ISOLATED. I don’t need everyone in town crossing paths and being involved in each others [!@#$%^&*]. It feels like I’m watching big brother or something. It’s not soapy and doesn’t feel believable when everyone’s up in each others business. There’s so many characters that could be having their own stories without having to pop up 2-5 times a month to prop up the one LAME storyline happening at that time. 

It’s almost as if JG can’t handle the juggling act that comes with balancing multiple storylines at once and making it work. It’s much easier for him to focus one 1 or maybe 3 stories at the absolute most and make the entire cast on Y&R centre around those. It’s super [!@#$%^&*] lame. Ok rant over.

Again, I think the budget is playing a big part in how the show is constructed.

A lot of the actors are on low guarantees so they can't be on too much,there no extra sets available etc.That's why stories like Mariah/Tessa are on for a few days and basically a retelling of offscreen events.

Also, having characters sitting at a table for most of the episode means less need for rehearsal, thus saving time and money.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
