Yeah I miss her…has Amanda even mentioned her at all since she’s been back?

It’s a shame this whole Dumas thing is going nowhere either when really such a story should have a suspenseful buildup with the revelation of Dumas’ identity being a guessing game and then a jaw dropping twist. Yet JG has fumbled it badly.

I don't think she has at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she say her mother passed?

 

Don't get me started. Damian should have been kept as head of Dumas and we question his motives. The story up til the Dumas plot twist was great, refreshing, and had twists and turns that the Dumas twist was just unnecessary and seem to be made so the story could be hijacked by everyone NOT Devon/Nate/Lily so they have something to do. Even now, that part of the story...and their involvement in it...feels like an afterthought. 

Yep. Pretty much.

A mixed bag. On one hand, it's a pretty good episode. Amanda's return is having immediate impact. And I'm here for everyone in Damian's orbit. On the other hand, it still had an air of stalling out this Dumas storyline which has immediately gotten annoying. Okay been annoying. Side-note...Sally is just wasting away being with Billy.

 

The Bad for Me:

 

We get more attention on Summer now that she's not on the canvas than we did when she was still on the canvas. It just seems like JG is butthurt that AL left. No one to blame, but himself. 

 

I know we are not going to have Amanda against Billy/Sally. A waste of an actress. Speaking of Amanda, I don't think I will ever get used to the Giggly Heffa/Amanda friendship.

 

Why mention Jill and that she's retired...which sounds like we are NEVER getting Jess Walton back btw...and have Amanda tell Billy to make amends with her...if she's not coming back?

 

What was Good for Me:

 

Just Amanda's presence. Her meeting with Devon, Billy, and Nate. Her meeting with Giggly Heffa. Her meeting with Billy and Sally. And just the air of mystery that MM is giving to Amanda. That intrigues. And to be clear...is the dialogue saying that she knows who Dumas is because she has seen him face-to-face or do they video-talk or move through his assistant? I was unclear. But it would be VERY interesting if she has seen his face and know who it really is. 

 

Awwww at Amy and Damian reaching a point where they are completely getting along. But I liked the scenes with them and Nate, Devon, and Lily. And Damian and Lily...I like of course.

What can I say? All things Audra. lol. And that coda with her in that yellow dress...funnily enough reminds me of the coda of Imani finding out Elena was going on a work trip, leaving Nate all the way alone. hehe. Good times!

 

The episode was pretty much background music, but I did enjoy Audra vs Holden and how she continued to weave her web around Kyle. I even enjoyed Kyle vs Holden because he is soooo threatened, and he knows it. If I was worried about anything...it's that Holden really knows Audra a little tooooo well.

 

It was nice seeing Cole and NOT sick.

 

Ugh at any idea of a Sharon/Nick/Giggle Heffa triangle again. And I liked Sharon calling Nick out. Other than that...God, JM was looking good.

Give it another day or two.

 

I did, too. The friendship seemed genuine with Tognoni. It doesn't with Stafford.

 

-- Today was another day of wash, rinse, repeat. Just more business talk without a sighting of a product or a company goal. Beyond boring. Josh Griffith thinks that discussing "perfume wars" without showing the perfume or the wars is good soap, and it's not.

I had lunch with a friend who works in the beauty/wellness field. She had just attended a big pow wow in NY with brands big(Estee Lauder,Unilever etc) and smaller players.

The talk was how social media and now AI are shaking things up like never before.

Meanwhile Y&R are treating Jabot/Vibrante like it's still the 80's.

How about all of that talk on today's show about the Cola Wars on the 1980s and McDonalds vs Burger King? Jesus, these writers are horrifically stuck in the past.

There's nothing about ANY company on Y&R that sounds like it could compete in today's business world.

      I also get why Gio feels his life was a lie. I get everyone's emotions are high now That's why I think Monica passing will be the catalyst that starts to the healing process for Gio, BLQ, Lois, Tracy, Ned, Olivia and Dante

      Judging by the fact that I was able to watch two episodes today, looks like Canada being a day ahead might be permanent.

      Agreed! I normally don't rate Amanda Setton that highly as an actress, but she knocked those scenes out of the park. Between this and the Michael storyline, I think we're in for a week of juicy drama. I heard everyone talking about how dull Rory Gibson was on Y&R, but I thought he was pretty good today playing a steelier version of Michael. And I loved Wiley's little "Bye mommy!" moment. The writers clearly know how much most of us hate Willow if they're tossing out little nuggets of schadenfreude like that one.

      Slower day, but not bad. I thought Tomas was at his personal best today, flirting with Kat at Uptown.  Hayley is pregnant!  Oh boy... Samantha felt more like the babysitter today vs. the young sister. I'm ready to meet Sharon. I want a strong dynamic so it's not a repeat of what we just saw with Tracy's reunion.

      They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before.

      I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?

      Haha same! I didn't like her in the beginning, but over time, I've really grown to love to hate her as a villain.  I can't wait to listen to today's new episode later tonight! I've been waiting for the mom and dad (Crystal/Vincent) to have an interaction, so I'm happy to hear it's today.

      I've always really been enjoying the show. It's very well produced and has so many soap stars in it. I was just listening to ep 7 on YoutTube and can say I'm hooked. There was an intense scene with Crystal Chappell and Vincent Irizarry about halfway through that was GOOD! Is it bad I kind of like Mina? I know she's supposed to be the main villian
