What a random ep... the only male that would definitely be at Danny's bachelor party is Daniel so of course he wasn't there. I guess they had to fullfill the contract guarantees of Jack, Diane, Nate, Victoria, and Devon. Surprised they sprung for a day's pay for Melissa Ordway for this, considering she has nothing to do with Christine. 

 

This must be the transition to most of the "action" (jk) taking place in LA and then whatever remaining characters are leftover in GC will randomly be thrown together.

It's really really cringe when they have the characters walk in and announce "boy, this place is sparse!" "This sure is INTIMATE, huh?" It's bad enough that they have no extras, actually putting the rationalization into the writing is just terrible. Nice touch with Nate speaking to the offscreen "manager" about the blown fuse, lmao. 

@yrfan1983 would appreciate the attempts to try to explain the random characters' connection to Danny and Cricket. They mentioned that Jack introduced them at the Jabot offices, and that Danny used to be friendly with Amy and how Nate's father used to help Danny with his music. I was surprised since that's relatively accurate.

Wow those are deep cuts, and indeed accurate!

Yet the sad thing to point out is that back in April 1992, Cricket thought it was Traci who introduced her and Danny! I hate to say it's kind of bad that the show's creator and HW at the time forgot that, and one of the current show's most blandest, boring writers to date, actually did the research to back up everything! Although maybe we are giving JG too much credit...LOL

As if Cricket wouldn’t remember that her first time “meeting” Traci was saving her from the suicide attempt

The whole Christine/Danny wedding story is kind of random. Neither have had any presence on the show in years. As witnessed by the collection of 'friends' at the celebration.

It's nice nostalgia but pretty much filler. Where is the wedding venue? GCAC?

I think it must have been easier for JG to ask the "Y&R historian" because those clips were pulled a year or two ago for LLB's anniversary episode. They had the clip where Danny and Cricket meet, so they knew it happened in Jack's office.

They have no storyline, putting them in the company of... everyone else. 

 

With the nonsense that goes on at the Emmys, it would be quite funny if Michael Damian, Lauralee Bell, Christian Le Blanc, Tracey Bergman, Beth Maitland, etc could submit themselves as "guest stars" and get nominated. CLB could probably win if they would give him maybe one worthwhile scene. Which they won't.

It's a shame we didn't see the ladies reminiscing about how they all met or their younger days during the party. If they didn't want to have Traci say "Cricket saved me from attempting suicide" they could have just had her say "Cricket really helped me when I was most struggling" or something like that. We also could have had Lauren and Diane mention wishing Amy could have joined and then talking about their pasts with Paul/Andy etc.....sadly it was just the guys reminiscing.

Man how so many of us wish we had that "historian" job too!   I would assume that means going through all the episodes and selecting clips to use for flashbacks? 

I accidentally got spoiled as to the person who showed up at the end of today's episode and I was really hoping he would turn out to be Esther's date, haha.

Well tbf Danny and Chris DID have a storyline. Their slowly getting back together right when Giggly Heffa and Danny were actually showing feelings for each other as well. And it ALMOST looked like Danny might even pick Phyllis. But then...he picked Chris. And in spite of Giggly Heffa's attempts to sabotage, they made it out of town and have been in and out every since.

Oh?

 

 

This Mariah / Ian stuff is as bad as I imagined it would be.

Today was so boring. Does anyone care about Tessa/Daniel or Mariah moping around and crying again for the 100th episode? zzzzzz 

Y&R is 90% hot garbage. Josh Griffith needs to go.

Tomorrow!!

 

LMAO. Good luck steering this one, Alan.
