I have a really hard time seeing Joey Armstrong the way the show wants me to see him.

I am not even sure if JL is the right actor for the character MVJ is writing.

Ashley Jones was fine so far. In a world where Daphne Duplaix plays grandmother to grown ups, I might pretend to believe that Heather is Joey's sister.

There is nothing remotely scary or dangerous about the portrayal of Joey. Literally everything he says is dripping with sarcasm and zero menace. Also the writing of Joey as just the smartest person that’s ever breathed air is just exhausting. Have we seen Joey have a single loss since the show started? And it drives me insane the way he gaslights Vanessa’s children knowing he had their father hopefully “killed” just pisses me off even further. If Deanna isn’t going to be full time and they want to portray her as crazy, I’d be more than happy if she killed Joey and we’d be done with him.

you can file this one under ‘escapism vs some semblance of reality.’

I’ve just accepted that part of the story. Most people on soaps are super wealthy from doing nothing anyway. I don’t even know how anyone on Y&R even makes money the way everyone gets fired and hired every other week.

Naomi looks amazing today.

She sure did.

It was great seeing Victor and Anita interact.

Smitty looked great in his tux.

here’s the reference: escapism vs any semblance of reality

I'm hoping at some point the money runs out for Leslie. It's ridiculous that she can fund clinics, spots centers and build her own mansion. We're talking multiple millions here.

It would be in character that she blows it all and it would be a comeuppance that many viewers want, seeing that it seems she isn't going to be punished for her crimes any time soon.

And it would be good to see her scheming, trying to get back to where she was, rather than smugly moving around town, throwing money about.
