...but there's already a Newman  / Abbott child.  Paging the new Abby...paging Abby...

Not sure if Billy / Victoria offspring would be that big a deal, but then again, the YR writers have forgotten / misused their history so much it wouldn't shock me that a Billoria child would be a sign of the coming Apocalypse.

Well, at least Tracey Bregman appears to be having a good time in this AWFULLY INSANE storyline!!! I hope she is enjoying the extra cash, but I am also hoping for a speedy end to this foolishness!!!

Why not just have the REAL Sheila return???? Or better yet, give Lauren a NEW nemesis??? Perhaps one of the owners of a rival boutique who hates her for causing her to have to go out of business and declare bankruptcy??? Or maybe someone who hates MICHAEL coming to town to punish him??? How about that Hillary woman who used to be on the show??? Couldn't she have come back to the show with a grudge??? I love Kimberlin Brown, so I would've been much happier to see her come back, but I really think it's time for them to leave Sheila-----and all things Sheila in the past!!! Move on, people.

I did NOT cheer Greenlee and Kendall's reunion because Greenlee has become an UBERBITCH who I can't sympathize with anymore!! She is STILL forgetting that she almost killed Spike and was forgiven for that. After almost killing someone's child, it's kinda silly for you to get mad about something that happened while everyone thought you were DEAD. Erica told her to GROW UP, and for once, I forgot how ironic it was for Erica to be telling ANYONE to grow up---follow thy's own advice, Ms. Kane.....(LOL!) I hope that Kendall tells Greenlee to go to hell, and that maybe the new writers can give Greenlee her sense of humor back so that I can love her again!! Right now, I find it impossible!!!!

Was it just me, or did Julianne's scenes seem too short??? It was truly a "blink and you missed it" moment for me!! I blinked a few times, and I almost missed it!! They should have shown her more, just my opinion. It's not everyday that a star leaves a soap, becomes a movie star and decides to come back 22 years later to show their appreciation to the show. They could have done more than they did.

Ok is it just me or are the writers forgetting that Billy trashed  Vicki and her family in Restless Stlye ,how do you go from losthing and heating someone to having sex with them that`s what I want to know MAB.

Look at Mr Luke! These are great pieces you write. I know your role on the podcast is to play HHIC (head host in charge), but you should really try to make some of these points while you are on. Just a little advice that I hope doesn't offend you or the rest of the hosts.

Jesus take the wheel at Y&R. Poor Tracey Bregman.

Days is surprisingly good lately.

Loved ATWT this week. If the show had been written like that these past few years then they never would've been cancelled.

On the soap ranking, I'd switch GH & Days. In my opinion, GH has just been better TV lately.

you and I watched two different ATWT this week Luke.....While I loved the Bob/Kim stuff...the rest of the week was pretty average...I too wished JM had a bit more screen time, she was on for like two minutes...they were wonderful minutes though...the show was still good....but GH rocked the entire week for me so I would totally rank it above ATWT...

oh...I really hope Luke and the Doctor (totally can't remember his name) hook up....their sexual chemistry is off the charts and it's the first time I've enjoyed Luke's storyline in a LONG time...

I love these articles Luke...I hope you continue them!!!!!

Totally agree about Days.  It was on fire last week.  The Stefano/EJ scenese were riveting.   Loving the new Will.   The character finally has an edge that he was always missing.  If only Lucas was still around as well to interact with.  I wouldn't be surprised if Will were the one to learn that Ej is the kidnapper once he moves in to the Dimera mansion and can snoop around.

 A woman in a box, a blonde running around yelling about babies, multiple dream sequences, cages, dopplegangers, masks and a  who done it.

- I guess I am no longer mourning Passions.

LOL daytimefan0001!

Y&R is a mess.

B&B is a bore though.

I too DO NOT cheer Kendall and Greenlee reunion or see them as friends.   When Kendall is around Greenlee she becomes someone I don't like.  No friend should make you feel like you always have to apologize and in Greenlee's world Kendall is there to serve her but you never see Greenlee doing anything  for Kendall.  It's such a one sided friendship.   Also, Greenlee only plays the bitch and it's getting old.  There has been no growth in this character at all.   It's one thing to play a bitch but you should also want to make the audience feel some type of sympathy for you and, frankly, I don't thing Rebecca brings any of that to the screen.

I rank GH as the top soap of the week.  What incredible performances by the entire cast especially the Davis girls.

I also found myself rooting for Stefano on Days.  Who'd have thought but there you saw how a villian can make you root for him when it's done right.  Good job Days.

Can't believe Y&R is doing another double.  ENOUGH ALREADY.  The problem with Billy Miller is he has chemistry with EVERYONE so I don't know who I want to see him with.

 Y&R:  In a way I suppose its appropriate for Tracey Bregman to get a shot at portraying Sheila after all the time she has spent playing opposite various versions of the character.
It just occurred to me that the Victoria/Billy duo was, once upon a time, portrayed by acting siblings, which would have complicated things if the story had taken this turn back then.

Two Face/Off stories at the same time? Y&R shame on you! We are supposed to believe that all these women are the exact same height, weight and have the same voice and body chemistry (smell)? Or can all those factors be surgically altered as well? And let's face it, if you can afford all that surgery, why seek revenge, you can't be in dire straits!

I disagreed with Jamey about the Billy (Billy Miller) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle), his new favorite Y&R couple. I get the appeal of a Romeo and Juliet type romance, but at this point I’m more in enamored with the idea of a Newman and an Abbott spawn– not this specific pairing–falling in love with each other and the build up to their families finding out. Heinle’s acting certainly hasn’t improved, even opposite the amazingly talented Miller.

I am so agreeing with that statement. Pairing awful Amelia with fabulous Billy is only doing one thing ---- Showing that Amelia can't act. And she is bringing down Billy Miller. What I would give if Y&R get rid of Amelia --- Jeez, I can't watch scenes with Billy Miller anymore. Love him, but I can't watch him anymore.

I think Daytime Confidential should do a soap of the week poll every week where readers can vote for the soap they like best

I didn't think Y&R could get any worse but Maria, Hogan and Scott did it. I am DONE...I've deleted Y&R from my TiVo schedule...Damn I am even contemplating replacing Y&R with AMC...NOT!!!!

LOL @ d_andre, I was just going to post that I just deleted Y&R off my DVR last night. (I'll come back, but not until this mess is over with.) Right now, there isn't a single story I care about. That's pretty sad.

Y&R is the stupidiest show on air right now. The MamaBore storyline is dumb as hell.

Y AND R LOST 128,000 VIEWERS LAST WEEK AND I WONDER WHY!
 

I see that the general consensus is that Y and R has gone to hell in a handbag.  I have to agree.  It is just too bad that the people in charge at Y and R do not read this and everything else about how bad this show has gotten.  This recycled BS is just so boring.  None of it makes sense to me and I have watched this show forever.  I can begin to believe this crazy story involving Lauren,  Sheila,  Tom, and two idiotic twins that no way in hell were sired by S and T over 20 years ago.  Just one sample of a completely unrealistic story.  This show has gotten just absolutely AWFUL.

I SEE THAT Y AND R LOST 128,000 VIEWERS LAST WEEK AND I WAS WONDERING WHY?  HA.

For AMC, I cheered Kendall; Greenlee and Greenlee's attitude about an ACCIDENT, not so much.

It was good to see Alicia Minshew back on screen and I'm eagerly waiting her and Kendall's permanent return. That's all I got.
