They need to "infuse" more drama into their storylines. Most of their stuff is too light. They don't need Prattastrophes, just some good interpersonal drama.

That last scene (shot) of Ravi was a good cliffhanger :D
The problem with the Fenmore's story is that they already know that Jack wants Fenmore's. So when they find out what Gloria's been up to...so what? It would've been better, more surprising if they had no idea that Jack was interested and plotting with Gloria the whole time.
Yes, I thought that's what they'd do when Phyllis accidentally overheard them. What was the point of it if he just went to Lauren and talked about it?

Maybe they decided it would harm Jack's character too much if he did it secretly. :shrug:

well I dont think nuJack is still really mad about his brother.
I think he is just pissed at everyone that he was made a fool during the Marco and then his brother.
That too but he is definitely going after his brother since he failed with the eviction. He plans to dump the exclusive Fenmore's contract and probably push B&S out of the stores.
I thought he thought of the Fenmore acquisition before the eviction failure.
It just doesn't make sense.......because Jabot-Go is outselling B&S because of their online advantage......and since B&S is mostly relying on Brick & Mortar stores, even though they claimed to have online presence. Jabot-Go still has the edge on B&S.
Therefore there is no need for nuJack to acquire Fenmore........Besides what his other plan, acquire every store that carry B&S?
that's just silly.

QueenB was right they really are loosing momentum by not showing Devon/Hevon this week. Can't say I care about them much but from the storytelling perspective it's not a good thing to do.

They said Fennmore's has exclusive contract if I remember correctly.

Right?! They need to follow up on that. It was their big story in the new year and suddenly this week has been all about Lauren and Gloria. I get they need to develop Lauren's story but it's not like anything important is happening there. They could be showing a follow up on Devon and Hilary in the meantime!

Or instead of Nick's big dilemma "how to find a nanny?", for example.

They milked Billy's accident for weeks last year.

Definitely could've cut out most of that Faith crap and put Hevon in. But anyhow, after the amnesia twist *groan* my interest in the story went down a lot but I still kinda miss the Bitchlary drama even if its stupid lol

showing more Hevon......would highlight that 40-Watt is really dim and dense.
Bitchilary is one bitch who dont quit.
I am waiting for her to take 40-Watt to the cleaners......and while taking him to the cleaners......40-Watt realized he didn't really inherit Chancellor money and it was all mistake.
I bet Bitchilary will cut a bitch then.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep"Nikki: It's a text from Nicholas. He and Phyllis are having a surprise birthday party for summer, and we are invited. But only if you promise me you'll be on your best behavior.
Victor: Well, that, I cannot promise, but I will try my hardest."


"Nick: Ah, well, thanks for coming. And, thanks for keeping the peace, too. Getting along with Phyllis."
Remember Blade and his evil twin sleeping with Ashley?
Those soaps... How did they handle the situation? Sources say Ashley was happy with nu"Blad".
Yeah she was! LMAO Just like I think Phyliss was happy with Marco.

Someone said that maybe Eric Forester would come to her rescue. That could happen.
Bearing in mind that I don't watch B&B, but sometimes I forget to change the channel and it comes on while I'm in the bedroom and I can hear it. I thought today that I heard Eric saying he had to catch a plane, I'm wondering if it's to Genoa City. Posted Image

To touch back on villy. The pairing sucked the life out of Billy Miller and he had to do all of the heavy lifting in their scenes. It was cringe worthy to see MAB and Co. doing some weird 'Father Knows Best' inspired stories;that's why Victoria's house looks the way it does. I'm sure BM liked that he got so much screen time because he was ALWAYS fighting with Victor during that,but I always thought he was phoning it in towards the end of his stay on Y&R and I thought part of that had to do with the Villy pairing completely neutering the Billy character.

My favorite Billy pairing was with Lily. I'll give MAB that
The Lily/cane/billy/Chloe quad was good soap ,but I didn't like how in the end they just ended lily/billy and put her back with cane far too fast. Then we got the stupid I'm Phillip, wait no I'm not but did it because I had no family,Oh wait no I have a mom ,dad and twin brother...etc. I think I read the story was cut short and was supposed to have gone on longer. I believe this was when MAB had JScott Hamner pushed out;if rumors were true he was a big lane fan and the OG story was for Lily/Billy to get all the way to engagement before it was revealed Delia was Billy's. To me,lily and Billy in a pairing made sense due to their family history's. The Abbotts and Winters have a connection that goes all the way back to John and Mamie .


And if I'm to be completely honest, EH really does not have romantic chemistry with anyone. The only pairing that worked of hers was when she played Maggie on AMC and they paired her with Eden Riegel's Bianca . EH's Chloe has good friendship chemistry, but lacks in the romantic department.
Omg, billy with lily, how did you remember that, that was sooooo long ago. lol That was when he was on a online dating site as LIAM?
Lol you are correct. He was online as sonny Crawford I believe ,when he first came back he had a crush on lily. Then after Delia was born and after his forced marriage to Chloe and the horrible redo of Bac,he had AH and her hair forced onto him.

What did Griffith do with Lane when he came back in 2012-2013? I can't remember.
If memory serves me right he was there when they were created and that was before MAB . According to one of the reasons he was let go, he was changing MAB'S stories. It's similar to what happened on DAYS where someone altered scripts. At that time both he and MAB worked together but it was speculated one of the things he altered was how the quad story ended. He was a lane fan and that could explain why the story ended so soon and both were just slapped back together with Cane as if nothing had ever happened. They were rushed together and then just removed from that story. It was weird and a shame imo. CK has good chemistry with bothe actors and that could have driven story for years. Granted by then I was off the lane train,and wanted a refund lol ,but still.
No Lane was created in like 2007 or 2008. That's how long this shitty couple has been together. When JG was writing in 2012-2013 that's when he introduced Tyler. Of course that didn't stick though.
I corrected myself on that lol.

JG was there during the lanext creation, he was then gone shortly after MAB took over. I meant Scott Hamner, he was there during the time period I was speaking of.

It's hard to keep track due to the game of musical head writers this show has had in the past ten years.

sounds like the episode maybe a 7/10 on the bore-meter scale.
so far its at an 7.5/10........but
Dylan, Greasy-Dickolas, Faith is bringing it down
spoil ass Faith need to be shipped off to a boarding school now.
When they started to talk about the nanny stuff again, I thought I'll scream but fortunately they stopped in time :blulaugh: .
Laying the groundwork for the Sully reveal... I hope. ;)
