I don't know. They're probably both bottoms. I mean, Steffy.

Yeah, something is not right. I keep thinking back to when $Bill was with Sheila.

According to Google, Luna was the most popular girl dog name of 2023. Either some dope is giving the new characters pet names, or they are making a statement about the characters by giving them girl dog names. I wonder which? Neither choice is really a great option.

What I did get a kick out of was seeing "Finn" and "Sheila" sitting next to each other at the awards show. I think seating arrangements like that are intentional. And humorous.

Well, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins is estimated to have between 57 and 75 illegitimate children, 33 of which have been identified. $Bill has some catching up to do. I just don't think that the Ploppy character and $Bill are a good fit period. And this new insta happy family is just nonsense. Your idea about Liam sounds like it would be interesting. And Wyatt sure needs to come back to town for this and have some opinion and feelings himself. And so does little Will, at least for the summer while school is out. So far there hasn't been anything interesting about this story line. And seriously, calling a woman "Poppy"? That was my grandfather's name and basically the name of everyone I've ever known's grandfather. Poppy = Grampy, Gramps, Grandfather, Granddad, Peepaw, etc. That would be interesting. I was thinking that it was Hope's fantasy since everything in it was focused on her. And it was out of the blue behavior for Finn. All we've seen from Finn is him loving his wife and him being a caring friend to Hope. He hasn't shown us anything yet that would make that scene a believable event.

They need to take some mints.

Darnit. I was looking forward to JMW taking a pregnancy leave. I already had forgotten about that Ivy blink and you miss it return.

See, I was hoping Cole would give Victor the Trask treatment.

That is such a perfect description. He just needs tights and a lute. Wasn't Bill heir to the throne of the empire that his father built?

He's at it again!

Ugh. I know. I thought they dropped it. I don't know when JMW told them she was preggers in relation to their shooting schedule, but maybe they had dropped this dog of a storyline and then panicked with her news and revived this crummy story line to fill the void while they rewrite hers. I honestly can't think of anything that would make me interested in it.

That whole scene was awful. And how tacky was Ploppy with her, "I had him first"? Bill said he and Ploppy knew each other about 20 years ago, which we all know should be longer ago than that, but I had to check to see when he first married Katie and that was 15 years ago. BTW, Will was born in 2012, so he should actually be 12 now.

Oh, man, I wish! Sheila owning the rival fashion house? It's just what this show needs! That would be too good to be true! And of course Sheila could lure Thomas back as head designer. Shades of when Ridge slicked back his hair and was working at Spectra. Delicious! Let the fashion espionage and fashion showdowns begin! Now, whatever really happens will be nothing short of a major disappointment.

Y&R prides itself on its realism.

As if Johnny finding out about Conner wasn't bad enough.

When I saw those witch finger cookies, I thought, wait a minute - it's not Halloween. Those are all Halloween staples now. Even Martha Stewart makes them. The pendulum has swung so far in her favor that I am fully expecting it to swing just as far in the opposite direction. However, I have to agree with what RunTheTable said, if Sheila being happy ruins Stuffy's day, then yeah! I am surprised that they've given Sheila so much, but I don't expect it to last. Those previews... ugh. I had hoped that they dropped that Ploppy and $Bill nonsense. It only made him look bad. And then Stuffy being the mean girl to Hope, I guess that's why Thomas will return, to save HFTF. Of course there's always the possibility that now that Hope and Sheila are family it could trigger Sheila.

That was the most befuddled I have ever seen Finn look!

So that's why she dropped that water bottle about a year ago.

Key word. I am hoping that one day, in the very distant future, Finn finds his inner Sheila. I'm betting on the long game, like Bell Sr would have given us. Although Hayes is really the one to watch out for.

I hadn't thought about that but with the impending return of Thomas, it would be nice for this dismal story line to fade away. That's our Eric! I see that, too, when he talks about her. Ugh. I had hoped that they ditched that dull unwanted story line. If it comes back my vote is for the invisible Jack. Has anyone seen or heard from him since the Sheila affair reveal? Did Li banish him into the cornfield?

OMG, I forgot about her first son who faked his death for like 30-40 years before returning and then turned around and left again. Yeah, he surely doesn't now nor ever did have his mother on his mind. I was only referring to her second one. Which I think she'd like to forget. I know I would.

Okay. And remember, you asked for it. Yeah, so like I said, I hope it's fake news.

Back in the days of yore and VCR's, I'd often get bored with the show and stop watching and just check back in every few months to see if Sheila was back. She is the reason I watch. I did become invested in the show in between her times on it later because it has become more like a spoof of a soap and is such a hoot. But yeah, I have to agree that she is a ratings draw.

Her hair wasn't even dry from her first shower in days, weeks? I don't even know how much time has passed. I read an awful spoiler about Thomas' return. Just horrible. But it disappeared so it may have been phony. I'm hoping.

I chose Jill because Mother's Day is just a reminder of her son and I don't think anyone deserves that. Hopefully this was worded diplomatically enough so that it is not taken down. I almost chose Lauren because we never hear mention of Scotty or Fenn any more. But maybe they sent flowers?
