- Cane...wait, who is this again?

- Ashley says "Jackie" for the 4,589th time this year

Has anyone seen Tracey E. Bregman in a 30-minute infomercial for some skin-tightening cream called Sub-D? I guess Courtney Thorne-Smith (Melrose Place) is considered the "star" of it but TEB is right there too. (And with the same hair we see on Lauren...yikes.) Maybe that's the reason why Lauren's chest was so shiny last week; TEB may be doing product placement. That stuff could be making her boobs swell up too, hah, hah.

[Petunia13]

Yes I thought it was her. I always go to work before 4 am & once a wk from midnight on and the bar and various shops in my grocery store run their wall tvs all night so it has played while I fuss w displays or paperwork. 

The it cosmetics infomercials (diff but similar concept) must be the reason my mom asked for it which I got multiple items from Sephora and she never used or opened (sigh).....It seems sketch and the fact that if you don't buy it from Sephora you must be on a monthly automatic service/like proactive is suspect IMHO.

Episode dates for Jess Webb who plays "Alex Dettmer" are January 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19

It looks like Dylan has 5 episodes left.

[Gam2]

Yikes, that's one scary photograph!

[BoffoDaWonderSheep]

Maybe that pic is Dylan in his Miami disguise?

[Gam2]

Ha! I hope not.

Tracey Bregman's father, a composer and producer, passed away.

[PatsyandEddie]

Poor Tracey! Losing a parent at any age is rough and losing them to Alzheimer's is like losing them twice. 

[MotherInLaw]

I didn't read the SOD article about Muhney and the online petition to bring him back.  Any chance of that happening?

[LeftPhalange]

There's an online petition to bring him back? His stans are acting up.

[Gam2]

After watching my mom fade away over 8 1/2 years suffering from Alzheimer's disease, I offer my sympathies and prayers for healing to Tracy. Not only did my mom suffer, my sisters and our families suffered even more. Mom hardly knew where she was, who she was or who we were for the last 4 years of her life. God rest her soul. And Tracy's dad's soul. God Bless all of them.

I hope not. Adam needed a good, long break well before Muhney was sacked and he's too much of a drama king liability. If TIIC want to put up with that for ratings, they'd be better off inviting Victoria Roswell back to the show and having Drupal slap all her idiot family upside their idiot heads and read Cane for filth after finding out all the crap he's put her daughter through.

His feelings are clearly hurt. Lol. He wanted Chick so bad but apparently the fans...not so much. The problem is JM has been catered to way too much as an actor. That's why Nick is so hateful. He gets away with everything and is still a whiny bitch.

 

On January 2, 2017 at 6:05 PM, Anna Yolei said:

It's one thing to speak up for your character and voice objections and another thing entirely to think you can dictate every single story. JM's refusal to look like a bad guy completely ruined the Summer paternity story IMO.

If SSM is as fond of JM as the previous writing regimes, how long before she makes Nick Christian's biological father? 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Some think MM was involved in the whole petition thing. I think it has already been sent or delivered to TPTB and promptly trashbinned. Read on another soap board that he was begging, er, campaigning hard to get the role back once JH left and the new regime came in. I don't see it happening unless both HK and EB drop off the face of the earth. Besides, they pretty much transferred Adam's personality to Billy.

IMO it'd be a miracle if VR was allowed to return. She hasn't just burned her Y&R/CBS bridges, she's nuked them and then salted the ground. Maybe on Y&R's final episode after it's been cancelled...

[miamama]

Max Page, the little guy who played Reed, has developed endocarditis. His family has asked for good thoughts. He's getting IV antibiotics so hopefully they work. Poor kid. He's had a dozen heart surgeries and he's just 11. Sigh. I think he had an artificial valve put in last year so this can happen.

[PatsyandEddie]

Aww shit! Max is such a sweetheart! CBC was talking about Super Bowl ads last week and played his Darth Vader one repeatedly. ?I hope he recovers completely. 

[jewel21]

Aww, I hope he pulls through. I adore him so much.

Thompson's performance let viewers know how even though Billy loved Jack, he couldn't resist his feelings for Phyllis, and you ended up feeling bad for the guy!

LMAOO. This is the EXACT opposite of what JT was performing. But give that man an Emmy, sure! I cry.

Have we fallen through the Looking Glass???? Seriously. Who SAW THAT????? I mean I get that's what we should have seen. But we DID NOT.

Update on Max Page from his Twitter is he's doing well and has a couple more weeks of antibiotics ahead of him but he's recovering well. :)

I can't stop laughing. Billy was a complete sociopathic shit to Jack and followed Phyllis around to convince her to screw him and leave Jack. What was everyone else watching? Was Sweet Poor Billy on another feed?

I think the person who wrote this article did not actually watch and just read summaries and so ASSUMED that Billy would of course be wracked with guilt and that was actually the emotional story -- a man grappling with love for his brother and desire for his brother's wife. LMAO.

[NinjaPenguins]

There are people still writing in to SID to whine about missing Philly's beautiful love story and amazing chemistry. Mind you, those comments are often sandwiched between ones that laud Nick and his mad fathering skillz. 

[peacheslatour]

Fake. They have to be, please.

[Capricasix]

And Sicario, too!

[Joimiaroxeu]

So instead of bringing back Shemar Moore as the resident photographer, they're hiring this young man. Spumor is that he's going to be in a triangle with either Lily and Cane or Hilary and Devon but I could see him with Abby (or Reed, in a few years; right now he'd be probably be jail bait) given how specific they were about the taller height. He's not exactly hard on the eyes.

Re Sicario, I walked out of that movie in a daze. What a great film. Not sure I like the idea that they're doing a sequel though.

Edited January 17, 2017 by Joimiaroxeu

[peacheslatour]

^^I think Shemar probably has better things to do. I think the only reason he came back for that limited run was because he was still under contract to CBS. He's been doing some directing and a lot of voice overs.

[Anna Yolei]

YAAAAAAAAAAAS ?

I'm down with more eye candy. And if he can act, all the better.

Who is she?

Writer, I don't know how good.  I think she worked on AMC during the Pratt years, which isn't good.  

[KnotsLanding]

Sara Bibel is from the old Jack Smith/Kay Alden team. She's a younger writer who worked her way up and eventually won an Emmy with them at some point. Of course when Lynn Latham came on she was fired and went to AMC briefly but didn't last. She's really good and I'm happy Sussman is finally working on the script writers and found somebody within the family to bring back. I felt like writers like her Janice Esser and Natalie Minardi (who Kay Alden was grooming as her successor) were the future of Y&R had they not fired everyone.

Nope-I'm gonna stick to my original brainspurt that SB wrote and possibly directed this himself.  Is that the 'drug lord in the ill fitting suit' on the floor and SunnyDerek holding a smoking gun?  Poorman'sOddJob gonna get him for that.

The levels of stupid he can manage in 140 characters takes my breath away.

The first tweet -- the "silly" one -- has been deleted. (Hetero privileged white asshole got dragged.)

The one about "Obama peeps kill u" I don't even understand.

Then he says "I'm going to go back to tweeting about sandwiches and sports, lol" 

Yeah, Josh. It's all really funny and light as air.

It's easy to be nice when it's not your genitalia being grabbed and no one's shutting down a program devoted to combating violence against your entire gender. I just am so sick of being lectured on civility by people who are more uncomfortable with protest and confrontation than they are with the injustices being protested. No, we cannot all get along. This isn't a rivalry between fans of different sports teams; there are people in charge who want to usher in a new dark age. Instead of being defensive and pouty because you're displaying privilege induced ignorance and people pointed it out to you, try thinking. I won't tell you to shut up, but you're not entitled to high fives and nods of approval when you put your opinion out there for public consumption.
