take a bow

Great acting on the parts of Greg Rikaart and Adrienne Frantz these days.

Adrienne was fabulous when she turned on the light in the closet and saw Clint's dead body beside her. I admit to ff'ing through a LOT of the earlier Kevin/Amber stuff, but the last few days have been pretty good.

And also great acting on the part of Jess Walton, when "Katherine" reamed her out at the diner. The look on her face when she realized "Marge" was really her mother was not to be missed.

favorite line of the day

Jill to Victor: "You expect me to dig up my mother's grave?"

Victor: "You don't have to do the digging yourself."

incredibly egotistical line, Victor

Victor to Ashley, after she asked him to help Adam: "But you know I had no one to help me. I did it all on my own."

Unfrickingbelievable.

incredibly stupid line, Ashley

Ashley to Victor, about Adam's upbringing: "You weren't there to teach him loyalty and courage, like you did with Nick."

BWAHAHAHA!

grrrrreat line, Phyllis!

Phyllis to Sharon: "You can't feel the air under your feet, but you can feel the mattress under your back."

LOL!

write right, will ya?

I keep hearing that Y&R has great storylines these days, and I have to disagree.

Two cases in point: the Katherine/Clint thing has pretty much been lifted from the past and Gloria's jail plot line came to the most boring, predictable end you could imagine. Did it surprise ANYONE that Heather lost in court? Hardly.

I think some of their story lines START out good, but go nowhere. Or just disappear. For instance, where is Michael Gross? They made a HUGE deal about him joining the cast of Y&R, bored us with some AWFUL 60's drivel and suddenly, he's gone. As with the last set of writers, they start too ambitiously, then put put too many stories on the back burner. It reminds me of a writer who has a good idea, then thinks, "no wait! this is better! oh, wait! this is even better!" over and over and over....
