Not only do I visit Llanview daily, I have also been traveling to Genoa City. After reading over and over and over that Y&R is the best soap on earth, I thought I would tune in. Not to mention that the only other person in my office watched it and it would give us something to talk about! So I started watching and now I’m officially hooked. They are the BEST right now. I feel like there’s a cliffhanger every other episode and it leaves me wanting more. More more more! It’s all I can think about after I finish an episode! Here are a few thoughts…
- Baby switch. It took a long time to come out but I’m glad it’s finally out. Now I’m interested to see what’s going to happen with my Phyllis and Nick. Now don’t get me wrong… I don’t love Nick. I love Phyllis. This means that I’m always rooting for her, regardless of who she’s with. I hope she and Nick make it just because that’s what Phyllis wants. She’s an insanely beautiful woman who’s fucking crazy and awesome. I love it. Perfect soap character.
- Emily/Patty switch. Oh God… Please make it stop. You know what makes this storyline so unbearable? The fact that Patty talks to Emily’s portrait. Seriously, Patty? Get a grip. Either you are in it or you aren’t. Pull yourself together if you want this to work. Also, why the FUCK are they making Jack out to be an idiot!? Are you telling me that there are absolutely no physical differences between the two women? All their moles are exactly the same? Patty was in a mental hospital and she has the exact same weight and tone as Emily? Wow. TPTB really think that we (and Jack) are idiots.
- Daisy/Ryder fiasco. Someone please tone Daisy down. She’s supposed to be this insane biatch and totally is but do we really need to see her swishing around so weirdly while she’s doing it? And what’s with the bloody whisper voice? Argh! Speak up woman! And Ryder needs to grow some cojones and free Jana. You can see that he wants to do it… and we all want him to do it. So just do it already.
- Billy and Victoria. Jackpot. I want to see more. I know that many are unhappy with this pairing but I think it’s hot and the actors have chemistry. They have more chemistry than JT and Victoria do (which is weird since the actors are married in real life!)
- Teen scene. Thank you for moving the teens to Paris. So happy about this. If only they’d do it on OLTL…
- Michael and Lauren sabotage. Is it Sheila? Isn’t it Sheila? At least let us see who it is so that we aren’t wondering with M&L! I’d like to do a bit more yelling at the TV if possible. Thanks.
- Kay loses Chancellor. I’m glad we didn’t have to watch much more of the corporate world but I definitely thought that it was a well planned storyline and that it came to an end fairly well. Tucker is a great son for Kay and the recast is AMAZING. I love Stephen Nichols and couldn’t be happier that he’s plastered all over my screen.
- Speaking of Tucker… is it me or does he have hot chemistry with Ashley?!? I thought I might like Ashley and Neil but I totally freaking love her with Tucker. Make it happen Maria Arena Bell. Pretty please!
- Adam. Oh Adam. I LOVE him. I love that he’s a sociopath. I love that he still thinks he can get Sharon back. I love that he’s scheming from his hospital bed. I love that he realized that “Emily” is Patty. I love everything about him… especially that sometimes he’s blind and sometimes he’s not! Haha! I’m so pissed that he’s leaving the canvas because Michael Muhney is hot and I want to see more of him.
Damn, this show has so many little storylines within the big ones that it’s impossible to cover them all. Isn’t that what a soap is supposed to be all about? I LOVE IT! This is what it’s all supposed to be like. Anyway, there’s tons of potential for upcoming stories and strangely, this is one show that I don’t read spoilers. I have NO IDEA what is coming up unless it’s in Soap Opera Digest. Yup. One show that I don’t search for spoilers. Can you believe it!? 
Keep it up Y&R. You’ve converted me!
