Just wanted to say Rory that played Noah is now on GH and he looked so hot! He is playing Michael who was badly burned, Chad Duel did a great job, but now Rory took over and he must have burns over his body because his face was perfect!
I haven’t seen all episodes of the week yet. I looked at the photos of the week, and I noticed Audra’s lunch is on a frisbee.
I love Michael! I came to know him after he had been rehabilitated from his tainted past and I have only known him as a stand up and loyal guy. Lately, he has allowed himself to cross the line legally and ethically and I didn’t like it at all. Kyle has not been the only one with the devil or angel on the shoulder trying to call the shots dilemma. I’m thrilled that he is leaving Victor’s employ and influence. They also gave us a great showdown finale.
Like Victor said Michael has done this before. After a while Michael will be back to work for Victor. He is his right-hand man, and he can’t help himself, even f he has to hide it from Lauren.
You’re probably right because I don’t know what other professional storyline is right for Michael. Maybe, the result will be that he will stand up to Victor more often and be less shady with the legal ethics.
Unlike some chatters, I did appreciate the Valentine~ish date night for the married couples. The business sabotage story is stale and I liked the return to romance. As usual, the beautiful clothes, music, and flowers were perfect and the special attention to those details kept me engaged and entertained. For me, the flowers always catch my eye and they were over the top gorgeous but this time the jazz club styled music was subtly used in every scene to personalize the love stories of our beloved characters. I think Jack and Diane wore it best, Michael and Lauren have the… Read more »
What a disappointment that Cole is dying after all. Y&R had me fooled at the beginning of the episode. When Ali mentioned last week that maybe it was to buy time for his character, I thought that maybe this was true. I thought it was possible that the show wanted to see how fans would react if they thought Cole was dying. I was hoping that when fans were not happy, his character was being killed off, they decided to keep him on. Apparently, this was wishful thinking! Very sad. This is a waste of a good legacy character who… Read more »
Cole is a good character. Looks like Amy will make a perfect recovery and Cole will die instead. Sorry to see him go. I thought he was ok when he came out of is room, but his subtle faltering, weakness changed everything, Yep, he’s dying. I hope it turns out to be a mystery illness that will affect others around him that would be interesting
Oh no! It looks like I spoke too soon. I wrote this comment before I finished watching the entire episode. It appears that Cole is hiding the truth. He is not well. I am disappointed all over again. I was wondering why his test results were not revealed. Victoria never even asked him? Now it makes sense. The test results show he is dying. This is a waste of a good character.
I look forward to Kyle and Audra’s affair that is seemingly in the works. Ali was mentioning she is on board for it as well. I prefer Kyle as the bad boy rather than the tame married family guy. This storyline feels like it fits his character. The rich, arrogant kid, living the high life, that will give in to his temptations when the opportunity arises. This also fits Audra’s character as well. She doesn’t seem like the committed type that is going to stick with one guy for very long. The sparks are going to fly when these two… Read more »
I don’t like that Victor is behind this. Kyle and Audra were done; they would not do it if it wasn’t Victor controlling the whole thing. So sick of Victor and his vendetta with the Abbotts, time to end it!
I am usually a fan of Sharon’s clothing, but I can’t say I am a fan of Sharon’s dress this week. It was not flattering by any means. I thought it looked very matronly on her. Far too much material as well. Whoever was in charge didn’t do a good job with Sharon’s attire. If Sharon wants to grab Nick’s attention and feels threatened by Phyllis, that dress ain’t the way to do it! Phyllis knows about showing a little cleavage; Sharon could take some lessons from her!
Billy and Sally are wasting food. They just left the healthy breakfast food they were eating at the Athletic Club! Didn’t their parents teach them to value food by reminding them that there are starving kids in the world? Just sayin.. lol
Victor tells Michael that family does not abandon family! And he tells Nikki not to mention Michael Baldwin’s name again! For the viewers who are often angry at Victor; could you not tell that he seems really hurt by Michael’s abandonment of him? It has always been a mutual caring and respect between the two of them. And the two of them have always felt like family! Victor, of course, seems to always be the “man in charge”. And similar to a parent that tells you they only want the best for you and will always look out for you;… Read more »
Victor was acting like the petulant father who wasn’t getting his way. He was also a bit manipulative about it. At the beginning. I thought Victor was going to take it well. But then, he told Michael he would make it impossible for him to leave. I see it differently than Michael abandoning Victor. Michael just doesn’t want all the baggage which goes with working for Victor. Michael loves Victor and would like to remain in his life. He just does not want to do the man’s bidding.
Why was Jack in on the conversation today between Nikki and Lauren?
To kill two birds with one stone: Victor can peel Amanda away from Aristotle Dumas and leave the Winters family to solve that mystery. The second part of that is to have Victor enlist Amanda as his new attorney! She is equally, if not more, brilliant than Michael. And she can be completely secretive when she needs to maintain someone’s confidence, solely Victor’s.
I don’t really know Amanda’s character, but my feeling is that she would not be involved with kidnapping someone at gunpoint, take him to Victor’s to be interrogated, and then killed.
She wouldn’t make it in Victor’s world.
I would appreciate any of our Chatters to help me remember why Michael is suddenly so close to Jack and Diane. I know he has been friends off and on with Diane for years; but I’m not remembering that he is so close to both Jack and Diane. And, of course, for years he has had a contentious relationship with Victor. For Ex: feeling like Victor is his “father figure”, and also being completely angry with Victor! So for Michael to sympathize with Jack/Diane instead of Victor seems odd to me. (I want to add that the scenes on Friday… Read more »
Michael is experiencing a change in character. He’s acting like Gig Young’s character in “That Touch of Mink” saying he’s going to tell offCary Grant’s character Mr. Shayne.
Thanks so much for that great movie reference! I’ve seen the movie at least ten times; hard to resist watching two handsome older actors! And perfect analysis of Michael’s change in character! You made that scene even more enjoyable for me! Thanks!
In the previews for next week, I bet that elaborate party planning means Cole collapses at the birthday party.
Kyle opening up to his mom about his shoulder angel and devil was very revealing. Well written and well acted. I couldn’t look away.
