Top 10 Hits
It was a good week on daytime television. So good, we’re devoting an entire top ten to hits.
10. Amanda and Phyllis’ friendship rejuvenated (Y&R). Amanda’s return to Genoa City has been brutal. The Winters group was relentless with their questions and demands. Even Phyllis’ (Michelle Stafford) and Amanda’s conversation veered toward the Dumas of it all. But first, their reunion was great. Phyllis needs someone new to talk to in town. We vote for Amanda (Mishael Morgan), who’s wonderfully direct with her friend but in a supportive way.
9. Kat’s investigation uncovers another piece of the puzzle (BTG). Kat (Colby Muhammad) figured out that Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) was the one to talk to at the hospital. She now knows there was a strange woman who was very curious about Laura (Destiny Love). This could lead her and Jacob (Jibre Hordges) to find security footage of another one of Leslie’s alter egos. Kat should really do this for a living.

8. Carter shuts Daphne down (B&B). After Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) reunited, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) wouldn’t believe that Carter misunderstood the meaning behind what he overheard Hope say. Daphne insisted that Hope wanted Liam (Scott Clifton) and not Carter, and he needed to realize that. Carter stayed strong and told her he was sorry that he hurt her, but his future was with Hope.7. Nina and Carly’s catfight (GH). The Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Carly (Laura Wright) catfight was years in the making, and it lived up to the hype. If only Joss (Eden McCoy) hadn’t cut it short. Most of Carly’s arguments made sense, but she lost us when judging Nina’s parenting skills.
6. John is once again a hero (DAYS). The actual story involving Versivex and some meth lab/warehouse is convoluted, but at the heart of it all, it’s about John going out a hero. The emotion was still there as “John” opened his hand, which held a single dose of the miracle drug that could save Bo (Peter Reckell). He also protected the rest of the Versivex while also being severely injured. Drake Hogestyn’s “That’s the fact” also hit us hard. We’re already feeling very emotional.
5. Michael quits as Victor’s lawyer/sidekick/punching bag (Y&R). Michael (Christian LeBlanc) should have done this a long time ago. Victor (Eric Braeden) talks about loyalty, but he will turn his back on Michael if he goes against him. So we loved this conversation, even though we would have loved it more if Victor had let his friend go warmly and respectfully. But the drama between these two was tense, and Michael stuck to his guns and quit. We’re proud of him.4. Steffy invites Hope to return to Forrester (B&B). Sure, it took a dying Liam to make this happen, but Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Hope ending the drama between them (for now) was very welcome. Steffy dropped her anger, and Hope acknowledged that Carter’s takeover plan was not the way to go. This detente probably won’t last. Hopefully, it’ll last longer than Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor’s did when Krista Allen played the psychiatrist.
3. Chelsea comes out to Dani (BTG). This moment was unexpected because Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) likes to think she doesn’t need her mom anymore. And she also thinks that Dani (Karla Mosley) only thinks about herself, which isn’t true. But when her heart broke and she walked in on Dani kissing Pamela (Cady McClain), she lashed out at her mom…and then came out to her. And it ended up being a truly supportive, heartfelt moment where Dani acknowledged she accepted her daughter for who she is and whoever she wants to love. It was a great moment between mother and daughter.
