Ahhh okay, now we’re talking soap drama essentials!

Jack needling Victor — classic Y&R. These two have been at it for decades, and any time Jack pokes the bear, it’s usually about legacy, business, or pride. Let me guess — is this another Jabot vs. Newman back-and-forth? Or something more personal this time? When Jack starts needling, it’s either out of calculated strategy or pure emotion — either way, it never ends quietly.

Now, Lily and Damian growing closer? Interesting. That sounds like it could be a slow-burn romance or possibly a messy situation waiting to happen (this is Genoa City, after all). Is this new pairing actually working chemistry-wise, or is it giving more “plot device” than passion? And what’s going on with Lily’s past — is this relationship a rebound, a revenge move, or the real deal?

And going back to your first message — are you saying one of these plotlines (maybe Lily’s?) is doing a disservice to the character or to women in general? If so, I’m curious what exactly feels off to you. Tell me more — I’m all ears!
