What did you watch?

After a visit from a contractor neighbor, in which we 100% determined that the leak affecting both of our places was from the unit above mine, and not from my unit, I mostly plugged away at work stuff (getting ready for Fall semester already!) pretty much all day (yeah, I took breaks, but it was pretty steady all day!!).
So, all I got through were soaps, and the new flick on LMN.
soaps: B&B (live!) - Luna's aunt rakes Luna's mother over the coals when the mom publicly (and repeatedly!) says that she's glad Luna is dead! (I can definitely see the heartless EVOL! mom's point on this!) Meanwhile, BitchFace Steffy blames Bill Spencer for Liam getting shot.
    I skipped "live" Y&R as I am still catching up on episodes (see below).
    I saw bit of "live" "Beyond the Gates", but not enough to comment.
    Y&R - On Pee+, I watched, I think Tue's and Wed's ep's of Y&R. One was weighed down with Danny Romalotti + Cricket(!) stuff. The other was stuff with Filis[sic!] and Cane in France, and then Sharon tries to pump Filis[sic!] for info to see if she's sold all of the dumb Newmans out to Cane. Also, Chelsea comforts Victoria who is grieving over Cole's death.
Sidenote: Over the past few weeks, they've shown 40 year old flashbacks of Hope (Kristian Alfonso) on DOOL, and Danny (Michael Damian) and Cricket (Lauralee Bell) on Y&R, and I was struck by how Damian sounds pretty much *exactly* the same as he did 40 years ago! Bell sounds mostly the same (though her voice is less "girly" 40 years later), but Alfonso sounds *nothing* like she did 40 years ago!! I'm going to guess Alfonso was/is a smoker, because you cannot tell that her speaking voice 40 of years ago and her speaking voice now are even the same person!
Taste of His Own Poison (LMN) - New LMN flick.
    This one was full of twists and turns, but I anticipated nearly all of these, including the identity of the final ("boss"?!) villain at the end.
    Gist: Nerdy teen boy (Nolen Dubec) is persistently bullied by the HS's meathead (Dylan Kingwell) with only his petite bestie (Juliette Hawk, who is becoming ubiquitous in Lifetime/LMN flicks lately - Hawk has another TV flick premiering just tonight!!) to defend him.
    Soon enough, the meathead bully is poisoned after stealing and eating the nerd's sandwich. So the cops immediately suspect the nerd is the killer. Nerd's mom (Rhonda Dent, another Lifetime semi-regular) and her estranged husband (Jonathan Hawley Purvis) now have to try to keep their son out of prison, for a crime he didn't commit(?! or did he??!!...). And of course, the bully's mom (Alana Hawley Purvis - she's becoming as ubiquitous on Lifetime/LMN as Hawk: she is also in the new TV flick premiering tonight!!) is all up in this too!
    This was OK, but I certainly wouldn't rate it as among the better LMN flicks of the past few years...
