Members ranger1rg Posted February 8, 2017 Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 Panties in a knot? Uh...I think that would be you. You make some good points, but every one of those is surrounded by 3 eye rollers. You enjoy being clever, though, so have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 How long ago was that taken? I see Tamara Tunie (ATWT), I think I see Angell Conwell. I see Tonya Lee Williams. Hmm, interesting. I'm going to keep my thoughts about this to myself for now and just say, 'Gee, interesting photo'. It even looks as though they got Phil Morris in there. Boy, they really brought in several characters (and their portrayers) from out of the margins. I guess they didn't want to be accused of being #CBSSoWhite.

Members Faulkner Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm not enjoying the show right now either, but I'm willing to hang in there to see where things go. It's not that the show is slow as much as the canvas is just so *weak* and uninspired right now. There are far too many nothing characters and charisma-free, listless actors hogging airtime. This is a show that has had vibrant characters like Dru, Olivia, Mamie, HT's Victoria, AD's Diane, Jill, Katherine, Nikki, and Nina. They were played by captivating actors. I was excited to watch these characters, even if they weren't in brilliant, front burner stories. They were bold and indelible. I just liked spending time with them, seeing what they'd do or say next even in small scenes. Just watching Diane and Nikki spar was a thing of wonder. I'm just not excited by Nick, Sharon, AH's energy-free Victoria and her kids, Billy (who is being damaged with every recast), Cane, Lily, and Jack. I want to like Devon and Hillary, but they are a one-note snooze. Ashley and Ravi just feel like filler. I need Michael and Lauren to find some of their '80s/'90s ruthlessness again. I need GT's Phyllis to be sexier and more cutthroat. The less said about Chelsea, Chloe, Kevin, and Abby the better, but Sally doesn't seem that interested in them. Mariah could be a fun sarcastic, ballsy heroine, but she's being written like some beleaguered '90s working girl sitcom character. I just don't care about the show or these characters right now. But this show has been so thoroughly gutted in the past decade that it would be near miraculous for Sally to salvage it. But who else could do it? She's our last shot.

Members ChitHappens Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 Amen @Faulkner! The writing is dull with no stories and there are way too many uninspiring characters. Jack & Hill in scenes together is pretty much the only thing I look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 If only they were asked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 Kimberlin should not be asked back. Present day writers need to create their own modern day "Sheila". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranger1rg Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 I agree with a couple of your comments, but not most. I do understand where you're coming from, though. What I do have a problem with is your overall tone, which casts a gloomy pall over the entire show. It feels like you're at a funeral, describing the last sad months of someone's life. I simply don't think that's a fair assessment, and I don't think it's a correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 So you are finding Nick, AH Victoria, Cane, Lily, Gloria and Jack exciting must see tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted February 9, 2017 Members Share Posted February 9, 2017 So I either have to accept them as "exciting must see tv" or not??? Without explanation or nuance??? Forget it. I'm not answering biased questions that give you the answer you want. I know you pretty much hate everything on Y&R, and I'm not playing that game.
