    Y&R July 2019 Discussion Thread

    in Discuss The Soaps: Archive (2018 - 2020)

    Posted · Edited by Vee

    They're not about the soaps. They're trolling. And it's not enough bc they overrun the board with multiple accounts designed to incite chaos, and some people are always stupid enough to keep responding to the bait and clogging threads.

     

    If you don't have a problem with it, you're in the minority. You don't have to agree, but you have to respect people's feelings about the issue as opposed to pretending this is simply another difference of taste about a soap. Because believe it or not, no one is particularly interested in your attempts to make yourself the vocal outsider in literally every single discussion topic.

    @Errol - can we please ban this troll's IP address? 

     

    IIRC the claim was J*NNY keeps changing IPs. That and/or he has an admirer who picked up part of the game. IMO it is two people at most. It's got to stop and they have to be banned. In the meantime all we can do is block and ignore. But that's not an excuse to not ban them or moderate them. I know Errol's been working very hard to try to upgrade the board, but stricter control over this is desperately needed. There is a reason the troll feels emboldened now after almost a year of banishment. There's at least 5-7 of these.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Well, these are only the first returns confirmations at the moment, but I'd be very surprised if she and the rest don't either in the first season or the second (it's planned to run three years). LeVar Burton said recently he was fairly sure he would at some point.


    I always wanted Picard and Crusher to get together properly. I know the producers nixed it in the final seasons of TNG, and there was an inexplicable push to pair him off with new women in the films (though they sadly nixed his kiss with Alfre Woodard in First Contact - they were great together). In the TNG books they married and had a son. I hope there is a nod to their relationship, as in the series finale it was said they married (and divorced) in a possible future.

    Y&R: Traci & Cane...Really??!!

    in Discuss The Soaps: Archive (2018 - 2020)

    You'd think he'd be shrewd enough after this many years in daytime to realize Traci (as well as being a beloved character with a rich history) is one of a number of audience surrogates in soaps, and lean into it as I assume Don Diamont and Michael Damian, etc. did before him. Certain studs are positioned as dream figures for the viewer.

    Goddard should watch himself. When Kristoff (RIP) was alive and his friend it was one thing, but Y&R is a snakepit of egos and people on that show go back with Beth Maitland a long, long way, to say nothing of the fans.

     

    He has snaked his way out of any good story he's been given that would make him more than Lily's man, the role he is most comfortable with and most useless in. So kill him.

    I wonder if Billy Miller might be the new Chance on Y&R. It would be risky firing Jason Thompson who has become popular in the role

     

    I like JT and thought Miller was wildly overrated at Y&R, but I don't think he's anywhere near as successful in the role as Miller was. He has a small fanbase with the GT fans there IMO and that's it.

    No one is saying anything about not liking it But you are making it seem just because they work mostly in VG now that they would never do daytime again & I do not buy that.

     

    Other actors in games, sure. Those two? Nope. Nolan North is a household name with a ton of young folks because of gaming and is pitched as such at major industry events. Brian Bloom, again, has never been hard up enough to return to soaps (and there's times I've hoped he would), even in his worst years. These days he has a similar career to North, who was never as famous outside games as Bloom was to begin with. And Bloom also has substantial film industry connections with big directors. So no, he definitely won't be back.

     

    And if by some miracle either of them were to appear they wouldn't do it as Drew, the stopgap character absolutely no one at GH cares about.

    yes, because I'm sure NN's beating away offers with a stick. lmao 🤦‍♂️

     

    Actually, he is. The dude is the king of video game work. May sound silly to you and it is, but he works on million dollar game after million dollar game and has far more public recognition from games like Uncharted now than 90% of the current breed of soap stars. You don't have to like it, but it's true. It's why North made it clear a few years ago (at a game event) that he hated his time on soaps and would never go back.

     

    I love this medium, but I'm also honest. North is now too well-ensconced in his current industry to come back. Brian Bloom, who has never been desperate enough to come back anyway, is also doing pretty well for himself there and elsewhere.

    Well, for one it hasn't stopped Nolan North from never coming back - video game/voice work pays at their level, and North and Bloom are very prolific. Second, Bloom and his family do well elsewhere. He also is tied to several prominent directors like Joe Carnahan and is often involved in their films, including being a co-writer on The A-Team, of all things. Point is, no, he won't be back.

    John, Brian Bloom's career is in decent shape; he has absolutely no reason to come back to the dying soaps and play no-hope Drew who the show does not care about. Every single member of that immediate family should be removed from the canvas, much like Oscar, who let's not forget is worm meat.

    Terminator: Dark Fate

    Seeing as the test screening leaks indicate

    kid John is gunned down by a Terminator not long after T2, and that the young boy cast as him is a body double for the tween Edward Furlong, my assumption is Furlong's 'return' is just CGI facial mapping of his younger self.
