1215.gif & Newyeardoll3.gif

We starts off the new year with discussion of Y&R....Although it won't be on till Tuesday, I'm posting the discussion this New Year's Day.

What's in store for us this week? Hmmm....Looks like 1796.gif Colleen is once again going to drop the bomb on J.T...um, didn't we see her do this once before already?

Also, Nick will feel Victor's wrath for telling a lie....(doesn't Nick learn from the best when it comes to the lying department?)...Kay confides in a very close friend regarding what she's done in the past? Will this person be able to help her? Paul and Lauren share a close moment (ummm, I don't think it's that folks :P )...

Ole Jack decides that he must keep up the charade and instructs someone to lie to Abby to save his neck..and someone plans for a move to Hong Kong :(

Also, look for Amber to strike up some conversation time with a certain young married Genoa City male ;)

Very good show today!

Lauren and Paul

-Loved those scenes. I thought Paul and Lauren were great together in the past so I wouldn't mind them re-visiting it. I loved how Paul knew something was wrong with Lauren. Tracey Bregman is doing a great job with this story!

Katherine and Nikki

-Love when these two share scenes. Jeanne Cooper wasfabulous today, as was Melody as the supporting friend.

Phelia

-Phew. Atleast it didn't take up too much of the show. Enjoyed that last scene.

All and all a well balanced show to start of the New Year.

I'm already hating the Phyllis as Shelia storyline. :rolleyes: Such contrived b.s.

But I loved Lauren and Paul, felt like vintage Y&R for a few moments there. I love seeing Tracy's hair straight, she wears it that way so rarely.

As much as I hate the rewrite of Phllips life, I'm enjoying seeing Katherine and Jill so its worth it in the end. Jess and Jeanie are truly some of the best.

As for Amber...How this 28 year old girl brought down the maturity of even goofy as hell Lily and Colleen, I don't know. If I hear "LIKE" one more f-in time...

I think I just might start co-signing everything you post and save time. LOL!

I hope this story with Kay and Jill will give both of them Emmy nominations next year. Particularly Jeanne Cooper. Yeah, she got that Lifetime Achievement award, but she was robbed a couple years back for her alcoholism storyline. Someone give this grande dame a friggin' Emmy!

I enjoyed the Paul and Lauren scenes, too. There was energy there that I haven't seen from either character in a long time. It's not that I don't like Michael and Lauren, but it was nice to see Lauren get out of this funk she's been in lately and I haven't really been excited about Paul for a long time. I have a feeling now that he's become more interesting again, he might be killed off. Ain't that the way these things go?

Will someone please shoot Colleen and put me out of my misery. One minute, she's mad at JT for not be honest and upfront. Now, she's do the same thing and her wishy-washy tail is getting on my friggin nerve. Does she want Prof. Dorkbell or Dull T? Make your mind already and run off into the sunset with whomever you choose and never return.

I bet Amber just plain stank! LOL! Ewwww! I wouldn't want to be sitting next to her during that lecture... NO, bump that, I wouldn't want to be at that dreadfully boring lecture in the first place. I'm all art lectured OUT! And stop writing Amber like I toddler for Pete's sakes! For some reason, I was able to tolerate her antics over at B&B, but she just sticks out like a sore thumb on Y&R and it doesn't help that she's with three other annoying ninnys in Colleen, FauxLily, and Prof. Borell.

The year Jeanne won her Lifetime should have been the year she won Best Lead Actress for the mother/daughter story. Unfortunately Jeanne didn't put her name in the pre-nom slot, and Jess shockingly never got a pre-nom. But huge co-sign on her alcoholism story in 2004.

BTW I HATE the name Korbel! It's driving me reliquary!

I could say the same about you! :lol:

I agree, it really felt like some sort of old school romance going on between those Paul and Lauren and I enjoyed that very much. It was nice just seeing Lauren have fun again, and Paul not playing the doddering detective.

I am so sick of Kevin becoming the instantaneous computer whiz that can put tracking devices on a seasoned detective, break into servers and stel encrypted info from two major corporations. Give me a break please. :rolleyes:

Colleen is just all over the place, I guess she gets it from her daddy and his multiple lives and moods.

Seems like they will eventually revisit JT and Victoria, don't you think...

Amber is so far out there with the biitchiness, I mean it really comes from nowhere. :blink: She was just acting kuntish from the very jump, its even a departure from her B&B character. That Amber just whinned all the damn time and played the victim, but this one is playing the role of Superkunt as if she has an "S" on her chest.

I don't think TPTB no what the hell do to with Kevin. And it's a shame because Greg is a good actor. They should have just had him sent to jail, and Greg could have probably reprised the role (like CLB did) since they did nothing with him.

To be honest, I like Michelle Stafford, therefore I am most likely going to like her in something other than being the Stepford Wife to Nick...

Love the relationship of Paul and Lauren...Funny how she can confide in Paul about how she feels and yet keep things in check from Michael. Michael did have me laughing when he was looking on his computer to see what Paul was up to.

I'm really going to like the Kay/Jill storyline...It's about time Kay had a storyline that focuses on her past history with Jill.

I don't know why I laughed when Lily told Colleen to stop focusing on Korbel and focus on JT....I think it might have been because I know that Colleen lets everything she say (or anyone else for that matter) go in one ear and out the other. I am kinda looking forward to seeing Amber toss Colleen out in the wintery woods ala B&B :lol::lol:

I thought today's show was well done. I enjoyed the scenes between Katherine and Jill as well as Katherine/Nikki. I loved Paul and Lauren. I also wish they would revisit their romance. Tomorrow's show looks good as well.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
