Y&R: "Wait a second, that's PHYLLIS' VOICE!!!!!"


Recommended Posts

Still watching and not convinced at all.

MS isn't at her best at all. She comes off as Sheila caricature, mimicking (sp?) some off her habits but overall paying some eccentric loony.

Right now I'm hating both: Stepford Phyllis and Pheila - also because MS isn't that good as she was back in the day as the real Phyllis Summers who gave Chris, Danny & Paul more than one serious headache.

I'm nott seeing those Emmys in her for quite some time (except for those birth scenes with Jack in the elevator). Maybe Josh Morrow has dragged her down in the acting apartment!?

Yet, I'll admit that I totally hate the overall story so taht I'm biased.

As an Y&R viewer/fan, I for one love watching Michelle Stafford doing this storyline, rather than her playing "Happy Homemaker" Phyllis. Yes, at one point, it was hot to see Nick and Phyllis together, but as time went by, she just lost her edge...so, seeing her doing something different with and edge is a plus for me.

I understand why some of you voice your views so strongly about not liking the role she's playing now; I respect that, however, I'm actually loving it....

I agree but disagree. As a Y&R fan I would prefer to see Michelle Staford playing Phyllis, the real Phyllis, not this butter wouldn't melt in her mouth unPhyllis we've been seeing. Y&R, if it was written well, wouldn't have to resort to bringing on a new character for this fantastic actress to play. MS should be able to show her range with the multi-dimensional character Bill Bell created for her. Unfortunately, real Pyllis does not fit into the new direction of this show, so the only way we get to see MS playing her crazy best is for them to resurect a character that should have been left in the land of legend.

Sheila too started out as a multi-dimensional character with believable motives for all her actions (the search for love and acceptance) but under the un-talented pen of many incompetent writers she was reduced to a one dimensional crazy villian that would have been better left off our screens. In a way I'm glad that Kimberlin wasn't invited back because maybe it's better to see someone else pissing all over your part then to have to do it yourself!!!

I go and have some computer issues and miss a BATTLE ROYALE! LOL! It literally took me an hour to wade through this thread and watch all of the videos.

Okay, gotta say that I LOVE the Kimberlin Brown, Eileen Davidson, Cynthia Watros, Sabryn Genet clip. AWESOME!

And I know I'm late here, but count me in as part of TEAM KIMBERLIN BROWN/THE ONE AND ONLY SHEILA!

Michelle Stafford should be playing the REAL Phyllis and Kimberlin Brown should be playing the REAL Sheila! Plain and simple. Neither character exists anymore because LML assasinated them.

:lol: My bad. TEAM EILEEN DAVIDSON/KRISTEN!

We have little coalition going on. LOL!

Seriously, I'm one of the seemingly few that hates seeing ED leaving Y&R! And one of the fewer that actually would have like to see the show revisit Victor and Ashley. **ducks from flying tomatoes**

Maybe Y&R's loss will be DAYS gain.

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
