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.

    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • 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.
