Y&R Discussion: Week of January 8

This is truly freaky, but I agree again! They may as well have just named the character David Hayward because that's who VI is playing on the show. He aslo got in Dru's face and I'm not having that.

Today's epi put me sound asleep. I almost missed AMC because I snoozed off.

I'm going to be honest...When I first heard that Vincent Irizarry was coming to Y&R, I was excited, mainly because I wanted to see what he could do on another show...that all changed the minute he said his first lines....Sorry...I just am not feeling it....If they would have had his character in the storyline sometime back during the initial murder, it would have made some sense to me...but for him to come flying into GC, pointing fingers, calling up Leanna Love of all people, and making his stake in seeking 'justice' isn't doing it for me...First we had to see Will Bardwell get all passionate about seeking justice for the death of Carmen "Messy" Mesta, now this person.

I'm saying this now, and it's just my opinion, but I have a feeling that the character David Chow will be backing into a corner.

Well anyone that gives Dru hell is alright in my book (and I'm a Dru fan BTW, I just like people giving her hell). I see some weird chemistry between Vincent and Victoria and I LOVE it! Dru has been stuck with Neil for tooooo damn long. I think Irizarry and Rowell would be smokin, but I feel they are gonna put him with Sharon Case, and I really don't want that to happen because she is stinking up the join with Peter Bergman and that just shouldn't be happening.

Well I totally agree with you. Dru DID attack Carmen and she has it coming, it's called the consequences of your actions! And I totally understand why they would write Carmen's fiance' as being pissed and wanting justice for her. And I like Dru but I also wish Dru would get away from boring Neil!

I want Sharon to stay with Jack, I was hoping for a David Ashley pairing but that's gone now! Maybe Victoria will dump Brad/George for David.

I'm with you a2sassy! I love seeing Dru fueding and this thing with David Chow is very promising. And how fabulous did she look in that dress? I still miss Dru and Phyllis! They made a big mistake by not putting Phyllis into Carmen's place into this story. I'd give Dily a major comflict, further Dru vs Phyllis and Neil and Phyllis have a nice chemistry.

Katherine and Jill's scenes were excellent and I even didn't mind Amber! I love that Jill isn't going easy on Kay. I thought thats what would happen, but she seemed extremely irritated today. Did you notice the looks she'd give Amber? :lol:

I loved the Dur/Phyllis feud and that really would put Daily to the test with each of them defending their mother. And ITA about Phyllis place in the Carmen s/l, but I understand why they didn't put Phyllis smack dab in the middle of that s/l. She doesn't need anymore screen time than she already gets. And I also noticed the chemistry between Neil and Phyllis. Dru would sh!t a brick if she saw it. I remember when Dru was in Europe after Lily's paternity came out and Neil and Phyllis went to dinner together and I kinda liked their little innocent flirting.

Then watch a year later Brad Bell will bring Sheila back on B&B for a two month run with Kimberlin. I can so see this happening. Sheila's been written so inconsistently on both shows . . .

on a side note - is it me or did Lauren seem more interesting on B&B than she ever has on Y&R? The writing for her on B&B was one of the few things Brad Bell got right.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
