Y&R Discussion: Week of February 5

Oh god, Phyllis is such a disaster now! I can't even stand to hear about this pod woman! And is it just me or did Lily come off like a vapid crisis hotline volunteer? Did she not realize that her husband's sister and mother were kidnapped? Dru was more torn up and she HATES Phyllis! Is this what we have to look forward to when Dru leaves?

That Jack and Dru scene made me sick! So much wasted potential. :( Anything with Dru is difficult for me to watch now, knowing she's leaving. At least she wore the hat on Monday, I needed that.

Overall I can't say I'm impressed with the way Phelia's story is playing out. I want more fire from Phyllis, I want gut wrenching scenes with Paul at Maggie's bedside, etc. Surprisingly the Fishers are the only ones working in this story.

I too LOVED DRU today, the hat made my day, who else could pull that hat off???? I am going to miss her so much,. If LML doesn't write DRU out tastefully she will lose what little respect I have left for her. Also, Nikki taking Noah to Chicago? The last time Sharon/Nick was in Crisis, they ran off too. They always rush Nikki/Noah out of town when something comes up, no wonder MTS is dissatisfied with her character.

Today's show wasn't to bad........

I wanted to throw something at the screen each time Amber and Brad were on...... :lol:

I liked seeing Ji Min and Jill having scenes together, they would be a really interesting and entertaining couple I think; and much better than Jill & Stiffwell.......

The way Sharon got mad at Nikki for stopping to get something for she and Noah to eat annoyed me....I can understand Sharon not wanting Noah to find out what's going on I guess, but honestly it was a bit confusing.....When I saw the preview for tomorrows show it made me wonder if Nikki will have to call and ask Sharon for permission; before stopping to go to the bathroom while on the road........ I guess they could pick up some NASA Depends if Sharon said no...... :lol:

Today's show was pretty good, I guess. WAY to much of the reliquary story, I just want it to end, I am so sick of it. Other than that it was pretty good though, I was hoping for some of the continuation of yesterday's show with Sheila but I guess that will wait for another day.

Today's show bored me to tears.

I hate Amber Moore! And can The Hack make it any more obvious that Cane is Jill's son? :rolleyes:

I'm starting to see a possible Ji Min and Sharon pairing. I think that would be pretty hot. It would be much hotter than anything invovling David Chow *barfs*.

It's the return of the reliquary. We've had a few days without this story, but it's still stale and doesn't interest me at all. Colleen and Adrian are vomit-inducing.

Gawd, Nikki shut up. She makes me sick with how she acts like she is the only one suffering or that she has the right to control a situation. And Sharon absolutely has the right to know where her child is, especially after her kidnapping. Nick makes me sick with that. Making decisions about other people's safety without consulting them.

    • 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.
