Members Juliajms Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 ^^ I was wondering that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nassaunew Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 I see Amber's still making bad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fee93 Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Allison Stewart from ATWT. The "new" Allison debuts on Y&R for one day with Amber apparently, before making her way back to Oakdale in a few weeks. I don't really get the connection here or why they felt the need to introduce a recast on another show! No one knows her on Y&R, even if they watch ATWT.

Members Juliajms Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 ^^ How odd. I could see a crossover more, if Allie was on ATWT now. I don't mind that sort of cross pollenation, but it's not the same actress that was on last time and the character is being reintroduced, so I just find the whole thing bizarre.

Members NaVell J. Lee Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 This has to be the dumbest spoiler I ever heard! How convuluted is this piece of [!@#$%^&*]??!! LML has got to go b/c she is seriously sinking this show into the ground. And why bring ali back on Y&R FIRST? ummm....if no one watches ATWT, who would make that connection that she is the Ali from Oakdale..in a new face? It was different when Christian LeBlanc crossed over to ATWT (albeit I was hoping he was going to return as Kirk McColl), but that is just ass-backwards! Shouldn't this story be about Jill/Kay...when did Amber Moore become the star of it?? With Rick being back, Amber can go back to Los Angeles in her element.

Members Mason Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 This is just great. Not only has LML ruined Sheila, but NOW the b!tch is starting to ruin characters on MY shows too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Amber + Alison= SNOOZE I am not at all interested in Amber coming along to 'seduce' another man, not only that, but possibly two (if that Daniel spoiler is in fact true)....

Members MarkH Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Okay, I'm mostly a lurker here. I enjoy the site a lot, although I find a lot of the anti-LML histrionics too strong for my taste. I am a lifelong Y&R fan (since 1973), and for the most part I LIKED the LML changes. They were stronger in the Summer of 2006 (Victor's epilepsy, early days of the reliquary story)...but the show needed some energizing (in my view). I like that so many of the stories in this new regime are rooted in history (Brad's cipher past, Victor and Jack's emnity, Jill and Kay's emnity, Dru's long-hidden secret from Neil, etc.). However, that's not the point of this post. This story--which many are decrying as plot-driven drivel--DIRECTLY mirrors two earlier Y&R stories. (1) Kay drugs/drunkens Derek Thurston, so he wakes up married to her (instead of his true love, Jill). Kay then traps him in the marriage by saying "If you stay with me for a year, I will financially provide for Jill's son Phillip. Derek, then still a decent guy (he later became a money-grubbing evil guy), agreed. (2) Cassandra gets Brad Carlton drunk, then jets to Las Vegas to marry him. He is incensed, and wants a divorce. However, Cassandra dies before that happens, so that Brad becomes the (unrightful) heir to the Rawlings fortune (a bequest Cassandra would have hoped Paul to have). Now, I grant you that the extra brilliance (my words!) of bringing in a cross-dressing angle, and bringing in a cross-over angle (reintroducing a legacy character for ATWT) is delicious. If this "Allison" is interesting and funny in the role, I _could_ imagine following her to ATWT (a show I have never watched). To my eyes, these are bold, dynamic strategies---AND (as points 1 & 2 above suggest) they are entirely consistent with 34 years of Y&R history and the Bill Bell style. And no, I'm not on LML/Sony/Bell/CBS' payroll :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Euclid219 Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 But why would ATWT want to put Alison Stewart, or B&B want to put Amber Moore, in a league with a villainous old drunk (Kay at the time) or a virtual nobody(Cassandra Whoever)? If Y&R wants turn "legacy characters" into cross dressing, pill dropping, con artists, then they should stick with their own cast. I forgot, Y&R can't do that, because they have the nasty habit of killing off their young. Well, that isn't B&B or ATWT's problem, and they should not let Y&R trash their characters. (I am still mad about Cassie's death, and nope, I am in no hurry to get over it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 I highly doubt Jean Passanante cares about LML trashing her characters. In fact, I'd almost be willing to bet that they were in on this whole crossover idea together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
