Y&R Discussion Thread: Week of April 9th

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

Neil is going to be Sharon, Brad and Phyllis worst enemy in some ways...You know how it goes...a mourning husband who turns to the bottle can release a many a truths about folks.

I remember when Brad was all cool with Neil back in the day....Funny how marrying your butt into money continuously and sliming your way into a position can change a fool, I mean a man.... Brad's a fool and I hope the spoilers are true that his marriage won't be the only thing he'll have to worry about.

I've always loved Olivia. I hated her butt however, when she slithered between the sheets with ole Brad the Cad.

Dru's sendoff did nothing for me. It was lacking so much energy.

[DrewH]

I agree Steph. There was something missing. I don't know if it was that it felt rushed or what, but I wasn't satisfied.

[Cheap21]

Im really shocked by this news that Brad and Neil were best friends. I still cant believe it. All they've done over the past 2 years has been fight or argue about something. They dont seem to show any signs of having shared history

Is this the first mention of Olivia working somewhere else? I always assumed she was still in town, just never talked about. I thought that pic she showed Lily of her mother was absolutely gorgeous. I loved that pic of Dru

And why didnt they bring Mamie back? They mentioned her but that was it. Was here a reason given for why she wasnt around? And are Dru's parents still alive?

Re: Olivia - I had the same feeling as you. Since she just faded into the bakcground after the summer of 2005, one had to assume Liv were still in town...

Why they didn't bring Mamie back was really beyond me. They could have chosen from TWO (although Victoria Rowell only worked opposite Veronica Redd) actresses - one of them surely had time to show up at Y&R... It's just lazy writing/TPTB: same goes for Miguel who's only mentioned but never seen in about 2 years by now!

As for the senior Barbers: I actually don't know, yet I guess both are dead since the early 90s.

[Chris B]

Olivia said that Neil told her parents and Aunt Mamie not to come because Dru isn't dead. Still, wouldn't they want to be there for support?

Thats because it was like a send off for a secondary character, not a major star for 17 years. There should've been more emotion considering the amount of lives Drucilla touched. And not bringing back Mamie at least was ridiculous. It was very throw together and I wonder if they'll continue to use Neil once this story is up.

Will he be the next Doug Davidson?

Nah, Neil is more the KAY-type if you know what I mean. Pretty soon Neil will be talking with BlandLilly about her marital problems with pornking Daniel and orgasms or lack thereof...

ALl this musing reminds me that I finally have to watch yesterday's show. LOL!

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

Leave it to Latham to disregard or respect the rich history of any of the characters she's axed recently. John deserved an extraordinary send off (montage of all the people he was interacting with)

Dru definitely needed to have more than what we got to see....I wanted to see when she first stepped foot in Genoa City....montages of her when she and Neil first fell in love; how he heped her with her chance of being a ballerina; when she first started to model, etc.

[edgeofnik]

Wish they had skipped this whole "prayer" service thing. I think it's so hallow for people because we all know why VR left and that she ain't coming back. Y&R just needs to move beyond "Dru". It's too bad, really.

[soapflake]

does anybody have the soapsin depth magazine for this week with sharon on the cover? are there any interviews with her in the magazine? Thanks.
