Y&R Discussion: Week of April 30th


Recommended Posts

Nikki forcing Brad to turn Phyllis in would make more sense if Nikki never accepted Phyllis as Nick's wife. It's unbelievable that as obsession as she is when it comes to Nick she'd accent such a loon. Of course this is bad writing, just like Victoria being such a doormat.

The writing is so inconsistant and plot driven and I'm not really enjoying the show at all now. What happened to Jill/Ji Min? Two big days of development and we haven't seen them as a couple for two weeks. They had the perfect chance to contrast Paul/Maggie having a date or Maggie meeting Mary before arresting Phyllis, but they've obviously forgot about that relationship.

Even the worst soap writers are better than Latham because at least they know how to write a soap. Latham drops things constantly so it's a waste getting invested in a story. Romantic pairings and character development has 100% been thrown on--ON A FRICKING UBER ROMANTIC SOAP OPERA! And worst of all all the big events/reveals are rushed and thats one of the best parts of a soap!

Watching it may not seem that bad, but this is truly the worst soap on air and one of the worst ever. If Latham hadn't fired Jack Smith and Kay Alden it would probably be very good. Her ideas aren't terrible she just doesn't respect the history of the show or the characters. She's all about showcasing herself with her dreadful plot driven writing.

I can't believe my eyes. They must be deceiving. You found the light *pun intended*, Chris. LOL!

Your what happened to...-list could be made much longer: Ji/Jill, Paul/Maggie, Janas disappaerance, the Extreme Catwalk-stuff (although I saw a casting spoiler that indicates that story is still alive), Kay&Jill...

As you said, the show has become a sole purpose of showcasing LML's plot ideas and her favorited characters Gloria, Phyllis, Amber ad Michael (although I think the latter could just get airtime because he's popular and Mikey & Lauren still have tons of support)

ETA: MTS looks indeed stunning and make me forgot that Nikki is quite a lot tarnished these days. I was never one of her biggest fans and I love waht she's doing with Phyllis but it's deinitely out of character... BUT I still hate David Chow. He needs to be killed ASAP. Actor and character add NOTHING to Y&R. Buh-bye!

Speaking of Amber where is she? Is AF off on her tour or something?

I love David. I think he has potential, but they need to give the character some depth if he's going to be sticking around.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Jack is being a huge hypocrite right now. I want ghost John to come out and remind him that he's not the poster boy for honesty these days. Maybe the reason he hasn't found lasting love is he can't forgive, even when he's guilty of the same exact thing!

Why did I let you all trick me into watching this show today? The clips of Phyllis getting her behind handed to her and people talking about Y&R having an old timey feel made me think oh okay maybe Y&R is back, but I see its the same ish, different month. :lol:

Someone please tell me, why in the hell is Lauren that much of a bitch where she is now all gung ho "get Jack?" :huh: Does she know how crazy she looks married to Michael who gets away with every thing and just coming off of killing Sheila herself? Are they just setting up Michael and his little band of merrymen for a fall? Everybody gunning for Jack makes me think so.

The whole Fisher/Baldwin clan needs to be in jail. Yesterday Michael told Gloria she could be roomates with Phyllis, but now so can Lauren with her hacking into Jabot's security camara.

Today's show seems like a filler, but there is some movement in the "Bring down Jack" s/l because Michael and Lauren found without a doubt proof that Jack owns Jabot and we got some Jill/Ji Min stuff.

Uh oh...Lauren just found out Gloria tampered with the face cream. This should be a good confrontation.

And Michael and Victor rolled up on Ji Min in the GCAC like it was NOTHING! I think Ji Min shitted himself. :lol:

ETA: I can see it now. Cane and his uncle are scamming Kay and Jill. And I really liked him too. And here we were thinking Amber was the schemer in that "marriage".

If Lauren found out about the Skin Cream Killer, would she even care? I can see her getting mad at Michael keeping the secret but then going along and protecting them all and being the hypocrite that this family is

Why wouldn't Lauren choose the Fishers over Jack though. He's nothing to her these days. I can't even remember the last time they shared a sceen. Michael is her husband she should be on his side. At least, I think she should. It's not as if Gloria intended for the tainted cream to get out into the market place. She's guilty of stupidity more than anything else. If I were Lauren though I would make an effort to not know what they are up to. Easier to avoid an orange jumpsuirt that way. :lol: Has it even been proven that the skin cream was responsible for that woman's death? I thought her husband tried to sue a restaurant or something first?

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.
