Last week, we got to see GloHo up to her antics, and suffer through the extremely painful 'reality show' Extreme Catwalk. So, now that it is another week, what do we have in store for us? Let's just say, there's another pregnancy in the wings and someone falls out when they discover the truth about someone.

We all know the drill: Let's discuss what we liked, what we didn't like and what could have been left on the cutting room floor on another week of Y&R

I have a feeling this is going to be a painful week, at least for me. I'm looking forward to JT/Victoria and Nikki/David. Other than that...maybe it's time to cycle back to AMC for awhile. It's been awhile since I enjoyed Y&R in the summer. If this is going to be the summer of porn, I'm out. :lol:

I can never give Y&R up completely, but for whatever reason I just don't enjoy what the show dishes up in the summer. At least they aren't doing the teen reality show anymore. Still, the summer Mac tried to win JT over was pretty bad, imo. If only B&B and Y&R could hit their strides at the same time, but that never seems to happen.

I rarely posted on a Y&R thread. I usually stick to the ATWT ones. But last week of Y&R was horrible. It was a complete bore. If things dont get better I am dropping Y&R.

I never thought the day would come when I would be so extremely disappointed in Y&R. No matter what shortcomings the show may have, you could always count on it to be several cuts above the rest.

It was not even aweful. It simply was not Y&R. This is garbage I expect from hacks on other networks. I am completely disgusted, and this is after viewing only 1 eppy.

Everyone is paired all wrong. The woman are pathetic indecisive sluts. A death of a major character means nothing. Red Herrings all over the place. Dragging out this skin cream thing.

I have never seen the show in such a terrible state, and although I stopped watching quite some time ago, this worries me because we can no longer rely on Y&R to be THE show that was still above par. To me, this is a bad signal for daytime...

Great post. Let's see the top stories on the air. The skin cream storyline, the cat walk crap of a storyline and Amber/Daniel porn online storyline.... A complete mess of a show if you ask me.

The Extreme Catwalk had to be embarrassing for each and every party involved. I cringed at just the thought. The only saving grace for me was seeing Mr. Fine Nigel Barker. I just love that guy. Totally hot!

And Amber? The ghost porn slut from BB was needed on Y&R because why? The girl is a walking STD! And why is it that Cain's story is not important?

Has this show secretly brought on board Pigley, McTrash and HackReilly and not told the audience?

UGH!

I think I'm done with this clusterfuck of a show too, unless CBS/Bell/Sony have the sense to replace LML. However, that won't be happening any time soon. :rolleyes:

I think we all should start a boycott, that way LML will be gone in no time once the ratings take a severe plunge. Just a thought. :)

I feel sick to my stomach and if I hadn't decided to never quit watching Y&R, I'd probably quit. What has Don Diamont done to deserve the insanely bias treatment his character recieves?

First Brad cheats on his DYING wife with her BEST FRIEND and it's HER fault for the marriage ending when she kisses Victor. Now Brad cheats on Victoria as soon as they get married and tries endless times to get Sharon back in bed, but he's throwing HER out the house?! WTF kind of shyt is this?! I truly have no idea what Jack Smith/Lynn Latham see in Brad. He is the most despicable person on the face of the planet. I also found Victoria's out of character revenge sex to put her on equal ground with Brad. Sorry, doesn't work!

I laugh because people truly think that Gloria is going to be revealed? Look at Brad! They've turned Jack and Ashley into villians, dumbed down John, Katherine and Jill, re-wrote Michael and Kevin's relationship with Gloria and turned Gloria into some genius schemer just to keep her from paying for her crimes.

I am so sick of this show. If it weren't for B&B/ATWT airing after it, I doubt I'd keep my pledge to stick with Y&R.

There is no purpose, same goes for Plum who just happens to be played by Adrienne Frantz' boyfriend. Is it any wonder the ratings are down with the show how it is? Plus I will forever think that Victoria Rowell's exit (and backburning Kristoff/Bryton) has caused the black viewers to leave in droves.

Jack being turned into a villian is what turned me off. Victor will do the same thing, and he is admired and untouchable. But Jack simply gets back a company he should have never lost, and he's a demon getting visits from his dead father? Jack has no conscience? LML has no conscience is more like it. She's a witch - I just know it.

Dru's death and the aftermath was an abomination!

Exactly.

You could always rely on Y&R - sth. on this show did deliver. If B&B is in the dumps it's Susan Flannery who rescues the show and therefore brings me never on the verge of tuning out; Y&R used to have such an amazing ensemble, such a classic feel which made seem impossible for me to ever drop it.

But tthis ship has sailed 6 months ago. This last half year was painful, it was forced to keep up a habit which no longer exists. Y&R was cancelled last early December the latest and was consistently replaced by some worn out crap from the ABC/NBC trash bin.

I'm done.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
