Y&R Discussion: Week of June 4th

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

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

[Juliajms]

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.

I guess I'm tuning out as well.

I never finished Friday's show. These are just ten minutes but I don't see any need to watch them and continue watching.

Bye bye Y&R!

[Juliajms]

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.

[ANDREA LOATHES REILLY]

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.

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.

[ANDREA LOATHES REILLY]

Don't send a thing. The decline in viewership, which affects the ratings is all the communcation that needs to be done. It worked for Trassions. The ratings continued to decline, they did nothing about it, and look at what happened.

I don't see the purpose of Amber at all. Why is she on Y&R? And what happened to Cain's storyline? It looked so promising and then it was dropped.

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!

ITA. Great post, Andrea!

[sheilaforever]

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.
