Y&R Discussion: Week of August 6th


Recommended Posts

Just out of curiosity is the boycott this week? Is that why no one is posting in this thread?

Anyways if by some miracle anyone watched Y&R today and wants to let me know what happened I'd be grateful. I'm sorta eager to see if Cane and Lily were as hot as I think they are together and I hate having to wait till 11pm for soapnet.

Yeah.... even Victoria Rowell kissed her backside in her departure article....

Its bizarre. It will take some of the big names to speak up for anything to be done. Like half these actors are playing caricatures of their former alter egos.

But nope, they continue to praise her, I guess out od fear the ax will fall on them if they speak out of turn.

Its not a good situation when the EP is also controlling what the characters do.... bad bad situation.

Hahaha.... I haven't watched GH in a month....not because of choice, but because by the time I catch up on the other soaps I record (DOOL and AMC) I miss out...

Even reading about Y&R in the soap magazines make me cringe....goodness knows it has to be worse in viewing just as it is in reading. :lol:

No, the boycott is in a couple of weeks. I won't be joining in, since I think it could do more harm than good. I'm just not posting as much because I watch the show a few days behind on DVR. Plus, there are other shows I have more fun posting about.

I liked the scenes a couple of days ago were Neil had Jack and Sharon over for dinner and they talked about Dru. Devon is driving me nuts though. Marriage is supposed to be a serious commitment. He's acting like the second things go south it's crazy not to bail. Which all goes to show Devon is about as ready for a serious relationship as Daniel and Lily. I loved Kevin's little snide remark about marriage. Something like "For better or I'm out of here". :lol: As much as I hate Nick and Sharon together, I will say they stuck it out through some rough times.

I hope Janna is going to be like Manny on GH instead of Jon on AMC. Meaning I hope she's a crazy bitch even after they take the tumor out and I hope she takes Kevin on another ride. He deserves it for softening up towards her.

    • LOL - such a good point. They think it'll go over well and be glamorous and amazing, but sometimes it just ends up being cringe. This wedding so far is a little cringe. They have ducks walking around the hotel foyer and towards the camera, for heck's sake haha.
    • I was focused on 1995 Phillip. With only one child at that point, all he'd really have to rule is his harem of ex's. I'd have loved to watch Grant Aleksander and Rick Hearst go toe to toe, but he's on his way out and I doubt the writers would've ever let A-M best Phillip.  Yes, to someone like Kyle, but no to someone to horndog Reva or be an ineffectual six month villain. They really needed to invest in a Roger-type villain who was built to last. I don't know what it is about location shoots, but shows had a way of overplaying them. Just because you can swim the length of a real pool, or run in a literal field of flowers, etc...doesn't mean I have to see it in it's entirety. I just watched Mindy's wedding to Kurt, and Mindy must've walked a bleepin' mile between the carriage and the altar.
    • And it’s give me a Zzzzzzzz viewing experience!

    • They just aired a montage of Marcus and Dahlia swimming, with music playing in the background singing "Skin to Skin", for 4 MINUTES.  No joke or exaggeration. 4 minutes of them swimming at nighttime, no dialogue, just swimming.  WTF.
    • It's giving Ashley as "type A" personality, while Derek is giving "type B" personality, and they're clashing.

    • I remember my late mom express passionate love of the show (being that we're Irish Americans and how Johnny and Maeve Ryan reminded her of her grandfather)... and that she viewed Jillian and Mary as role models. When the show ran on SoapNet years ago, I remember watching the early episodes and having debates with my mom over how strident and militant the show was... especially in regards to feminist issues.  And how I found Mary to be a hypocrite (she's a reporter... yet can't suss out that her father and brother are both toxic and controlling)... and Jillian to not be quite a good role model (yes, she's a lawyer.. but she's happily waiting for Frank to divorce Delia and then after the divorce.. waits for him to win elections as she silently waits on the sidelines). My mom did admit that in retrospect, she did find the show to be a bit strident and explained that it was the 70s and feminism was a huge passion for her and others like her.   And that was when I learned to view soaps without a modern day lens... and eventually I did find enjoyment on the show (and their St Patrick's day celebrations were always a fun tradition).
    • Pink is a good color with her blonde hair 
    •     In a video intetview, it was Richard Backus (Barry) who said Sarah told everyone off at her goodbye party.                                                                               On the Soapnet forum, it was Sean, the MemoryBook webmaster ( he also posts here)  who told us Sarah had been fired. Everyone on the board was shocked. For some reason noobody recalled that. In more recent years, it's been easier to find old press clippings that show that her dismissal was announced in newspapers and magazines.                                      Sean also told us that many of Sarah's castmates were not sorry to see her go. One of the columns about her firing in 1980 said that Sarah "raised the ire" of her co-workers.                                        On the SN board, we were told that Sarah would speak negatively about the show to the press. For example, she reportedly criticized the show for dumping the Pat/Nancy interfaith storyline.  The network didn't like Sarah speaking out like that
