Y&R: Out of The Ashes (Clear Springs/Genoa City)

Discussion of the story until it ends

This is a discussion on The Young And The Restless: Out of The Ashes storyline.

Recap of 10/18/07 [Episode #8751] (From CBS.com)

Phyllis excitedly tells Michael that the prison warden granted her the work release. Michael tries to warn Phyllis that if she breaks the very strict rules of the program she’ll be sent back to prison with no second chances. Phyllis calls Nick to tell him the good news about being granted work release, and he is thrilled. Phyllis calls Jack to say that she can start her work release program in two days.

Jack is thrilled but Sharon is not. Victor tells Nick that he’ll be co-CEO of the venture capital division, Neil will be co-CEO of Newman Cosmetics, and Victoria will be co-CEO of the real estate division. Everyone is pleased. Nick tells Phyllis that he has been re-instated as co-CEO.

At lunch, Nikki tells Katherine that she and Victor are divorcing. Nikki complains about how Victor wants to control her whole life. Katherine points out that Victor hasn’t changed in 20 years and it must be something that she did to cause their unhappiness. Katherine reminds Nikki of how much she and Victor have been through together. She wonders if Nikki looks past the stubbornness, that in her heart, she still really loves him.

Victor tells Nikki that he’s calling in her loans, since they are overdue. Nikki seethes, saying that she wants to use her marital assets for whatever she chooses. Victor states that he’s not going to let her go broke.

J.T. tells Joe he’s still worried about the substandard concrete. Joe tells J.T. that if he keeps talking, he’s going to have to transfer him. J.T. shoots back that he’ll have to double his salary if he transfers him. J.T. walks away, hoping he scared Joe a little. Later on, Joe calls J.T. saying that he wants to give him a 25% raise. J.T. asks for it in cash, and Joe states that he’ll need to meet with J.T. in person to talk that over.

Amber asks Lauren if she could look at some new designs she sketched, but Lauren tells her she’ll do it later. Lauren leaves, leaving behind a draft of the new Fenmore’s store in Clear Springs.

as awful as Y&R is now... anytime Tracy E. Bregman is on TV i am going to watch!

Well the first day was pretty good, I think there will be alot more on Monday's show

I just enjoyed seeing a show that featured most of its cast for a change

Was that supposed to be a building collapse? Even with the scaffolding falling over, it barely seemed like a tremor. I don't know how Sharon got buried so quickly.

I know eh. That was really bad.

But that's what you get when you have newbie daytime producers like LML, Josh Griffith and Anthony Morina.

Y&R's production values have gone to hell without Ed Scott and Kathy Foster.

It did look bad didn't it? I mean that just looked terribly cheap!

I was impressed by the promos but now...we'll see because so far it's bad, really bad.

Now I don't have to worry about Y&R surpassing the San Cristobel earthquake on GL.

I know eh. That was really bad.

They started going to hell once Shuagnessey left and Jack F. Smith was sole EP. I don't think Scott's supervising position and Foster's producer credit had much sway in the show's production values.

Anyway, I'm not even bothering to watch this stunt. I hope it flops in the ratings and critics rip it to shreds. Maybe then Latham will be fired.

I had planned to watch it today but got too caught up in DAYS.

Kathryn Foster is now my number one soap crush. Such a talented lady. Y&R's loss I guess.

It had a minimalist feel to it, but it was still good.

I'm watching it tonight.

I must say that while I hate JT and find the character usless TL has been looking dead sexy lately and his chemistry with AH is sorta getting there.

just finished watching monday's show and it was really good the ending was unexpected.

Just like I said in the spoilers subforum - it's gonna be cr*a, re: production values and writing... Nothing new to me. Production vallues my ass...

Is this what they have been hyping?!

No wonder I stopped watching this [!@#$%^&*]!

I cant, I cant. I just tried to watch on SN and had to shut it off bc this sh!t is boring as hell.
