Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Interesting theories about Kay. I think something is probably going to come of it, but we need to see more signs first. Y&R has been much better lately. I love Jeff blackmailing GloHO, she deserves it.

Members Adam Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I totally agree. Josh Griffith... is ok I guess but he can't be held responsible for the huge shift creatively Y&R has under gone since December 26th, 2007. Its like night and day. When I watchin a Y&R episode now, I am watching Y&R. From direction, to music selection to dialouge. The pacing is back to the traditional YY&R pacing too. Slow but not too slow. I am absolutely in love with the show again. Storylines are still iffy but I mean we are seeing HEATED exchanges between Victor and everyone daily, even Gloria's storyline is tolerable because I don't see it as "proping" as it was with Latham running the show. Strike or no strike I still believe Latham would have gotten the boot. Clear Springs failed miserably, and basically every critic in the industry and millions of fans alike were calling the show out on its total destruction. The only people I ever saw publically kiss Latham's butt were the actors working for her..... They are if nothing else, professional. The actors look like they love working again. So much more fire goes into their scenes (case in point MTS and EB) like emmy worthy stuff. I am so glad to see the Y&R I once loved back on my screen. Still a long way to go, but.... they have made a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ah...but Liz Foster had a brain tumor when she told that story. Brain tumor = false memory. Liz could have been wrong, and that character's integrity could remain intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Another "tumor-made-me-do-it" twist, eh, lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Wow. You wrote the words I was thinking! Yes! You say the actors look like they're having fun...EXCEPT for Christian Leblanc. He was LML's best friend, and he is sorely backburnered AND weakened (basically ineffectual and reactive in both Victor and Gloria's story). So many actors praised LML to high heaven...Leblanc, Rikaart, Braeden, Cooper ("saved the show"), Diamont. I wonder if their feelings changed (much of this was early in LML's reign)...or if they are miserable she's gone. I think LML gave free reign to the showboating tendency in some of them...so they would miss that freedom, being more controlled by history and well structured storylines again. There is no doubt, though, 100%, that MTS has gone from miserable to on-fire. That is so visible. If LML is gone, Ed Scott, Kay Alden and Jack Smith must be dancing on her symbolic grave, no?

Members MarkH Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Or, as Maxwell Smart might have said, "The old hypertrophy-made-me-do-it trick, eh?". Has a tumor storyline like this happened on soaps before? :-) I'd put up with a tumor story if Jill could get back to being the bitch I used to love to hate.

Members Adam Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would certainly think so. I mean look at how many people got fired or "quit" aka basically forced out since her arrival. The there is the horrible treatment of Davetta Sherwood and Adrienne Leon.... both far superior actresses to their replacements. MTS I think loathed Latham and she must just love having this meaty storyline and is true to Nikki's character and allowing her to just showcase her talents. Melody Thomas Scott is awesome when she gets writing that is true to her character. When she gets scraps (which Latham offered her) she is terrible.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 21, 2008 Members Share Posted January 21, 2008 ^LMAO! She must really hate B&E, knowing they replaced her on two soaps already. Though really, she isn't much better than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 21, 2008 Members Share Posted January 21, 2008 Uhm she's been back since April! Of course they're referring to the real Greenlee. Haha McTavish is so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
