Y&R: Latham is STILL ripping off other soaps

[dragonflies]

I feel like I'm getting deja vu, watching this stuff with Victoria, it's basically a rip off of Kendall's coma storyline from AMC

[Khan]

What's worse: the fact that LML rips off from AMC, or the fact that she can't be bothered to rip off one of their better stories?

[YRBB]

Very well said!!!

[dragonflies]

AMC is supposedly so bad, but the #1 soap has to steal their storylines

I liked Kendall's coma for the most part, Victoria's is just meh

[YRBB]

Sorry hon, it isn't "supposedly" bad.

And, stealing storylines has nothing to do with quality. Quality shows steal storylines too.

And no-one said Y&R is good--what, because it's #1 it means that they shouldn't steal storylines?

LoL!!!

[dragonflies]

#1 soaps shouldn't HAVE to steal anything......

Y&R is mostly a snoozefest these days

[YRBB]

Oh, I absolutely agree with you--but, Latham is writing it so...

And, yes, I use Y&R to put me to sleep, I have to admitt....

I don't see how Victoria's story is anything like Kendall's. Comas are a soap staple and they needed some way to write out AH. Until JT has himself locked in Victoria's room with a gun , while everyone else is made to look like a fool to prop him, the comparison will be lost on me.

Honestly, if you look at any of LML's it seems like a direct copy of previous stories she's done. I don't believe anything is planned on this show. She just throws garbage to the wall and see's what sticks.

Did Victoria also TALK while she was in her coma? I did not like that part about Kendall...I love her and all but sometimes she just needs to shut up

[JackPeyton]

because amc's kendell was the first woman to ever be in a coma on a soap opera? please.

[DevotedToAMC]

I think it has to do with someone barracading the room with a gun....if they throw in the angelic patron saint of Genoa City to lend a hand (as they did on AMC with St. Bianca returning to spread her words of wisdom and use that pixie dust of hers), then it will clearly be a ripoff

I have no idea since I do not watch Y&R

[Cheap21]

Im not watching but isnt she doing this bc AH is on maternity leave?

[dragonflies]

Where once did I say that this is not the first time someone's gone in a coma on soaps?

It's a direct rip off of Kendall's coma Victoria or the baby, Kendall or the baby, sound familiar? baby not developed enough to be born...........

I keep expecting JT or Brad to barricade themselves in her room......

[Juliajms]

^ And if they do I'll agree it's a rip off, but the life of mother or child and coma stories were not new to AMC or Kendall.
