Y&R, Victor and Nikki's Vigil


Recommended Posts

I know ignoring Y&R is the thing to do, but how else would you see the great job Braeden and Scott are doing as the parents fighting over how to save Victoria? Thankfully the focus is being kept on them and not the tug of war between Brad and JT. We all say we want character driven drama. Here it is!

I'm in total agreement. I was about a week and three days behind with my Y&R viewing - and I really didn't have a desire to watch the eps - but boy am I glad that I did! These scenes have really been top-notch. I haven't been one to jump on the anti-Lynn Marie Latham bandwaggon, but even I had to agree that almost every character on the canvas worrying about facing jail time was a bit much! However, this story and the performances by all the actors involved has gotten me interested once again in a big way.

Yeah, I think Y&R is still better than most of what's out there. It has problems, but so does every soap. I love that it's Nikki that is sticking up for what Vikki wants. On most shows it would be the guy she's been in love with for 5 mins who knows her better than anyone in the world. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if AH has had her baby and how much time she's taking off. I'm going to miss her. I wish her the best with her delivery.

Juliajms, I read that she DID indeed have her baby. But I'm not sure how much time she is taking off. I was a little confused about her maternity leave -- I thought all of these coma scenes were in-fact her leave (meaning these scenes were pre-taped), but I was incorrect. As of what we're seeing now on air, AH still hasn't gone on leave yet.

This week has been really good and Victor and Nikki have been fantastic but I also have to say that I have enjoyed Nicholas as well. He has been much more subtle torn between both of his parents opinions but all he wants is his sister back. And besides this story I have pretty much enjoyed everything else this week as well which is rare for me.

I believe it was in one of the soap mags that said VH wouldn't be gone long at all on her maternity leave. So I think that the baby will be delivered and will live and then Victoria will finally come out of her coma to find out that her baby will indeed be ok. This is just my opinion tho..

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
