Y&R: Week of March 10-14

[LoyaltoAMC]

Wasn't Nikki married or engaged to Jill's brother Greg at one point? There's a funny clip on youtube from the day of Nikki and Victor's first wedding. The Abbotts are getting ready to attend, and Jill (in the form of Brenda Dickson) makes some comment to John in a very snooty tone, something like "can you believe he's marrying a stripper?," causing Ashley to roll her eyes at that comment. Nikki and Jill's history should definitely be explored. A few weeks ago, it looked like they were tossing Jill into the David/Nikki orbit after she spied David and Walter talking at Crimson Lights, but they seemed to drop that.

Do you guys recall the episodes when Nikki first took over Jabot and Jill made all those remarks about how hard it was to see someone else run Jabot and how she has a hard time letting go of it? Remember that interview last week with the anonymous Y&R actor who though the new writer's were trying to stick it to Latham by doing things she wouldn't do? Is the Jabot scenario in reference to Latham changing Y&R's historical style and trying to rid it of its Bell-influence? Seems like it to me, but I could be reading too deep into things. LOL!

[a2sassy]

I noticed that too but and with Brad always going over David's head at Jabot and Nikki basically pissing on Jill, I could see them getting closer and jill and Nikki fighting. Or better yet, hook Jill up with Victor and watch Nikki seeth.

[DeeeDee]

Yep.

It's only a matter of time before Jill & Nikki start fighting which will lead to Katherine & Jill fighting.

[MTSRocks]

They start bickering tomorrow lol. I like Jill, but Nikki is my girl, so I'm definitely rooting for her!

[DaytimeFan]

LOVE feisty Jill. Now it's time to just GIVE JESS WALTON A REAL STORYLINE.

Can't wait to see Nikki and Jill really go at it. I want to see a MAJOR PHYSICAL CATFIGHT. Slapping, hair pulling, desk over turning, glass broken...the kind Y&R used to do so well!

Also, I found the Kay/Amber memoir thing interesting, I'm hoping MAB is going in the direction of undoing the hellish "Baby Switch" too. Regardless did anyone else notice how decked out Jeanne Cooper was? Girlfriend got herself some major canary 'blood' diamonds (take THAT LML).

Don Diamont must be having fun, this is how Brad is supposed to be, Don's doing wonderfully now that he's back to being a slithering SOB.

[MTSRocks]

You see, now I'm hating Brad and the actor is doing his job. Brad is better as a backstabbing A S S H O L E IMO. Don Diamont has that smugness down path.

[DaytimeFan]

Brad's the kind of character that, although generally pretty awful to just about everyone, is someone I've always rooted for. But then, I tend to root for the villains...what that says about me, I don't know!

[MTSRocks]

There's just something that has always kept me from rooting for Brad. The only time I was actually in his corner was during his marriage to Ashley, coupled with her obsession for Victor. I too like villains, but more multi-layered ones like Sheila Carter (FIRST TIME AROUND) and Tricia Dennison. Matt Clarke was cool too. Loved him leaving Nicholas to burn like that lol.

[JackPeyton]

I agree. its about damn time for a good old catfight, Y&R style.

I like the kay/Amber stuff, and also hope they undo that horrid plot storyline of kay is jills mother. And when i saw the dimonds i thought, ha f you LML!

I agree. But the writers do need give brad another layer. he needs a friend to talk to and be a normal human with... hello Lauren!

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

Watching today's show.....kind of slow today...do love Jill's snark at Nikki... I'll always back Jill before I back up Nikki, so I hope they keep having Jill/Nikki scenes.... I seriously think Nikki is going to mess up while in that position.

Boring Cane and Lily scenes; but I am loving seeing Lily slowly self-destructing herself by scarfing down anything she sees... I much rather have her in a storyline where she's not 'baby-talking' to the latest man in her life....so her possible pressures to be a model interest me.

[rhythmchyc]

Jeez, why are people so up-in-arms about the "Blood Diamonds" thing? Millions of people die over that ish and I'd never want to feature that piece of jewelry on my show either. It's really sickening.

But, again, Phyllis's ring has nothing to do with how bad Y&R got over the last few years. I really hope people con't to abhor Latham's job at Y&R because of her atrocious writing and not because of petty things like bottled water and pink engagement rings.

And I did like Phyllis's ring. It was different LOL.

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

So comes the plot of using the 'Ghost of John' against Gloria...Wonder if Jeffrey will immediately hop on board for that or if he does, will he eventually back out due to his feelings for Gloria...

I can see already the connection with Jill and Nikki's talk about the Fresh Faces of Jabot/Chloe to the deterioration of Lily...Lily's going to be a defiant little something and do whatever to be the best little model that she can be (in the unhealthy sense)....I personally would have LOVED to have seen Colleen (Adrianne Leon) in a storyline like this.....

The only thing that had my attention was the Jill/Nikki squabbling....everything else was FF for me or just a glance/listen moment.

[Sylph]

Lose the ghost.

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

I think the minute they try to use the ghost of John is when they discover the John look-alike...This is going to be a mess; I can see it....I hope to God they don't have it where eventually they phase John's look-alike as a permanent fixture on the show (ala Gloria falling for him)...
