Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Can Cane really be serious about wanting to raise a baby with the baby he's dating? Um, they've been a couple for about three months and she's knocked up and already wanting to debate if she should have a child...Lily can't even mature without Neil coming to save the day.... She's inadvertently ruining his relationship with Karen. I just don't see either of them being parents.....and I definitely would rather see Jill doing something more than cooing over Lily whiny baby in scenes, that's for damn sure. I wonder who's playing who in the Newman clan? Seriously, while Nick, Victoria, and Victor all squabble over mortgages and sleeping around with best friends, I see Adam pulling off the biggest stunt and pulling the rug out from underneath them all... Victor may be all in the driver's seat but while he assumes that he has power, I have a feeling someone unexpected knocking him out and taking control; and I have feeling it's going to be Adam that does the dirty doing.....and sorry, but i don't see Sabrina as merely in love with Victor, there's something up w/that chick....there's always something up when they pair someone with either Victor Newman or Nikki Newman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JSROCKS Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 WORD QUICK KAREN RUN FOR THE HILLS ITA. I'm still having trouble believing that Adam was working in NYC while Victor was in Europe trying to find him at Hope's request. There most certainly is more to Adam than meets the eye and hopefully TIIC reveals his true colors slowly. As far as Sabrina is concerned it certainly doesn't hurt that Victor is RICH. I for one would like to see her take him down---- even if it's just for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Perhaps Pipsqueak and Sabrina are in cahoots. I always figured something was up between them they way they "hated" each other on sight. Yesterday's show had Scott Hamner and other remnants of Lynn Marie's krazy krew in the opening credits. Why do these boring writers still have a job? I just assumed they would resign en masse when their skunk-haired troll was dismissed. Seriously, I cannot face any more scenes of everybody congregating at the coffee shop (Nikki and Victor included!) as GC's high-powered CEOs purchase their own skinny lattes and talk about recycling and the environment and how hot Brad is.

Members DaytimeFan Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 If my ears aren't betraying me I believe Jeffrey just said "pig poo" while arguing with Alistair. Now, had this scene been during the Kay Alden era, Jeffrey would have said "you devious, devious man, thieving Gloria's heart, MY Gloria, damn you!!!" There would have been a sense of style to the whole thing. Now we have "pig poo"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 I did crack up when he this morning. That line was straight out of some Dr. Seuss book. I swear, half the time, I can't tell if these people are bad on purpose or because they don't know any better. At least I know when the actors are being witty or silly on OLTL.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Both variations suck IMO. I hate the extreme theatrics of classic Y&R dialogue, it makes the show less relatable and in the end, comes off as extra campy. Y&R was never known for its dialogue though, it was its gripping storylines, pay-offs, and shocking cliffhangers that made the show. GH far trumps the other soaps in the dialogue department. The storyline might suck, but each character has unique "voice" and the dialogue is crisp, fitting, and relatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Y&R used to have great dialogue. Now characters say stuff like "Let's flirt with everything with a zipper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't get why people think Y&R used to have bad dialogue??? At times overtly dramatic, yes, but bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 You said what I was thinking. There is something off about Sabrina and Adam. Maybe he's not even Adam. The only thing I liked about Sabrina telling Victoria is Victoria calling it an affair and Sabrina insisting it was something more and then Victoria asking about love and Sabrina's reaction. What did Lily work hard at in terms of modeling? Filling in the form to be a contestant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 Uh, if he wasn't Adam, then, would he be some sort of clone or long lost twin because Hope knew who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sheilaforever, you are SO right! I don't care if Sabrina is the devil in disguise, just as long as Braeden stops doing that smile thing he does everytime he sees Sabrina. Sabrina's OK, but that goat's horny smile just makes it incredibly icky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 I always liked Y&R's very theatrical dialog...I don't care about being relatable. I care about good grammar. Y&R had GREAT grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 17, 2008 Administrator Share Posted April 17, 2008 I agree. I never thought Y&R had "bad" dialogue. I love the theatrical dialogue too. Example: Victor: "One way or another, you're leaving this building. You're no longer working here, I am. The guards will side with me. Jack: "This ain't Newman Enterprises. You don't call the shots around here." Victor: "But your father does. Now what do you think your dad is going to say if he finds out that you were escorted out of the building by your own security guards." Jack: "He'll probably want you thrown out next." Victor: "When you finally get it through your head, Jack, that I was asked by your sister, a high officer [i think.....he was mumbling] of this company, to help us save this company from going bankrupt. I am here to do that job, whether you like it or not. And I'm going to sit in the chair that you're sitting in right now. I like it, and I want you out of it, and I want me in it. Jack gets up. Jack: "You like this chair? You want this chair?" Jack grabs the chair and throws it, smashing the window. Jack: "Have a seat, on me." Total awesomeness.

Members DaytimeFan Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 Love that, here's one of my favorites, circa 1995: Jill: My God, where do you get your nerve? Mamie: Me? What about you? Carrying on with another man? In this house, probably sleeping with him in the same bed you sleep with your husband.. Jill: That's it, I'm not listening to another word of this Mamie: Oh yes you damn well will hear me out! I've had a lot to say to you lady for a long, long time! Jill: Now you look here! Mamie: No you look Jill! Long before these nasty little affairs of yours I knew everything about you, Everything, I knew you only wanted John Abbott for his money Jill: That is a lie! Mamie: You never really loved him, you only wanted him for what you could get. A fine man like that, being treated like dirt by the likes of you it just makes me sick! Jill: You go to hell! Mamie: Oh and what are you going to do now? Go and call Jed or perhaps John Siiiiiilva? Jill: What? Mamie: Yes, I overheard the two of you making plans, long before the party. Jill: Oh so now you're listening in on phone calls! Mamie: He's a lawyer isn't he Jill? Or perhaps he's servicing you in other ways? Jill: Why do you dirty mo... Mamie: Oh you think you're going to HIT ME now I wish you would! John: Stop It now, both of you! Mamie I would likea word alone with my...Mrs... Mamie: You mean The Bitch don't you? John: Thank you Mamie I'll handle it for now. (Jill is livid, Mamie sashays off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
