Y&R: Heather & Brad


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Anyone else interested in this? Because when i read theyw ere being chem tested i was like no way. So i watched them on youtube and i kinda like them. i think VB & DD have really good easy natural chem. I also lvoe how unexpected this couple is - and thats what i love about Y&R. They mix everything up and try things out.

Also, i think that Vail Bloom has really started to become a good actress. Now thats shes not playing the ADA, but instead legal at jbot she works mucyh better and the char seems to be much more laid back and easy going insted of so poise and perfect. Id still lvoe to have Lindsey McKeon in the role as rumors said, but she is getting better.

Also... am i the only nikki/paul fan? i love that friendship.

I like Brad and Heather. Brad is the kind of guy everyone hates and seeing where things could go with Heather would be interesting. I always thought of Heather as an interesting character, but we didn't get much of her in 2008. I'd give anything to see more of Brad, Heather, Paul, Colleen, Adrian... those characters are quite interesting, but way too underused. And yes, I like Nikki and Paul together. The May 2 episode was interesting... Paul talking to Nikki and Lauren... It's nice to have at least one episode separate from all the Newman/Sabrina/Vikki drama.

may 2nd? is that today?

i do think that heather is intersting and i would like to see more of her. i also love that it can tocuh upon the brad and paul history. this is what i love about Y&R - the unexpected. on a show like gh you would never think a couple like that could actuall happen.

were they not trying a daniel/heather thing? did that not work?

i also am starting to like cane and lilly but would prefer him with chloe.

I don't know what they were trying to do with Daniel/Heather, but they seemed like a very interesting couple. He always made her smile and their scenes were great, but they dropped that. I believe they didn't have a scene together ever since that money burning episode (when Amber begged Daniel not to say anything to Heather). However, if they had actually decided to go down that route (H/D) I don't know if they'd be as interesting as before.

I just wish they'd get rid of Vail entirely. I have faith in what the replacements can do with the scraps LML left. Seriously, though, every time Vail comes on screen, I get pissed because I feel like the writers should concentrate on their stronger characters.

really? Because i honestly am intersted in heather and want to know more about her. maybe its just because i cant stand CKilly and SurSUCKeen. lol.

i do wish we had Liz Hindrickson in a better role and a role they planned to do something more with tho, because shes amazing.

One thing is for sure - Y&R's younger set needs major work, as does the entire show.

I agree about Liz. There doesn't even seem to be potential with her role. But that's probably because she doesn't have any familial connections with anyone on the show... unlike just about EVERYONE ON Y&R these days. With the success of this Fresh Face campaign, she may be able to set up some roots, though, and be more than just a thorn on Lily's side. Hopefully the writers will give Lily more backbone (despite Christel's shortcomings) and a good rivalry will brew.

About Vail, generally when characters are set up really badly, I don't want to know anything about them. At all. So, unless the writers actually give her something meaty, I still want her out of town. That was so odd how they set her up to leave for like 3 episodes and yet they kept her anyway. Does Vail have an exceptional agent/manager or what?

I agree about Chloe. She just.. i mean... theres no point other than they have an amazing actress in the role to keep her around. And to be honest so many olther char's need wotj and atorylines i wont be upset when she goes. it just pains me to lose a great under 30 actress when the show has none.

Heather i agree with too. I just wish they would explore her and paul more and i think using brad would be a great way to do it. daddy issues and all. i also have seen growth in Vail, unlike the other young actress on the show and i think thats why i now want more despie the bad role.

it was odd how they set her up to leave town. thats was around the time of the Lindsey McKeon rumors started.. then nothing.

At least this will give Paul more scene time.

I'm sorry but only thing CKLily is built for is woe is me storyline. Now that Chleo might be making a move on Cane. CKLily storyline is going to be woe is me I just lost your baby Cane & now woe is me I got to deal with Chleo showing what a real woman is made of. & she going ot coward in a corner somewhere like she let Amber & Daniel get away with that porn stuff.

I hate Vail Bloom and I don't think my opinion is ever going to change. Lindsay McKeon would be a sublime recast.

I like Brad with pretty much anyone. He's such a bastard but he's one that, oddly, I root for simply because he is so good at being bad.

    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
