Y&R: Week of June 16, 2008

[sheilaforever]

To use your own accronymisation:

ITA. Told ya so.

I would be ok with a re-positioned Vickie. Artsy Vickie who just came back from Florence where she met newest bestest friend in the world Sabrina, settling for boredom life with Jeffrey Todd after that Khutna Hora nonsenseness with the thig killer and being nearly killed by a marshmallow at Clear Springs BUT only if the character showed some emotion whatsoever which isn't "I wonder what I shall cook for dinner?"

AH is just a (too) bad actress. Simple as it is. I tried to be aptient with her. Yet three headwriters alters she gets worse and worse.

Thanks, Alvin!

Now, now, it wasn't a marshmallow, it was a croissant, we've established that.

[Becki]

Yeah, I gave up in April for this very reason. No soap should be held hostage by any fanbase.....I cannot watch this insipid drivel. I'm hoping Hogan will come in and start something! ANYTHING at this point would better than what the show is delivering.

I hope Victor is pulling a Victor and is now determined to marry Sabrina just so he can make her miserable since he knows he can't be the daddy. I found it interesting that he booked her in with a obgyn to make sure she really was preggers before going ahead with his plan. One of the telling things was Victor saying to Sabrina "tell me the truth" and she got this really panicked look on her face before asking, "about what?". She's hiding something.

If they are really going to write that Victor is the daddy then I blame Eric Braden just as much as the writers. Part of being an actor is having the guts to tell writers, "learn the history, my character had a vasectomy and my character sold his plane to buy a night club". Unless the actors are hoping the writers hang themselves at the expense of their characters.

[Toups]

I hope you're right and Victor will expose/humiliate Sabrina at the wedding.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

That's a very interesting point. Eric Braeden is very hands-on when it comes to Victor. He's been known to walk off set when there's something written that he doesn't want to play. I'm sure he made it known that Victor had two vasectomies.

Yeah, I know, I'm suppose to put that in spoiler tags, but the show is simply too boring for that right now.

[Toups]

You know the rules.

ITD. AH is a great actress and by far the better Victoria. (HT is great as Katie on B&B.) She gets way more criticism than is called for, as do CK (Lily), TS (Colleen) and VB (Heather). Personally I think all four of the actresses I just mentioned are better than Sharon Case. JMO.

^Like I said, JMO.

[y&r_fan]

How are they "diluted"? In all of those cases, the recasts (or "unrecast" in Lily's case) were a massive improvement IMO!

[dm.]

OMG, are you watching the same show as we are? Sorry but AH better than HT? You obviously didn't watch HT's performance from 1991-2003.

How is CK or TS an improvement to the amazing performers that had the role before? Come on.

[FrenchFan]

y&r fan, your opinions always make me laugh You're the only funny part of Y&R right now thanks to your blindness

[rhythmchyc]

Sometimes, your posts are so completely opposite from just about everyone else's, that I can't help but feel like you're joking.

But you incessantly back TS like you're related to her LOL. To each their own, but I still find it jarring.

While most of these actresses that you enjoy are capable, you must admit they haven't been receiving the quality storylines of Y&R's good ol' days, you must admit that. Unless you think the Clear Springs/Carmen Mesda/Reliquary storylines were quality...
