Maybe I have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to VR, but I was a little offended by it. Given the way Dru "died", kissing the fishes sounds a lot like sleeping with the fishes.

Wow, Gloria really freaks me out every time she kisses someone. When she starts kissing someone her eyes stay wide open and then close later. I've seen it million times and it still freaks me out.

Even though he directed only two episodes, I really like the music Jim Sayegh uses in the scenes.

I don't know why either, dmarex. Unless Lowell returns either to whisk Gloria away, rape Lauren, or ultimately cause Michael to be disbarred, frankly, I'm not going to care.

You know, that didn't occur to me, TC? But now that it has...? I think you're right. And certainly, given the way Drucilla "died," I don't know if Devon and Lily would be so happy to recollect their (heretofore unknown) trip to the woods w/o mentioning where and how their mother "died", either.

Actually, that (Lowell coming to Genoa City as a wealthy man) might have its' advantages. At the very least, if he were to win Gloria back, that would put an end to her days as a shopgirl out of a bad Ginger Rogers movie (because, let me tell you, if/when she gets fired again from Jabot, there's only one place for her to go, and that's to the Newman ranch as a maid, and I know I don't care to see Gloria as Victor's maid).

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Gloria as Victor's maid... :lol: Good chuckle. That would just be hilarious...

Just imagine the a amazing love story that could erupt... :P:lol:

Maybe Victor will fall in love, then Gloria's "terrible-Lowell" will arrive in Genoa City, Victor will kill him, and you know the rest...

HT is a brilliant actress, but her version of Victoria was not the least bit likeable - she was an immature, selfish bitch for her entire tenure on the show.

CK is an enormous improvement over DS, who put absolutely NO emotion into her performances. I remember a scene where Lily asked Daniel if he was seeing someone else, and she said it as if she were saying "you want sugar in your coffee?". No emotion at all. Most of the time she looked like she really didn't want to be there.

AL is a good actress, but she was NEVER Colleen. Her version of Colleen was a bitch, much like HT's Victoria. TS is brilliant - she has made Colleen likeable for the first time since Lyndsy Fonseca.

I have a right to express my opinion without being ridiculed by you. :angry:

I was a fan of TS long before she joined Y&R, and she gets more crap from fans than any other actor on the show. I know what she is capable of given the right material, and that is why I get defensive of her.

No, the CS and Reliquary SLs were not quality. The Carmen SL was okay. But the SLs are not the actors' fault.

I have been watching Y&R since the 90s, so I don't need to watch clips. And yes, I am enjoying it now as much as I ever did.

Now THAT I agree with!

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
