Y&R: Week of July 21, 2008

[MTSRocks]

^^^We still get previews here in Canada. But we don't get the "Sudden Impact" countdown.

ETA: Cane and Lily's new place looks like the old break room at Newman. BLAH!

If I remeber right all they did was drop the version(s) both were in, but they never updated them,

[DeeeDee]

Nope.

They updated them.

[Ms. Chandler Quartermaine]

I must admit...I truly bought Victor & Sabrina as a couple today, I can really see now why they came together. Her talk with him was really good dialouge...I have been really enjoying Sabrina.

Grant A. Johnson directed Wednesday's US episode, I hope they keep him. Johnson and Jim Sayegh have been fabulous additions to the directing team. They need to stop this freelancing crap and hire these two outright.

I notice Phideaux Xavier hasn't directed for Y&R since May, but directed Monday's GH. I guess he's no longer freelancing for Y&R.

Watching Monday's episode, I noticed a different set-up at the coffee house.

What happened to Cassie's photo? It was replaced with some painting.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Cassie's photo has been gone since the final months of the Latham regime. However, they bring it back out at least once a year to remember Cassie's death.

I wish they'd just stop mentioning Cassie already. She is a painful reminder of one of the most horrific tragedies in Y&R history (Shick).

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Well, I hate both Phick and Shick...

If anything, the Shick bond is stronger because of Noah, since he is biologically their only kid together.

Cassie should be remembered though, her death continues to effect the show and viewers watched her grow up for the most part.

[y&r_fan]

Phick has a child too (albeit an ugly child ) - Summer.

[LondonScribe]

I want to get the general feeling on here to something that is being banded around as fact elsewhere...

There is a growing consensus that Hogan Sheffer is being seen as/treated by viewers as the show's main Head Writer and that he is leading Maria Arena Bell down 'his' path.

It's obvious he's had an immediate impact but is it really 'his' show we are seeing or will see post the 'Sudden Impact' clear-up/re-tooling? (and I suspect that is what it is)

Just wanted to get some thoughts.

[JackPeyton]

once the char's are back to being pods you will know its hogans show.

hogan, from what i have read, was brought on to soap it up and thats it.

[Cat]

Yay! Somebody else who is growing to like Sabrina. I like her too and actually feel sorry for her. Although VicBrina's wuv talk still makes me LOL. "Mmmmmm." "Mmmmmm." "Je t'aime." "Mmmmmmm, mon amour."

[JackPeyton]

i actually really like her.

and i think they should brad her baby daddy.

[rhythmchyc]

Once I saw her persuade Adam not to convince Victor to give Nick and Victoria back their inheritance, it became clear that she was no Lady Macbeth. And helping Daniel out, even as he's an employee of the magazine that defamed her. I guess with all the greed and deception going on at Y&R under LML, I didn't think such a character could exist. She was pure right down to her white dress today.
