Y&R: Week of July 28, 2008


Recommended Posts

I just love, love, love Y&R right now. This s/l has been so satisfying and engaging. Nikki is in for quite a lot of turmoil. Jill is going to CRUCIFY her. Victor is going to rip her to shreds. And only Paul will be there by her side. I love Nikki and Paul together and with Victor's vendetta against Heather I am really looking forward to a possible Newman/Williams feud. But I also wouldn't mind seeing Nikki alone for a while. She's had so many bad/dangerous men in her life. I think the tease that Y&R will change forever is that Victor's family is no longer the wronged party - but Victor. And he's going to become extremely nefarious and evil for a bit. if that's the case - sign me up. Nothing on soaps is as good as when Victor is out for revenge.

I read an interview with Raya Meddine who felt she had some beautiful scenes with Jana who is the only one who seems to accept the Sabrina is dying. I think these scenes will probably be Thursday.

I really liked CLB's subtle work these last few days not only as Victor's lawyer but friend. Besides Neil, I think Michael is the only other one Victor trusts to get things done, and I think EB and CLB have nice chemistry. They've come a long way from Michael being that "sheister lawyer" Victor hated. I think Michael recognizes Victor's denial as he went through the same thing with Lauren and feels compassion for Victor and all the Newmans. We need CLB to interact more with characters other than Gloria.

Ooohh excellent. I can't wait to see those! I think killing her off is going to backfire. However, at least the deaths this year are more sensible and organic.

The last time I liked Victor going for revenge was when he found out Phyllis and Nick had been screwing each other. He was coming off the elevator, Phyllis was going about to go down, and he said something along the lines of, "Going down. Tell my secretary where I should send your things." Not exact words, but an awesome scene. Too bad that had to fizzle so quickly, hell the whole affair exposure fizzled rapidly!

Jess was great on tomorrow's US show with her facial reactions. I loved her!

those scenes will be great. I'm loving RM right now, she looks more beautiful on her death bed than she did for the majority of her run. And what's with the continuous dying pretty trend? First Hope, now Sabrina. I don't mind it that much, but I wish we could get some more realism, like Matt Clarke.

I am glad that CLB reigned it in for this story. Then again, it's not his story so maybe that's why. Either case he's been good. I'm also enjoying the ramifications of the whole David fiasco, it has much more promise.

ETA: What I like about the whole David story is that it's tying up loose ends, and unlike past tragedies everyone is not just all forgiving. Victor is still mad as hell, Nick doesn't care much for Victor, Nikki/Victor are not all lovey dovey etc etc.

Tuesday's episode was good as well.

It will probably be a temporary thing (unfortunately), but I noticed they appear to have dispensed with the crappy, teeny-bopper music. It has been mainly the dramatic, emotional pieces, along with a smattering of the 'mystery' (wrong word, I know) scores.

Time will not permit me to do a full analysis, but I'm enjoying the shows more now. Just hope it doesn't fall back into bad habbits when the aftermath dies down.

Yup. They're boring when they have nothing to do, and they're boring when they have an actual storyline. Seeing Cane drunk a few weeks ago made me realize that he could be bad, tricky or the old "Ethan" he was in Australia. But instead, he's this good boy with a boring girlfriend. Who'd want to watch that? Go Chloe! ;)

I am loving the show right now. I'm even loving Sabrina (but don't get me wrong, I'll be happy she she *spoiler*)

Jess Walton's upcoming storyline looks fantastic. She and Don Diamont have excellent chemistry, I'd love for Brad and Jill to end up in bed, not as a couple, but a random hook up thanks to a few too many martinis. It'd be grand.

Everyone has been selling their material like a used car salesman at the end of the month.

And with that, I have made my 1,000 post!

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
