Y&R: Week of July 28, 2008

[marla0518]

and yet Y & R's ratings are rising, with strong fanbases for Lily and Cane, Heather and Adam, Lauren and Michael and Nick and Phyllis.....

again, with out fans there is no need for the show, because no one would watch!!!

You know, the only person in this discussion getting nasty seems to be you.

People are stating their opinions, and because you don't agree, you're telling everyone how wrong they are.....and in a quite nasty way.

Why is that? Just wondering.

I think I'm going to take your advice and get back on topic.

[marla0518]

how is stating my OPINION being Nasty??? I have seen alot of Phyllis and Nick bashing but have yet to see them chastized by you....why is that???

If some one bashes my favorite character I will take up for that character..plain and simple.

[Roman]

ANYway......

The writing on the show seems to be improving. It will be interesting to see what Victor does do. I PRAY it turns into one huge story. That's what Y&R needs right now.

[Ryan]

IMO the reason for Y&R's rating increases has nothing to do with fan bases. The fact is Y&R is telling very good stories that are drawing people in. Y&R has never been a "fan base" type of show, where the ratings fluctuate depending on who is on for the week or who is paired with who. Y&R's greatest strength was their decision to NOT fall into the trap the other soaps did, and allow their fan bases to determine what will or what won't play out on screen.

I was talking about this with some friends of mine on the phone the other day. Y&R usually lets couples run their course. Even if they're not working (ie Brad/Victoria), they play them out until they serve their purpose in the story.

Y&R right is better than it has been in months. There's great character drama (as it has been for months), but there are also things happening and that is what is making the show good.

[DeeeDee]

Eh. No.

In no way shape, fashion or form does Giggly Heffa ever "tell it like it is".

She is the Carly Corinthos of Y&R.

Phyllis is NOTHING like Drucilla.

Nothing

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window..

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray,

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me, that it's not so bad,

it's not so bad..

[DeeeDee]

Didn't you know?

Sharon has to be evil to justify the psycho wankfest that is Nick & Phyllis.

[Ryan]

Not for me. I hate Sharon with a passion (and don't really need a reason), but I don't blame her for the Phick affair.

[DeeeDee]

AMEN!

[DeeeDee]

[marla0518]

sounds to be like you are contradicting yourself...you don't dislike Phyllis, you call her a Giggly Heffa??!??!

Well, Phyllis is STILL a major character on the show and Drucilla is....Not!!! I personally don't miss her at all!! but she was good fodder and even when Sharon pushed her over the cliff, it was good for a laugh!!! legs flaring and arms flaring and that stupid hat still stuck on her head!!!! too bad she did not take Sharon on the journey into the afterworld with her!!!

The writing lately has gotten better, still needs some major tweaking and I can't wait to see how Noah coming back as a teenager or "adult" is going to effect the mix, Sharon won't being needing to drop by to tuck him in anymore!!!! and I totally love Chloe messing with LAME!!! classic Bill Bell!!! and Elizabeth Hendrickson is a gem !!!

[DeeeDee]

...And?

LMAO.

Nice try.

[Roman]

So.....

how bout them Yankees, huh?

[marla0518]

sorry I am a Cub fan!!!

and even with Pudge on the team...I'm from Texas....I can't root for those DAMN Yankee's!!!

If Nick and Phyllis feel so strongly about the Sabrina article then why don't they take their share of the profits for the issue ago to Victor and explain that they never agreed to the article changes, but can't change what happened so would like to donate their share of the profits to a charity Sabrina would have supported in her name to make up for waht happened.

Frankly, Nick and Phyllis had every right to be mad at first, but this constant lecturing, especially on Phyllis' part is getting redundant. Not to mention it is hard to listen to Phyllis go on and on about how poorly Jack behaved considering all the stunts she had pulled with little consideration to who would be hurt by her actions.

Still, if Phyllis and Nick donated their share of the profits at least they would be putting their money where their mouths are. Until then, they need to shut up. Jack is being a jerk, but he is the one who is going to look bad. We don't need Phyllis and Nick judging other people's morality.
