Members denniel Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 I love that this thread is on page 13. It's been a while since the message boards have been this active about the show--and positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lmfan Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 I don't want to see Nikki fall of the wagon, but if she does it would totally makes sense storywise. The same thing happpened with Neil after Dru died but they did not follow through with his drinking. I am not sure what they are going to do with Nikki but she is sure taking many hits lately.

Members PJA Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 Phyllis is not an outsider who has to fight to get what she wants because she already has it. Now of course the writers could take a plot driven approach and give Phyllis a reason to plot and scheme like she did in the past but of course I'd rather they take the character driven approach. If and when something threatens her marriage to Nick the "fighter" will come back out of her. Her plotting against Amber definitley worked as well so she's still not above scheming to get what she wants. Of course her schemes are nothing like they were in the past but they didnt' have to be and she still got the result she wanted, Daniel and Amber broken up.

Members denniel Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 I doubt we've seen the last of the Amber/Phyllis fued. I think it could be an interesting. And if you add the spoilerd , Michelle could have some good material. Plus, it could add tension to Phick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 We're never going to get any tension for Phick, just like we're never gonna get any for Lickey (despite Tracey E. Bregman BEGGING for it). I think there's an agenda with TPTB that certain couples always have to be happy, and I don't get it or think it's helping the show any. I personally want Nick and Phyllis over with, I see nothing in them that makes them remotely entertaining and whatever chemistry they had during the affair has fizzled big time. The day they're broken up and given new partners is the day I can't wait for. And no, that doesn't mean Nick goes back with Sharon and Phyllis goes back with Jack. Some of us actually can't stand all 4 of those characters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members denniel Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 I feel certain that Nick and Phyllis will have some angst soon. JMO. Lauren and Michael have had nothing for a couple of years. In that time, Phick has had an ice storm birth, Dru going off a ledge, blackmailing, amnesia and prison. For all of these reasons alone they need to be blackburned. LML wrote for them quite a bit. I want more of Michael and Lauren. I hope the new storyline for Michael brings something really good for them. And too many people hate Nick and Phyllis for them not to get story with tension.

Members BadZoe Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 On a side note, my one beef with last weeks shows was Amber. I found that while everyone was very emotional over Sabrina dying, it was out of place to have Amber crying and blubbering over her failed relationship with Daniel. Couldn't that have waited for another episode? I laughed during all her scenes because her pain and suffering was nothing compared to the grief of losing to death, a friend/wife/business associate. Pretty much the rest of the episode(s) I spent crying. Not because I was attached to Sabrina, but the loss of any decent young adult is a sad thing.

Members MarkH Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 It is clear they have put Phyllis on a path to self-destruction...and in a conflict with Amber. (The last person who crossed Amber got dumped in a frozen pit and almost died). So, I fully expect bad things with Nick and Phyllis. My personal expectation, with Daniel "broken up", is that Amber will seduce Nick. I can't wait. As for Michael and Lauren...expect NOTHING in that relationship (except Bregman as support) until the actress agrees to sign a contract. As long as she is recurring, "Likey" will be as they are. AND I APPROVE of that. One stable couple is NEEDED. Lastly, I love (individually) each member of the Quad. I love Phick. I am warming to Shack. There are MANY people like me (maybe not at SON). So, if they grant your wish to break up the Quad, they'll lose people like me. That is a difficult line to straddle. So, I doubt you'll ever be fully satisfied :-). I think the long-term "end game" IS Nick and Sharon, much as I prefer Phick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes. Why? Because it is so obvious, so easy to write. Instead of inventing something new, we're going to see the same story for a character, v2.0. I'd rather skip it and focus on something else.

Members YRBB Posted August 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 Phyllis being so judgemental was sooooo weird. And the Adrian/Jack confrontation would have been cool, had EP been able to stand his ground against PB. Unfortunately, it was so uneven, Adrian came off as a spoiled child, complaining about not getting his lollipop. Nikki's dream was ultra freaky, i.e. highly enjoyable, soapy, and fantastic! I almost got a heartattack when I realized that Lauren would finally talk about a different storyline other than Gloria's! Who would have thought that's possible? By the way, TEB's reaction to the news of Sabrina's baby was just amazing. In those few seconds, she just made me want to see her in a front-burner story more than ever! And how lovely that they're using this death to start new stories, like Michael realizing he has to find his father (I'd have him fall in love and terrorize Lauren just to give TEB something to do ) and Victor blaming Nikki... (Braeden was so heartbreaking). Nikki couldn't have walked into the room in a worse moment. That scene, the writing, the blocking, the music, the reactions, was absolutely old school Y&R, and a total classic. What a way to end the week!

Members sheilaforever Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm rather late for the tea party but I just managed to watch Friday's cliffhanger... Victor sitting next to his dead wife, Nikki entering room, him turning around, glaring with the greatest anger and condescendence at her... Cue: soap staring; extra long, classic score. Y&R is back! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted August 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 True. I guess though that it felt more like listening to Christine being judgemental than Phyllis... *yikes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
