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!

    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.
