Y&R: Week of August 18, 2008

Can they replace Victoria with Heather Tom's Victoria? The sibling story is great but AH's Victoria is annoying and shrill. Some of that is the writing but a lot of it is the actress. Still loving Adam and Heather v. Nick and Victoria.

I keep thinking how classic the Lilly/Cane/Chloe story is and yet how the actors drag it down. They need a much stronger actor to play Cane. Someone who can hold his own with Jill and Katherine.

It's been awhile since I posted but once again I am trying to get back into the soaps (AMC is still awful to me but much better without McTavish but anyway) but I been faithful to watching Y&R and I have to disagree. I don't think Amelia is shrill at all and I am loving her in this role.

I loved how Vikki handled Adam today. She didn't break a sweat. He all but jumped up and down having a tantrum and she was calm cool and collected and still managed to walk all over him. I loved it and it proves you don't have to yell and be a raving lunatic to be effective haha. I get some want the "old" Victoria but if the writers wanted her to be more aggressive they would write it in and the director would tell that to Amelia ( I still remember the scene Victoria had with Sharon when she found out about her kissing Brad and I think that showed that if Amelia was really asked to be "vicious" she could do it). Before Amelia even started to do scenes as Victoria they reported in TV guide that the show was taking Victoria in another direction and wanted to display a more vulnerable side. IMO Amelia has done what was written for her and I personally think she's done it very well and made Victoria her own, but JMO :)

The Cane guy I agree with but I actually was rooting for him and Amber and I guess I still am. I don't like him and Lily or Amber and Daniel at all.

Re Karen - I really like her and wish they would keep her on. Nia is an amazing talent. I just think her char needs soem work, a history, and a plan. She seems like the type that can be easily moved from group to group - i could see her with brad, jack, niel, cane, just about anyone.

The show did well by pairing up Adam and Heather. Aside from family conflict, the pairing brought life back into Heather, and it gave Adam a new side. I'm glad Y&R found a great match as these two are. I was a bit worried they might be a lot of them, but I now keep thinking there isn't enough. ;) Bring on the drama (but the good kind, of course).

And I disagree with the fact that Vail only has her looks working for her. If it's summer they should use that. I'm kinda bummed that it's mostly men who get the shirtless scenes, women should have more of that too.

IA. I think there's not enough Adam/Heather either, but we did get 2 days in a row this week! :)

Somehow I doubt that. Peeples' site said she will work until September and then they'll see. But they ain't actually giving the actress much chance. They don't use the character much, they don't even try to give her much depth. I like Karen, I like the actress, but it's sad seeing what they're doing with her.

I love Nia Peeples. The montage they had a few weeks ago (or last week, can't remember) with Ana singing to her was great. She didn't have to say a word - it was all in her reaction to this child singing her the song her mother used to sing to her. I definitely think she has potential and hope (probably against hope) that TPTB will keep her around.

And we'll be getting a storyline tomorrow too, and I feel like there's a chance it won't be that storyline everyone was buzzing about. It may be something else.

I feel like the only reason they asked her to come back was for Tyra's storyline. Otherwise, they aren't trying to do anything else with the character.

Seems like the new teens cast, along with Noah are:

Rane Jameson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2628409/

Jordan Potter http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1682947/

Erin Sanders http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1139258/

Hey cool---where did you hear that one from? I'm thinking they would be recurring...

And I've got to say, I wasn't that impressed with Ameilia and her recent scenes--she's done better, but all this is doing is make me actually root for Adam more, and I never thought I'd say that. And I'm actually ok with the screen time of Adam and Heather right now, because it's not an overload, and when we do get them, I'm really excited to watch.

yrnews.biz.... they got a good cast list... and yes, they're all recurring, Noah also.

Only one girl out the bunch. I wonder if somebody turning gay & if one of their names is Sam.

Rane plays 'Ben', Jordan plays 'Matt', and Erin will play 'Eden'. No mention of Sam.

I guess we got our answer to the Nikki/Victor stuff...

"When Nikki isn't drowning her sorrows in the local cantina or drunk-dialing Katherine, she's staggering along the beach hoping for some sign of Victor, " Scott says. "He finally turns up and we have scenes that are very Scarlett and Rhett, and I don't mean that in a romantic way, but in the true sickness that was Scarlett and Rhett. It's really good stuff -- like classic Y&R from 20 years ago."

OK then. That has piqued my curiosity. I hope it plays out well on screen.

I have no doubt that MTS and EB will do great. We'll see how the writers handle it.

I can not believe that Y&R is getting preempted again today because of Fay. I mean, all they are doing is repeating the same thing over and over and over and over......

Ugh. :huh::huh:

I'm loving Katherine today. Hell, I'm loving the show today, a nice blend of characters. Oh, and I look forward to that Nikki/Victor spoiler.
