Y&R: Week of September 22, 2008

I think it is believed to be related to chronic fatigue syndrome can make it impossible for people to function and even get out of bed at times. It can also damage the heart and can cause other organs to swell. It is also transmitted through swapping spit, but Y&R will never acknowledge that.

Since this is no longer a spoiler, I'm removing the tags.

I'm starting to find Holleen is preferable to this Eden. I just finished Y&R, Thursday US, and she seemed worse than before. I'm now starting to think about taping this show just to get her off my screen. Was this character even necessary to bring on?

Loved the scenes with Victor and Nick today. Nick being torn between respecting his fathers wishes and feeling the need to help him....it was great to watch Eric and Joshua. I don't have a clue what happened in Mexico but whatever it is I've not seen Victor this down in ages. If ever. I also enjoyed seeing Raya today also. I miss her and the beauty she brought to the show.

I completely agree about the Eden chick. Anyone that thinks Noah's a loser doesn't deserve my time or my respect. Loved Noah's response though. :D

Okay, I see your point (have now watched it).

But, with Eden, we're told she is "psycho bitch from hell" (Noah), "angry girl" (Michael), and "scared" (Lauren).

She is SUPPOSED to be nasty, and we're SUPPOSED to understand it as a defense. She is SUPPOSED to be dislikable.

Now, I'll buy what you say--it is true--I didn't perceive that vulnerability. If she NEVER comes down from this attitude, I will be with you. But I'm going to give the script a bit of a chance to let her show some range.

But I personally loved much of the rest of it. I'm loving Adam and Jack together like nobody's business...and I sure hope they retcon Adam into Jack's son :).

I also think this new Noah--whom I was prepared to hate, because I really liked Hunter Allan--is just ideal. Perfection as as a young teen with a bit of Nick's humorous attitude. He is a better actor than Joshua Morrow as at this age.

I had silly fun with Sharon and Phyllis. It was meant to be a fun scene illustrating the problems between the ladies...and it was also meant to sort of confirm Noah's perception that girls are crazy. It worked on both scores.

I think your fantasy is a bit extreme and mean spirited for any holiday show especially for Michael who is a decent man, so I hope we don't see anything like that.

I don't get why people get so worked up about Gloria having scenes in the Abbott home. The fact is if this show bothered to give Gloria a real set instead of the absurd pool house we wouldn't be seeing her use the Abbott house. I get the anger when she was living there and trying to take the mansion from Jack. But what we are seeing now is caused by a ridiculous use of sets especially for the Baldwin-Fisher family. Kevin's apartment is merely Michael and Lauren's apt set reconfigured and hasn't been seen in months, Gloria is living in a pool house, Michael has lost his office and Lauren's boutique is rarely on. You can't have every Baldwin-Fisher scene in Lauren and Michael's apartment or at the Athletic Club or coffeehouse.

I was fully prepared to despise the new Noah, Hunter Allen was a great little actor, but I'm pleasantly surprised. The Noah we have now has some of Sharon's sweetness and (for lack of better phrasing) what I'd imagine to be Nick's appreciation of bathroom humor. He's very natural and the writing he's been given makes him sound like a teen, not too young, not too old, just right. Well done MAB, HS and whoever hired him!

Now Eden on the other hand...What. A. Disaster. Hate the actress, hate the character, hate the storyline. HATE IT! Time to ship her off to the ashram!

I really like the Adam/Jack buddy buddy thing...historically Jack has been a pseudo father to many of Victor's children, so it's all just a case of history repeating.

In Thursday's US episode, is it me or is the lighting at Crimson Lights and the hospital very Rauch-ish? Everything was so bright.

ETA: I went back to watch some hospital scenes from July and it definitely looks different!

I figured it might make you cross. To be fair, though, she -- like you -- is expressing her opinion. And I noticed she was pretty much an equal opportunities offender. Daniel (or Porniel as she calls him) got it in the neck, as did Amber and Lily to a lesser extent.

Unfortunately, Tammin's performance is not winning over fans in the blogsphere. On the upside for you and other fans of TS, she has got everybody buzzing. TPTB are looking at all the threads about Colleen and rubbing their hands. Enraged viewer = engaged viewer and all that.

    • Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
