Members Sylph Posted October 26, 2008 Members Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is very unfair, dmarex! I was just waiting for YRBB to open both the B&B and Y&R thread and you come in and spoil it all! I actually have yet to understand this fixation with opening weekly threads. For a change, I'd like to see MarkH or someone open a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 Seen Monday's show already! Yay to Kay/Marge flashbacks! That Jack Abbott is one devious bastard, I'm actually enjoying the Victor story from the Jack/Adam angle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 The Kay/Marge stuff is great. The flashbacks are wonderful. It's a celebration of Jeanne Cooper! I'm also really digging the Jack/Adam stuff, they're both so awful, they deserve each other! And again, I am even starting to *like* Heinle as Victoria. I am still dumbfounded as to what exactly happened...but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 The Marge storyline is excellent. I have to admit that up until this point, I have always thought Jeanne Cooper to be somewhat overrated. Now I'm beginning to see that I was wrong. I'm beginning to lose faith that they will EVER update the opening credits. Less than half the cast is featured. The most glaring omission is Kristoff St. John (his reels were dropped when Victoria Rowell left). There are four alternating reels at the moment and Michelle Stafford is in all of them. And as much as I love MS, that ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heyou Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 The only thing that I even remotely like about the Victor storyline is Jack and Adam. I just do not care for the old man and even as much as I like MTS, I'm sick to death of the Newman's! I've ALWAYS loved Jeanne Cooper and I'm so excited she is getting a meatier storyline (it's about damn time!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 DaytimeFan, I really think in the past few months AH has really stepepd it up. I have come to love her as Victoria, and as much as i love heather Tom i have to be honest, i dont want her back. Because i do not think they will ever write for her victoria the way they should. As for the opening, at this point id prefer a title card to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just caught Monday Jill Kay/Marge Esther Adam Victoria Nikki Jack Gloria Jeffrey Victor Katherine/Marge was gold.Intrigued as to how this story will play out.Katherine gave Marge her card with cell phone number.How did Marge contact her in the first place?was it a call to the office? Gina should be a part of this in some way,as she was married to and betrayed by Clint. Good to see Adam challenging Jack-laying groundwork for long term rivalry. Victor in the church-pleeeaase!! Like the dynamics between Gloria and Jeff.She has to pay for her misdeeds in some way. Where is Brad? Does anyone know the name of the actor playing Frank the forger?

Members BadZoe Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I would like it if they made Kay and Marge long lost sisters and had it be that Katherine's mother or father was just like her and gave away/sold one of the children. Maybe they were doing an experiment on twins or something. Due to some recent casting news they should either reverse the Cane is Phillip stuff or write that they were also twins and Katherine just thinks she gave away the one and only Phillip. Although I gotta laugh at the idea that Nina is in her mid 30's or that Cane is not a totally old pervert chasing a young virgin, I mean innocent, like Lily. Except all these convenient family re-writes is becoming a bit like AMC, which turned me away with its storyline reversals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I was thinking about that today....until I remembered Kay has had plastic surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well, just tightening...not face altering. I think they actually played one of my all-time favorite pieces of Y&R music during Kay and Marge's final scene. That WAS an old school piece of music, right?

Members MTSRocks Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 ^^LoL I have no clue Mark, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Jeanne Cooper is rocking at 80! And KUDOS to the makeup department, as well as Cooper herself, in making the difference between Marge/Katherine seem effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here's Blanco's opinions on why everyone should watch Y&R now (like anyone ever asked). Admittedly, he almost had me until he started bashing Heinle, Khalil and Sursok. Jackass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 That Branco column was funny. My favorite line was "Heck — I could play the aforementioned roles better than their current portrayers. In fact, my dead grandmother could — and win an Emmy!" Right on, Y&R is mostly stellar except when it comes to the odd bits of dead weight that have to be propped up constantly. I also liked the Lily's back part, was she even gone for a day? Plus, more Billy please. Why is it we get overloaded with the bad actors and the new good actor gets dished out like an expensive truffle, in small little doses??

Members Paul Raven Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yes! It was an old trademark Y&R music piece. Is this Paul Rauch's influence?I say that because MAB has been around for awhile and this is showing up now. We have to add Kate Linder to the list of performers who've had work done.She hardly looked any different in the 1990 flashbacks. Colleen/Daniel/Amber/Lily etc are definite backburner characters at the moment. Hopefully they are there while the writers plan out some interesting developments.
