Y&R: Week of November 17, 2008

Julianna McCarthy is hands down of the greatest actresses to hit daytime. Wildly underappreciated. I would love to see her get "Regular Recurring" status, her chemistry with Jess Walton and Billy Miller is off the charts fantastic. Marla Adams would also be a welcome addition, she could easily fill the John Abbott role (except instead of being a wonderful loving father, she'd be a snobby bitch of a mother, love it!)

Yay! Nina is at the will reading! I really would like Tricia Cast to stay permanently, she's great!

The script for Monday's episode has gone through so many hands (per the credits) that it HAD to be as fabulous as it was. What an awesome episode.

Oh and I LOVE Hysterical Nikki, her performance in that one particular scene is excellent. Jess Walton is playing Regretful Jill superbly.

And I know I sound like a broken record and I'm the only one saying it...but Kate Linder has been wonderful! She deserves a round of applause. So natural, so deeply sad. Pitch perfect.

I knew the background music played during the eulogies was familiar! I was just looking at the 1990 Y&R Christmas episode and it was played just before Nikki brings a little Nicholas to visit Victor as a surprise. That piece of music hasn't been played for a while, and it's existed for like two decades, good to hear it used!

When Ryan was having an affair with Tricia, Jill tried to help Nina get him back to reunite her grandsons family. She told Nina she had let herself go and got her a gym membership! :P I never saw Nina's exit, so I'm not sure where the relationship was at the end, but I'd be willing to bet they were just civil for the sake of Phillip. I always thought the three (including Katherine) were cute together. Nina took everything in stride and was a lot happier dealing with them than most would be. It's also a story that allowed Jill and Kay to bond pre-Mother/Daughter retcon.

IMO Dina and Nina both need to stay full time. To pay you can cut Karen, Devon (or give him a real story), Colleen (or recast), JT, Jana, Kevin and even wrap up Jeffrey and Gloria's story. Then you have Michael Grazaidei who will leave when his contract is up. That should be enough money for those two plus Victoria Rowell.

LOL. But we can't bring these old characters back!!! They're all over 39! (just kidding)

    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road
