Members rangethatrover Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 God I am sick of Gloria. Send her away forever. So over the actress and the character. But the rest of the show is sublime. I get excited everytime an old Y&R score comes on! They seem to be using the classics mostly with Kay/Marge.. As always the show is looking amazing. I cannot agree more. And Y&R always had the nicest looking presents on daytime!!! Whoever wraps their "gifts" deserves an emmy. Bows the size of watermelons!

Members a2sassy Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 I agree and once she saw the kiss in paris she's just been even more teetering on the edge. First her ripping Jack for daring to show up at her door with his crap and then tearing up the house and cleaning up before Nick got home. You can tell that homegirl ain't all quite there anymore and the "happy" Phyllis she's made herself become the past few years is disappearing and you seee some of the Danny-era Phyllis, just a more controlled crazy. I'm just waiting for Phyllis to accidently call Sharon "The Bug". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MTSRocks Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Honestly, I think the makeup dept and Judith Chapman deserve a big kudos for the way Gloria looks right now. JC is kind of making me feel for Gloria here. I still want her to suffer, but JC is playing the role so in character, it's making the story just more effective. Only Gloria would evoke the sympathy card when it suits her purpose. When she was doing all those terrible things she schemed and laughed her way through it. I think Gloria should go the way of the sublime Sabryn Genet, BATSH!T crazy, and locked up in a psych ward. JC would KILL that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've felt that way for the better part of three years now. The minute Latham tore down the Abbotts for her and her sons is the day Glo lost any long serving purpose for me. Lock her up, and throw away the key. So glad MAB and Co. have brought the Abbotts back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rangethatrover Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Oh I just wanna love on Deeedee and Adam right now! I am just not a Fisher family fan... I find them all tired, unappealing...they are all creepy to different degrees. What Y&R has always done best is write complicated characters. No one is a pure heroine, pure bitch, one note--- which I do appreciate. But these three Fishers are just icky to me. I don't root for them, care about them, like them. They are not the type of characters I would expect Y&R to give such a large part of the show to. They are boring. And I have NEVER bought Lauren and Michael as a couple either. Rings false. Gloria isn't a bitch I love to hate. She isn't funny. She isn't particularly evil. She is annoying to me. Nor am I a fan of Judith Chapman's acting choices. I know she is an excellent bawler (She cries brilliantly) I just loathe the character. I don't feel bad for her or root for her. Just my opinion. And I find Tyra Banks Winters also completely annoying. BUT- this girl could be an amazing loony. They would be smart to turn her into Genoa City's new Phyllis Winters (circa 1994) or Sheila Carter with at least some redeemability. I am missing a good old fashioned psycho woman on Y&R and my other show OLTL. I love them! lollll I cound so SIMPLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 One thing: As LONG as it took for this face cream to come out, I'm happy that it finally did with this new regime. I doubt if LML had gotten around to it that she would have done justice to it. And Eileen Davidson KILLED that opening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have to commend the music selection on this show again. Even the newer pieces are very much in the vein of the classic Y&R scores. Very much sweeping material. And yes, Gloria is extra creepy, and it's so nice to see her suffering. I loved the look on her face when Ashley told her that they were going to sue her for everything she's worth. It took 3 years, but Gloria is finally being called out for what she is. No one, not even Michael or Ghost John, is propping her. Whoever does Eileen Davidson's botox deserves an award. She looks the best she has in years. Also, the wardrobe department is really dressing her nicely again. You wouldn't know this is a woman turning 50 soon. Phyllis is slowly slipping back into the borderline psycho arena. She looks like she's about to crack and run over Nick and Sharon with a car soon. LOL! So nice to see a Phyllis that is entertaining, not some snotty housewife Latham and Griffith tried to force on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 I can't believe Jess Walton is turning 60! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 She's another one whose botox surgeon deserves an award! She looks fierce for a woman pushing 60. Jill has really come alive again in recent months. I get the sense that the morale on the Y&R set is really good these days. I know most of the cast bragged to Logan how happy they are with the show right now. Most of the actors seem alert and actually fond of most of the material they're getting. This is especially true for the women on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 YES!!!! I know. I forgot to comment on that. I am loving my Red Head again! I didn't recognize the character the last time I saw her. Latham just totally butchered her among many of the shows leading characters. The way she glared at Sharon and just prompty told her to get lost in a roundabout way. Oh I love that fire! Michelle is looking great with the straight hair too.

Members BadZoe Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think Melody went away to a fat farm for a few weeks, she is looking much better than she has in a year. While I thought, at first, maybe it was a plastic surgeon, the change is all over, not just the reduction in the jaw jowls. John has been orange since Halloween, when I referred to him as pumpkin head. Just catching up on the week on the Global website, this week has been THE BEST. Y&R definitely deserves to win the Emmy for best show. Can't wait for new Abby, she looks like she could be Ashley's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members corrsfan01 Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 this week should so bee Judith Chapman's emmy real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lmfan Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Judith was great in that last scene when she was talking about karma coming back to get her. She wanted to bring down Ashley and Jack and yet brought down herself. So true. I also found the reactions of Michael, Kevin and Jana interesting. Jana looks disgusted. Kevin looks like he just wants to do anything so she doesn't crack and bring him down, and Michael looks like he does not even want to defend her. Like he is detached from what is going on with her even though he will defend her. Very good Baldwin-Fisher storylines this week. It seems Maria Bell salvaged the River storyline by having it used to have Gloria finally get caught and hopefully detach her family from continuously propping her. I hope they make Lauren the same way. She has been far too sympathetic to Gloria over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
