Members Heyou Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 I missed the show today but I will definitely catch it on Soapnet since it sounds so good. I think Billy could actually make Lily likable; I just hope they don't start dumbing him down as they did with Cane just to suit her. She needs to step it up a notch, take a cue from Vail.

Members MoTheGreat Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 If any another storyline or actress get my attention I'll comment on it. The reason why I comment on Lily because there nothing new with Lily or her storyline. When things don't work out with Billy I bet the Latin guy is next. I just want Lily to really examine herself & find something she can do for herself. & stop depending on guys for her happiness. I except more from Dru daughter. Dru, was a go getter. Niel is a buttkisser but at least he knows what he wants when it comes to business. Malcolm & Olivia had other things going for them. I don't care about Colleen so you don't see me comment to much on her. I like both Chloe & Amber but I think both cando their best when they go up against somebody like a Mini Phylis, Dru, Jill, Katherine. I like Michael but couldn't stand him after his mother came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 Going back a few eppy's- Can someone explain the dog that appeared in the Abbott house that Sharon set onto Jeffrey? Is the cast too big or is MAB having trouble integrating characters? The following have hardly been on for weeks,if not months Daniel/Amber Victoria/JT Colleen Brad The whole Neil/Karen/Tyra story gets a few days play then disappears. Surely Victoria could have more involvement-she wasn't at Summers birthday,hasn't had any involvement with Nikki's traumas etc Is it a budget thing?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 That's Noah's dog Fisher. He's hardly on. He's been on the show for like a year and Gloria did poison him earlier this year. They've never written for this Colleen since you know who took over the role, she's hardly in more than 3 episodes a month. Brad hasn't had much to do this year, I'm sure he'll be on more when Daniel and Amber did get heavy play in November and they're on at least once or twice in most weeks. Neil/Karen/Tyra are usually on once or twice a week, sometimes three times a week. B storyline material obviously. The cast is huge though, and they could stand to write a few characters off. I'm sure budget has to do with a lot of things, since they've been plugging V8 like crazy lately. There has also been a heavy focus on main veterans lately, so a few of the supporting and newer characters aren't getting much play, not that I'm complaining.

Members LondonScribe Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 Although Amber's dream was downright odd (in a mildly amusing OTT way), the music used in the final bit was really old. I mean, it was a regular score during the David Kimble story. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 I know. Annoying, isn't it? ITA. But I've learnt that Heyou, Ian, etc. are only trying to get people riled up and I, for one, am not going to take the bait anymore. It's not worth it.

Members xtr Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 I love Billy and Lily together and I think that they have good chemistry. I enjoyed their scenes today and am glad that they kissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 I love them too. Unfortunately though I think Lane is the end game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cashton Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 Chloe HAS to go down - big time. I'm a EH fan and she's daytime's newest superstar as far as I'm concerned - BUT she has to go down in a big, flaming way a la Gloria. She seeminly has no conscience or hesitation whatosver in moving her scheme forward. There are those very vocal Cane and Lily haters but what Chloe has done is downright evil. There's no justification for it. I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting her comeuppance in 2009...and her eventual redemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 She'll have to destroy Lily and Billy first and she will, given how she feels about Lily and how she admitted that she is in love with Billy. I think the end result is Chole with Billy, there's so much angst and broke sexuality to their scenes. Even if she's a total bitch to Billy or Billy can't stand her, there's something deep between them. I'm sure Lily and Billy together will make her blurt out that Billy is indeed the father of child. Once that comes out publicly, lives are going to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted December 24, 2008 Members Share Posted December 24, 2008 Cashton, Chloe in no way compares to Gloria. Her schemes are very minor and have not resulted in anyone losing their lives. Even the way it is written, her actions have not resulted in any long term emotional consequences for the characters. Sure Lily and Cane are miserable, but they are doing such a piss pour job of demonstrating any actual hurt, that can't be gotten over with one day of happy kissage. I believe the writers had planned to go down an eating disorder route with Lily but scrapped that either because the actress doesn't have the range, or it would put Chloe too much on the dark side do drive her to that point. I think Chloe will get her comeuppance when she does get Billy and he's constantly chasing other women and she starts turning to other men. Hopefully the writers don't decide that her comeuppance is best served by killing her baby. Y&R is in a bind when it comes to new characters because they kill off too many of their future generations for a few months of tears. As for this show having too many characters they really don't. Their cast is about the same size as Coronation Street which is only a half an hour. They do a great job of rotating their characters so that everyone has a chance at the front burner, but no one is shoved down the viewers throat for years on end. The American soaps could really learn a lot. I was a bit disappointed today, isn't Abby supposed to be home for Christmas? Also, was it mentioned how Victor is getting out on bail?
