Y&R: Week of January 26, 2008


Recommended Posts

Kevin Schmidt is a great little actor. I want to say he's the future of Y&R but in the current climate? I don't dare.

And Brad's scenes with everybody on Wednesday -- Ashley, Victor, Faketoria, Nikki and Traci were so good. DD and BM had such lovely scenes together. As for BrAsh, I cannot believe Ash is selling Brad down the river like this. I actually got chills at this part:

Brad: So did I just hear that right? A family portrait? What are you trying to do, Ash? Rewrite history? Do I have to remind you again and again, I am Abby's father. I'm her father.

Ashley: I know that. And so is Victor. And he has every right to have a relationship with her, Brad. Look, I know this isn't easy for you, and I feel for you.

Brad: You know what? Don't. Don't make this about me. It's not about me. It's about Abby. It's about what's best for our daughter. The kind of values that we want to instill in her. What are you teaching her? That--that relationships can just be cast aside like an old pair of jeans that have gone out of style? Or is it that--that the father who buys her the most gifts gets the coveted title of Dad?

Team Brad!

P.S.: I'm sad that Brad may be leaving but so far Y&R are writing him a send-off.

Sorry guys but WHAT A SNOOZE.

I hold Y&R at a higher bar productionwise but this lake/Brad/Noah stuff was like something on ABC.

What absolute boring production this week. I enjoy the writing and the parallel with Cassie- but the plot was not served well at all productionwise. Boring, uninspired, and lazy.

Sheesh.

Hey Rhiannon- She rings like a bell in the night and who will be her lover-

Its Botox. They need to dump Sharon Case's head in some powder before shooting.

Nicole Kidman Syndrome.

I have had Botox and it made my forehead tight and slick as that icy river Noah fell in. lolllllllll

They have been funkifying Sharon with those awful chunky ass necklaces too.

They didn't go all out with the production, which sucked.

However, I did enjoy the episode overall. As mentioned the parallel with Cassie was a great touch, as were the flashbacks they used when Sharon as writing her letter.

I also thought Joshua Morrow actually attempted to act in this episode, which he hasn't done in FOREVER. He wasn't great, but he tried.

I have never been a Morrow fan. I hold him in the same esteem as David Fumero. Guy who got VERY lucky.

However, Nick and Sharon- I like them together. Very believable as a couple who married young, ect...

Without the Cassie aspect and the very well written scene with Phyllis setting that whole parallel up, this episode would have been the worst in a year. Considering how good it should have been- I am not impressed. But hell, its January.

yay another Brad/Sharon fan. I loved her and Nick and was sad to see them end, but the only good thing out of that would have been seeing her with Brad. I cant beleive they tortured us with Nick/Phyllis for all these years but couldnt throw the Brad/Sharon fans a bone. I hated when she took that horrible detour with Jack which never should have happened. Theres no need to get rid of Brad bc theres unresolved issues with Sharon that can and should still be explored

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
