Y&R: Week of February 09, 2009

[YRBB]

Another week begins for The Young and the Restless. Discuss!

And a short clip I made:

Some hilarious Jill/Katherine interaction!

[BadZoe]

Michelle Stafford has a fantastic scene with the mound of dirt representing the Bradsicle.

I sure hope Chloe will be back this week. I think Chloe scares the crap out of TPTB them because Lily is supposed to be the starlet of Y&R but Liz H is the real STAR!!

Fingers crossed for a good week, not the dull as dishwater stuff from the week before last.

Wow, I'm surprised

is back. I was just thinking the other day how great it would be to bring her back as Sharon's support.

[BadZoe]

was already on and had a set built for her and everything. Made me wonder if Sharon would move in with her mommy again, she really has no home of her own.

[dm.]

Not for USA.

[MarkH]

That hypothesis that Sharon and Noah will move in with her momma makes PERFECT sense. But I'd want some explanation about why we haven't seen her in ages.

Now I'm gonna have to go read the transcript for Monday's US show...which I hate to do.

[dm.]

Actually you don't need to.

I wonder if they'll keep her longer or if it's for a short time.... especially if they built a set for her.

[MarkH]

Well I read it.

And from the transcript ALONE I almost peed my pants :-). I mean, was there one non-great moment in the whole thing?

Ordinarily I'd say, if a set is built, the character will stick around. But on Y&R, it could be a one-day thing . They seem to have the bucks. But I have a feeling that this is addressing another wrong from previous administrations.

[BadZoe]

For some reason I thought that was all the way back on Wednesday's show since I mostly listened to Monday's show.

They did build a Principal's office set for Ashley and Victor to have a conversation in. Although I'm beginning to wonder if the teenagers are going to be visiting it a lot in the near future.

[Becki]

I'm looking forward to this week and all the drama unfolding....the repercussions of last week and movement forward I hope in the Katherine story.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Michelle is playing Phyllis with such a creepy undertone in Monday's episode. This nice act Phyllis has going has a somewhat psychotic undercurrent to it. It's nice to see Stafford actually attempt to act again.

I still hate Tammin, and if she could've hid her accent a little better, her little rant against Victor would've been good. But I must say, it was probably her best acting since she's been on this show.

And yes, it was a joy to see Doris again. It looks like Sharon's going to be hitting rock-bottom soon. From what I hear, her relationship with Doris will be apart of this story, should be interesting.

[dm.]

Well, she did finally get a chance to show off her talents. But I won't comment on that this time around.

I miss Adam and Heather.

[Chris B]

I saw no improvement in Tammin and she's a major weak link in this story. Forget her mediocre acting, but she's still severely miscast. She doesn't have romantic chemistry with any guys on the show nor does she share chemistry with her parents. Then as she gets upset her accept comes out more and more. Her body movement and everything seemed off in her scenes opposite Braeden. It was brave to put her up against him, but completely forgettable as well.

I've been most impressed with Beth Maitland and how well she fits into the show. Shame Brad is dead because that would be the perfect love interest for her. I'd been saying that for a long time, but now he's dead. Loved her interactions with everyone, especially Victor. She seemed slightly annoyed with him, but she smiled because she's polite and for Ashley's sake. I love how short she was with him. Everyone doesn't need to love and worship Victor and I like that the writers are acknowledging that these days.

[BadZoe]

I have felt for the last week now that all Colleen's scenes would have been so much better with a different actress in the part. She's just not Colleen, so while the scenes have been well written, they are hollow and have no more meaning to me than someone reading out of a phone book.

[dm.]

And there are is so much interesting stuff coming up, and I don't want it to be ruined.
