Members Paul Raven Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 Time to look back to 2000. I'll begin with Y&R.SOW voted it best show. I'll add the others in the coming days. Here's what they said about Y&R. If you made a list of Y&R's high and low ponts in 2000,you would run out of space on the left side and have a big hole on the right. Victor goes after Brad! Ashley marries Brad! Victor and Nikki reunite! Christine turns to Michael! Matt clark infiltrates sharon and Nick's family! Cassie gets sick! Tricia finds Victoria living with Ryan! Katherine almost kills Jill! Billy and Mac fall in love! Get the picture? Even the worst storyline(Gary stalks Victoria) wasn't all that bad,thanks to an exciting climax.Head writer Kay Alden plots her stories meticulously.Everything adds up in the end,even a convuluted storyline like Ashley and Diane's concurrent pregnancies.speaking of which,that storyline can be traced back to April 1998,when Victor divorced diane to marry Nikki on her deathbed.Talk about brilliant storytelling! HIT Storyline:Diane's and Ashley's pregnancies. Couple:Billy and Mac Breakout Performance:Ashley Bashioum Most Shocking Twist: Nikki and Victor make love Back Where She Belongs:Michelle stafford Most Hearbreaking:Cassie's TB scare Newcomer:Lauren Woodland Energizer Bunny Award:Jill and Katherine's never ending feud Best Resolution: Malcolm and Dru Best Yield On a deposit:Victor's sperm MISS Storyline:Gary Stalks Victoria Couple:Tomas and Nina Wasted Resource:Jerry Douglas Most Ironic Storyline:Christine isn't pregnant,but Laurelee Bell is. If you want more details on any category or want a particular show's Hit&Miss,just ask! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted April 6, 2009 Administrator Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks PR. I'm watching Y&R in French here in Canada and right now we're in late September. I didn't see the beginning or middle, only saw the end which was very good with Gary holding Victoria hostage in the tree house. Even in French, RPG and HT's acting was so good. You want to remember the year 2000 (Langan's teens invasion)? *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 I loved 2000. I started watching aruond that time. I can see why older fans might have hated it, with the teens overload. But being I was a new viewer then, I loved it. It was such a change from watching DAYS. I agree Nina and Tomas. Talk about boring! My God...

Members JackPeyton Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 No, not realy. Because i as a teen didnt even like the teen takeover - granted loved Kirsten as Bell and Jay as Philip but wanted the rest GONE! But i do want to see what they say about 2000 Days! LOL. Gosh, Langans DAYS was almost as bad Hogans... the horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 Not even close, Langan was better than Hogan, JER 2 and Higley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 I started watching Y&R around that time as well, and it was absolute perfection IMHO. The acting, the writing and the production levels were oustanding and flawless. And it lasted until 2001. Since then things started spinning out of control. Toups, I'm so envious you can still watch those episodes. I hope someone will upload them on youtube. Even in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 Days of Our Lives DOOL really pushed the envelope this year with a string of outlandish storylines-the plane crash,Hope's microchip,isabella's ghostly return,the "Who's the daddy(and to which baby?)"saga and-yikes!-Austin and Greta's virtual relity adventure. Luckily,the show's writers balanced all this craziness wth several well scripted storylines that revolved around what has always been the heart of the show-family. HIT Storyline-Stefano and Hope are rescued from the turret. Couple-Bo and Hope. Revenge of the Nerd-Chloe. Shocking Twist-Princess Gina's death. Welcome to the Dark Side-Nicole Newcomer-Jay Kenneth Johnson MISS Couple-Eric and Nicole Show Me the Story-Crash! Opportunity-Nicholas/Kate/Victor triangle Most Convuluted Storyline-Who's Your Daddy? Storyline-The garden of Eden OTHER Back Where She Belongs-Melissa Reeves Stuff It-The Will Doll,Hattie's Nose,Gina's Corpse,Greta's virginity... Party We're glad We Weren't Invited To-Last Blast Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Manny Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 Really? I loved 2001. as well. That was the year with Matt and Tricia, Ryan's death, Matt's death, good business stuff between Jabot and Newman, Billy and Mac were still awesome, didn't Raul's diabetes happen in this year as well? David Lago was AMAZING during that storyline.. I kinda think 2002. is when it went a bit bad... but not that much. I still loved corporate storylines a lot, also Malcolm's death happened in 2002... But yeah, 2002. was not as good as 2000 or 2001. to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 And that right there explains DOOL's stabilization in the ratings nine years later. I can almost see a new fan posting this same comment about last week's episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 WORD. Nobody has had chemistry with Lauren Koslow like Victor Webster had. Nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 I agree. Because honestly, out of about 25 characters or so the only ones there for less than 10 years now are Max, Chelsea, Stepahnie, Ej (All of whom have strong ties) and Rafe, Daniel, Mia and Melanie. I think Days focusing on Philip, Chloe, Nicole, etc is smart. These are characters that have been played over the past 10 years. Then there is Sami, Lucas who have what now, over 15 years history? Add in Bo & Hope along with the older set like Stefano, Victor, Maggie, and Caroline actually being used and thats why Days has been able to stabilize itself. So whoever is responsible for it, bravo. and keep it up! thats because he was one of the few she actually had chem with. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 That's true. In fairness, I'd call it a more than difficult task to have chemistry with Josh Taylor, but I see your point. However, you're implying that her chemistry with Webster wasn't all that great which it was. The two of them were off the charts: they had probably the hottest chemistry I've ever seen on Days of our Lives. That's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 No, i 100% agree Webster & Koslow has amazing off the charts chem. I just think hes the ONLY person shes ever had chem, with, Aside from Ali Sweeney.. but thats not really even chem, they just play well off each other IMHO.
