Y&R: Week of April 13, 2009

Well, to be fair, I get why that wasn't the top priority for Gil. Sharon is guilty of stealing and she did confess.

The break-in to the room is a different story. And one that I doubt will be dropped. (Especially with the previews for tomorrow of the Nick/Phyllis conversation, which I didn't spoiler tag because they showed it at the end of today's show, but I will edit if that's a no-no. :D ) But this arrest wasn't about vandalism. It was about theft. So at this point, there's no need to look at the hotel tapes.

:lol: I barely do myself. To be honest, I forgot Dru even did that to Carmen until somebody on here brought it up the other day after Phyllis did it. Guess it didn't make that much of an impression on me.

ETA: Just to be clear, that wasn't a cheap shot at VR. It was a cheap shot at the lame Carmen Mesta story. LOL!

They would still need the person who made the call to the police, the housekeeper, to fill out a report. So when they can't find who called in the crime, one would think they would start to question who was in that room. Gil seemed to jump to the conclusion that whoever stole the items would automatically be assumed to be the one who messed up the hotel room. I don't quite get that leap.

Why do clothes having tags on mean that they were stolen? Why would Sharon confess in front of the cops? This show. Will they check the hotel security? I doubt it. Phyllis will get away with this one. At least, Sharon will now get the mental health treatment that she needs.

Nick makes these women crazy. He must be really good in bed. It is the only explanation. Josh Morrow is a crap actor, but I give him credit for making Nick always seem like he feels bad when he shits on both of these women. It is why most people still like Nick unlike Victor who is cold and cruel.

Phyllis got what she had coming for getting involved in Nick and Sharon's dysfunctional marriage. The man's daughter just died how could anyone believe that he was thinking clearly? Now if only Nick would get what he has coming.

Why is my Jack always the sap in these situations? I can't help it, I love him for it.

Got to say I like hard ass Heather.

I didn't think that MS was that great today either. She was okay.

"Please, please leave," Phyllis said today, thereby providing a perfect counterpoint to what she said the last time Nick slept with Sharon: "Please don't leave. Please please dont' leave". I love the symmetry of that. THAT is a testament to a well coordinated creative team...the point I was trying to make in the Writer's thread earlier today.

I have to hope, with that turn of phrase, it means that Phyllis is going to try to move on. I don't want to see her going psycho or desperate or whatever. "Living well is the best revenge". That's what I want. I want nothing more but to see her live a "together" life, becoming more and more desirable to Nick as each day passes...which his "first love" (yeah, Phyllis!) drags herself down and down.

I've sort of thought the Noah-Eden stuff was shoe-horned into all this...but I kind of like that ultimately it was there to remind us of immature, giddy, inexperienced love...the shoddy foundation on which "Shick" is also based. Nick and Sharon did mature well beyond their post-adolescent start, but it's nice to be reminded of their beginnings, in some way, via Noah.

And I think have to give the writers kudos for a sick (in a good way) sense of humor. Having Gloria transform into a squeaking chipmunk was ... just a surreal piece of pleasure. I hope we see a whole host of delusions and hallucinations from Kevin...because they're funny.

I do wish Michael could have heard the desperation in Phyllis' voice...and found five seconds to give his best friend a hug. I found him too cavalier ("You're on your own, kiddo"). Hopefully, that will come soon.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
