Y&R: Week of April 20, 2009

Moila, instead of making multiple threads that are related to the weekly discussion, why not discuss it here? I don't see a need for a new thread, so I merged your topic with the weekly discussion.

the puppy is cute, but as for Lane.....

[alwild]

I want a Mac and Cane romance too b/c I think that Cane would be better with her

[soapydoc]

She has that whine down to a science. Generally it's the head bob/whine combo that makes me queasy but I thought it was just me.

Filler Friday alert, everyone's faves are on today: Lame, Victoria, JT, Colleen, Chipmunk crew, and a little party at the Newman ranch which were really just repeats of scenes at the Newman ranch from the last week or two. What has happened to this show, there are no storylines?

And if Lily wasn't bad enough anyways, now they have her talking in a baby voice like her natural one isn't irritating enough.

[Khan]

I pray my newborn niece never sounds that irritating. If she does, "Uncle Khan" will have to invest in some super-strength earplugs.

Loved Haduik today when MaryJane jealous reaction to Jack huggin Sharon. They didn't even need to add the demon voice and fire to her eyes she did it all on her own.

MS delivered to me today especially at the end, Phyllis just went from manipulative to heartbroken

[BadZoe]

That voice made me think it's Mary Jo with a nicer face.

[Heyou]

Thanks for the warning! WTH is up with Lily's cutesy voice now? It's like she's on happy pills now that she and idiot Cane are back together.

It reminded me of Mary Jo as well.

It's a weak batch of episode this week - even the eternal optimist in me sees that. Good moments interspersed throughout, but not nearly as strong as the "I hate myself" week, or the Billy/Chloe wedding rehearsal dinner/wedding week.

I'm hoping that next week with

, it'll pick up again. May Sweeps, after all. I haven't given up hope. Yet.

"Adagio"

Mary Jane - this b!tch is going to give Sheila a run for her money as Y&R's all-time best villainess. She's getting so creepy. Reminds me of the teasers that MAB blabbed about how Victor's perfect plan goes to hell - and it looks like the fact that she's a PSYCHO is what makes that happen. I'm more convinced than ever it's Patty but with Stacy Haiduk playing her, I don't care who her identity is really. She's FEROCIOUS!

And popular opinions be damned, I like Cane. I like Lily (now). I think Cane's an awesome guy and I think he was way gracious with Billy and Chloe today. Releasing all that anger and turning it into love for Lily is very entertaining and sweet. MAB's a genius for putting him back to his bartender roots and out of the suits. Long live Lane!

This week was slow and boring with very little plot development. The stand-out was definitely Mary Jane in today's episode.

From the spoilers, it DOES sound like next week is much better, but one must wonder if why this week was so slow...

[brimike]

Which normally, I'd agree with you. But the episode we compared that to (Jack/Nick at the bar, Phyllis/Sharon at home talking, Kay/Murphy in bed) had beautiful character moments. This week, I'm not really finding it.

But it's okay. Nobody's screaming the H-word (at least on my end). It was a lot weaker than previous weeks, but still watchable. I wasn't beating any drums last year, and I don't plan on beating any drums this year. There will be high points and low points, but when the most memorable part of the week was the Chipmunk (and not in a good way), it's a low point. If it keeps up like this for three months, that's another story. But for now, I'm chalking it up to an off-week, and moving on.

And I love my

. LOL!

I enjoyed the Newman party, as I never get tired of seeing Heather try to take on Victor He is so dismissive towards her, its hilarious. And I think people are panicking just because it was an off week.... things were firing on all cylinders for a good month leading up to the resolution of Katherine's story. Its just a time of transition.... I think anyway.
