Y&R: Oh, you Lane fans say the darndest things!

This manages to be both delusional and inspiring at the same time.

"GG,

that is internal angst for them and character developement. At least they are giving them a s/l right after their wedding and you know CK/DG is going to knock it out of the ball park with their fantastic acting because they play emotion so well.Eventually they will have their baby but it is going to be good watching them trying and dealing with all the angst

.I am just going to be happy waching them get ready for their wedding and I know a lot of people who are too.

Just remember to vote in all things Lane."

This demands a rapid and fierce stroke of a sword, to the death, samurai style. Just cut all their illogical guts and hope that sanity is present in their core. For while I do despise their opinion, I respect their devotion, however blind it is, for Lane. I wish I had the same passion from my irritation.

Thus I ask, if we vote in all things Sane, will we get less Lane? Does voting on the cbs.com site matter in the end?

I honestly don't think they do. I bet there're some lazy interns working for y&r who monitor those boards to find out what the "audience" likes and dislikes.

They read that and think everyone's in love with slice of sweetbread #1 and slice of sweetbread #2.

I refused to sign up or go to that site( CBS.com ) because I don't know how to deal with those Lane banners which are everywhere every thread and post :rolleyes:

and the Lane fan base I believe that they put a board

because they did that when Chloe's paternity came out

It is really why I find SON to be an oasis. Mostly just all you smart people...not so many fanboys and girls oozing over a particular character or pair. Those fanbases get dumped into the "Love/Hate" threads, and we never have to to go there.

It's most sick and ill-conceived couple I've seen in ages. It's obvious that they listen to those crazy fans, why else would they give them this much airtime? If they had any sense of what's wrong and right, they'd realize just how utterly ridiculous this couple is.

Ugh.

But then why do they constantly invest in that? Who the heck unleashed that puppy on the show?

It's surprising how blind the writers can be about some stuff, yet so brilliant in other stuff.

Remember, too, they're trying to attract little fan girls. The best thing for them would be growth in the age 13-17 female demographic, because people think that is the "future".

It seems clear to me that Lane...and especially Lily...works for those 13-17 year old girls. So, if that is the case, let them have their Lane. And the rest of us can watch the more palatable stuff.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
