Y&R: Week of April 27, 2009

ITA! Don't go to the dark side Adam!

[Cat]

Awww, jp. It wouldn't have been worth breakin' up over Brittany.

And how great has it been seeing Lauren interact with Kay... Phyllis... Sharon? AND diss Gloria for what she did to Kay? All in one episode? I wish TEB would go on contract. Big Red should be getting in Sharon's face over Eden, just because she is Eden's mama figure and Phyllis's friend in her own right. And I say this as somebody who feels bad for Sharon.

I could accept that... but after Don Diamont's firing and Doug Davidson's virtual dissappearance, I live in fear of TPTB writing Adam (and Heather) off the show once Adam gets "too dark." I mean, all it took was *gasp* forging Victor's handwriting (and Jack was the true ringleader in that one) for TPTB to send CE off our screens for 6 months. What would they do if it turned out Adam gaslighted Ashley? I could definitely accept Adam being super-dark (his father's son!), vengeful and sexy as hell while doing it, but I have the feeling that anybody who does anything against TGVN is immediately judged to be a dangerous loon who must be punished/killed/sent away to jail.

Also, I do NOT want to see Smugtoria and Nicholas doing the whole "Told you so, Daddy! We're your true children!" when all is said and done.

LOL! I wanted him to sex Nikki up!

Another SL quashed by the Tache.

LOL, remember when she got zapped by the stripper pole? I had an avatar of that moment with "StripperPoleFanForever" written underneath.

[dm.]

We will most definitely see them do that. It's in their eyes every time they see Adam. I want Adam to be on top sometime in the future.

[Cat]

I also loved that last week, she showed up at the ranch and was bustling around, making sure Adam was getting fed and being looked after properly.

(And didn't she remind the Newmans -- including TGVN -- that it was Adam's birthday coming up? Was she the only one who remembered?)

Anyhoo, Adam stopped her and said something along the lines of "Get out of here. Forget about me. I'll only hurt you." See? Struggling with da Dark Side! It only made me want them together more.

But I do think that struggle is an important part of the equation. That and the fact that Adam is the only one in GC who stands up to Victor and says what he thinks of most people to their faces. Sometimes he's like the voice of the audience.

[dm.]

That's why we love him!

I love it when Heather gets in Victor's face, but I do agree on one thing Victor said---Heather should have also prosecuted Jack. Didn't Frank Ellis confess the entire thing or just about Adam?

[Cat]

I think Jack manipulated the whole thing so that his fingerprints were never on anything, as it were. Frank Ellis never met Jack, the transactions were always done through Adam. Also, Jack dictated (in his best Vic-tuh voice) the diary into a dictaphone, but when Adam went to retrieve the recording after the forgeries were done, Jack had erased everything.

"Tell you uncle... I haven't forgotten. He'll understand."

I look forward to Jack getting some comeuppance for what he did. Maybe in a few years.

[MarkH]

See, I'm fine if Adam goes batsh!t crazy on Jack. I'm fine if he does nasty, devious stuff.

But I am not fine if he is harming Ashley, Heather, etc.

[JackPeyton]

Oh, we would not have broken up. You reddemed your self in an instant.

AND OMFG! Lauren FENMORE was on screen today. Not Lauren Baldwin! It was fantastic to see her with Kay and Phyliss and Nick and everyone. And being Lauren. Not to mention Lauren/Phyliss BFF works so well. Maybe its all the red hair i dont know, but its fantastic! and ITA with what you said.

"I didnt do it for you. I did it because your WIFE asked me too" was great.

Then thats just LAZY. There is no reason they cant take adam there. make him dark and twisted, even sadistic if you will. But they have to play the other side. they have to tell us WHY. Adam has to believe what he is doing is deserved tho.

"I was clumsy long before i was blind" LOLZ!

I love it when Victoria & Nick are like that. Its whom they are! Also, I loved Victoria today. AH works in the role for me like this. The daddys little girl. Mommys angel. Compassionate and good friend. i know i know, i flip flop on her.

that was such a good storyline.

[MarkH]

The stripper pole shocking was a GOOD storyline? A GOOD one?

The good part, I guess, was the pseudo-mystery of "did psycho-Kevin do this?" (and of course, no, it was mob warning to Bobby).

But do you remember the aftermath? MY GOD. "My scar, my scar, my scar, my scar". For 30 days and 30 nights she meowed about that g*dd*mned SCAR. And I had to learn about special face creams that would diminish the scar. And on and on. That bloody SCAR. And Raul sitting at the foot of her bed like a little !@#$%^&*]-cat, talking about her SCAR. And her SCAR plunging her into clinical depression, and Raul having to go get Bobby to put a little sunshine in her life, because it had gone dark over that SCAR.

Oh, man, that was a GOOD storyline? I'd take 3 reliquaries and 1 cochlear implant over the stripper pole ANY day!

[rhythmchyc]

not.bitter.at.all

[dm.]

Now you've gone too far. :lol:

[brimike]

:lol:

I'll see your reliquaries and cochlear implant, and raise you a bottled water and ten blood diamonds.

[MarkH]

That fireplace yesterday SURE came in handy for burning Sharon's confession. I tried to imagine that scene without a fireplace. What would it be? He'd rip it up, and stupid Heather would pick up the shards (an anti-littering PSA, a recycling PSA, and a crime-fighting PSA) and restore the confession using microscopic technology in the DA lab. A faded primetime star would do a one-day stint as the lab tech.

[rhythmchyc]

I this.

[classicmoment]

The episode where Phyllis told on Sharon to Victor that Sharon stole his egg and it backfired .
