Y&R: Week of May 04, 2009

[Greg's GL]

Lovin' the avatar btw. Adam and Heather

No, I'm sure they think they're still fooling the audience. So, if I were you, when they do reveal who she is, just act surprised.

[dm.]

She is soooo going to end up hurt yet again. I can feel it.

[Cat]

This post? LOVE.

I don't care how they do it, I just want Stacy Haiduk to stay.

Speaking of terrible hair, Mac's forest o'hair extensions need to go. It's not Mac and it doesn't suit CF.

The Mac-Billy kiss was hot, though. I think because of the way Billy kissed her.

i dont think they are fooling us at all.

if they were trying to have us not think she was patty i doubt that paul scene would have been played.

[dm.]

Me too. Making her Patty would make it much easier to have her stay on canvas. If she was some other character, she would be turned into a psycho and eventually be killed off... and now I'm getting AMC rewrite flashbacks. I need to forget about that.

[MarkH]

They probably will, now that Cashton has revealed it....

[dm.]

I hope they're smarter than that.

Then they might as well finally reveal Gloria is a Katherine's daughter so I can finally quit the show for good too.

[brimike]

Exactly. After the Paul scene, I think they know most of the more astute viewers will guess it. And those who aren't as knowledgeable about Y&R history (newer viewers, who aren't on the internet) can still keep guessing.

[dm.]

Hahaha... If LML had a chance to choose a daughter for Katherine, she'd totally choose Gloria.

[JackPeyton]

pretty much.

and yes the story is somewhat who is this mary jane? but IMHO right now its much more about mary jane/whoever she really is as a character. establishing her. showing her sdes and layers and depth. shes far from some villian of the moment, and the story also is about victors plan to hurt jack.

when it comes out that mary jane is patty/whoever then they can play that beat. but the overall focus of the story isnt who is this women?

and i really dont think they are trying to fool us and dont expect us to know who she is, Y&R isnt about shock. its about character. and they are doing it well!

[Khan]

Unless, of course, the expectation was not to have us suspect she's Patty, but that she could be one of a number of women Paul, Victor, and even Jack have tangled with before.

Not necessarily. She still could be Patty, and she still could go completely psycho and get killed off in the end. IMO, the fact that she would be Paul's sister and Heather's aunt guarantees nothing.

[JackPeyton]

I may giving them too much credit but i dont think they think that we are that stupid.

The women, from the Paul scene, would have to be someone Paul has a connection with that has reason to go after Jack. Who, aside from Patty, would that be?

[brimike]

Total word.

There are a lot of viewers out there who don't even know who Mari Jo or Patty or Diane or Isabella even are. And viewers who know who Isabella and Diane are, but not Patty and Mari Jo, or any combination of the above. So for them, there will be an added surprise whenever this gets revealed. And for those like the people on this board who have watched Y&R for years, there's just another dimension to the story.
