Y&R: Week of May 04, 2009

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Or at all, especially when Suresucks, I mean Sursok, is off filming YET ANOTHER film again.

[Greg's GL]

Jump back!

[dm.]

No need to correct yourself, we all made that mistake various times... I don't know why though...

[rhythmchyc]

I respectfully disagree. Every time Ark was on the screen, I wanted to whip out my scalpel and reconfigure her face. It always made me nauseous. I still remember the scene when she ate eggs from the Athletic club between those thin glossed up lips of hers, I felt like throwing up.

:lol: :lol:

Yo, Victor didn't even let Billy in his house!!

Then Adam chuckles after leaving that message for Heather?!? I love this episode so damn much. I gotta watch it again; so many intricacies LOL.

Why is Phyllis equating Restless Style with her marriage? That's so lame.

Maybe Billy could help Phyllis co-run Restless Style LOL.

[Khan]

I, for one, am getting annoyed by all these "outs" that Tammin keeps getting to do other films and such. Not that I want her on the show more often, but I feel like every time she leaves, so much story gets disrupted or dropped for her sake.

[dm.]

:lol:

We all do.

I feel so sick and tired that I have to think about this for the millionth time..... how is she surviving there for SO MANY months?

Some genius most have negotiated her contract.

[MichaelGL]

Victorjustdoesn'tgiveadamn.

I like how Sharon's pregnancy in a way will affect Victor's plans if she claims that the child is Jacks.

[Khan]

That, or, she knows where SONY buries all its' bodies.

[MarkH]

I go away for a meeting, and come back to this vomit of heresy so intense I'm sputtering. You all feed each other in this F-B/JT loathing...it's not NORMAL!

Who'd be making that lame excuse, huh? Listen, they had horrid, horrid beginnings, and that mother you despise is still in their lives. I think giving them a foothold in a normal, healthier family dynamic could be a revelation.

I don't see how you can find this compelling clan of grifters a "cancer". Genoa City is so homogeneously beautiful and wealthy. Finally we have a family that brings a different shading. They have enormous comedic value, the core members are uniformly well-acted. This loathing seems prejudicial, not based in fact.

Sigh. Here.

Thank you!

I don't see how you could have watched the "Christmas Carol" episode, or the moment of glory after Kevin came out of the catatonia, or the drama in the boxcar, or the boxing ring years ago...and SAY this. That said, Jana and Jeff are peripheral, and I suspect their departures are imminent...at least Jana. Barbie Bloom seems to have a hard-on for Shackleford.

I wish I could find this funny...but this one goes a bit too far for me. Even with your qualifier.

We are seeing an evocative portrait of a survivor. We're seeing what happens if you spend your first 50 years at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I guess you prefer fantasy on daytime??

Don't you find that fearless? I mean...they could write her sweet and loving and reformed? But instead, they maintain her throughline! She is a grifter. She always was and always will be. What a unique, original character. You all want to sand off her edges.

No, Nadine was Nadine.

Gloria is a DIFFERENT character. She's being written in a way that doesn't conform to some Soaps 101 template. Gloria is a true original because she is not redeemed, and she does not seek redemption.

I said it earlier..."everyday evil". Quotidien horror show. That's AMAZING.

She co-exists, on a daily basis, staring at the horror she's made of her son's lives. But still she persists...like the leopard she likes to wear...she cannot change her spots.

At the same time, she's not Sheila Carter evil...so we don't have to write her off. She's just bad enough that we can throw spitballs at the screen, all the while laughing at her next misadventure. "Here Fisher--here's a piece of steak--run out into the middle of the street and eat it."

That is EVIL. But it is also a little funny.

In addition, she DOES get her comeuppance, time and again. "Gloria, dear, wouldn't you like to go into your room and unpack your Hefty bags?"

==

Elsewhere in this thread was some sacrilege about sending JT to Europe or some sh!t.

Victoria can go...and be replaced by Heather Tom.

JT can stay, become permanently shirtless, and return to the bad-boy slut-dog he used to be. And then another good girl, like Colleen once was, can redeem him.

[Greg's GL]

OK, yet again, the Adam scenes today are freaking me out! Did y'all catch the smirk on his face after leaving Heather the VM on helping him get out? Is he playing her AGAIN?!?!?!?

I so hope they aren't going down this path with Adam....but I'm sceeered.

[DeeeDee]

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Yeah, those 3-6 episodes per month with those throwaway scenes sure are impacting her "BIG" storyline.

but you know, Tammin did love the "Palm Springs" storyline. :lol:

Pretty strange that for someone that is not a big star and that hasn't been with the show for very long gets all of these outs. If that isn't suspicious, I don't know what is.

[dm.]

Of course he is... it's visible from miles afar.

Remember when he told her in bed to get away from him because she'll end up hurt...... or something like that.

[MarkH]

Who wrote it?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

:lol: :lol:

Stop the Australian racism, DeeeDee!
