Y&R: Week of May 04, 2009

[Cashton]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

I remember when Sharon Case first started. She was a terrible actress. It took MTS years to learn to cry. Vail is in good company. She may be alright one day. Until then, she is does okay.

"There is nothing you could possibly say that could interest me. Now, you should deal with your mother!"

:lol:

Why Why Why is Gloria and 'em back on this week? Come on already! Please tell me she'll have to pay a billion dollars in damages.

[AllAboutAngst]

Hate him. I really can't stand the way EB plays Victor now.

[Ann_SS]

Obviously, CF's hair is a tribute to Farah Fawcett and not in a good way. This chick needs a make over and spa treatment desperately.

WTH did fashionista Chloe have on today? She looked like she was on the Waltons.

LOL at Jack surreptitiously moving his hand from MJ's. That chick is going to go bat [!@#$%^&*] crazy when Jack and Sharon get back together.

EB is making it clear that he does not want Victor back with Nikki.

[Cashton]

John's ghost was right - Jack has not learned his lesson.

[Juliajms]

Thanks! I must have totally zoned out during that scene. So maybe that's a clue that the baby will be Jack's, so MJ/Patty will have all the more incentive to steal the kid.

[Cashton]

They made the clues very subtle. But I will say this - MAB twists stories alot so there could be many different ways she'll go with this.

[Juliajms]

This is terrible news. One good thing about LML is that she used Lauren a lot.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

She was also the one who started making Lauren an acessory to the Fisher-Baldwin family's crimes.

I like Lauren, but as long as she's tied to that family, she will always serve as a prop for them and in will in return, because she covers up for them so much, will come off as an unlikable hypocrite.

[Cashton]

I like TB - but did u see her in that scene with Sharon where she threatened to re-file the charges if sharon ever hurt Eden again? Her acting was just SO bad. I think of Drake H from DOOL who said he could have been a great actor had he not stayed on DOOL. I think Lauren's right where she needs to be.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Me too, I like Lauren, but as long as she's tied to the Fisher's, I don't care to see her that much.

Also, she's recurring, so really, I don't expect much storyline for her anyway. Eden and Noah are also recurring, can we say their storyline, for example, is anything big or exciting on this show?

If she wanted to be used more with her on-screen family and more storyline potential, then she shouldn't have refused to sign a contract. I have no sympathy for her in that sense.

And yes, she comes off as incredibly stiff to me, she's not horrendously bad, but a bit on the bland side.

Also, if they wish to write Lauren off this show, I can't say I would care. I don't think Lauren is necessary for this show to survive or that her loss would impact the show in any negative way.

[Juliajms]

I saw that too, which is why I want them to come to some sort of understanding.

I like the Fisher-Baldwins and I approve of soap criminals, so i don't have a problem with that. I'm only sorry that Lauren has to be the good reasonable one. I always thought she made a good bitch. As far as being a hypocrite goes, she can join the club of most Y&R characters.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't disagree, but from the beginning of her relationship with Michael, she's been used as nothing more than a prop to show how far he's come, and nothing more than a prop for his entire family.

[Cashton]

ICAM. She's not neccesary especially now that Sheila's probably dead and gone forever (forever = 5 years or more). they can't even bother to have her mention her son every now and again! She's been more of a mother to Eden than she's ever been to poor, hopefully gay Scotty.
