Whoa, John and Billy are so much more endearing. Love it!

See, that's how you explain absences. "Where's Murphy?" Out working. Why not explain other absences during K's wedding? I mean, come on! No Victoria?

No one's mentioned this, as far as I know, but Stafford has hair that rivals Bloom's. It's luscious.

Who's in your avatar? Cullen? :wub:

That is the one and only Dwight Howard, my friend. Forgot to change the caption! Like? The man has the biggest shoulders in the NBA. ;)

He's a longtime LA based soap director. He's directed for many of the LA soaps, this is his first Y&R episode.

A director with A LOT of years in daytime. It's his first Y&R episode.

Thank ya, peeps! I thought one of you would prolly know the 411 on him. Sounds interesting. Let's see what he can do with Y&R.....

I'll stand in, although I lack his eloquence. I like the F/B clan. Every soap needs schemers and I like it that Gloria and Kevin are both relatively shameless about it. Michael as the put upon lawyer usually adds some humor for me, but I like it better when he gets down and dirty right along with them. Kevin really could be a great character, but the writing has been spotty.

But Y&R has characters who can scheme and plot and add a comedy element and pull it off much better.

Hell, even Amber.

They are just not needed, add nothing, and there are too many now.

However, if MJ had plastic surgery most people wouldnt recognize her, but being his sister Paul would still have some connection "do i know you" feeling that other people, aside from Mary, wouldnt have.

First of all, I have a tough time believing Paul could sense anything, since he couldn't sense his own wife (Cricket/Christine) in a cheap wig! (By the way, Paul, how's that private investigations agency goin'?)

Secondly, this is why I hate plastic surgery storylines on soaps. Nobody in GC realizes who Patty Jane is - not even Jack, and he got her pregnant! - yet Paul feels he knows her. As my own mother says, "You can change your looks, but you can't change your eyes or your height". Yet, somehow, even though Paul feels like he knows this girl, she's apparently done just that.

Exactly.... Michael, Lauren, Gloria, Jeff, Kevin, Jana....... it could just as easy be only one or two of them...

I agree, but we don't need a whole family of criminal schemers - that's way too much for one family. That whole family is unrootable, thus unwatchable.

I would probably like them more if they didn't act like they're the ones being wronged, when they're the ones doing stupid, illegal crap. Yet they act holier than thou and as if they're entitled to everything, regardless if it's against the law or not.

For real! Those two were playing well off each other. I see some sibling rivalry sparks there. Of course, there aren't alot of people that Billy Miller doesn't have chemistry with - Mac being the notable exception. Nice to see him talking to John.

But we really don't need that much/many of them.

I'm all for getting rid of Jana. She's holding Kevin back imo. He should be a darker character. Hell, maybe he should be gay and hook up with Adam. I think he would work well with Amber too. I like Gloria, but if she goes to jail for a bit I'm ok with that. It's time to move Jeff onto Jill anyhow.

Again, I suspect Zapato is the father of Sharon's child. Sharon went to the Newman ranch drunk one night, she blanked out, and Zapato took advantage of her.

So, he's gaslighting Ashley and he's possibly knocking up Sharon? I tell ya, that Zapato is one enterprising pooch!

I think they should all be going out to a family dinner.... Michael, Kevin, Jana, Eden, Gloria, Jeff... even Baby fen can be int he car. Lauren, stuck at work, says she will meet them there. She arrives at the GCAC and is shocked they are not there. She waits a bit, tries calling, and gets worried as Paul comes rushing in looking for her to tell her the news heather told him. The SUV flipped, they all died.

:lol:

Sure beats the hell out of putting them all on the same plane and then crashing it!

And with her gone, the only memory of the LML years would stay in Cane, "Colleen" and Jeff.

Hmmmmm. I would watch that. ;)

I wouldn't mind seeing Gloria tortured slowly before she's killed, wrong of me I know, but I just don't like or see her point on this show.

As someone else mentioned before, and I don't condone domestic violence, but I can see why Tom Fisher beat her ass and felt no remorse afterwards.

I would watch that and wish it were on HBO (and yes, I'm a straight female) :P

  • Member

Gloria leaving her son's welcome home party to scheme for money. Not a surprise.

God, I join the bandwagon hating her, now. She was pathetic to me before. Now she's gross.

  • Member

I guess Rafe and Adam might be together...

IF they do hook up, I hope Adam goes crazy tell Victor that Rafe took advantage of him. lol
