Y&R: Week of May 04, 2009

[Juliajms]

That's my nightmare. Y&R is so good right now. If the bug comes back I will be bitterly disappointed. I'd rather watch Heather any day of the week.

GO Ashley!

I was so glad she went off on Estella. First of all it was very in character. Ashley is a bit snooty and does hold herself above others because of class. Secondly, Estella has some nerve copping an attitude and throwing accusations around at Ashley. I am so team Ashley.

Rafe/Adam have a good friendship. I like it.

Sharon... oh you slutty slut slut you! I LOVE IT!

Billy Miller

Umm.. why wasnt Lauren at Kevin's party? Did anyone evn mention she was working or with the baby or something?

I really hope Sharons spawn is Billys, it provides so much more story and drama.

I also would love Nick back at Newman and Billy with Phyliss at Restless Style.

[dm.]

Nope, there was no mention of Lauren.

[Heyou]

As do I; I can't wait for the look on Jack's face... priceless!

I agree with MarkH here, as long as they are still driving stories with all of her asinine storylines and then there are those casting issues that just won't seem to go away, then we're stuck with the constant reminder her.

So, LLB is the real reason that Doug Davidson was saved over Don Diamont and not his storyline with Nikki, should've seen that one coming a mile a away! I'd still say a big HELL NO to C.Blair coming back.

[dm.]

Sure, it's true that we won't get rid of everything she created, but looking back they did correct a lot of mistakes.

[Juliajms]

I can't wait to see the look on Billy's face! He wasn't so sure about having one child, just imagine if he's a father of two already. I also can't wait for Mac's reaction.

[Heyou]

Which proves this point, there would be so much more story to tell if it's Billy's rather than Nick or Jack's.

[Juliajms]

Having it be Nick's would be boring, but having it be Jack's would be as interesting as if it's Billy's. Either way, Jack will know about Billy. Jack being a constant thorne in a reunited Sharon and Nick, is probably a better long term story. Not that I want them back together, but since that seems inevitable, I hope they at least make it interesting.

[Cat]

So am I! Co-sign.

I... gawd, I love Billy Miller. Best casting decision Y&R has made this past year (I don't count bringing back Eileen or Tricia Cast because they are returning vets). I love watching him interact with Ash, Jack, Kay, Jill (he and JW obviously improvised some parts of their conversation -- and I loved the way Jill referred to Billy as her "little black sheep") and Victor. The actor exudes a ton of easy confidence and magnetism. OK, I am going to stop now before I turn into a Billy Miller fangurl and start opening stand-alone Billy Abbott threads a la moila.

On the other side of the fan spectrum, I feel like "coming out of the closet" LOL and declaring my hatred of Phylis. I think Stafford is really running with the material she is finally being given. But you know you hate (or love to hate?) a character when even when she is talking sense, you cannot stand a thing that comes out of her mouth!

First of all, she said "definitely" yesterday -- or "dif-i-nit-LEEE" as she pronounces it. My pet peeve about Phyllis harks back to the Bad Old Days of when her every reaction would consist of "Like, yah, dif-i-nit-LEEE, dif-i-nit-LEEE" in constant agreement at Nicholas's every word.

Secondly, she is right-on about Nick dumping his responsabilities at Restless Style to go back to NE. Personally, I'd like to see Nick back at NE myself, but he needs to be called out about starting up this business with Phylis and then dumping all the work on her shoulders. And yet all I can hear is: "Screech, screech! Nick, don't gooooooooooooooooo! If you leave, I won't be able to keep tabs on you during the day!"

[Juliajms]

I hope Nick goes back to NE and that Victor reverts to his usual ways. I'm ready for Phylis to cut ties with Nick. That relationship has run it's course.

[MarkH]

I definitely find this truth-saying but desperate version of Phyllis less entertaining. I'm sure we'll get off that soon. Who's gonna replace Nick @ RS?

[Juliajms]

I don't know, but I wish it could be Adam. Adam and Phyllis would be a match made in hell.

Other than that I need the musical CEO's to stop. I can't keep up with the ridiculous amounts of changes that have happened at the top of all these corporations. No one in their right mind would own the stock of companies that have 4 CEO's in the course of a year. It's becoming a joke.

[JackPeyton]

Billy, i hope.

[MarkH]

That's what I was thinking. And that could be AMAZING.

[rhythmchyc]

I still sayBilly lol. Or Phyllis will simply shut it down. From the way she spoke about it yesterday, it was a definite metaphor for their marriage.

Once Nick leaves, I doubt she'd be able to work with anyone else.
