Y&R: Week of May 04, 2009


Recommended Posts

I said yesterday that I thought they were grooming Chloe to be the next Phyllis, and it's becoming more apparent by the day. I like that they are emphasizing that Chloe is actually good at her job and has the respect of both Nikki and Phyllis (they often listen to her ideas).

I remain FIRMLY against PM as Headwriter, firmly. I love him, he's excellent with dialogue, but being a HW is a whole other animal, and I'm pretty sure he said in an interview on Soaptown that he didn't have any desire to be a HW.

Relax, it's only a dream scenario anyway.

And he's been involved with storytelling and has written great dialogue, so I don't see how he'd be a disastrous HW at all. He didn't say anything explicitly about never wanting to HW in that interview, but I do know he'll probably never do it anyway.

What Head Writing experience did Maria Arena Bell have prior to assuming that position on Y&R? She wrote a few scripts and dropped out of daytime for 20 years.

I agree Vail is sexy as hell: the mole, the hair and the voice!

Rikaart definitely does better with a stronger actress than the likes of some of the cast.

I love the possible new friendship between MJ and Phyllis.

How weird were all of those scenes with Summer? That girl didn't have even one single line. It was almost as if she didn't have the power to speak. They all talked to her, asked her questions, but she kept quiet. They could have at least given her one line like "Daddy" or "Mommy." She's not that small anymore.

Does anyone know if Emily O'Brien is pregnant? She's been looking a little bigger in the belly the last few weeks.

Lily looked hideously ugly in that outfit. That hat did her no favors, just elongated her face and nose and the grumpy face didn't help matters. She really has no sense of humor.

I still want Amber/Kevin/Daniel and Jana to all hook up together rather than separately. I can totally see it in those characters.

Doesn't the ranch have security? If I had the kind of stalkers they do, even without the billions, I'd consider my personal security worth it.

With the reception that the Chipmunk storyline got, I can see why they are dropping that one from the radar. Sharon on the other hand still looks totally bonkers.

I wish they had never switched from that cute little red haired baby that was always eating and sticking her fingers in the eggnog. Especially since they aren't aging Fen the same way.

Maybe they did and she didn't say it? I get the impression she's quite shy. DRB would have owned that scene. LOL! (But I'm serious).

If anyone watched Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles last season, tell me that little girl who played Savannah Weaver wouldn't be the PERFECT Summer Newman! She even has the red hair for it.

Adam has become one of the best characters on Y&R. I love how he is taking down both Victor and Jack through Ashley. It is evil and conniving as hell. When it all comes out, everyone will know not to [!@#$%^&*] with him because he is a serious badass.

Victor needs to chill out. He knows the Newman men are a horny bunch. He should be proud that Adam could pull a hot chick like Heather and not be a cockblocker.

Why must we endure Reckless Style month after month???

There's always some trumped up emergency-The photographer has swine flu! The backdrop has been shipped to Bulgaria!!

Lot's of cell phone calls and 3 extras buzzing around in the background.

How about when Phyllis said she didn't want strangers working at the magazine.Honey,they're called qualified professionals and you employ them

It is beyond irritating.

Laughed when MJ said she could line up national talk shows.Yea,The View,Oprah etc would be begging to get coverage of the mag on their shows.Then,Phyllis responds(with a straight face)that it's too late as the next issue goes out next week-and they haven't even shot the cover!!

But don't worry folks,the issue will be a smash success nationwide.

The writers continue to make references to the woes of the economy and then ignore that magazine are dying left,right and centre.

RESTLESS SHITE MUST DIE!!!

Then,as usual,GC residents make the front cover.

    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

    • That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta.

    • Oooo. I like the current actress, but that's a pretty great choice.
    • And you would be correct re: Damian. I've said the same. And Bonus...he had a story with twists. So I for one got annoyed, but cautious when the Dumas twist happened because it immediately felt like the best current story going on on the canvas was about to be hijack. And...looks like I was right.

Ironically, Eddie, realizing that Felicia can’t paint at home, has been looking for a studio for her, and happened to be inspecting this very studio, only to learn that Mrs. Lamont had already rented it. Felicia explains to Di that she is afraid to tell Charles about the studio, as he instantly assumes that when she’s not with him she’s with Eddie. At Di’s suggestion, Felicia arranges a dinner party with the Sterlings, in the hope that telling Charles in the presence of others will allow it to be discussed calmly. But Charles voices his fury anyway, saying that it sounds like a perfect love nest.. The Sterlings point out that he is not being deserted—he has his nurse, and Felicia will always be home to prepare dinner. But Charles isn’t mollified. , Charles decides his suspicions are correct when Eddie delivers a letter from Lisa to Felicia and Charles realizes he knows about the studio. He refuses to believe that Felicia didn’t tell Eddie, and rides her mercilessly. Finally Felicia realizes she can’t stand any more of this mental agony and packs, saying she needs time to think and so does he. Charles immediately calls at Eddie’s for her and is surprised that she’s not there. But his call worries Eddie, who goes to her studio to see if she’s there. He finds her about to drive to Maine, to her Aunt Mavis’s home. Felicia is touched by Eddie’s suggestion that he accompany her for her safety, but assures him she’ll be fine. Charles, meanwhile, has fallen from his wheelchair while reaching for the phone and hit his head.

She invites him in for something to eat, and since it’s very late, he spends the night in the spare bedroom. Felicia and Eddie spend the next several days walking in the woods and the evenings in front of the fire, developing a deep emotional closeness. Felicia finally tells him of her early father fixation and admits that she’s still a virgin, unable to have a physical relationship with a man. To her relief, he understands and sympathizes, and she agrees to try to make love with him. The attempt fails, and Felicia is embarrassed,but Eddie manages to make her see that sex is only one facet of his love for her, and when they try again later she is delighted to find that she can give herself to him with feeling and happiness. She decides she must return to Rosehill and ask Charles for a divorce. Cal and Rick honeymoon in St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, but Cal is a bit dismayed when Rick takes time off to discuss business with a restaurant owner.

Ray Slater tells Meg she stands to lose her investment in Beaver Ridge, since she has frozen Rick’s assets and he owns the controlling interest. So Meg gives Cal and Rick the news, upon their return, that her wedding gift is the dropping of the lawsuit. She then offers to sell her share of the club if Rick will again take over the place. Betsy has made strides toward establishing a life for herself and her daughter by renting an apartment, making arrangements for a mother’s helper, and asking Jamie for her old job back. Jamie assures her it’s available and ‘takes her to dinner. Betsy is annoyed when Meg stops by just as she’s returning home with Jamie, and she tells Meg she won’t stand for her checking up on her. Ben has been having problems ever since his prisonmates discovered he’s in for bigamy. This “pretty boy” offense makes him a susceptible target for advances and sadistic treatment. Duke and Pearson, the chief instigators, are pleased when Ben takes punishment and threats without squealing, but they decide to continue the treatment rather than let up. On the night  they decide to teach Ben what it’s really all about, he fights both of them, but tires and is on the floor under their knife when fire breaks out. Solly, the guard, starts to release the prisoners from their cells but is overcome by smoke. Ben rescues him, then returns to rescue the remaining prisoners, including Duke.

When Ben asks if she’ll visit again, she hesitates, not wanting to make any commitments. The warden tells Ben he’s putting him up for parole, and Solly thanks Ben for saving his life, offering his hope that the parole comes through. Learning of this possibility, Meg asks Bruce to intercede as mayor, and he refuses. She replies she expected that and already offered one of the prison-board members a contribution for a favorable report.
