Y&R: Week of May 11, 2009

No, it's not because they are Australian, it's because Sursok is badly miscast and Goddard should never have been made PIII and here's why:

The only thing that I like about the character of Cane is the chemistry Goddard has with Jess.

EXACTLY! Goddard is a little better than Sursok but that's not saying much!

I don't think it was a mistake killing off Phillip because the character of Nina flourished in a way that would've never happened if Phillip remained alive. Plus with Thom Biertz being gay and having those personal family issues, he wouldn't have remained on the show so it would've meant another recast or Phillip being off screen. I think killing Phillip was brave and the aftershocks were felt for an extremely long time. Nina was constantly brought back into Jill and Katherines orbit and Phillip's legacy remained important to the show. In fact, I'd say it's one of *the* best handled deaths, even if it meant losing Phillip III.

I agree, Bill Bell did a great job of telling stories and the death and it's after math of P III were no exception.

I think Y&R needs to make a decision. Either recast or use TS. I don't have a strong preference. I liked AL much better, but I could live with TS. Having Colleen go up against TBVN could have been a solid story, especially because it might bring in JT/Vikki and shake them up as JT tries to protect his former love.

Yep, that's part of it. I think they should have saved the trashing of Sharon's apartment for Mary Jane instead. I wasn't a immediate fan of SH, but she's won me over. That voice, those eyes, that figure. Perfection. See, I could tolerate Gloria if she was more like this (minus bat sh!t crazy).

I like SH, and I didn't like her at first either, but I'm a little baffled by the intense love here. I mean, thus far, she's done quite well at playing the slightly psycho MJ, but we haven't actually seen her do much else. I feel like I'm missing something, or that I've missed scenes that have shown her range or real ability as an actress.

Fittingly,the proposal for Paul/Nikki takes place at Crimson Lights-that's where most of their'romance' played out.

After injecting himself,Adam muttered something about'this should do the trick for the next 6 months'

So,he waited for the moment the doctor arrived to inject himself?If it lasts that long,why didn't he do it earlier?Wouldn't an eye specialist have noticed the eye had been recently injected?

I'm so thrilled Kevin and Amber are free!! Yeeeeh!! what's the point of these stories if they are all wrapped up in a big bow 2 weeks later?

Personally, I've been noticing the subtle nuances she adds to the character. She may be mentally unstable, but their is a likability to the actress, she injects dimension into a role that could end up being dead weight. I also love how she uses her facial expressions to convey MJ's emotions. She's not very in your face, but if you watch closely her body language and acting is spot on. I'm a fan!

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
