Y&R: Week of May 18, 2009

I didn't see a thing between Jill and Neil. Not an iota. Walton is trying to play her sexual chemistry with all men now...true to character...but she doesn't spark with Neil. She sparked a lot more with Malcolm :).

That's a good question about Walter and Lillie Bell. I have just assumed they died...since they were not mentioned for their granddaughter's wedding :).

I'm taken aback at how old Della looks...walking with a cane. It's appropriate...but that's not my mental image of Della. But I love her. I personally first became aware of her on Chico and the Man....and I have enjoyed her ever since. Like Murphy, the show needs to replenish its "wise elders"...and I feel Della could totally do the trick.

She's probably too expensive to put on contract, though. :(.

Nick clearly loves Sharon, and while he may love Phyllis too, it's a horrible marriage when your spouse isn't fully committed to you and loves you as much as he loves his ex as a his wife.

They've established many times that Nick loves Sharon, and that's fine and all. But he IS married to Phyllis and why does Phyllis let herself to be the doormat to her husband's love for another woman?

The misogyny is horrible.

Phyllis KNOWS Billy and Sharon shagged. She KNOWS Billy could be the sperm donor.

She needs to drop that bomb SOON. Because that will impair Nick's ability to 'bond' with "his" child and "his" child's mother. That bomb must be used at the earliest convenience if Phyllis wants to save this union.

This is a Bell soap. It is part of the brand formula.

Look, Alvin (because I know he'll read this at some point), I know how frustrated you are w/ Y&R right now, because I was in the exact same boat several years ago w/ GL. That show had gone down more than just the tubes, despite what all the Jammy and Jeffrey/Reva fans wanted to believe. In the end, though, did all my hue-and-crying over GL's sad state make one bit of difference? Obviously not. If anything, I elevated my stress level over something that had been in my family for three generations, but was out of our control whether I wanted it to be or not. Therefore, I gained nothing.

I do not want the same to happen with you. It isn't healthy. If there were some way you could influence TPTB to hire a new (and better) HW, I'm sure you'd have done it by now. Truth is, though, the Bells seem happy with their choice, and so do many, many fans. All we "candle-holders" (a term Danny-and-Michelle fans gave to us longtime GL fans who they believed "kept living in the past") can do is either sit and find something about the show that's still worthwhile, or just walk away.

Sharon can do the nastiest of things, and it won't change the way Nick feels about her. They've firmly established this. It's another emotionally abusive relationship, but there's unconditional love there that doesn't die.

I'm a complainer, what can I say? :lol:

I enjoy some things about the show, but at the moment, it does not impress me overall and I think the general quality is quite sub-par, that's all.

Well, I'd be inclined to think that if his SON told him how f*cked up they all are, Nick might listen.

But maybe not.

Victor, Nikki and Ashley also never listened regarding how f*cked up THEY all were. This is the Newman dynamic. It is part of why Victoria and JT fail...no visible dysfunction.

I don't think she needs to in order to be Neils fiesty SO. Constantly pushing him to go up against Victor or whomever to get what he deserves. Neil just needs someone with spunk. Jill or Nina are just the ones who come to mind.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people. Edit to add: The reason this may be impossible to source, and therefore of no use, is because it was not a public statement. She is supposed to have said it at the show, about the show, to colleague/s, one of whom repeated it in public, but that is convoluted to try to track down, so feel free to ignore. I did do some looking & I am not optimistic.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
