Y&R: Week of May 18, 2009

[Antoyne]

So keeping a man locked in his basement and setting up cameras so the guy can watch him bone his wife isn't comic relief villain.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

We don't even know if it's really happening. I think Mary Jane will have murderous intentions, regardless of Victor's influence. I think she'll go against him and up the ante in a way Victor doesn't agree with. In other words, it's going to get out of hand for Victor.

[YRBB]

That's the same as

?

That actually sounds great. But, comparing something character-building like the Michael/Julia thing with something character-destroying like Victor having Jack killed is funny.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Victor CLEARLY doesn't know how disturbed Mary Jane is. He probably thinks he has her under control, he probably has no idea what vendetta she has against Jack. If she tries to kill Jack, Victor will be indirectly responsible for it, since he brought her to town.

[YRBB]

And that is wonderful soap irony--he's responsible, but OTOH, not really. (Although he is dealing with a woman who was willing to change her face to get revenge, that isn't clue enough?). But if he directs MJ to "get rid of Jack," or something more direct than that, then....

[Aback]

And I hope Nikki will make him pay dearly!

'You brought that Mary Jane woman into our lives! It's your fault that (insert name) died/was kidnapped/etc.'

But I know it'll never happen.

[dm.]

Ummmm... I'm not a lady.

[Juliajms]

I think you are on to something Cashton.

[dm.]

??

[MarkH]

Going waaay back, because I guess staying away from SON a few hours means your are pages behind....

I'd like that...but I think some people would feel that twists Adam's established heterosexuality too far...and it pushes some kind of agenda.

Definitely classic soap with a unique twist.

I totally agree that having Victor INTENTIONALLY try to

is...shark-jumping. I am staying calm, though, cause EB won't allow it.

LOL

Totally. That's what I'm 90% sure is the real story. Hoping, anyway. Otherwise I joining the chorus of complainers, for real.

LOL. Yes, even if Mary Jane jumps the rails and leaves TGVN's control, Nikki may well get the joy of uttering those words (and maybe, in the process, Victor will soften toward her...yeah right!). [if MTS/Character stays on the show].

[dm.]

Well, he has been softening for awhile now, so it might just happen...

MTS can not and will not leave. We've got to believe that.

[Juliajms]

I'm saying I think Cashton's theory does make sense. I was piggybacking not responding directly to you.

[dm.]

Ah, right. Sorry for the confusion.

[Sylph]

Sorry, cara mia, but this is total bullsh!t! Awfully, crappy, hastily written story. Adam never ever showed any signs of homosexuality and further more always looked like a person who is totally disgusted by it and would puke if someone suggested that scheme to him.

Unique twist? Serisouly, Mark...

[MarkH]

I'm sorry...what did you find to be not unique?
