Y&R: Week of May 25, 2009


Recommended Posts

The early 20 to mid-late 20's set on this show sucks. They needs a nasty psychotic bitch with vulnerability to shake things up, and no, Chole does not cut it. They're all too nice and passive, and yes, bland.

When Phillip IV comes back, Y&R needs it's own Clare Devine. :lol:

Hire Gemma Bissix and let her do the rest. They can totally rip-off the Clare and Max storyline Hollyoaks did, and the character can end up penetrating and reeking havoc and a number of characters lives, in multiple age groups.

Good one. I feel so stupid for going into this discussion. I was merely commenting on Vail and somehow I "turned into someone totally else." Amazing.

Sadly, we all know where

Nothing like a little hatred for the character in the very beginning.

Are we now not putting the spoilers up anymore?

But why say it at all (and that goes for all of us)? When we start getting into how other people post, that always leads this thread astray and people end up in fights. If we just stay focused on Y&R and not worry about who is positive and who is negative we can avoid the drama (maybe).

Why not? Summer isn't the driving force that keeps the characters together. I don't know what the driving force is it was/is not Summer. Summer is what drives Sharon away from Nick "she" doesn't drive Nick away from Sharon. I personally don't mind them beating the life out of Phick just because of what the union did to each character, but from where I stand Summer was never the TRUE obstacle from Nick's POV in leaving Phyllis and being with Sharon. I have no idea what the big obstacle is or was for Nick though, it seems like Sharon herself is an obstacle.

The thread about GH's opening made me wonder if Y&R will be getting their new opening as MAB once said, now that the franchise fee was cut. Do you all think it's good, bad, old, or just fine?

IMO, hte graphics are outdated and the theme is fine - it just needs to be freshened with some deeper orchestrations.

Absolutely!

Well, I can't say I wouldn't enjoy it... But I don't want another cheater. So kill Jana first, please. That tumor. It can progress rapidly. Then bring EO'B to B&B as some saucy british designer.

Yes! I guess the idea is that Tammin has some "in" at Sony...but d*mn, this is another squandered core family member in that critical 20s age group.

Jamia needs to go to N.H. art school again, and Patty needs to sing again!

If

ends up with Lily, I will spit. SPIT.

We need to do like Cashton. Post buzzed, and get new jobs/boys/jeans!

Why do you say that?

I don't think it Summer. I think Nick and Phyllis got-and-stayed together because of the most incredible and ongoing chemistry any two humans can experience. They will feel the lack of it all the rest of their days.

I am sick, sick, sick of Nadia's Theme. I was when they did that delicious red porn opening. I want them to save Nadia's Theme for special occasions, but give me a fresh new theme. Like red-porn, it can be a reorchestration/new arrangement/sampling of Nadia...but I really need some sumptuous color and new music in that opening.

Like--could they at least arrange the theme in some more exciting way? I know nothing about music... How about let Adam Lambert sing the lyrics in some funky cool new arrangement?

    • 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!
