Y&R: Week of May 25, 2009

Chloe doesn't care because being a mother to Delia is more important to her now. There was a scene where she is trying to convince Cane not to take Delia she said you made me a Chancellor, Billy made me an Abbott and Delia made me a mother.

I think the writers felt that they addressed Mac's history with JT by having Billy mention her "stint with JT".

Personally, I'll settle for honorable. For years Neil filled that role for me. He may not be the most exciting character, but I always felt I could count on him to simply do the right thing and I loved having that to count on. I guess I saw him as a great father figure type character. MAB killed all that in one fell swoop all for Tyra. Tyra!! If Neil had been married to Karen and Dru came back and Neil just had to be with her, that I would understand, but Tyra!

Now Mac is the only character left that I consider honorable. It's one of the reasons I have loved this character through all the casting and recasting problems. She's original. A good girl who rarely plays the pathetic victim. I can only hope that MAB understands the character. We have Chloe and Amber to raise hell and stab people in the back. Sharon to cry a bucket of tears every week. Mac tries to do what is right always, she doesn't break up families or steal husbands. She is a stoic. DO NOT %&* WITH MY MAC Y&R. Just do not do it.

This show needs a thorough clean up. :)

Let me use (annoying for some, I bet) an analogy from the mythology: it needs a Hercules who will clean the Augean stables in one day by rerouting the rivers Alpheus and Peneus to wash out the filth. B)

So no to large-scale slaughter, but a clean-up is necessary.

I'll admit to being a bit of a gossip whore, but when it comes to interviews, I know it's best to completely avoid them. I never buy soap magazines and I rarely click on an interview link, but every once in awhile my curiosity gets the better of me. I'm usually sorry.

Cutting down the cast, the young and the ruthless-like:

Eden

Jana

Kevin

Daniel*

Amber

Heather*

Tyra

Ana

JT

Victoria**

Colleen**

Lily**

Cane

Gloria*

Jeffrey* (even though I love the Shack)

* come back at a later stage

** come back at a later stage recasted

And I hear ya, dmarex, about needing to take time away and recharge the batteries. I'm thinking I need to do that, too.

I did like how enthusiastic Noah was about the baby. It was sweet. Yeah, the truth is bound to come out, but it was nice to see him support his mother. I would like to see more of Noah in Sharon's life. He is almost grown up. He should be his mother's greatest supporter not Jack.

Is Devon going off to look for his biological father? I cannot tell where this story is going exactly.

ITA. The one thing that has been made clear with Chloe is that she may be unwisely in love with Billy and care about material things, but unlike Billy, Delia is her priority. Chloe is a mother first and foremost. I love that this has not made her a bore. They now have to move her away from Billy and Mac into her own sphere. I miss seeing Chloe at work.

Am watching the beginning of Monday's episode after missing a week of Y&R and -- OMG! Why did nobody warn me about Billy's horrendous flip flops! OMG! My eyes! :o

I *heart* Billy and think BM exudes sexiness (especially when he's in a suit or quickly disrobing from one) but the lust factor just went down about 5 notches there.

Rul & Mac had five seconds together and they were sweetly hot. And Clementine looks beautiful with her hair tied back. Liz H looks exquisite too.

Detective Hotter-now-than-when-I-was-Justus-on-GH is on. Sweet.

I know. It was a shock for me, too. Docksiders, definitely. Billy is a prep. But flip-flops? Noooooo. Only the supermodel Gisele can pull off flip-flops. And that's cause she's Brazilian.

    • 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!
