Y&R: Week of May 25, 2009

[MarkH]

On the other hand, Devon was excellent. They're letting him say what the audience is feeling.

Neil seemed to really just be wanting to continue doing what he is doing. To Tyra, he wanted to continue f*cking her...with no strings, no worry about the impact on Ana.

(Not that Ana will care. Jemia reacts to nothing with any emotion).

To Devon, he wanted to say "I make mistakes...don't judge me".

Kristoff/moonboy better insist on some character repair soon. Or maybe Neil is secretly drinking, and we don't know it?

And Hayley Erin...am I the only one who can find NOTHING redeeming in Abby? Did she ever erase that slight smile while finding out her mother was in the hospital? She's all up-talk...I cannot stand her (and I feel guilty, because she is young)

Not just reinstated. But in the course of a single episode she served as an obstetrician AND ultrasound tech!!! No MD in America would do all that.

And tomorrow, she'll be a brain surgeon too or something.

[Cheap21]

I hate when shows do that...have 1 doctor be the doctor of every ailment known to man. Its ridiculous but I guess they need to give her airtime somehow

[cara mia]

GC is a small town. Their doctors do it all.

Adam is so freaking evil and CE is damn perfect in this role. ARGH!!! I was on pins & needles worried about Adam getting away, not poor Ashley losing her baby. That's f-ed up, isn't it?

JT is so wasted. How about pairing him with Chloe? I bet they would be hot together.

I am so sick of the Quad. Just [!@#$%^&*] buy a big house and the four of you live together in a four-person marriage.

[Cheap21]

I love Sharon but I hate how her extreme skankiness is being brushed under the rug. She is the BIGGEST hot mess in daytime today. I really think the show should have more people call her out besides Phyllis. She makes Jack look pathetic going unphased by her f-cking every Dick, John and Harry and not even being a little upset wtih her

Adam is so stupid, making his way all the way to the hospital in order to further torture Ashley. What a risky and balssy move

[Toups]

Stafford, Case, Bergman brought it today....and they bring it AGAIN in tomorrow's US episode.

I am totally loving evil Adam and his plotting and I love the background music that always plays during this storyline.

I love it. LOL It makes sense budget wise though. They don't have to pay other actors for those parts. I think Eve from Passions holds the record....she did EVERYTHING. LOL

[Y&RWorldTurner]

You know what music cue I HATE? The one they always play for Mac and Billy, and I remember it was used a lot when Nick and Phyllis began their affair in 2005. It sounds like something that should be used for a murder mystery or something.

[Toups]

Did it play recently? If so, which scene?

[MarkH]

I was right there with you! I'm still nervous Victoria might see his empty room.

JT needs to get disillusioned (like today--being assigned to babysit Abby), he needs to get drunk and snarky, and he needs to have sex with someone really wrong (like, say, Ashley). That'll fix it. Then, once snarky, he needs to be reconnected to Mac for a chemistry test.

I guess. When I saw Case, all wide eyed and desperate, I thought of her playing a strung out model in Valley of the Dolls or something. I guess I'm just having a hard time accepting how screwed up Sharon is.

WHY does Jack want another kid? What is his motivation?

[Soapsuds]

Ugh, I can't stand Sharon. I wish Phyliss would run her down with her car.

[DeeeDee]

Jill :wub:

[cara mia]

I feel sorry for Jack because PB always brings it, but I am pretty sick of the whole quad and for that I blame the writers not the actors. It's hard to feel bad for Jack when he could have Mary Jane. Yeah, she's psycho but Jack doesn't know that. He's turned away a hot smart woman for the weepy mess that is Sharon, who he knows will never love him like she loves Nick. Then there's Sharon, who is an idiot. Boo hoo, Nick left her. Get over it! Get a job. Appreciate the good guy that is Jack. She's so ridiculous at this point. Then there's Phyllis, that stupid slut. What did she expect? She married a cheating cheater who cheats. No pity for her. Then there's Nick. He should be at Newman, working 18 hour days, making sure that Victor leaves him the empire. Instead little Nicky makes all decisions for him. What woman wants a man who's treating a potential billion dollar inheritance like an extra-curricular activity?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It's in the beginning of this scene. They use it all the time for Mac and Billy scenes.

Here it is during a Nick and Phyllis scene taken directly from Sally Sussman Morina's site.

This totally cracked me up. Gawd, the quad is stomach churning and it never ends. I love PB and it sucks that he is stuck in this horrible quad. It blows me away that neither Sharon or Phyllis prefer Jack to empty as a shell Nick. How is that possible? Phyllis' despair is entertaining so at least that is something. Her lack of self-awareness is amazing.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

This ridiculous Tyrant propping is truly vomit-inducing.

So, what did we learn in today's episode?

-Tyra is mother of the year material.

-It was OK for Tyra and Neil to hook up 5 minutes after Karen divorcing Neil.

-Tyra feels guilty about the kind of message she's sending to Ana. Poor Tyra.

God, this show really ignores its problem areas...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

And oh, I love Jack and Phyllis. They aren't afraid to be who they really are around one another, they don't strive to hide their true feelings around each other, like Phyllis does with Nick, and like what Jack does with Sharon.

I hate how they're trying to imply Phyllis's marriage and relationship with Jack didn't matter and that Nick is the be all and end all of her relationships. Phyllis and Jack had their problems, but Phyllis really became a better person and strived for better in her life when she was with Jack, not Nick. I love Jack and Phyllis, f-ck you haters!
