Y&R: Week of May 25, 2009

[dm.]

So now I'm pretending?

It's this huge amount of hate for this show that's worrying me. The only good thing left on daytime is being dragged through the mud by some.

[Soapsuds]

Vail to Alvin: You're just jealous because I am more beautiful than you.

[dm.]

Putting her to "Colleen's" level... damn. That's just frightening. And stupid.

That's what you think.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I'm so sorry I don't have an ant colony living on my upper lip, Vail.

[dm.]

Maybe you two should stay out of this thread until you get your dreamy writers to take over the show.

[MarkH]

Cashton said he'd turn straight for her .

If you read the bio next to the pics at the link I sent...OMG. She was such a party girl at Princeton !

I wish they had brought THAT sensibility to Heather. She'd do it well...she DOES it well with Adam. Damn, they waste what is best about her.

And yes, you're showing part of it, RH. Why not just exploit that?...it's not a bad thing.

[Soapsuds]

i am gay and find her hot too.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

To you maybe, but Vail occupies the same space as Tammin. Neither of them get much screen time and they're used mostly to prop other characters.

She has yet to prove me wrong, so it's what I know at this point.

[Sylph]

Or maybe you could stop fuelling it artificially further?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

But this is the Y&R discussion thread, aren't we supposed to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of this show?

There's nothing wrong with wanting better for the show, Sylph and I just don't feel the need to compromise for more mediocrity at this point.

[Soapsuds]

I don't find Vail that bad. Y&R has far worse actress...shudders ...Valley Girl..Lilly....cringe...Colleen...ugh...not to mention Ms. Aussie Woman

Hell....Vail is a better actor than Fake Phillip!

[dm.]

Baiting much?

Please explain to us dumb people what it means to artificially fuel the show further...

[Juliajms]

I used to think that they could, but then I realized that it's just the discussion itself that was pulling me down. I think if reading someone else's negative opinion is really pulling you down it's time to take a break. I left a GH board for that very reason. I don't find SON all that negative myself.

Anyway, I like Heather well enough, so you aren't the only one dmarex.

[Sylph]

The thread. And I didn't need to bait you, you were nasty: "maybe you two can stay away", blah, blah. That was just nastiness and you weren't baited to say it.

[MarkH]

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that a creature with a pulse would not find her hot.

I really feel (including acting ability) she has the potential to be the next Sharon Case or Katherine Kelly Lang.

Yes, I know that is a VERY specific niche...but it is one that has served two shows well. They've made the mistake of making her too hard and too smart...rather than the Hawaiian Tropic girl she is.

She should have been a girl with stars in her eyes, too trusting, maybe too sexy....the template on which the above mentioned young ladies and Nikki were all built. As the daughter of Paul, she could have been the young sexpot ingenue who lurches from mistake to mistake, building a fandom of prurient admirers and those who suffer with her through each agony.

It's not too late. She shows some real signs of being stupid and sexy despite being ADA. I'd disbar her, and then have her start over as a model or something. And from there, she needs to find her Nicholas/Ridge.
