Members dm. Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Exactly. I guess SON brings things out of people that they never even knew they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Amen. Well, my jury is out on Cane, but I otherwise agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah... I can understand that. However, I don't think why two opposite views can't co-exist. I.e. MarkH and dmarex are all absolutely thrilled with Y&R, Alvin and I do not like it. So the thread goes: bits of praise, bits of criticism. And that's all.

Members rhythmchyc Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 . There're no characters with backbone. Everyone's either wishy-washy (Phickron, Neil) or when faced with a tough decsion, they take the easy way out (Billy, Lame) so that they don't have a human foundation anymore. It's unfortunate that the only person with any real motivation is Adam as well. This comes with solid pacing, which we all know is a major weak point on this show right now, where people drop out of the sky and put these characters on these paths that lead to real self-discovery or revelation. That's where the weakness is, I think. If the pacing is improved, everything will fall into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Absolutely thrilled is going a bit too far. This is where I see the problems: Devon, Cane, Victoria, Lily, J.T., Tyra, Ana, "Colleen"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I will credit the show with this much: Across the internet, the Engen (real life) incident and the Phick breakup have just FUELED soap sites, message boards, etc. Y&R dominates all these settings. They have definitely--within the narrow internet posting communities--created buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 The Y&R thread never brings me down, but that's because I'm invested in Y&R in a much different way than I am GH. With Y&R I love the show as a whole. It wouldn't bring me down even if every single person hated my favs, especially because I don't ship couples, even though I have certain hopes. For example Y&R could put Kevin with about 4 different people and it would make me happy (Amber is my preference), but with some other shows, there is so little to love, if I don't get the couples I want I tend to be a lot more disappointed about it.

Members MarkH Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 We haven't seen them together enough, but I'd like Kevin chemistry-tested with Mackenzie or (AL-preferably) Colleen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 And about that buz... It was negative buzz. It wasn't: OMG! Y&R has these awesome stories right now, it's must-see TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Sylph, you've had problems with many on this board so dont come off as a saint please. You dont like anything on soaps now period. And you are just Alvin's lapdog..agreeing with him because you got the hots for him. I still have those PMs you sent me...LOL. You were so love dovey back then with me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Both of those would work for me. I could see Kevin with Amber, Mac, Colleen or Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 :lol: Sylph found a weakness in Alvin and is now enjoying every minute of it. The point is... Jana needs to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 LMAO! Don't turn this around: it was you who wanted to see a photo of me and everyone else who posted in that (long dead) photo thread! And you had hots for Alvin and kept badgering him. I felt nothing but disgust ever since I've heard stories about you and your doings aroung here and a that ban you survived. I've never sent you "love dovey" PMs. Never.
