Y&R: Week of June 1, 2009

[MarkH]

That would be perfect. Divorced. She RAPES HIS BANK ACCOUNT. Seriously, he's penniless after she's done with him. Maybe they've even had heated conflict over the divorce all summer.

But then they look at each other across the room, and their groins just cry out for one another.

And the dance begins anew. So, yup, I think the divorce is a TERRIFIC idea to jump start the second chapter of their story, and their slow way (cue "Can't Fight This Feeling") back to one another!

You'd make a great writer for a soap!

[Juliajms]

I was very disappointed when she said she didn't want his money. Screw that!! Let Sharon be the noble one (Which she was in their divorce). Phyllis should take him for what he's worth.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

But Nick will be too preoccupied with Sharon during November sweeps, isn't she due to give birth that month? And we know, Sharon comes before Phyllis on his list of priorities.

Meanwhile, a new character that was introduced in September is slowly charming Phyllis's heart. She told him she wasn't ready for a new relationship yet, but the two passionately connect after Phyllis signs her divorce papers. Thus, a new chapter really has begun.

[MarkH]

LMAO! It will be fun, either way.

If I can keep watching, given this MTS bullsh!t.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Well, not like this is the first time MTS has had contract negotiation trouble. Didn't she clean out her dressing room the last time and was intent on not re-signing?

[Sylph]

Completely out of control.

[DeeeDee]

Amen!

[MTSRocks]

For fuc.ks sake come up with some originality already instead of this constant negativity. You might as well just copy and paste your post from now on.

Good show today, been awhile since Sharon/Nikki shared a scene. Speaking of Sharon, is it time to write the character out?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't see how she's any less useless than Nick or Phyllis.

[Juliajms]

That's not fair. If people don't like the show they can express that.

I wouldn't mind a 6 month break. I wish Sharon and Nick would take a long vacation.

[Juliajms]

Even three months in an institution (off screen) would work for me. Nick can go with her. She's such a weepy needy mess, that after watching her screw 3 guys for months, a little break would do the character a lot of good. She could comeback with her head on straight again ready to be a mother to her children and a wife to Nick (presumably).

[MTSRocks]

Heh, I don't take it back but you're right (and also too damn nice LoL).

I wouldn't mind the poster if he/she/whatever offered some constructive criticism instead of the same old drivel. But oh well, I guess I could follow my own lead and the only posts I'll see from said poster is a black line(s).

Whatever, write them out too.

Out of the three, I do find Stafford to be the most captivating actor though. I've seen little growth from Sharon, and Case keeps playing her so wimpy, and the writers keep writing her like a tramp (in character.)

[Juliajms]

I can't even post in the AMC thread because Zendull brings out the ugly in me. Hey, if nothing else, soap fans have passion.

[MarkH]

Absolutely. But this game playing gets old.

[Cashton]

Awesome show today. Bravo to Tom Cassiello - i thought his Winters episode was blah, but today he did everything right.

- Poor Ashley.

- If I had any faith in the Emmys, MS's Emmy would be awaiting a playmate. She's just flawless. I almost got mad again today that they haven't utilized her for the past few years.

- SH though, she's just superb. I can't even imagine what MJ is going to do next. I'd also weigh in that SH should teach a master class in anti-heroines. Best casting of a new role I've seen since, well EH.

- CE cemented his idiocy today - whatever the reason he left this role, he's the biggest fool for leaving. It's the meatiest role for a young male on daytime.

- Nick truly seemed just like his father's son today for the first time to me. His will to do just what he wanted, regardless of the consequences was Victor Newman. JM isn't the best actor, but his character makes a lot of sense to me, is intersting and I'm glad he'll never be able to get on his high horse again or for a very long time.
