Y&R: Week of June 8, 2009

[Cat]

I'm late to the proceedings but... welcome to the board, pharmie!

I think your perspective on Y&R will be an additional asset to our crazy Y&R threads.

[Juliajms]

Yes. Because Cassie's twin isn't Cassie.

[MarkH]

Yes, on yesterday's show, Cane said the following words:

[Cat]

Handbags at the ready: Nina and Philip bitchfight!

[soapydoc]

Nina's going to ask Kay to hold her earrings. Gonna be good!!!!

[Cat]

:lol: LMAO! And Philip will ask Jill to hold his. (Earrings, I mean).

[MarkH]

Who will hold Adam's?

[Cat]

Well, since all of Adam's jewelery prob belonged to Ma Chérie Amour, I'm thinking Victoria. Sabrina would have wanted it that way.

[MarkH]

OMG!

[sheilaforever]

:lol:

I'm so glad Tricia Cast is back. Kay/Jill/Nina are gonna be so explosive when it all comes out that either one of us viewers or of the ladys are gonna suffer heart attacks...

In all shortness due to lack of time: even with flaws (I don't consider the general mood too dark, BTW) Y&R under MAB is the closest to really great soap opera I've seen in years. Hell, she even brought back those little moments: classic friendships, long gone family members pop up. And there is always an afternath: so Kevin and Jana get legally off of all charges - like on a any other soap. But there are serious consequences, social consqences. How novel! At moments like these I feel right at home in Genoa City which is really far away from real life but at the same is the closest to it in all of television.

Man did I forget about this one, they dropped this like a hot potato

[MarkH]

I'm mailed the weekly SOD Insider, and it contained this nice behind-the-scenes snipped about Amelia Heinle and Thad Luckinbill's 18-month old son:

[alphanguy74]

Oh dear. Hysterical pregnancy? Is this a real thing? I'm NOT liking this turn, if it goes farther down the road. If she just "thinks" it in her mind... I'm ok with that, but if she gets big with no baby... that's TOO OUTLANDISH for me. Unless it really can happen? I'm confused.

[MTSRocks]

Medical dictionary:

A condition in which a woman believes that she is pregnant when she is not. Certain signs and symptoms suggest pregnancy, such as the absence of the menses, although conception has not occurred and therefore there is no embryonic development. The condition may be psychogenic in origin or caused by a tumor or endocrine dysfunction.

I did some reading, and I guess i'ts a real thing! I still think it's ill advised to do this, many viewers will think theyr'e making it up.
