Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I can't believe you just typed that. LoL. LML also attempted to give Brad a past and that turned out to be sh-t. I seriously doubt that business stories attributed to Y&R's high ratings. Business was always the backdrop to more about the character's life.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 But do you think the dark tone of the show is uplifting a lot of people's spirit after they watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 What's the point? When they did go to work, they never physically did any work anyways. I truly don't get the big deal, especially when the show is firing (IMO) on other cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm not saying LML told great stories, they were crap. But at least she tried to tell different types of stories, she failed more than she succeeded, but at least she made an attempt. I didn't say they were the deciding factor in Y&R's high ratings, but the show thrived creatively when business was a huge part of its identity in the 80's and 90's.

Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 No, but it's entertaining (well to me). If you want to be uplifted put on some John Legend or go to church I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 That's the thing, many of us don't enjoy the current crop of storylines and their tone. So, I guess, that's where the division lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted June 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm actually itching for another Victor/Jack showdown and seeing Victor win LMAO. After what Jack pulled last year, he deserves to eat it!!! Oh Y&RWorldTurner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 If Olivia is going to be onscreen more often, can someone please do something about her hair. Im sorry but it looks a mess. I dont know what she thought that head band was doing for her, but wasnt masking how tired her weave looks. Kinda looks like a bad wig. She looks like she hasnt seen the inside of a hair saloon in weeks Chloe needs to dump that loser husband of hers. He doesnt deserve her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 I wouldn't say it was the business per se but rather the character dynamics. I can't criticize MAB in one breath while praise LML in another, while MAB continues to clean up her landfill. Yeah, she made an attempt, but where are the lasting ramifications?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yes, but many different types of storylines can entertain. I found myself getting bored with the constant bed hopping and the constant psycho antics. That's why I'm calling for the show to diversify its storytelling. You can't shove one particular tone at the audience and not expect some people to get turned off. I don't want the show to be all dark or uplifting. I think it works best when it incorporates many different facets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MTSRocks Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 Online viewers sure. Nooooooo!!! I can't stomach that pompous jackass. Or the sad sap Jack becomes when he's defeated once again. LoL. I do miss the Victor/Jack showdowns, but I think they work better in moderation, because it makes you long for more.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 15, 2009 Members Share Posted June 15, 2009 That's another thing, she's "cleaning up LML's mess" a little too much. I'm all for it, but she should try spacing these clean-ups over time, rather than hitting us with it at a constant pace. None of the current storylines are building any groundwork for the future, they're all exploring mistakes of past regimes or clearing up something from the past.
