Y&R: Episodes Discussion for the week June 22


Recommended Posts

If it were up to me -- and oh boy, it sure is not! -- I would cast Eden Riegel as Mac and Alexandra Chando as Colleen.

Vail Bloom would not only be a great Belle on DAYS, she would be definitive and make everyone forget about Kirsten Storms. KS only really blossomed when she went to GH as Maxie.

I know this sounds mean, but I don't think Eden is as pretty as EH. The thing with Billy is that he goes for hot girls. Sure he LUURVES Mac's heart, but Chloe is too hot to just turn down for someone not hot. Clem has definitely gotten better looking, but to me EH is still leaps and bounds hotter than Clem. Plus Eden looks spanish (don't know what her ethnicity is) but she's just so ethnic looking that I couldn't buy her as Mac. And her squeaky voice is cute but I don't see her on Y&R either. She should do GH...i think she'd fit there.

Clem is playing Mac as written, but she has absolutely NO chemistry with anyone on that show, especially Billy Miller. There's no spark between those two, and Clem seems uncomfortable in closer, intimate scenes.

Mac is obviously a hard role to recast, as two recasts failed, people aren't sure about Clem, and even Ash Bash wasn't that well liked. But the writing for the character hasn't exactly been great either.

But anyway, maybe this talk should move over to the Potpourri thread, since it isn't strictly episode talk? :unsure:

I saw a Patty Jane promo today! Wish I could post it. SH and her character are about to get so much press. I can't wait for the big interviews that are coming up now that her identity has been revealed.

Did you all know there was ANOTHER Patty before Lilbet Stern - Tammy Taylor, her IMDB says one episode. Does anyone other than Mark think a Cane and PAtty coupling would work? If not, who would you want Patty to be with? Or should she just stay alone with Kitty...LOL!

I'm lazy and didn't want to read through 14 freaking pages already. But, I just adore Nina/Tricia but especially with the Jill/Katherine scenes. The fact that she's hot on Cane's trail is an even bigger plus for me.

As far as Mac goes, I still think it's the vapid character and not the actress.

Exactly! Now I feel like I have to go around actually rating these posts, kind of like i try to give the posters who are low rated 5 stars. This feature needs to die, just like poster ratings.

Even though I'm sorry that Kaye is probably in on Phillip's deception, at least it makes a little more sense this way. He would have needed her help to pull this off. Plus this will reignite the Jill/Kaye feud.

    • I like that this episode highlighted the ramifications of what Eva and her rotten mama did. They were so focused on Ted and Nicole, not even realizing that other people would be affected. Eva thought nothing of what she did to Mona bc she was sure no on would hold anything against her but Mona is right in that they ruined her reputation with the Duprees. They dont blame her but they will likely never trust her judgement again. She has to walk by them feeling the guilt and shame that she'll never live down bc she unknowingly played a role in the hell that was unleashed. Not to mention the trauma and trust issues she no has bc she genuinely viewed Leslie as a friend   And poor Laura nearly died when she had that car accident and then had a heart attack and infection bc she was poisond. She's been recuperating for 3 months. She missed her trip to Hawaii and no idea what impact this has done on her relationship and her own plans but no on was thinking about that.   Eva and Leslie need to be made to feel like ish bc this was bigger than just Ted and Nicole

    • Understand your point.  But I usually see Reginald's mustache twirling villainy as ultra campy bordering on comedic (albeit unsuccessfully).  And upon Reginald's exit, most of the overt camp/comedy seemed to cease. And although I'm aware camp and comedy are not exactly the same thing, I tend to throw them together anyway -- especially when discussing soaps.  You are correct, Mary was not played for laughs.  When I used to term "let's play everything for laughs" I didn't mean literally everything or every character was comedic. But TPTB put so much effort into comedy, it did tend to eat the show for a few years (again not literally). I'm just expressing my perspective on the topic, and lots of folks probably disagree.  That's cool. People who like comedy on soaps tend to defend it, and folks who don't like comedy (or think it want too far) tend to criticize it.  Whichever side of the fence one is on, it sure didn't help the ratings on AW. 
    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
