Billy Miller did not get eating alive by Peter Bergman in those confrontation scenes over the affair. If you re-watch the scenes, Miller played it perfectly.

Peter Bergman underplays if that helps other co-stars. Usually people won't be eaten alive if he's in a scene with them. Miller's work varies heavily based on his scene partner.

Did Thommy really have chin implants?

He has said "yes" in several interviews.

I feel it in my bones that Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner will all be fired by the start of next year! :)

Or maybe that's just the booze talking, but anyway, keep the faith!

No disgusting, vile drunk posts! Don't infect this thread with foul drunkenness!

Brimike thinks we're in end-of-days, and none of these shows are gonna make TPTB changes before they go dark.

He said there might be TWO exceptions, seeing as Y&R has a better chance of outliving the other soaps, I say it's likely to be one of those two to get a regime change.

I don't think it's underplaying, just good acting. An actor shouldn't try to steal the thunder from his/her screen partner. Both should effectively play to each others strengths. Sure, one actor may steal a scene from another, but they shouldn't deliberately try to upstage the other. Nobody likes that.

Alvin I think you need to start drinking more milk bud, LoL.

I'm curious to see Tom Casseilo and Maria Arena Bell as headwriters, with Hogan and Hamner dumped.

At least one of us is.

I've said this a number of times, I think Maria needs to keep her EP credit and hand this show over to a proven writer with a fantastic track-record, not a recycled "hack." She might have nice ideas and the best of intentions, but when it comes to writing, her storylines are horribly executed, paced poorly, and come off as if they lack subtances overall in the long-run.

I'm curious, why Casiello though? I don't think anyone of us knows what his strengths and weaknesses as a writer are. I mean, the couple of episodes he's written the breakdown for on this show don't really give a lot away as to why he should be a HW. Also, like Maria, he doesn't have any experience being a HW, so I'm worried as to how that would work out.

Off all things to get an implant in I wonder why he chose his chin......

Oh dear. That's awful. It's like cheek implants. I wish people wouldn't do these things to themselves.

Thom Bierdz = Y&R's Ronn Moss.

Do not put Ronn Moss in the same category as Thom Bierdz!

So, I decided to drag this out of the Y&R Weekly Thread and post it in Potpourri since it has nothing to do with Weekly Discussion:

Cashton Says:

I hope they craft a really good romance tale for Rafe and Phillip. i hope it's epic and swoon-worthy. Right down to Phillip saving Rafe from Adam's clutches, punching Adam in his face, and swooping him away to a peaceful getaway. Would LOVE that!

What makes you, or anyone else, assume that this regime is even remotely interested in "romance" for these characters, especially gay characters? Everything with Hogan/Maria/Scott has been one cheap fling after another and the characters who do have a "romance" are building it off-screen(Nikki/Paul).

Romance does not equal cheap sex at the Abbott Cabin, GCAC Suite, or on Phyllis and Nick's couch.

Oh, and let's not forget Rafe and Adam had sex off-screen. That's how they treat gay couples and gay sex.

Rafe is played by an unproven newbie, Philip III is played by someone who has no interest in acting, just being and at best will be rusty. There has to be a 20 to 25 year difference in age between the two actors and Rafe looks all of 20. This writin regime has shown no interest in love or romance aside from the romance of two senior citizens. To me this is not a recipe for a sweeping romance.

Don't forget Michael and Lauren. They still share the romance in the one scene they share every two or three months.

WELL.... for a little light fun.... many of us have speculated whether in the Adam/Rafe tryst, Rafe was the "giver" or the "reciever". IT SEEMS that if Rafe were versatile, Yani has had PLENTY of trining for the role either way! (These are almost too good to be true)
