Y&R: Update to Adam and Rafe Rumor


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I would never defend Branco but CE may have quit because he figured that Rafe & Adam would eventually kiss, even if it wasn't currently in the script. That said, the comments from ED strongly suggest CE was upset about the whole Adam storyline and not particularly the gay content. Who knows?

And this is may problem with Branco. It's all gossip. He is getting stuff second hand. There is no way in hell that CE or Paul Rauch or Yani Gellman are calling up NB to give him the unvarnished truth. The question becomes exactly who are NB's sources? I would make an educated but not scientific guess that his sources may be one or more of the actors he gushes over: Thom Bierdz, Billy Miller, Michael Grazadei, Greg Rikaart, Elizabeth Hendrickson. Whoever it might be, NONE of them are directly involved in the Ram storyline. So they would have gotten the story second hand and like any game of telephone, facts change with every telling. ED and EB are upset with CE for quitting but neither of them hinted that the gay storyline was the reason. They both said it was about how evil Adam had become. Who would know better than them? Branco's story is based on an UNNAMED source who was probably not directly involved in the storyline.

Back to the show, since this is the spoiler thread, we know that P3 will be gay, which MANY of us predicted. I am not especially interested in Rafe & P3 but I am VERY interested in the idea of Adam & P3. I posted somewhere in another board that they're taking Adam in a David Kimble direction, so how about a classic retelling of the David/Nina story with Adam/P3?

Oh, that just sucks. Adam being gay is a complete joke. People have to learn to accept that and live with it. It is utter nonsense. Furthermore, please, no more retellings... They're killing this show, those recycled, seen fifty times storylines.

Adam is having sex with a man. Whether he likes it or not, he's now officially a bisexual. He would not be able to perform if he didn't have at least have some attraction to men. Maybe he's only aslightly gay -- like 2 on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being totally straight and 10 being totally gay. But he's definitely no longer 100% straight.

Wait a second?

If Adam says "Oh no...I've got to divert him. I know, I'll f*ck him!". And then he fantasizes about Heather or whomever will giving it to Rafe, trying desperately to keep it up to perpetuate his ruse, does that make him bi?

Or if Adam just performs oral sex on Rafe...not getting any joy...but just to distract Rafe, does that make him bi?

IMO, no...but that's just me.

Mark, I believe that Homosexuality is on a scale. It's not a simple case of straight, gay or bisexual. Adam, by being able to go through with the act, is at least a little bit gay. I don't have a problem with that all because I believe all of us are somewhere on the scale. I'm straight but not 100% straight. I would be willing to experiment with Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie or Charlize Theron! IMO, if I were 100% straight, I would find the thought of same-sex relations with any woman repulsive. Most women don't intrigue me but a few do so I am not a 1 on the Kinsey scale. The vast majority of my male gay friends told me that they are occasionally attracted to women and even sometimes sleep with them. I've only meet a handful or gays or lesbians who are 100% gay. And most of my straight friends (especially women) have told me that they either crushed on someone of the same sex once or even experimented.

As for Adam, I know it would never happen, but I thought that TPTB should have played a strange attraction between Jack & Adam. PB & CE had this very interesting chemistry and CE (perhaps unconsciously) played Adam as having a man crush on Jack. I don't mean a conventional romance -- just a kind of angry attraction that maybe one day exploded in a kiss.

Oh, I'm ALL about the Kinsey scale. What I'm saying, though, is that this "sick and twisted" Adam (his words, this ep) could in fact be a "1" on the Kinsey scale, and STILL suck off Rafe if he needed to, with no desire whatsoever.

I saw the CE/PB chemistry too...but I also saw the resemblance (in coloring, etc.). For me, a cool twist would have been to show that the close Jack-Hope friendship once yielded a brief indiscretion. And from that...sprung Adam.

No, because that means all the gay guys who have had sex with woman are either a little bit straight or bi and I don't believe that at all. I think men are very capable of performing with a less than ideal partner for any number of reason that have very little to do with desire for that individual person. Gay for pay, prison homosexuality and saving one's ass from TGVN all seem to fall under that category, imo. I'm sorry, but I think one would have to be very very homophobic to choose life in prison and the wrath of Victor over a 10 min roll in the hay with Rafe. It's called survival.

One of the reasons I find this a totally crappy tale is that in order to get Rafe out of his way, "seducing" him is the first thing he does. First. Not, like, fifteenth, when it might have been more plausible. But to think that the first thing a heterosexual guy would do is seduce another guy in order to escape something when there are tons of other ways to do it is why this story sucks.

See, with Muhney now playing him, I don't see him as this wacko who cannot control what he does. He is very manipulative, controlling, calculated. It makes zero sense to me. I can completely see the haste in writing, the desperate conquest for SHOCK! value...

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxpFaAp_UY/ Roman vs. Stefano, Cliff top, Beach Below This is one of the most important scenes on DAYS in the 80s. After this nothing was ever the same. DAYS 11-23-84   @JAS0N47Closing Credits roll & it's complete silence. Isn't that unusual?
    • Mack was the show's moral compass and his groundedness complimented Karen's hysteria perfectly. Also, Kevin Dobson was the best looking male cast member with a huge fan base. He was never going to be killed off...
    • As others (I think) have said, Long just didn't get Nola and Quint. I guess it would've been hard to write them into adventure type stories with two kids, but they just fell off the map after AJ's birth. (or even the wedding/honeymoon) Long would've had to rewrite something, because Alex forced the Chamberlains out of Spaulding in the fall of '84. Not that she couldn't have just ignored it and written Quint and Henry being involved at the firm. I swear there was some plot point she just literally ignored that surprised me, but as I'm floating around between years, I can't recall what it was. lol Has anyone found the first day of the Kyle/Lewis dinner party up in English? After he took over Lewis Oil, Kyle arranged a dinner party. All hell breaks loose--Mindy admits to shooting Kyle, Vanessa remembers Reva's accident, and Billy and Reva get into a screaming match and she tells HB that Billy blackmailed her out of her Lewis shares. The last three minutes (or so) of the episode are up, where Kyle tells the assembled that HB's his father. And the next episode picks up with Sally entering the fray. Y'all know I'm dying to hear Billy and Reva go at it. As dicey as '85 is, I love it anytime when Billy isn't Reva's bitch.  
    • The original premise of "Santa Barbara" was that a Lockridge (Warren) killed a Capwell (Channing), who loved an Andrade (Santana), while a Perkins (Joe) went to jail for the crime. I think once the show started to pull away the threads by eliminating Joe and naming a new killer a lot of the show's original potential was lost. I contend, like others, that the fault lied in the uninspiring casting, which leads me to wonder if that's why the show became so keen on casting soap veterans for nearly every pivotal role.  The failure of the Perkins family was definitely a casting issue followed by a lack of interest in committing to the original onscreen characterization. I was fascinated watching the early episodes and realizing that the Perkins had been financially wiped out by the trial, which was an underlying current towards John's animosity towards his son. Then, the additional complication of Marissa's nearly incestual affection for Joe that led to her cutting off John sexually was a wild moment to witness, but not as strong as it could have been with a stronger actor in the role of John Perkins. Melissa Brennan wasn't the right choice for the aspiring young vixen that Jade was intended to be. Brennan may have breathed life into Laken, but I'm not sure how Julia Ronnie would have done in the role of Jade.  Despite the recorded history, Christina Robertson and Sarah Gallagher weren't sisters; they were aunt and niece.  I don't think it would have hurt to make Marissa and Augusta sisters, but I think it would have made the Joe / Augusta seduction impossible unless you truly mimick "Rituals" and make Joe Sarah's stepson. I think a childhood friendship between the two women would have worked. It would have also given Augusta someone to confide in about the situation involving Peter Flint and herself as Marissa would have been aware of Peter from her work at the pre school. As childhood friends that were estranged by class differences, I think a relationship between Augusta and Joe (and later Augusta and a sexually frustrated John) would have had multiple layers to play out giving a deeper impact on Augusta's involvement in both of the men in Marissa's life. And because I have thought about this all too much, I would have Augusta and Marissa square off again when Jade, after marrying Ted while pregnant, learned that the little Capwell heir was in fact an imprisoned Warren's son only for Augusta to ultimately keep mum because with Ted married to Jade he wasn't free to pursue Laken.  I imagine the Andrades would have slowly been withdrawn from the Capwell inner circle as the truth about Santana, Channing, Jr., and the baby came to light for everyone. In what I seen in the 1980s, Rosa confronts C.C. once about the baby and then seems to move on. Early in the run, the actor playing Reuben claims he and Bridget Dobson had a falling out and implied that she was racist which led to the character fading into the woodwork.  I know I am like maybe one of two people who liked the 1990s run of the Dobsons, but I loved the set up for Santana / C.C. with the Andrades having owned the land that Oasis sat on years earlier posing Santana to come into money while also potentially landing a position where she could raise Gina's son with C.C. if C.C. and Santana could have secured custody of the child. With Eden gone, I would have gone back to Santana and Cruz, but if not, I think Brick should have returned to be Santana's conscience and potential love interest.     
    • Well, I'm not going to shoot you, so no worries there. If it's subpar i hate hearing that. It was an old DVD not even mine a former partner. I thought why not make use of it. Serves me right for thinking. But to be clear, white label, www.radiomemory.com 
    • Just compared the open on Friday's episode with the first week episodes. I think the difference is that the bass line is much more apparent -- stronger and harder.
    • Phew, that was close to disaster!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.
