Y&R: Episodes discussion., Week of June 29,2009

[lmfan]

Sheila switching Lauren's son, Scotty, with another boy, Dylan, who later died as an infant was pretty successful. Maybe MAB wants to make MJ a modern day Sheila.

Can we get a permanent ban on these tight loooooooow V-neck T-shirts on men? Like the one Daniel's wearing today?

This is Genoa City - not Gay Pride on Christopher Street.

(Like this is the worst of our problems. LOL!)

Loved kicking the show off on Victor/Nikki/Michael. And EH's hair looks awesome!

[rhythmchyc]

Why does Summer have to go into foster care? Where do these people get their information? This is ridiculous.

3 breakdown writers today???? That took up half the screen. Jeez.

And it was silly to assume Kevin took the box. Idiot Daniel could've done it.

[rhythmchyc]

That blue shirt was so disracting. And what's worse, Daniel's so lean, the tight shirt just doesn't look right at all. I was about to say the muscular cast members would be able to pull it off but they'd look just as ridiculous.

Wardrobe dept. Should be fired. We're in dire straits.

[brimike]

LOL!

I'm really enjoying seeing Victor/Nikki/Michael in these scenes today. Say what you want, but the fact that they were given these scenes in this episode proves to me somebody on this show still finds them relevant and important. They could have easily written Nick/Phyllis police station scenes or another set of scenes with Sharon lying to Jack. I'm glad somebody is in Victor/Nikki's corner.

[rhythmchyc]

Jill did not just say Hollyweird. ROTF. 3 breakdown writers!!!

[brimike]

LOL! There weren't three breakdown writers. Those are the associate head writers. There's only one breakdown writer.

[rhythmchyc]

MTS is outstanding in these scenes. And I'm not a fan but Victoria's absence is quite jarring. When Victor hugged Nikki, I felt like there was a body missing.

I don't remember Nina being this interesting the couple years before she left the show. I'm glad she's back in this sense.

Whoa, K with a Blackberry? Loves it!!!

[brimike]

Yeah, Victoria being absent is WEIRD. I agree.

I could watch Nina v. Cane all year. I love Mark's idea that this hatred somehow morphs into lust WAAAAAAY down the road, but I have a feeling TPTB wouldn't want to put their beefcake with Tricia Cast, which is a shame. But it is interesting for Nina to end up falling for "The Other Phillip"

ETA: These Nikki/Victor scenes are so freakin' good.

[Soapsuds]

You may say the stories suck..that the pacing is off...but hell today's show was awesome. The acting was superb!!

[brimike]

I've really enjoyed the last four days, I have to say. All in all, this week has been pretty damn watchable.

ETA: Well, except Wednesday. But Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday were all pretty solid, in my humble opinion.

[Southofnowhere]

I vote for Nina/Neil! The only downside would be not being able to give them a couple name!

[rhythmchyc]

It's so freaky how we've seen MAB and 'em turn Cane into a must see tv character. I applaud them actually.

Polygraph test?? Uh, no?

[brimike]

I've never liked Cane this much. A year ago, I was with Alvin and DeeeDee. I wanted him DEAD DEAD DEAD. It's amazing how much my mind has changed these last few weeks. I just hope they can sustain it. If he goes back to smug/annoying/selfish, what a waste it will all have been.

ETA: WOW to Victor admitting Summer should stay with Nikki and Paul. Great set of scenes.

[leevo64]

Hot damn that was a good episode, with the exception of maybe Lily. Looking at her get upset I thought "GET OVER IT girl, you don't matter right now!" But the rest was great. And when did Cane get hot?
