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

LMAO!!! What needed to happen, was like Rhythmchyc said... she needed to cover her face with her hands and flee the scene. Neil would look at him with the eyes of DEATH, and call him that sonfabitch, and be ready to rip him limb from limb... and then go after her. Then MONDAY we can see Lily and Neil in the Chancellor living room, her scremaing, crying, HYSTERICAL, asking Neil, begging him to explain why this happened to her, she needs to revert to a little girl with dialogue like.. "Daddy.. WHY? Why does this always happen to me? What is wrong with me?!!!" something to that effect. But could Kahlil pull a scene like that off? Hell no. I sometimes wonder who she's sleeping with to keep her job.

Thom Bierdz was CHARITY RAHMNER BAD during his one scene. God, while Walton and Cast were trying to turn a ridiculous storyline into gold with their superior acting talents, it was as if Bierdz was doing some MadTV parody on soap acting.

[MarkH]

If you say so . I didn't glean much technique, one way or another, out of that one line . The previews on Monday, though, do suggest we're about to enter the eye rolling phase plot wise. Oh well, I'll be watching.

[MTSRocks]

Precisely.

So now it's MAB and Bierdz on your hit list, LoL.

[BadZoe]

I think another reason it worked was because before ever making any character pregnant, they had the baby switch planned out. It seems to me that they have now altered the timing of Sharon's pregnancy to coincide with Ashley's suggesting to me that nothing is planned out months in advance. I truly wish that soaps would plan out pregnancy and the first year of a child's life before adding them into the bible.

MTS gets to pick her own wardrobe and she has the biggest wardrobe of anyone at Y&R.

Obviously, you all haven't seen the way she dresses off this show.

But the wardrobe for the other women is horrible. What the f.uck was Jess Walton wearing today? Did she skin a zebra and make its fur into silk or something?

Just calling it as I see it...

Bierdz was never that great of an actor anyway, and now that he says in interviews that he isn't there to act, it's painfully obvious and I blame MAB equally for letting this sh!t happen.

[Soapsuds]

That and what apparently the characters are wearing or should I say the actors...LOL

[MTSRocks]

Yes, other than a few odd choices here and there, MTS looks tons better off Y&R.

[rhythmchyc]

Nina's wardrobe has been the most dowdy I've ever seen in the history of Y&R. Jeez, K's waitress friend dresses better. Loved that pink rose top LOL.

Uh, Victoria had to take a trip out of town to take over the expansion that Nick was supposed to be in charge of since Victor put him in charge of it?

[MTSRocks]

Meh, neither was Lauralee Bell and people want her back on the show. I only give Bierdz a slight pass because he's a legacy character, and because he hasn't been acting in awhile.

[MarkH]

The expansion? I thought that was Colleen's BIG STORYLINE? (That never gets old).

[brimike]

I thought he was fine. It's really

that will make or break him.

LMAO!!!!!!

Plus this is a six month deal.

In my mind, this is about reversing a LML retcon, giving Bierdz some cash to continue with his artist ways (and then he can recur back in the future, kind of like Beau Kayzer). Bierdz, I think, is a temporary plot point...the main goal is to give Cane something to struggle with...to win back Lily's love...to win back the town's affections...to begin a romance with Mac (setting up, anew, the Billy-Mac-Cane-Chloe quad).

I see Lily spinning out of this tale. With Tricia Cast recurring, I think Bierdz is also there to introduce a soon-to-return-character into some angst.

Over the next five months, he'll re-establish all his relationships, repair them, and then go back to Australia to live authentically. Before he's done, Cricket will come back for a few reunion scenes.

By November sweeps, Rafe will probably go to Australia to live with him. And what will be left behind is P3's offspring, and Cane's rehabilitation.

I don't see either Nina or P3 sticking around much past November.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

OMG! Pure comedy!

Look at the last 20 seconds of this clip. While EVERYONE, Khalil and Goddard included surprisingly, were good, in comes Bierdz, who looks like he's high, and the way he recites this one line is absolutely hilarious, for all the wrong reasons!
