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

I was quite curious about how condescending and flippant he seemed on Friday's five second shot. I read that as him being over his family's petty squabbles and utterly self-righteous but I don't think that's a bad thing. I suppose it ruins the character to see him be a total a--, but we don't know how he'll act when his son arrives. Seeing him as an adult may bring on the remorse. Understanding the full ramifications of his actions may alter his behavior as well. Whatever happens, we'll have to see.

I just don't think his delivery on Friday should easily be thrown away as bad acting. And I'm not a fan of the guy LOL.

Also he has acted over the last twenty years. Nothing big but he was on "Law & Order."

:lol:

I sent you a PM, judge for yourself his performance in Monday's episode.

I don't mind if Phillip III's an assh*ole or whatever (though they already ruined that character with this re-write), it's Thom's acting technique that sucks, especially when the three other actors invovled are so good. He plays everything the same way, his face is is the same express throughout the entire episode, and he delivers everything in a Ronn Moss-style delivery. It's coming off as if he thinks he's doing some soap opera spoof for a sketch comedy show. but, judge for yourself, that's just me, and I can't speak for other people.

I agree, we'll just have to see. I know from watching him EVERY DAY back in the day... not just on youtube clips and guest appearances here and there... that he IS good. I still stand by my asessment that love of a character can make one overlook things, and hatred of a character's actions can make fans pick the actor apart. Haiduk is another perfect example. In the wedding dress scene, it was obvious that they were trying to re-create Stern under that veil, and considering it was Stern playing Patty when she married Jack, that made sense. But everyone loved Haiduk and her performances so much that nobody seems to care about the GLARING inconsistency that although Victor gave her plastic surgery to look different, Haiduk has a voice that's about half an octave lower, and is about 6 inches taller than Lilibet Stern.

Mac hasn't been written as a character who just wants to get laid, at least not most versions of the character. This story is supposed to be about love lost and found, soulmates, fate tried to tear them apart then brought them back together, love makes Billy a wonderful person, all the rest. For that to work then I think their first time has to be more than just rutting.

Billy Miller is a good actor, although I think he has a way to go in the emotional moments, and I don't think he has a deep enough connection with most of his co-stars (this was one reason the rivalry with Cane fell flat). It seemed like everyone loved him so much at AMC or heard such good things about him there that there was an automatic assumption he was going to be a huge success on Y&R. Instead Billy is sinking into the same mire he seems to sink into no matter who plays him.

    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!! 
    • We probably would if the writers bothered to write for them... but they've proven unable to write anything for them.  Even though Ashley has potential as a character.   @janea4oldMy theory is that Joey might end up being Ashley's father... but time will tell.
    • But, you have to admit, Dani seems to be, relishing in the fact that she is not the only one in pain, or had a trash husband. That's how it is coming across to me, she is enjoying this too much!
    • I assume not as we would have probably heard, but she could have been a good fit. I could see her being a good Leslie Brooks recast, although by that point the show had fully moved on from Leslie.  I'm not sure who she could have been on B&B, although I could see her playing yet another Beth Logan recast.
    • Are we supposed to care about Ashley and Derek
