Y&R Episode Discussion for the week of July 13

[DeeeDee]

Using Billy & Mackenzie to prop the mouth breathing ostrich Maria?

That's low.

[Cat]

LOL Methinks the lady doth protest too much!

Admit it, DeeeDee. You want Goddard. End the charade and embrace your Cane love!

[brimike]

LOL!!!!

Embrace the ostrich, DeeeDee. Want the ostrich. LOVE the ostrich.

I love scenes with people talking to themselves.

Yeah, these Philip scens have totally been botched. I can't believe they didn't follow up on the cliffhanger - it's soap writing 101! We missed out on Nina's reaction. Slow the fuck then and show everything!

I wish Cricket was back too....at least for this storyline.

JC/Katherine was the best part of those scenes.

That was hilarious! LOL I'm loving their scenes. I always like it when bad guys join forces - kinda like Batman villains.

[brimike]

AND her promise not to tell Kay and Jill!! Huh?

[Cat]

Did I miss Philip telling Nina he was gay? Or was that today? Or was that last week during the Michael Jackson memorial scheduling? Because everybody talks about Nina's reaction and her head-roll, and I totally missed that.

I also missed Phyllis smacking Heather. Darn.

[brimike]

He told Nina last week (I think it was Wednesday?). He told Jill and Katherine today.

[BadZoe]

They were, which is why I've now removed mine!! Trying to be good.

Of course if Adam gets Patty pregnant to prove his virility and manipulate her, Victor might feel obligated to help her rather than destoy her. Then she can be healed by the love of her baby or NOT, but that may be the way to keep MJ on longer. I still see no future for both. Adam is either going to pin everything on MJ or MJ will become another victim of Adam. But someone will have to pay for their actions.

I just wish once Nikki would rub Victor's face in bringing MJ and Adam into their lives, but I know she won't because Nikki is forgiving. I do expect Victor to feel guilt for bringing these crazies into their lives, especially MJ/Patty but how much guilt who knows.

I loved Kay today. She spoke for me about Philip. He is a coward and bringing Cane into their lives meant just more pain and makes no sense. I hope Philip IV will be just as resentful. I don't get how they are writing Philip or Thom Bierdz's acting choices. He is showing very little regret and is putting so much of what he did at the feet of Jill, Katherine and Nina. That's not the way to get the audience on his side. But maybe that isn't the point of this story. Maybe this is really about bringing Philip IV on the show in a way that will make him a full blood Chancellor and give him a insta relationship with Kay and Jill where they will want to make up with him partially because of their failures with his father.

Ashley was interesting today. She seems to know there is no baby, but is afraid to admit it. I can't see her bonding with any baby if there is a switch because deep inside she knows it is all a lie. I never liked Ashley, but I sure feel bad for her. I would love her to stop being the victim and be the one to turn this around and end of trapping Adam.

Here's my theory based on the clues we've been getting: MJ likes to watch people having sex and then goes crazy. Today's show confirmed Kitty is male--HE sleeps a lot--and will be staying in the potting shed. Y&R is all about the gay storylines now.

So how long until MJ catches Zapato having his way with Kitty?

I can't wait for the MAB interview where she explains how interspecies necrophilia is a storyline that daytime's just been waiting to tell...

[BadZoe]

That's how I have seen Eileen playing it, like deep down Ashley knows, she's just waiting for Adam or Dr Taylor to cave and spill the beans.

[MarkH]

I'm guessing with Nina, we're seeing the consequence of a recurring actress whose home is in Tennessee.

[Aback]

I'm with Toups, I love the device. It was a classic Bill Bell staple. Sheila always did that. Even characters on B&B talked to themselves when they were plotting and stuff. As a matter of fact I think they invented Kitty with the purpose of finding a way around this campy device.

Thank you for saying this! I completely forgot in my first post. That smirk was absolutely embarrassing to watch. I wonder why they don't just stop this guy!

[Cashton]

Today's show was absolutely hilarious - for all the right reasons! Adam getting Kitty some chow? Victor getting kicked out of the bedroom? Jill's reaction to Phillip - "GAY!?"....what a hoot and a holler.
