Y&R Episode Discussion for the week of July 13

I would like to say -- I CALLED IT!!! A couple of weeks ago, I referred to Kitty as a male [Hello, I'm a girl. I can spot the male of the species a mile away!] and yet you all "corrected" me and said Kitty was a lady. Well, once again, I called it! Kitty is Mr. Kitty, thank you very much.

After seeing Adam with Mary Jane, TPTB have got to stop this Adam sexing up Rafe storyline. We need gays on the show but find someone who could be convincing. Daniel, maybe? MM has no sexual chemistry with men. He does, however, have nice chemistry with ED and very good chemistry with SH. Adam & MJ need to get married and officially adopt Kitty.

Why is Jill surprised that P3 is gay? What's surprising is that Billy is straight! If anyone should have two gays sons, it should be Jill. Is there a Gay/Straight Trading Fair in Genoa City? Can the Straights trade in Billy for Adam? Also, can the Gays trade in Rafe for Daniel?

It's a demon-baby...all demon-baby's have stuff that shouldn't be there! LOL! Besides all Newman spawn should have balls - Victoria USED to have balls a long, long time ago....Heather Tom. The only nice thing I have to say about AH as Victoria is she's not as bad as Sarah Aldridge or whatever her name was.

They should have Phillip say he overheard Brock and Katherine talking about her brief relationship with Joann Curtis, and how it had been wrong, and inappropriate. That way, Phillip will have motive for thinking they wouldn't accept his homosexuality, and this would be rooted in Katherine's history, without making Katherine retconned into a bigot.

I wonder if that is what the PTB think its audience is?

Having said that, I have to say that Monday's US episode, with the gaslighting of Ashley, was painful to watch -- and also masterful. Yes, I went there! The way Dr. Taylor turned the screws, having Ashley (who half-guesses that the baby is gone) collapsing in tears when, after an interminable wait, she sees "the heartbeat." Dr. Taylor's panic -- and the way he told Adam to shove it -- was awful and clever in equal measure. I feel so badly for Ashley. On a superficial note, her hair is looking a thousand times better.

Thom Bierdz isn't fabulous, but neither is he bad. The Down's syndrome comments... I don't know. He does say "dis" instead of "this" and his words are a bit slurry but surely this is part-Wisconsin accent, part-hard living. LOL, maybe he has a tongue stud? A friend of mine had one and she got all lispy as a result. In any case, I think he warmed up as the episode went on and, while I don't buy the premise for Philip Chancellor sending Cane to his family, I can appreciate the feelings he expressed about being the Chancellor heir and gay.

TPTB do seem bent on making him as asexual a gay man as possible -- no lovers during all these years while he "ached with loneliness"? That is some hard-core resilience. What about friends? A support group? Was Cane a substitute son for him? That would make for an interesting Cane-Chance dynamic.

Speaking of, I really liked the Cane-Mac scenes.

I thought he meant he never hooked up with a man before he left. If they meant he has never slept with a man in the last 20 years...well, that is just ridiculous. What was the point in leaving? If he was going to be celibate he might as well have stayed in town and raised his son.

Can they write Jeffrey and Gloria OUT please? Geesh, it's so obvious that they no longer know what to do with these two and they just shove them in wherever they can. I would think it would be an easy decision when they need to pare down their canvas and when they know they ignore half of the cast.

To some pea brain in the writing staff, they continue to provide comic relief, right?

I think the best way to make use of these "humorous" characters, is to torture them like they've tortured us for the past few years.

And I don't mean empty threats from Victor Newman or showing them aghast before they have to take a cargo boat back to the states.

Someone should sic Adam on them...

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
