Y&R: If you're going to raise the dead...


Recommended Posts

... then you should have brought John Abbott back instead. He faked his death to get away from Gloria!! (because he's gay). Also, as I said in the other thread, CKLily and Tammin Sursok could be nixed by simply having Davetta and Adrianne come back as the REAL Lily and Colleen because they sent imposters to their families so they could live the lesbian life. It actually really nicely mirrors the Australian thing Cane has going on. Symmetry. Nice. Also Dru faked her death because she's gay, and sent Neil Karen.

OK come on if it's going to be stupid we may as well use it to get characters we want to see! Let's suspend disbelief and call up that necromancer!

Who else do you want to come back from the dead, while we're at it (the catch is they have to have faked their death because they were gay. Then it's alll good!)

Phillip Chancellor II faked his death because he was gay. He never could get it up for Katherine, and Jill was just one last fling to try to convince himself he was straight. When he knew that wasn't going to work out, he faked his death after the car crash with Katherine. He tried many jobs, including being a con artist who lived with the Tates (Jodie Tate's conversion to heterosexuality only convinced Phillip of how right he was to hate himself), and being a doctor on the spaceship Galactica. Finally he ended up working at the Star Wars Cantina, and has briefly returned to this timestream to inform his family of his whereabouts, and that he had sent Rex along to make Katherine happy.

Of course, he didn't realize that Rex was also gay and also faked his death...

I love it! Also Marge faked her death because she's gay and wants to get with Katherine... who is torn between her own image (she does love herself) and Murphy, and a returned Phillip II and Rex because she thinks she can turn them from being gay.

What about the Murphy/Phillip/Phillip/Rafe quadrangle? Can you imagine the drama of father and son fighting over a man 25-50 years their junior?

When will we find out that Kitty faked her death because she was ashamed of her latent lesbian feelings for Mary Jane?

LMFAO with an 80 year old woman no less. JC would be up for another Emmy, and "Dear god in heaven," she could pull it off!!

Y&R should go for broke and outdo Passions... though I dont know how you can top a transgendered man having his own father's child.

Wow. Did you feel that...

...cause you just BLEW.MY.MIND

BAHAHAHAHAHA

That's why Phillip 3 came back... to find Doc Brown and his FluxCapicitor and go back in time to have his father impregnate him (with himself) instead of Jill, so that in the future Jill and Kay can be friends again (his way of making it up to them after faking his death) assuming that without the P2 stuff J&K would be friends forever. But then he goes too far in time, accidentally undoing the whole fabric of time and space... and so Nina never meets him and never wastes her time on such a LOSER and goes on to be very happy forever because she is the greatest!

This can be Daniel's next story. They are paving the way with his taste in shirts.

Oddly enough I can also see Cane with this story. He tends to make those faces a woman might make while giving birth.

Or Adam will summon the power of the black arts and transport his life essence into Ashley's womb, meaning that she will give birth after all -- to a baby who will, in a few weeks, grow up to be Adam. Things get confusing when AshleyBabyAdam meets RealAdam, and Rafe becomes very confused over which one he should shoot. Instead, he actually shoots and kills Abby. The entire town is plunged into mourning for about three minutes, before they realize they don't give a crap. Her wardrobe and estate are given to the producers of Gossip Girl.

    • @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.
