Y&R: Potpourri Thread 2

Well, Kevin tried to kill her and look where he is now. I'm not sure why people are suprised they would kill Colleen off just because we saw her as a teen. They killed Cassie and viewers saw her grow up. Her death did provide story, but her parents have turned it into a farce. The writers see Cassie as this excuse for her parents to shack up.

Yep, totally useless, and given the worst of the worst stories on this show.

I know these idiots in charge are going to whitewash Patty Jane's crimes as much as they did Kevin's...

There's no one really left to feel the aftermath of "Colleen's" death. Traci will only be there for a short time, and after that, the entire Abbott clan will move on to other things. They're sorely lacking in the family dynamics department on this show. The bonds between family members are so lose and hollow.

You're right. I suppose I am more invested in Jill, Nikki, Paul, so I see their decline more. I didn't mean to leave Michael out. I know that he may even have it worse because even though he's not onscreen that often, Kevin is constantly, so people say, "I'm so sick of those Baldwin-Fishers!" like Michael is the star of the show.

You and I might not like Kevin, but he is popular and is considered a viable character on the show.

Judging by what has been going on in the show right now, JT may have more concern for Colleen's death than her own family and he'll become a klepto and a man whore. I'm sure they are going to have Billy mourn her the longest.

Oh, I don't disagree that the idiots in charge consider Kevin to be a viable character, or else he wouldn't always be on the frontburner in some inane, cliche, and nonsensical storyline. They seem to really like the character, but they have no idea how to write for him. Then again, who do they know how to write for?

:lol:

Watch Colleen's death be a plot point in breaking up JT and Bortoria.

And doesn't everything have to be about Billy on this show with these hack writers?

When people say they are tired of the Fisher-Baldwins I don't think they mean to include Micheal, Lauren, or even Kevin in that. It's mainly Gloria and it doesn't help that she and her husband are going to worm their way into multiple storylines this fall.

That's sad considering they could just had JT get his personality back and that would have caused problems for Victoria. Honestly, Jolleen as a couple haven't worked in years. Even if LF came back whos to say she and Thad would have the same chemistry. So I'm hoping there is some good fallout from her exit.

Why on earth would they be waiting to find out that Sursok will be filming again when they are supposedly weeks ahead in filming these scenes? Plus, they've not given her anything much to do except prop everyone else up.

Does it seem like they will be using the vets even less and the younger crowd even more: the Scooby gang, Lily, Cane, Billy, Chloe, and so on? I wouldn't be surprised at all by this, look what GH has done which I'm actually starting to like more now than Y&R... never thought I'd say that! You are probably right about using Colleen's death to break up JT & Vikki. They should pair JT with Heather.

Why do they need to pair JT with anyone so soon? We criticize Lily for jumping from one relationship to another. When was the last time JT had a storyline that wasn't a romance? Has he had a storyline that wasn't a romance? Please don't say the singing career, I always thought that was part of the Jolleen story.

Heather is also now recurring, so a Heather and JT pairing would be as useless as the current JT and Victoria pairing...

You know they won't devote any real screen time to that pairing, especially one that is just beginning or has anything resembling an ounce of romantic depth. Y&R must be cheap sex and adultery all the time, according to this writing regime.

ITA. They don't know the meaning of the word romance. But just thinking about ANY pairing being written good is painful for me because I know other writers can handle it, but not this bunch of hacks.

Monday: Heather and JT argue and have sex on her office couch!

Tuesday: Victoria walks in on JT buttoning his shirt. She's shocked!

Wednesday-next Thursday: Other stuff that has nothing to do with the story.

Next Friday: Victoria and JT are divorced.

Monday: The role of Heather is now being played by Eva Marcille...

    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf. 
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.
