Members DRW50 Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 I must say I find Vail Bloom's storylines a lot more interesting than most on Y&R currently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm confused. She definitely was pregnant at one point right? We saw pictures of her with a baby bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 With Kevin G. Schmidt's new one-hour action pilot picked up by Cartoon Network, is this the end of Noah? http://www.thewrap.com/ind-column/cartoon-network-drawn-dramas-9757 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 I can't say I would care, as they've done nothing with the character and refuse to make it a contract role, but somehow, characters that aren't even needed are...

Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Oh, I'd care so much! Noah is the only younger-set member who is INSTANTLY engaging. If they threw him the ball, he'd totally be able to run with it. We have no idea why Schmidt didn't have a contract. Since he was doing a pilot with Valerie Bertinelli shortly after joining Y&R, and then he did this pilot, I have assumed it was (at least partially) an actor's choice. His eyes have clearly firmly been on film and primetime/cable... It seems to me that Noah's story must be about to heat up (with Daisy in town). Thus, I fear we will have a recast Noah. Since Y&R has a horrendous track record with youth-casting, that makes me worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Really? I've always thought that they do care about Lane, but who knows anymore. If they are really going for a triangle here, I just wonder how they think Cane is going to look like anything but a complete POS. I know that IRL cancer often causes the break up of a marriage, but in this case Cane just managed to get Lily back after conning her and marrying her. I don't even know which is worse Lane apart or together, but I do know that a triangle with a pregnant Mac will be unfortunate. It's almost like two steps forward one step backward here. We are getting some business stories, which is a very good turn of events. Jill, Ashley and Emily seem to be strong females again (for now), but then it looks like TPTB are setting up a triangle that is really a slap in the face, imo.

Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nah, I think this story will be about Mackenzie and Lily. It will have two pieces: - the bonding of the women...both need a friend - Mackenzie realizing she wants a baby, and she wants a good father for that baby in her life I think we'll see drama as Mackenzie carries the baby. The constant threat of recurrence MIGHT even cause Lily to try to forge a bond between Cane and Mac...for "after she's gone" (like Caroline did with Brooke on B&. But, more developmentally (assume they want to use Mac as more than a 'device'), this will set a quest for Mac to find her "post-Billy" man. Hi Chance! Hi JT!

Members DeeeDee Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 TPTB only care about Lane as a way of "redeeming" Cane. Mackenzie will get pregnant, the baby will be HERS & Lily will divorce Cane just in time for Billy to fight him for Mackenzie after losing Chloe to Chance.

Members DRW50 Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 I just wish this Ashley business story weren't a way to make us see she's crazy. It's like, "Well, she's going to go back to work, like people wanted, but she's crazy, ha ha!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 Are you sure that's how it's gonna go? AND...if craziness makes her more interesting...is that such a bad thing? It worked for Phyllis and Leanna Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 I never saw Phyllis as crazy. I always felt she knew exactly what she was doing. I'm ok with Ashley turning bitchy for awhile, but I'd like her mental issues to be resolved precisely because I like her this way, I don't want this version of her to be invalidated and explained away by mental illness later on. I want a perfectly sane, bitchy Ashley making life difficult for the Newman's and Jack/Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 It is kind of great to see the Abbotts coming apart at the seams...each of them at war with the other two. That's often the most interesting soap--when families fracture, and the love makes all the warring painful. Here's hoping that's how it goes....

Members JimTolkien Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 I am with you on this one. I think the Abbotts are going to be warring in more ways than one (**teehee**). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 If it means she's stuck in a holding pattern where every story she has can be written off due to mental illness, then yes. It tells viewers never to bother being invested in her, because every story is about her being around the bend. I also wonder how much of this is because Victor needs to return and "save" her. Ashley wasn't supposed to be like Phyllis or Leanna Love. Unfortunately that slightly to totally crazy, desperate mode is the default for a lot of the women on the show now.
