Y&R: Potpourri Thread 2

Yeah, I didn't know if he was an "iatrist", or an "ologist" either... that's why I said "shrink", it's the catch-all term. We all bring our own stuff to the table when watching this show, that's why I totally get that Mark is fascinated by the mental process of Adam and Patty. I'm a horticulturist/Landscape contractor, so that's why I had a coronary over Doris asking Sharon last week if she got the flowers from the yard. It all depends on your point of view, what is interesting to you.

And that was Beth's first acting job, or one of her first, wasn't it? At least on TV or film.

IMDB sucks. They say she started on Y&R in 1986.

To me Mac should go because they really don't need her there unles she's there to rekindle her love JT. Or get a new man because her & Billy isn't working. But she's really not needed.

Heather just need to be written for. Just like Paul it seems they don't want to write for the Williams.

[DeeeDee]

Mackenzie's definitely needed.

So are Heather & Lily.

The characters not the current actresses.

Chloe isn't needed nor are Amber or Jana.

The less said about Abby, Eden & Daisy the better.

1. Mac came back at the wrong time. To me she isn't needed. She doesn't have scene with her grandma anymore. The other three Mac always had scene with grandma.

2. Heather just need to be written for. & Lily don't get me started on Lily. The way Lily is under CK. Makes her useless. The thing CK try to aviod they did it to her anyway. She only allow to interact with her lying husband & the woman who going to take him away from her. She would have been better off having scenes with her black family too.

3. My thing about Amber is if she was up against a stonger groug of girls. Amber would be alright. That's why they need a stronger Lily right now & Colleen at the time. The problem with Chloe they took her every which a way. But they need Chloe & Amber to even out the blandness of CKLily & Mac

[DeeeDee]

That's the point.

Mackenzie IS needed.

The timing was never the problem nor is it the characters fault the writing is agenda driven.

It isn't there for ANY of the younger female characters especially useless newbies like Amber, Jana & Chloe.

The same problem with Mackenzie is the same problem with Heather.

Agenda driven writing & a recast wouldn't hurt.

We agree about Lily & CK though.

Amber & Chloe were never needed.

Liz Hendrickson is fun but that doesn't make Chloe any less useless & Amber should have never left B&B.

[classicmoment]

I'll hold onto to Liz Hendrickson as long as I have to deal with Khalil and to a lesser extent Ford and also I must say manytimes Frantz.

I really want to read that recast thread in DTS: SI. Are people talking about character or storyline spoilers in there or is just reaction to the recast?

[DeeeDee]

There's spoiler discussion but you'll really like the recast.

[Toups]

Oh I know who the recast is and I do love it. Oh well, I'll continue to stay out of that thread. Thanks for the info DD.

Vail Bloom is perfection! I would never accept a Heather recast. She's so beautiful and looks like Paul and April's daughter. I think Bill Bell would've taken an actress like her and ran with it. She does have charisma and has done great work at times. She also has had chemistry with just about any man she's shared scenes with. I'd much rather they test her romantically with everyone rather than this garbage as the ADA. It's a losing role in soaps and she's too young to be trashed like that.

[alphanguy74]

I never had any problem with Vail Bloom. She's no Tricia Cast, but she's plenty good, IMO. What I think was stupid was when LML brought in that other bitch to play April for two episodes. For two episodes? If you couldn't find Cynthia Jordan, then they just shouldn't have done it. But Vail has great chemistry with all her co-stars. I just wish they'd play more with her and Rafe, the uncomfortable rivalry with those two could really be great if they'd do something with it. I'd love to see him getting in little "digs" with her, making sly refrences to how he slept with her man... never letting her forget it.

[y&r_fan]

And all three should be recast.

Jana is.

And I'd love for Chloe to go to B&B.

Needs to be recast, Love her & Unnecessary.

Josh Griffith did that actually. But she was a bore and I'm glad they didn't keep her.

[DeeeDee]

The Scoobies all need to be go.

As do Cane, Daisy, Ryder & Eden.

TPTB need to focus on Mackenzie, Billy, JT, Devon, Roxanne, Rafe, Raul, Heather, Chance, Chloe & a recast Lily.

[Chris B]

DeeeDee, seeing Raul and Heather's names next to each other makes me think how sexy they'd be together. He deserves better than GrandMac. I also think I'd die if Christine and Heather had a scene together. My little gay heart would definitely stop. That would be epic.
