Members DRW50 Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Didn't they also say how this summer was supposed to be fun or have romance or something? They've gone back and forth so many times with Shick and Phick, and have absolutely demolished Sharon's character. She has become the most plot-driven character on the show, she's almost laughable. The latest being her very convenient blurting out of the truth right as Nick could overhear her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 MAB said the summer was going to be fun and filled with characters who haven't had storylines for a while, which was a complete lie. But it's not the first time she's lied in an interview... The convoluted, morbid, plot heavy, and mundane storytelling is continuing well into the fall...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Not only that, here's how they plan on drumming up sympathy for Victor and totally drop his comeuppance when he's exposed as the person who brought Patty Jane to town, and it's at Colleen's expense, the girl he tortured throughout the final few months of her life... That's some really crass storytelling, and they totally wasted the Colleen character for nothing. Also, Victor treated this girl like s.hit for her the last couple of months of her life and she ends up saving the day for him? You know Victor's health problems will get all of those loved ones to come back in Victor's corner and forget all of the damage he's caused, and then poor Jack will probably be blamed for everything and Victor will end up getting no blame in overall end. This show is written and run by idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 It sounds like the pacing is as crappy as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 That sounds just TERRIBLE. Y&R is now an ABC soap. That's something right out of Chuck Pratt or Megan McTavish's playbook. I have to confess, in spite of my boycott, I watched a little bit of the Paul/Patty Jane stuff this week. (Hell, I put all that time in this story; I might as well watch the reveal). I'm not compelled to watch anymore of it. It's subpar, despite the efforts of the actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 MAB and her henchmen are turning into a poor man's McTavish, and you know it's BAD when you're a watered down equivalent of THAT. Total word. The actors are doing their best, but the writing is just so soul-less, crappily executed, campy for all the wrong reasons, hallow, and void of any real substance. It doesn't help that it gets played for camp and laughs in Monday's US episode with Gloria and Jeffrey, two useless and directionless characters.

Members dm. Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Oh crap. This is pure bull. And then when he gets her heart, he will suddenly become remorseful for his behavior, apologize to people and everything. And as soon as they believe they're redeemed Victor's recent actions, he'll start acting like a pig again after Braeden gets tired of playing a sweet Victor. I really don't know what more to say. When you look at some other writers who have gone wrong, at least you get the feeling that they tried and that they knew what they were doing even though things didn't go well. However, looking at these writers, we know that they don't know nothing about good writing so even at coming up with ideas they already failed miserably.

Members Juliajms Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's sick as far as I'm concerned. I cannot believe what's become of this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 This is not new. Victor has never paid for his actions. Not under Bill Bell or any subsequent headwriter. Jack is the one who pays or loses. It is the Y&R way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's not about paying, it's how Victor gets off the hook and at the expense of a character that he did nothing but torture until she ultimately died, and because of that, she ends up saving his pathetic life.

Members bellcurve Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 This sounds like the storyline of the year. Y&R deserves the WGA Award and the Emmy for this original plot twist. And let's not forget the unpredictable "they never saw it coming because we're that clever" baby switch coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Word. seriously, who still wants that convoluted as hell baby switch? You know that was something Maria and her hacks probably read about on one of the boards and went with it. A baby switch is the LAST THING this show needs, and it will be happening. How f.ucking pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Don't be mistaken, they will go through every single soap opera moment during the next few months. We'll have more explosions, hostage situations, psychos, affairs, baby switches in only a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 Remember when we were constantly told to hold out hope for the fall? Well, it looks like we were right to not be optimistic and just expect more of the same lame and hack writing. There's no use defending anyone on this writing team, especially Bell, Sheffer, and Hamner. They ALL need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
