Y&R: Episodes discussion, week of September 14


Recommended Posts

I'm still catching up on this week.

Why is Jill completely divorced from her beloved sons these days?Surely she could be seen visiting Lily or comforting her 'son' Cane or talking to Billy about his involvement with Mac/Chloe?

Maybe the nail salon thing could have worked if Jill had chosen to take the job as a way of starting afresh.

Paul stating that Patty wandered from town to town,living in homeless shelters?Since when?

Adam's motivations are confusing.Why would he hide the letter from Nikki?How could he even see the tiny writing.Why did Nikki's letter have a printed postmark?

Even Chloe knew Patty shot Jack!WTF?

Why didn't Colleen just take the gun from weakened MJ?

Almost every scene has me scratching my head.

And the future is looking bleak...

Please, what show have you been watching? That's the Kay/Jill dynamic, not the Victor/Jack one. Is that why Jack walked over Victor's body when he had that stroke or whatever the hell it was? Is that why Victor tried to beat Jack's brains out with a fireplace poker? You've been bitching for months now that we hadn't known Victor's plans for revenge on Jack where Patty was concerned. Well, now we KNOW... and your'e still not happy.

That's not the same as planing premeditated murder, which is what Victor was setting up and planning for months by hiring Patty to come into Jack's life and killing him. Try again, spin doctor.

And you're right, I'm still not happy, because now Victor looks like he was setting up a murder of someone and indirectly because of him, Colleen ended up dying, Summer ended up with brain damage, and Zapato ended up dead. Can you say character assassination?

Victor and Jack have NEVER planned one another's deaths, try spinning this sh.it someplace else, dear. What show have YOU been watching? Name the amount of times Victor and Jack planned for months to have each other killed? But of course, bad writing like this is acceptable, because you can always spin the reasoning!

Victor bringing Patty to town was not brilliant but it makes sense to me. If he had contracted someone to kill Jack, he could possibly be found out and sent to jail - Victor don't like no jail. so rather than hire an assassin, he hired the next best thing to one - the person who came closest to killing Jack. Victor, knowing that Patty was still fixated on Jack and revenge, knowing that Jack would ultimately screw her over again thought that perhaps she'd eventually go crazy and try to kill him. It would be the perfect crime because while morally wrong, there was no contract for her to kill him or harm him.

But he didn't know that Patty wasn't sweet and naive anymore. The bitch was nuts! They haven't referenced her pills lately so I wonder if that'll be part of it.

But seriously folks - where's Heather? Are they just done with Heather? Does anyone know? I thought she had great chemistry with Chance. A Chloe/Chance/Heather triangle would be awesome cause it would be more believable that Chloe would be really threatened by Heather - who is effin gorgeous - than baggy Mac.

I'm a huge fan of the Jack/Victor feud and I hate this beat. I did like Victor bringing Patty back, but I thought it was just to screw with Jack. I don't like it that Victor brought Patty to KILL Jack. I wish they based this story on a business story like Victor brings Patty back to distract Jack while Victor goes after a company Jack's going after, or something like that....you know like old school Y&R. :(

I'm all for the Jack/Victor feud to be rested,rather than coming up with plot manipulations to keep it alive.It is tiresome.

Especially when Jack always comes out the loser.

Maybe the characters could move in other directions for a while and the writers weave it so that it leads back to another conflict.

When did Paul discover that Patty was homeless and taking low paying jobs?Just in the course of his current investigation?How was Victor able to find her if Paul couldn't?

And if that's the case,how was she transformed into a high powered business woman?

And Victor never stated what his plan was.After a few weeks,for no apparent reason,he was telling MJ the deal was off.The whole thing is garbage.

Wouldn't he know Patty was crazy since she had already gone nuts and almost killed Jack, and had lived a horrible life since that time (unless Victor thought it was perfectly sane for a woman to agree to change her name and appearance just to go near her ex-husband again)? And wouldn't having a woman he knew was crazy make it more likely he'd think he would go to jail, whereas working with a contract killer with a good record and who didn't go around killing random pets and Australians and almost killing mute children might have left less of a trail which would lead to Victor?

Not that it even matters, because the show always make sure we know it's not really Victor's fault. He's just that awesome.

    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
