It is a lot of that floating around right now. I wouldn't mind it if it was that otherwise. I don't mind soap ideas, but I like a well thought through overall production maybe I'm just asking for too much. Anyway if it turns out to be good then fine but am too skeptic to even allow myself tobelieve

Why not just go all the way and have her and Phyllis sleep with Daniel? MG and MS are too hot to be mother and son.

And then this girl and Daniel can become the Mel and Susan Profitt of Genoa City. First step -- killing all the Scoobies and Scoobie hanger ons and running drugs and weapons!

If your point is none of this should ever, ever happen, I agree. Tammy and Jon were half cousins, it was slightly gross, but cousins have married throughout history so it wasn't that outrageous to me. But half siblings! That is a line that need not ever be crossed on Y&R as far as I'm concerned and I doubt the censors would allow it anyway.

That whole GL story put me off, especially since he was so vile to her early on and then this was somehow supposed to be love.

My point here is that if this does happen on Y&R, they should just go all out, and have Daniel fully go to the dark side. The show really has no moral compass now anyway. There was a very weird indie film 15 years ago, with Benjamin Hendrickson (RIP), about a mother and young adult son who committed incest. It dealt with the subject in an interesting way. Since Y&R is so perverse these days, perhaps they should go there with Daniel and Phyllis.

Spanking the Monkey. Very disturbing movie. But they did "play the beats" in that film, for the most part. Unlike what Y&R does.

ETA: Just realized that Yvonne Zima is the sister of Madeline Zima (formerly the little girl from The Nanny, recently on Californication and Heroes.)

No (or rather no more) incest stories for me. I never find them compelling, I think good writing is effective, thorough, intelligent and interpretive. I have never found any of that in incest based stories. I'm sure the actual "story base" have much to do with it but I've been sold on things I consider "less" normal and worse. Personally I think in order to write a good incest story the writer have to really understand the core or the draw of it to convey it in the work

That's true, but then, these people seem to love to write stories with subjects they obviously know nothing about, from rape to cancer to paternity tests. I just think this would give MG and MS some good material, and be a big exit for for MG when he leaves.

I can't believe you think this should be shown on daytime TV under any circumstances. It would be completely outlandish and out of character. There is no set of circumstances under which I can imagine Phylis having sex with her son. If such a disgusting story ever got past the censors, Sony or the Bells (which it wouldn't) it would surely be the end of Y&R. Women are not going to what that kind of story on a soap, I can pretty much promise you that.

Anyway, just because this woman's story is going to heavily involve Daniel that does not mean they are going to be romantically involved. We don't even know this woman is related to Phylis.

I guess I am at the point where I really don't think any logic or taste is anywhere to be found on this show. Especially not after the stuff with Dr. Taylor.

I don't really want to see any storylines along these lines on soaps. But if they do try to put any of that type of stuff out there with this new woman and with Daniel, if they are blood relatives, then I think the material would work better with Phyllis and Daniel. I have always had a hard time believing them as mother and son anyway.

Sorry if I offended you.

Truthfully the worse thing about Y&R's current state is how much better it used to be overall. As bad as things are if we are honest worst have been done and is currently done on other shows. The thing that continues to make me upset is I'm sorry to put this in such a condescending tone but my viewing standards are uch higher than what I witness on many soap operas, now when they are good they are good but when they are bad I'm outta here. So Y&R being better than any of the latter isn't saying much....

      I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".

      Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.

      I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable.

      I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.

      Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
