Members MarkH Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Filler's fine with me, as long as it advances character and motivation. Did that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Word. The idiot writers at Y&R don't know when to quit it with the shock value. They've already taken the Adam character too far, the last thing we need is a potential Adam/Sharon romance. I don't believe so, then again, I'm sure you'll find some rationalization for it.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm sure this is one of his filler appearances, until he appears again in 5 weeks time... With this hack writing writing regime, they'd make Devon start fantasizing about Lily again, and then when he can't have her, he'll rape her if they want to give him a story.

Members dm. Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Don't get your hopes up, he won't get a story. They probably just reunited him with Roxanne (or did I read wrong?) so he would have something to do off screen besides lust after the one he lost-Tyra.

Members JSROCKS Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Unfortunately, ITA with you both. The shame IMO is that Devon, the streetsmart kid save by Dru, has a story crying out to be told that even a hack writer should be able to see it.

Members MarkH Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is there any update on Tyra's return date? This was explicitly referred to in one of the press articles after she last left. What would do with Devon next, JSROCKS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dm. Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 She'll never return. She's been Korbel-ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JSROCKS Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'd make him more conflicted. His bumping of uglies with Tyra should have been played-up as just a daliance on his part-- a way to stick it to Neil who has not been much of a role model. He should never have been "the good son", there shouldn't be any understandings of any kind between him and Neil over the Trya insident. Those two should be at WAR!! THERE SHOULD BE CONFLICT. His relationship with Roxie has never really been explored, so now we're susposed to believe she's going to forgive and forget after catching him in the act. PLEASE!! She should make his a ss crawl thru dog doo to get back in her good graces. There should be conflict. The anger over losing his anchor (Dru) should have started simmering in his toes building up over time until it (the anger) exploded when Karen left, the Neil/Tyra mess came to light and Aunt Della Resse dropped her "I thought you knew bomb". That boy should be constipated with conflict. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yes, yes yes!!!! This was always my thought. I have some questions about whether Bryton is really the right casting...for the hard, angry "next Victor Newman" that I imagine Devon SHOULD be. But I have to give Bryton credit, because he is probably the best actor of color on Y&R right now...he visibly cares more than either KSJ or CK. So, even if they stick with Bryton, I'd much rather see the conflicted, angry, destructive Devon you describe. That would be real. I truly believe Devon should be the heir to Victor Newman's throne. Because when you are born in an environment of distrust and lack of love, you never FULLY get over that...no matter what. The damage is too early. I really wish we could see YOUR Devon! Unfortunately, I think this regime is scared to play a (justifiably) angry man of color. And I also don't trust that they could handle the story as anything but a caricature at this time.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 This show and it's hack writing regime really needs to stop trying to make Deacon happen already. He's mis-written, not even interesting, and completely useless. On top of his raping of Amber during the summer. I roll my eyes whenever he's on now... Time for him to go...

Members Cheap21 Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Who the heck is Ryder's mother? Sheila? Anyone else disgusted that when Lily realized that Devon slept with Tyra, she was more shocked about him doing that bc he hated Tyra for messing up Neil's marriage to Karen, instead of the fact that Tyra is his aunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 OK, I posted this in the wrong thread the first time: I wonder if Y&R purposely stole this whole SEC investigation storyline from the headlines? For awhile there were accusations that Apple was lying about Steve Jobs health when he had is organ transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 21, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 21, 2009 So, Ryder's mother wants Deacon to break up Michael/Lauren? Hmm...this could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah - by throwing in Michael/Lauren with the Scoobies and this new mystery woman, thus enlarging the story it's getting good. DYING to find out who she is and what she's up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
