Y&R: Week of November 16, 2009 Discussion

[Evan]

Oh lord, the Michael Muhney haters are out in force!

Sharon Case hates the guy so much that she was watching "Princess Bride" with him & sharing popcorn.

Newsflash: Chris Engen ain't coming back! Are we forgetting that the guy walked out in the middle of his contract?

I guess we'll blame Maria Arena Bell for that, and everything else!

[DRW50]

Adam is destroyed no matter who plays him, although Muhney's odd acting choices and lack of chemistry with co stars does not help.

I would not be upset if all the Newman kids were written out.

[lovely_m]

The only Newman children that could be written out are Abby and Victoria. Nick and Adam are their future. They killed off the best Newman child, Zapato.

[DRW50]

If Nick and Adam are their future, then goodnight. Both characters have been a huge burden to Y&R this year.

[MarkH]

What "odd acting choices" are you referring to? You've been very explicit about Billy Miller's tooth grinding and so forth...

[lmfan]

I'm not Carl, but he is a real smirk boy. He is trying to act like he is truly apologetic for his past behavior and has changed and yet he is smirking when he gets away with things. And often he is smirking in front of the characters he is trying to con. And then sometimes he acts blind and sometimes he seems to forget he is supposed to be blind.

[MarkH]

You're not Carl, but you're generally a pretty astute observer.

I definitely know what you mean about his face. Although I have to say that some blind individuals I have known (mostly from birth, mind you) have had facial expressions that seem "off"...and that was because they were not aware of their expressions. But after a lifetime of seeing his face, one would expect Adam to be better at it, .

It doesn't bother me (Muhney's face), because I like what he's trying to do with the character. He was handed a psychopath (that's what he walked into), and he's been trying to slowly dial it back and imbue it with a little more humanity.

I enjoyed Chloe sticking it to Mac. I wish Chloe could have gloated in Billy and Mac's faces. Their dumb relationship is already a mess. Why is Billy is in bed with another woman? It is out of control.

[BadZoe]

I loved Chloe's line, just give him a few months and he'll be back to worshipping the ground you waddle on. I really don't understand what the purpose was of bringing back Mac, the relationship with Billy is horrible and this surrogacy stuff would have worked so much better with a recasted Colleen.

[DeeeDee]

Chloe sucks.

Liz Hendrickson is awesome but the character serves no purpose.

[DRW50]

I'm sure we'll be enthralled by the inevitable Bloe reunion at some point.

[dm.]

I can stand the character just because of the actress, but it doesn't take much to realize that she's being written just as bad as the rest of the show. Plus, her ENTIRE stint has been during MAB's reign, so that's as much as there's to say about her character.

[DeeeDee]

Of course.

She's the Tea Delgado of Y&R.

Maria's batting a 1,000. lol

[classicmoment]

Interestingly enough their scenes do not nauseate or bore me so (with the exception fo the usual suspects, Walton,Cooper, Cast, Davidson mostly because they are usually in scenes together as opposed to someone who I find annoying to watch) that makes Chance 7 Chloe the most tolerable scenes for this week isn't that something? We make the show less so these are our shining moments

[JimTolkien]

ICAM on the Sharon Case thing...she better cut that stuff out, it will not fly in this environment, not it won't!!

I think my problem with the show is I have no bloody idea what is going on anymore. Usually viewers have some inkling of what the s/ls could be about. The writing is all over the place. Storylines that should be moving are not...can't even find the words here. Does anyone else know what's going on exactly. I just want this year to be over with already!!
