Y&R: Week of November 16, 2009 Discussion

[Toups]

Most of today's show was pretty good, mainly because of the business storyline. Now this makes it two things that I'm excited about. And it was great seeing Vail/Heather's smokin hot bod again.

[BadZoe]

The last pairing she generated chemistry in was with Billy and she had absolutely none at all with Peter Bergman, yet they had the characters marry which was very painful for everyone. They should have developed this so called Friendship between Sharon and Adam a long time ago and aborted this stupid baby switch storyline entirely. I really wish that Adam was just gone at this point because he is so destroyed. Maybe we could see some masked man grab him off the street, throw him in a trunk and that could be it for a long time.

I think Mac is being written as a nutcase. She should be the voice of reason advising big baby Lily that now is not the time to have a baby. That she is supporting this is ridiculous.

Why oh why can't Gloria ever have a downfall? She is not comic relief and should be facing charges for aiding and abetting Patty's escape. Colleen wouldn't even be dead if it wasn't for her and her hubby. Yet here these two are getting a pay cheque for no F'ing reason.

Jess with airtime is always nice.

Just don't get used to it, it will probably be over in a couple of weeks when Katherine gets to hold hands with her daughter Gloria and grandsons Kevin and Michael.

Did you see the huge number of Shadam lovers on other boards? What's up with these kids just falling in love with every single bad coupling there is? It just makes me so sick to my stomach. They apparently can't watch the show when Shadam isn't on and they blame the bad ratings on their absence - and there's already so many of them! Ugh.

Adam needs to die.

[BadZoe]

I think they are moles for the show who are pushing TIIC agenda.

[MarkH]

Shadam, eh? Funny.

I find the chemistry between the actors to be enjoyable...Sharon has a lightness with him, and he seems sincere and wanting to be a better guy with her. (That's what I see in his performance, and it is also what Muhney says he's trying to play). Plus, the built-in drama with Nicholas, and with the baby Adam stole...means it is all a deliciously soapy confection.

Let me be clear...I wish they'd dialed back on Adam's villainy a year ago. But they didn't...this is what they wanted to write. So far, I am on board. I find Muhney to be capable. I tend to view Adam as a bit of a compartmentalized fella, who locks all these pieces of himself in different "rooms". (Yes, that is also the profile of dissociated serial killer, and I continue to believe there is some very dark backstory for Adam that we can only guess at). I think Muhney plays a little edgy and a little crazy, and for me that fits the version of Adam they have been trying to serve us for almost a year.

But starry-eyed fandom over this couple?? That's funny! I think it is the sickness that brought them together...and maybe the fact that they strangely overcome it a little when they are together...that makes them more compelling.

And make no mistake: "Shadam" fans are probably really "Phick" fans in sheep's clothing, LOL.

[BadZoe]

Everyone watch Mac's miraculously changing ponytail tomorrow!\\

Mark H, I'm a Phick fan but that won't make me go and promote horrible Sharinit parings. Since I watch live, I have to suffer through those!!

[Katherine Chancellor] Dear God In Heaven [/Katherine Chancellor]

[MarkH]

LOL.

By the way, I felt that so strongly yesterday. Gloria is Kay's daughter...I know people don't want that...I don't want that...but it's happening. I feel it.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I liked him on Veronica Mars, but then I saw him on Y&R, and yeah, boy does he suck ass on this show and is completely miscast and too old to play Adam.

I was never a huge Engen fan though, but now I miss him, strangely.

[Sylph]

I know.

This can easily be solved: just expose Muhney's Adam as an impostor and bring the vulnerable soul of Engen's as the real deal.

Never gonna happen, but one can suggest.

[JSROCKS]

Hopefully this is the start of a PTSD storyline for MAC, otherwise, your right and ITA that the current s/l is ridiculous.

[BadZoe]

If this is a PTSD story, why are they forcing Chloe and P3 and not organically developing Mac and P3? There is no foundation for any of these storylines.
