Y&R Discussion: Week of 11/30


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Prettyrushed? It's moved at break neck speed. One minute these two are barely friends. Then they are in each other's presence like 3 times and next we know Adam is declaring his love? What is wrong with this picture? It should have taken months for these two to get sexual involved. I even retract my comments about Sharon Case not selling it in this story. There is nothing she could do as an actress to make this believable.

I do think Adam will pay, but not that way some fans want him to.

The funny thing is, they wouldn't be trying to force Adam and Sharon if they didn't have yet another poorly planned and horrible executed story to sell - this horrendous baby switch crap. That's the only reason Sharon and Adam were rushed.

I'm not even sure there's actual stories on Y&R anymore. It all just seems like filler material until the next big stunt or "shocking" revelation. This show is the epitome of threading water and using shock and awe tactics as a tool to pimp and promote themselves. Meh, why has Y&R fallen so hard and so fast?

I just felt like vomiting after Muhney's "I love you" delivery today...

Of course, but if you are going to do something like a baby switch then at least milk it for all it's worth. Sharon and Adam getting close by February sweeps and the switch revealed next November sweeps. May at the absolute earliest. But instead we are getting this rushed bullshit that destroys any emotional resonance this story could have eeked out.

the Abbott's got together before going to the shelter and it was a major fail. Billy and Jack got into a fight, Abby left the table. Emily got called away, I can't remember why Ashley left, maybe chasing after Abby. Jack and Ashley ended up at the shelter because of memories of John. Ashley and John worked their together one holiday when the others were away and Jack remembered John telling Colleen that when you feel sorry for yourself, you should help others.

So I've stopped watching AGAIN (pretty much only watched a handful of epis this November)and I read the summarY for today online. Apparently I'm not really missing any good beats. So Sharon is characterized as the character who sleeps with any man who gives her time she's not even picky?I guess that's not that out of character, but she does grieve her children and her mistakes. Even if she is getting help it is kind of a missed opportunity to miss that character growth just to shine the spotlight on Sharon and Adam and Nick because it makes the viewer not vested in the storyline, clearly someone is rushing to some crazy climax but when they take away the character's souls , guess what I and many other viewers won't care. Anyway, I know she can be unpopular and she's not a perfect actress or anything but I love M.Stafford. As I read the summaries it dawned on me the only reason I still recognized Phyllis was through her acting when she's not being lazy. You know in a wierd, ironic way I could probably write my thoughts on why I think most or all of these characters have become or are becoming sociopathic

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (
