Y&R Episodes Discussion

That X-Mas 2003 that re-aired yesterday makes me so sad to see how things have rapidly fallen apart for this show over the course of the past 6 years.

And yes, the production values were great. They should really fire Rauch and bring back David Shaughnessy to handle the technical production again. Not only that, but the family dynamics back then seemed a lot more stronger, and the characters felt like actual defined characters. That episode was filled with so much heart, and it wasn't shallow/hollow and cold like this year's Christmas episode, or most of this year for that matter.

Mark, she doesn't have a lot to do in the episode. She isn't in the first part and in the second part they just show her walking into the ranch. The third part near the end she kisses Bobby, and she doesn't have a speaking part in the fourth part either.

I had forgotten Devon was around back then. I'd also forgotten Christine was still on the show by this time. I knew she returned to represent Daniel when Cassie was killed but I thought that was just a visit.

Malcolm's fake hair doesn't get any better. Olivia's hair also looks fake. That weird flashback Dru had where Olivia was in the background doing the smug smirk was sort of a symbol of what a hack job Y&R did on Olivia for the last 5-6 years she was on the show. Up to around the time she got together with Malcolm she had been a character I really liked and respected. Then she just blanded out and then became so unpleasant so they could generate sympathy for Malcolm.

Dru looks so gorgeous in the 2004 episode. I love the glittery green eyeshadow. And JT looks as good as ever. It was nice to see Ashley's Mac again. I was never a big fan of hers but she has a warmth which I haven't seen in the character in ages.

The 2003 episode -- Michael staring in at the window, giddy at the reunited Newmans, was a wee bit creepy, was it not? It was like the definition of a Newman propper.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
    • Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
