Y&R Episodes Discussion

[Rhiannon]

Did GloHo and JeffHo get rich again because they got money from Victurd related to that Cayman Islands bank debacle?

Does Walnut Grove or GC's public high school have dorms ?

I thought Daisy, Eden and Noah were still in HS.

Emil/Jack are brutally rushed! WTF is up with the fast "I love You" form Emily and Adam. Slow the fack down, MAB!! They should've followed by Sharon/Adam timeline - mine was way better.

They invested in a company Michael suggested (at least I think that's what happened).

That puzzled me too. I know Walnut Grove is an "elite high school" for the rich....but they have dorms and scholarships??

[lovely_m]

I don't know about the dorms, but they always had scholarships. That's how Raul was able to go.

[Toups]

Okay thanks. I have no idea how the private schools work, except that parents have to pay a lot money.

One correct application of a basic writing technique ambiguity does not equate to good writing in this case Mark. These people should be trained and experienced in knowing these "tricks" and we have to look at the storytelling on the large scope of what it is, which is bad

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I still don't think he would have a pissed off look on his face if he were looking at a place on the sofa to aim his damn jacket. I see nothing ambiguous about what he did.

[Toups]

I agree that there was no "Did he or didn't he?" He obviously did it on purpose to break the Cassie's picture - that was a low bow to me as a viewer, my heart actually sank (in a bad way) when I saw that.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Also, why was it necessary for them to break/ruin that drawing anyway? We already know Adam is supposed to be evil and Nick is supposed to be good, and Sharon is supposed to be stupid...

Did they think showing the flashback afterwards was going to manipulate people into accepting it all?

I really hope Sharon saved it, it sounded to me like she threw the whole thing away at the end of yesterday's episode.

I don't even know why this whole thing is bothering me so much, I guess I saw that drawing as a character in itself, like Mark said earlier. Destroying it made no sense, and I didn't understand why they had to do it.

[Toups]

What??? The picture was actually ruined??? Surely it was just the frame that was broken. I will be even sadder if the picture is torn and ruined.

I saw it as a character too.

[MarkH]

Nick said just the frame was broken. The picture is not ruined. They're not going to do that.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Sharon said she "loved that picture so much."

Also, she talked about how she needed to move on from it and embrace "change."

We don't know what the hell she did with it. She never mentioned saving the painting itself.

I'm sorry, but Sharon would be an obvious emotional mess after that thing hit the ground. She would not have composed herself as she did by the end of yesterday's episode. I hate how extra stupid she's been during this Adam storyline.

[Khan]

Exactly. I love a good "tortured love story," but you have to lay the foundation first before you put viewers through hell. LOL!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Like how they wouldn't kill a dog and a core next generation character?

I put nothing passed this incompetent writing team. Everything is purposely done for shock on this show, and there's no heart in anything on this show anymore, it's all an empty black hole. This show is like a poor man's GH without the better dialogue, better casting, and mob aspect (but I'm sure the mob will hit Genoa City sooner or later with this writing team there).

[Khan]

I'm confused. Are we saying Emily is the real Patty, and Patty (Jane) is the real Emily?

[MarkH]

Well, even Doris commented on that during her last visit. I guess it makes sense. Sharon went off the rails after Brad's death. It culminated in her stint in the "frickin' funny farm". Although she was apparently "insta-recovered" after losing Faith, we all know that doesn't make sense. Moreover, during her therapy that we saw, she didn't want to discuss the real issues. So, it makes sense that Sharon's still emotionally disturbed.

We know that Sharon tends to glom onto a man when she is disturbed. This is why Doris chided her for not being able to go a month without a man.

So, while Sharon has been 'extra-stupid", this little twist seems more character-based. And, of course, it times perfectly for this plot-driven insta-romance with Adam. (I'm disappointed they won't slow that down, because I think it could have been something real).

Yup!

But I think they're in a rush to get Sharon knocked up for February Sweeps, so that Adam can get shot at May sweeps.
