Y&R: Episode discussion, week of January 18, 2010

Stephen Nichols debuts January 27, 2010

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Ugh, not looking forward to this already botched Tucker mess....

[DRW50]

Poor Stephen Nichols. Bad hair seems to be a requirement on the show now.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

At least the hair matches the writing, Carl.

[MarkH]

My guess is that they'll try to match Russ' hair at the start...but once Nichols clearly owns the role....his style will take over. Already the manner of dress has changed (to a fitted, bonafide suit) as you can see.

[DRW50]

Given that Josh Morrow has a similar style, also not very flattering, I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they made Russ style his hair that way in the first place. It has never looked like that in his primetime appearances.

[JimTolkien]

I am so excited to see SN joining Y&R that no one will ruin this for me, not even poor writing..YOU GOT THAT!!

[Chris B]

His hair looks like a toupee. I hope his suits are sexy, masculine and well fitted. I think B&B and GH dress their men the best. And OLTL since their men are always naked. I really appreciate that.

[Cat]

TRUTH. I am looking forward to this. Elvis McPeepaw was miscast from the get-go. I honestly cannot fathom what a sultry diva like Jill sees in him. Stefan Nichols OTOH? I hope he gives Tucker some definition -- and sizzle.

Love that preview for tomorrow's show and dmarex will too!

[Juliajms]

Is it just me, or is getting revenge on your 80 year old mother pretty pathetic? I'm looking forward to SN taking over the role of Tucker, but his introduction has left something to be desired.

[DeeeDee]

[DRW50]

Mommy issues are never too much for this team. And this is yet another way to prop Victor and present women as helpless.

I'm just glad they aren't doing the Victor/Dorthy McGuire story. He'd have probably headbutted her.

[Cat]

I actually got chills seeing Norman stare out at me like that!

Tucker McPeepaw as a (literally) de-toothed Norman?

[Juliajms]

Mommy issues can make good soap. but when the "mommy" is 80 years old, it's time to let it go.
