It's MAB's view of Kay Chancellor through her relationship with Jeanne Cooper.

Maybe that's the way she constructs all the stories on Y&R.

Damn, then she must really hate Sharon Case in real life. LOL!

And, contrary to the glowing comments from Stephen Nichols, Jess Walton must be a backstabbing whore!?

Ma Bell from Beverly Hills is just...ugh, it's so frustrating, I wish Y&R would just get canceled at this point. At least if it were canceled today we could all say "Well at least Jeanne Cooper ended the show, at least Victor and Nikki were happy, at least Jack, Jill, Ashley, Tracey and Billy survived with Jabot etc"

When 2011 rolls around, I cannot fathom what the show will look like.

That purple number Ashley was wearing in yesterday's show looked like something they stole from an 70's PGP Soap. It just reeked of cheap, tacky, and thoughtless.

OMG!!! I LOVED her blouse! I thought it was the best wardrobe choice all week! I don't see how it looked cheap. what about it was cheap to you? The styling? the color? the fabric?

Same here.

It's pretty depressing isn't it?

The sad thing is, no one seems to care about preserving some of the show's integrity and identity.

I've noticed that clothing has really gone downhill, I wonder if the actors are having to bring their own clothes or something because it's really atrocious.

It HAS been bad, but I think this week has improved somewhat. And if the actresses are wearing their own clothes... it dpeneds on who it is, whether they look good or not. Melody's taste in real life is QUITE lacking, IMO.... but Jeanne wears her own clothes from what I understand, as did Dickson. Jess wears her own jewelry (Which I like) but otherwise, Jess is dressing like a FRUMP.

The fabric looks so cheap and so thin...the ruffles on the shoulders and in the middle of it. It's just so dated.

Coupled with the fact that it's not even form fitting.

I'm not being a hater, I swear. I just really hate that damn shirt and just about what everyone is wearing on the show these days. Jill's jacket looks terrible too.

honey... it's called chiffon. It's supposed to be thin! When it comes to fashion, EVERYTHING is dated... it's all been done before. Jess' entire wardrobe sucks, I'll agree there.

EXCUSE ME!! Who is writing this dialogue!!! Katherine chancellor using the word "Manure"? MANURE!!???

It still looks like sh*t.

Also, that neck thing...I mean, really?

You all are so much more sophisticated than I. I think the set is an interesting/different choice (bedroom + office), and it says a lot about the kind of workaholic AND "playa" AND poor work/life balance kind of guy that Tucker is.

I won't lie Mark I havn't been watching consistently at all (barely watch full epis when I do watch) but I havn't gotten the full impression of Tucker that you're speaking of here therefore I'm not matching this set to any of these "characteristics of his". He's playing Jill he's moved into a new town, so that does give him a playa card and a seemingly imbalanced and or unsettled card but I wouldn't definitively say these elements are his primary characterization. That makes him a disorganized old playboy/nerd If this is what there is to him, I'm not buying that he needs Katherine, Victor, Neil,, Cane, Michael and Jack to take him down. So if TPTB is trying to draw these symbollic themes through Tucker's home they are again playing the wrong beats.

I like the look of the wood, the view out of the window, the depth of the set--right down to the elevator alcove. I guess I have Ikea tastes, and that must be a bad thing... I much prefer this set to, say, the Jabot sets or Indigo or even the GCAC. It's bright and visually interesting to me.

The set is one step above Bo and Hope's boat on DOOL from 1994 on fwd to me

There should be an arrogant, child-like petulance in the "subtext" of all of Tucker's scenes. I'm not sure that is being played/written yet.

This sounds more like some sort of Napolean complexity (forgive me I don't know what other term to use). Sounds like you're describing this small character who is naively convinced of the justification of their own vindictiveness or with them being drunk with the power of their own manipulations and malitions so much so that this makes them feel big, but we already know Tucker shouldn't be naive or easily out witted just by the fact that he needs Katherine, Victor and Jack to band together to take back what he took from them.

I actually didn't love SN's first day. I didn't like the sunglasses (although it made me wonder if Nichols was trying to move the characterization to the more "mentally adolescent" and "attention getting" framework I mentioned above), and I especially didn't like when Jill LAUGHED at his mean "joke" about "you're all fired". Why would Jill laugh?? Or at least smile? Makes no sense...

I like the fact that Nichols, like Russ, is playing Tucker more easy going for now but what Nichols is doing is he's exuding a different kind of confidence as the character. He's already more convincing in this characters one uppness undertone.

Nichols is INCREDIBLE. The look after Katherine raked him over the coals, tears welling up after she left, inner rage.... WOW. Nichols and Cooper are ELECTRIC together.

Wow. Jack has nerve.

He's quick to forget that he was all about having some of Jill's puss too.

Victor is going to own Jabot. Mark my words.
