Y&R: Episode discussion, Week of January 25, 2010

[DeeeDee]

Lily shouldn't die just be recast.

Daisy can die.

LOVE her.

[Juliajms]

Very good point. I have to agree with you on both fronts. Daisy is a pointless character.

[DeeeDee]

Seriously.

The character is pointless but at the very least it COULD be tolerable with an actress that could act.

Jana is pointless too but Emily O'Brien has enough talent to make the character somewhat entertaining.

[alphanguy74]

These wardrobe people need to take note of the way she's been dressed this week. With her coloring and complexion, Eileen simply GLOWS in those deep, saturated jewel tones.

I think it's time for Sharon and Phyllis to have a scene like this:

And something ELSE I noticed today. I'm telling you, Braeden and Muhney have BONDED. Between them speaking German to each other and their common interest in macho, athletic endeavors.... it seems Braeden is allowing Muhney to push farther in these scenes than he usually allows. I'm convinced that Braeden has taken him under his wing, in today's final scene, he looked almost PROUD of what Muhney was giving. I almost expected him to say, "Well done, my little grasshopper".

[MarkH]

Oh yeah. In his return interview, Braeden explicitly said that Sharon Case and Michael Muhney were the ones who stayed in touch and showed support during his absence.

It seems to me that Victor is now fully on "Team Adam". Nick and Victoria can kick rocks...and so can Ashley, Jack, Neil, Paul, Amber (the latter four of whom all gave negative public statements about Braeden's press-contract shenanigans).

I agree with all the reasons you indicate that they have bonded. It will be nice to see Victor feel some genuine kinship (because Victor feels what Eric feels) for his son.

[MoTheGreat]

I guess MM have to be nice to EB seeing the viewers can't stand him as Adam. & I never cared for Victor. So MM is in good company with EM.

& SC probably want that emmy vote from EB when the casts vote.

[BadZoe]

I find it pretty stupid that they show Mac getting weekly ultrasounds when the medical community has come out recently to caution women against getting them too often. Hopefully this Friday will have the same low rating the last ultrasound got.

Did Lily not consider before that she might die from her cancer? It's like it took the death of a friend to make it seem at all real and now she gets to worry about her babies being motherless. Shouldn't that have been thought about before deciding to go for surrogacy before remission. I think this is the dumbest least sympathetic cancer storyline I have ever seen. But then nothing on this show is tugging at my emotional heart strings these days.

I think its obvious that Adam is a plant and this sudden feud with Victor is all for show. I think it would be funny if Tucker realizes it too and uses it to feed Newman false information that they lose their shirts on. I would love it if the Newman's were suddenly the pennyless underdogs.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Word.

These twits are awful and make their already bad storylines much worse with their "acting."

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Yes, I think it's pretty stupid that anyone on this show would buy Victor selling secrets about his own family, especially when they would reflect back on him. This is lame.

[lovely_m]

Adam and Victor are hijacking Katherine's storyline. Maybe it felt that way because Katherine wasn't in today's episode.

I'm assuming since no one giggled Adam's affair with Rafe was not mentioned by Victor or the article.

I wonder if Tucker let JT take the day off because he wanted a (blood) parental bond like JT has with Reed. Or maybe the writers are phasing JT out of the role of Tucker's right hand man so Cane can take the position.

That's not going to happen. YOUGOTTHAT!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Let's see how Victor feels when he finds out his son was gaslighting his ex-wife and singlehandedly led to her miscarrying their child, regardless if it was intentional or not, and then when he finds out his son gave his granddaughter to Ashley and made his other son think she was dead.

[alphanguy74]

The thought of those scenes are one thing to look forward to. I'm nervous, though... because Maria doesn't seem to be able to do a payoff.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

BINGO, it's not just the payoff she sucks at though, it's the whole aftermath. After something happens, it seems like this writing team completely ignores it and skips out on any aftermath and lingering effects it might have.

[YRBB]

Victor will point his finger at Adam, telling him he'll pay for this. After the opening credits, Ashley will see Adam and slap him, telling him she never thought he would do this to her. After that, Sharon will see Adam and tell him he's despicable. Phyllis will fume and blame Sharon. Ashley will have a wet dream with Adam, and think she's going crazy. Sharon will reunite with baby Faith and by episode's end she will have told Nick the truth and they will go away behind a dumpster somewhere to have sex. Noah will not be told until three months later.
