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

Oh, now... Dee Dee... admit it. You want him really BAD. you want to tell him what a worthless piece of crap he is, and then have him take you on the bathroom floor. :lol:

After watching today, I got to say... how the hell did Zima get that role in prime time? Why did they want her on this show? Just WHOSE casting couch is this chick lying on? She sure didn't get hired for her talent. I just don't think I can stand to watch her ONE MORE DAY. She's that bad. She makes Hayley Erin look like Meryl Streep.

She was really young when she was on ER (oh, how I miss that show now that it's gone), so not much intense acting was required.

But yeah, whoever is casting this show needs their head examined. I can't necessarily blame the casting director, since the producer who sits in for the final audition and has final say in who gets hired is the one who ultimately hired these crappy actors. I wonder if it's Maria or Rauch that sits in on the auditions now. I know the girl who plays Eden said she auditioned for Maria when she got the part, so I guess it's Maria that's present for the final auditions.

These bad casting decisions make the already bad storylines even worse...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Barbara Bloom should try to steal Mark Teschner from GH, she does know him from her time at GH/PC.

According to Nelson, it was Barbara Bloom who wanted Stephen Nichols to replace William Russ as Tucker, and I can see that. We see how Maria and Rauch have no problems keeping bad or miscast actors on this show...

Brian Presley for nunuAdam!

[lovely_m]

Because Barbara Bloom wanted Stephen Nichols I wondered if Tucker has a better chance of staying.

If Muhney is gone then who the hell is going to explain their plots and do their publicity?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

That would have been better casting than Michael f.ucking Muhney...

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Probably, though, if budget cuts get too deep again, I can see them firing Nichols. Given how shortsighted this writing regime is and how it seems like they never plan anything out, I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch the Tucker character within a year and blame it on story or budget reasons.

LMFAO! So sad, yet so true. You rock, lovely_m!

[DeeeDee]

No!

He'll bring HER.

[DRW50]

How stupid was that scene where Sharon talked about how Faith likes her pacifier, just like Noah did? It's the lamest "special bond" I have ever heard of. What next, Faith poops her diaper, like Noah did?

[soapfan770]

I agree he Nichols made today's episode watchable although the episode still sucked. The sunglasses part was too cheesy and bad.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

LOL!

This baby switch has been plotted in such a lame manner, half the time, I think they forget there's an actual baby switch on this show.

This baby switch has sucked from day one and isn't getting any better.

After that chipmunk storyline they would never intentionally work for Y&R. They may give them negative publicity and people may come in to see the trainwreak like they do Jersey Shores.

The only reason Kevin Schmit was cast in their movie was so that they could beat on someone from Y&R. They wanted one of the writers or Greg Rikaart, but they were too old to play a convincing teenager.

[Juliajms]

I can't believe how utterly awful it is. The story is a never ending nightmare and the acting is just so atrocious. Something must be done. If ever a recast was needed Daisy is it, unless her demise is imminent. Today when she was covering her eyes because Michael had his shirt off Bitch, please. I just wanted to slap the character for being such a phony and the acting is only making it that much worse. She has me wishing that Tyra would come back and take her airtime. The whole thing is just an epic FAIL.
