Y&R: Episode Discussion for the week February 1

[MarkH]

LMAO. I thought of you when I posted that...and I'm delighted to see you 100% gave me what I was expecting,

Absolutely. It would be akin to the scene in Slumdog Millionaire where the hero jumped in a sh!t pond in order to flee.

[bellcurve]

Or maybe you're just that predictable?

[MarkH]

Indeed, and I shall strive for consistency in the future as well. Predictability is often under-rated.

[DeeeDee]

If Doug & Beth don't win Emmys there is no justice.

[lovely_m]

I bet Doug won't even be pre-nominated and Beth might be just to justify the credibility of Colleen's death.

[DeeeDee]

Doug has done SO much with SO little.

He's overdue.

I know what you mean. They had a kiss yesterday (and I just know the showrunners were all "Yeah, let's just throw in a Nashley kiss, whatever... and then we'll get back to all those exciting scenes with Phyllis sniffing out DA TRUTH!") and it was probably the sweetest, most tender kiss I have seen on this show in some time. ED and KSJ made silk out of a sow's ear.

Damn, I wish Ashley was doing bloodhound work instead of Phyllis and Neil telling her they'd "take care of it."

[lovely_m]

This is so true, but that won't matter. The prenoms will go to Billy, Micheal, or even Greg.

[Cat]

LONG overdue. I'm still bummed they trashed Paul & Nikki -- and didn't even give Paul a decent scene tearing Grambo a new one for turning Patty into a psychopath. EB had to win so they had Victor barking "Howdareyoucome. Into dis house! Andspeaktomelikedat! Whodoyouthinkyouare, Paul Williams?" Doug Davidson was given absolutely ZERO dialogue in that scene but he worked so hard to give Paul dignity and righteous anger without the words. I was standing up and cheering him on when I first watched that particular scene. And the church scenes with Patty -- I hope he gets an Emmy pre-nom for those.

[classicmoment]

Which begs the question why is Kevin still around? or at least a better one why is Kevin and Jana still around? I like both actors but talk about deadweight

[Y&RWorldTurner]

God, this show is such a f.ucking chore to get through.

[DeeeDee]

Billy ok but Michael & Greg?

Ew.

[DeeeDee]

Exactly.

He made Paul/Nikki work with NOTHING & Doug/Beth were the best thing about Patty's drama/Colleen's death.

The church scenes with MTS should be enough to garner him an Emmy too.

[lovely_m]

It's obvious this show loves Micheal Muhney and they may nominate Greg for the chipmunk storyline to prove it wasn't all bad. I think that both Billy and Micheal were more lead actors than supporting.

[DRW50]

Billy Miller seemed to do a lot of face-pulling moreso than performances in the scenes. I'm not sure what he would submit. I guess that scene where Billy whined to Jack after Jack found out he'd nailed Sharon. A lot of people seemed to like that. I don't know if that NYE episode would work or not because I thought it was a huge mess, although if Tony Geary can win for that My Way sh!t, anything is possible.

Are we talking about Michael Muhney or Michael who plays Daniel?
