Members soapfan770 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 We're gonna need a 5th potpourri thread soon. I've compiled a list of Y&R deaths since 1989 actually. Characters in with asterisks are villians, characters in italics came back from the dead, and characters in italics with underline are characters who were presumed dead but we knew they were alive. Characters in bold were murdered. Underlined is a baby that was more that a miscarriage. 1989: Phillip III George Rawlins* 1990: Jessica Blair 1991: Cassandra Rawlins David Kimble* 1992: Sheila* 1993: Rebecca Jack Abbott Jr. Scotty Grainger Victor 1994: Robert Lynch* Rex Sterling 1995: Blade Bladeson 1996: Luann Abbott Nathan Hastings 1997: Sasha Greene* 1998: Joshua Landers Veronica Landers* Eve Howard 1999: Umm, none? 2000: Tony Vascardi 2001: Matt Clark* Ryan McNeil 2002: Malcolm 2003: Isabella* 2004: Frank Barrit Cameron Kirsten* 2005: Cassie Tom Fisher* 2006: John Abbott Carmen Maesta* Emma Gibson I seem to recall another death happened this year, but can't remember who... 2007: Dru Ji Min Plum* Nick William Bardwell Pheila* 2008: Hope David Chow* Sabrina Marge Katherine Walter Palin* 2009: Brad Clint* Colleen Zapato The Young and the Restless Balfour* Faith 2010: Dr. Taylor* Notice the higher death count in more recent years.....

Members YRBB Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Patience, darling! We are trying to make these monthly! Yes, the hackier the writers, the more they rely on SHOCKING!!!! deaths. I miss the good old times when death was used sparringly and actually meant something. 1999 had Victor presumed dead, though, when he was at the New Mexico desert, hobbling around, fighting with Chet and putting the moves on humanoid Ramona.

Members DeeeDee Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Seriously. Adam's Hope died then Ashley's Hope died. Faith is still alive but in the wrong hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hope in this show also literally died in 2009. You know you're a bunch of hacks when you constantly use death as a means to drive story. It's shameful storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 If you were Ryder, Noah, Daisy or Eden you'd be hopeless too. Or we could just leave it at Amber and Kevin. The Young and the...Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted February 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Two people, a father and a daughter, who die the exact same way in the exact same lake who are also important, core, legacy characters (one of them next generation as well!). Sigh. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 It also seem like they running out of names. Let just hope the we don't get somebody with the same name dying. Like Deeedee brought up we got two Hope that are dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Maria: Let's hire Daphne... Hamner: Scooby Doo! Scooby Doo! Maria: No, Daphne from One Life to Live. She's black. Paul: On my One Life to Live?!?! Maria: Well, she was fired. Paul: (sigh of relief) Was it in the parking lot? Maria: Anyway, I want to hire her for my show. (Paul/Hogan chortle at "my show") Maria: What's so funny? Hogan: (looks nervous) Just man stuff. Men being men. Hamner: I know who killed Ji Min!!! Maria: Yes, we know, Scott. Anyway, I want to do a brave story about a light-skinned black woman who crosses the color line. Hogan: Didn't Lily already do that? Paul: Are you saying Lily's black? You told me it was just my tinted glasses! Get her down here... (Maria looks at Hogan) Hogan: No, you're right, sorry. Maria: Anyway, crossing the color line is a major issue today. I just watched a shocking new film called Imitation of Life. Hogan: I've seen that. It's a real peach. Hamner: Plum! Carmen and Plum!!! Hogan: The blonde girl is trashy and the blonde mother gets raped and they go crazy, right? Hot. Maria: No. No one in the movie was raped. Troy Donahue beat up Susan Kohner. Hogan: Troy Donahue? He's so hip. Let's make him the new John Abbott. I told Jerry not to keep getting that tan, he looks like the Kool Aid Man, it looks awful with the lighting. Maria: OK. Anyway, Ashley is the...blonde mother. Abby is the blonde daughter. Mamie is Ashley's maid. She's upset because her daughter, Daphne, is trying to be white. The message of the movie is -- don't try to be what you aren't. Paul: What's wrong with trying to be white? Maria: Nothing, but...Bill Bell was talking to me over my tofu this morning and he told me he doesn't like hearing that his show is racist. Paul: So what? Harding Lemay threw a damn brick through my window last night! Do I cry? No. Hogan: Let's get back on track. So the story is, Daphne's half-black but all woman. She's hot. She and Abby, who is like 20 now, get hot over a man who beats up Daphne when he finds out she's black. That's OK though cause he feels bad and everyone's mean to him. He's just being a man. Maria: Well... Hogan: Who should play Mamie? Paul: There's a fresh new talent, highly in demand. Marla Gibbs. Maria: Marla Gibbs? Florence the maid? Hogan: So she's already a maid. Perfect! And Mamie, she really hated that old Kool Aid Man Abbott and was having a hot sexy fling with Jack when Jack was a teenager, right? And Ashley saw them and she went crazy. It's all Jack's fault that Ashley is crazy. Seeing Mamie again makes Ashley go crazy and she kills Mamie and she kills Jack, and then she rapes Billy when she finds out Billy's not really her brother! I like it. Now should we knock her up?? Maria: What about...what about honoring history, and my vision, and... Hamner: Julie can't be the killer! She had curly hair and...where's Lynn? Lynn?? Bernard??? John Boy????

Members soapfan770 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 John Silva comes back as Adam's attorney only to be shot and killed by a lunatic Patty. Which I believe was the only example of two characters, both on contract I may add have the same first name but aren't related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
