Y&R: Potpourri Thread 4

People still ask Joan Van Ark about her time as Real!Gloria.

Gloria was better as white trash dressing like Britney Spears' Nan in the trailer park. I knew something was wrong when she started wearing those business suits after she married John. I still say JVA would've done more with the role than Chapman.

i really liked JVA as gloria, chapman she is completely miscasted as gloria. saying that there is a lot if miscasted actor/actress on this show.

this show really doesn't have a clue how to write for it's teen scene they should really look at the british and aussi soaps for ideas.

also this show doesn't got a clue have to write for it core audience women. do they really think the females viewers likes seeing women being degraded weaken and abused by the men on the show.

MAB should be ashamed of herself for what she as done to the women on the show is and I am blaming her she is the one who keeps going on and on how this is her vision.

also i sick of the freakin art storylines just because MAB loves art doesn't mean she has to keeping writing stupid art storylines and nobody likes them.

JVA's trashy Gloria was an interesting addition to Y&R, whereas JC's Gloria was written as Brenda Dickson's Jill. If John Abbott had to die, Jill should be his widow fighting his children. All of the sudden Jill was busy having lunch with "Mother", while Gloria was Eighties Jill 2.0.

I had to LOL at those spoilers there. Especially that one about

, I can see such a "trauma" for Sharon for her to sleep with Nick, Jack, JT, Billy, Victor, and Tucker! A seven-way who's the daddy story!!

I also happened to come across a very, very spoilerish picture of Lauren's story! Pictured below are Lauren and

You left out Cane. Imagine the trauma for Lily when she learns Sharon is carrying his child. Fortunately, everything is fine when Sharon agrees to name the little boy Drew. Cassie's spirit reappears and, as a nod to our old friend, wears a strange hat. Devon asks Cassie's ghost if Tyra really was the new Dru, and Cassie simply says, "F*ck that noise," and disappears.

The stress of having another newborn baby causes Sharon to begin stealing from the local IHOP. Fortunately, she gets inspiration from that acronym and gives the 19 year old manager the ride of his life in exchange for not being shopped to the cops.

Imagine her horror when the manager knocks on Jack Abbott's door later that day.

"Dad...it's me, Kyle!"

    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
