Sleeping pills should be off the market, watching Y&R is enough to get me to doze off these days.

How can a show so bad be so damn boring and predictable? As I mentioned in another thread, this show is not the type of trainwreck where it's so bad you HAVE to watch, it's the type of trainwreck that's so boring and predictable that you get angry and tired with it.

LOL @ them trying to make Phyllis heroine and Nick hero. Not buying it Maria try again. They are not some super couple they are so out of place in this storyline because we are supposed to buy some blend of love between their unhealthy marriage, a child in recovery, entrepreneurs and Private Investigations? What is the drive of these two? Clearly they are in this story so as to look heroic and the inevitable twist of "Faith". But what is Phyllis' true drive that she is practically leading this story? I don't buy Nick set up this grand scheme when I see JM and EB in the scenes revealing the "ploy" it almost seems as if Victor came up with it and is letting Nick take the credit

Giggly Heffa has outlasted her time on this show. I've really come to hate the character of Phyllis and especially how they've essentially made a story that she should have never been a vital part of, about her, and her being the one on Adam's trail. This story would have been much better if one of Adam's victims, hell, even Heather, was the one closing in on him. I simply do not care, and I already know the Phyllis of yesteryear is gone, so...

All the characters on this show are so unsympathetic, I just do not care.

Eileen is the only thing that kept me from turning the TV off today. I'd like to THINK that Jill will extract some revenge from Tucker...but I'm totally convinced it won't happen. So watching Jill today was like Chinese water torture. And when Billy exposed Victor and the slutty fruit of his loins, everyone has such outrage, but now everyone is using him for their vendettas, and suddenly nobody is calling anyone ELSE out on their motives. Where is saint Mackenzie lecturing Jill?

I was sorry to see Patty boinkers I always like her

and never understood why they got rid of Paul's family.

I know Dad died and Mum is up there but its so much history

they just never wrote for him.

I would have prefered it vice-versa, Emily the wacko and Patty

the psychiatrist or something..Emily has no ties to the show so

why not her?

Yeah, I thought they established that Adam only knew because Skye was one of the women molested.

Even better is that Phyllis managed to find out in a brief stop on the way to Summer's doctor appointment. It's not like she did some major Paul-level detective work there.

Maybe they have "Taylor Molested Here" billboards on campus or something.

And WTF was he going off on Maclcolm about? He doesn't TRUST HIM? Who the HELL should trust YOU, CANE?!!! He's such a greasy SOB... I wanted Malcolm to kick him in the balls, HARD.

It's not exactly much to hang your hat on..... but maybe Taylor's cronies are being loose lipped about it now that he's dead? It's the only plausible thing I can think of.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By VelekaCarruthers · Posted

      I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry).

      Bill and the performer are the strongest male character and actor on this show.  Yeah, how I see it too. you pair your best young female with one of the weakest screams sabotage to me.  I like this idea, it doesn't make things too predictable. I would buy that!

      I hit the Google Machine, and can't find Alex Alegria's (Tomas) age anywhere. Wow, I really disagree with this. I like that Bill plays against the typical bad guy. I think Maurice Johnson has been just fine -- except for that swaying. I cannot believe someone -- anyone -- on that set didn't give him a note. He should have been called out on that in week one. The swaying and swiveling never stops unless he sits down. I understand the need for product placement and the reason for it. However, it does feel wrong during emotional scenes. Yes, we're talking about the products, but it takes us out of those emotional moments, and GATES shouldn't be happy about that. They need to do better. Maxim said it better than I did. I agree. The writers have absolutely failed Ashley and Derek. I've abused both of them here, but I do place more of the blame on the writing. Compare what A & D have been given with the dialogue Ambyr Michelle is getting as Eva. We're not even in the same universe. Ambyr is getting writing that plays to her (many) strengths. She takes good dialogue and knocks it out of the park. Ashley and Derek are given garbage to play and garbage to say.

      The Eva / Tomas scenes at the end -- to see a good actress having to play a scene with someone giving her less than nothing -- that was painful.

      I thought the story had it’s moments, I much preferred the story once Greg was meddling, trying to keep her away from Tom Ryan. I loved them together!   And there was a story they could have developed from this. Laura stopped having a lot of scenes with the ensemble. She's the only one missing during the big finales of seasons 5&6, and I would have been cool to play on that! For one, Laura being a more cutthroat business executive just made sense to me. Also, the point I was trying to make regarding Mary Robeson was that I wish they had focused on a story from her family /background beforehand. You could play the Vin artist from many angles.
