I have another beef about today. Kristoff was just STANDING there like a fuc$ing lawn jockey with the confrontation between Ashley and Adam. If he's supposed to have feelings for Ashley, he needed to have a more aggressive stance in that scene, HELL... he needed to have some DIALOGUE!!!!! They are giving Kristoff NO meat and potatoes to play in these scenes. He's being seen and not HEARD.

Rauch told both Malcolm & Neil protrayers they are not to talk back to their white masters. I mean they should know their places. They can't not win against the white man & it doesn't matter what country the white man is from.

Another thing about Neil & Ashley realtionship we all know this isn't going to last. I'm sure White Prince Charming is waiting for Ashley to take on the Newmans sluts.

This is the least of Y&R's problems, but I am stunned at how terrible Stephen Nichols looks and acts on the show. Those dorky suits, the cheesy drawl, the Braeden-lite mannerisms, the bad hair, and he looks sorta wizened. (Maybe it's the harsh lighting - he looked about 300 years old in that last scene with Neil.) And I actually thought he looked great as Patch on Days just a year or two ago.

This show makes everyone look bad. That Foghorn Leghorn hair didn't help. It's sad because they've managed to make him seem ridiculous in a romantic or sexual setting. At least William Russ was not written that way and his Tucker seemed to genuinely care for Jill. This Tucker just seems like a bad combo of pathetic child and dirty old man.

Olivia won't have much of a impact first of all she too dark. Since they got rid of the girl who plays Rachel on OLTL. I believe these people can write for her. I mean she is lighter then CK & it doesn't hurt she knows how to act. Something CK lacks. Maybe I'll tune back into YR for ex Rachel girl.

      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.
    • 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!
    • Nordstrom's page for above AFRM Shailine dress that Chelsea wore, pink petal pattern/color https://www.nordstrom.com/s/shailene-print-long-sleeve-powermesh-midi-dress/8127521?origin=category-personalizedsort&color=683 Notice on that page there is a video, and the video shows a different color which is the color worn by Audra on Y&R in April 2025. Same exact dress, just different color pattern - organic rose. https://wornontv.net/509377/

    • I sometimes wonder if he’s even breathing.
    • 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.
