Y&R: Week of March 8 Discussion

[MoTheGreat]

I really don't mind TP just because he looks youbger then this Adam. & the people who play his siblings. His acting isn't all that great I heard so he'll fit right in with AH & JM.

[NorrthCafe]

LOL, those spumors

oh, it could happen, YnR fans.

[Khan]

What does THAT mean?

[bellcurve]

Michael Muhney wrote a post on some message board thanking the fans who, "didn't make it personal."

Heather has every right to be upset with Rafe. She shouldn't have to apologize for her reaction, especially considering how tame it was in comparison to what a woman in real life would do. For her to be all, "He used us both" is just nonsense. It would be a little different if Rafe didn't know Heather/Adam were a couple. But he knew that, smiled in her face, and still popped her boyfriend's collar. For her to be all apologetic and say, "I'm sorry for my reaction." WTF?! She was completely justified.

And what's with this alluding to "Why Adam did what he did" business? Are they gonna claim Adam was molested as a child or something?

I'm just so damn annoyed with this show.

I'm sorry, I can't take Phyllis seriously when she goes on about justice. Did Paul get justice when Phyllis ran him over with her car.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I wouldn't put it past them to write some lame child molestation story with Adam and blame that for why he turned out the way he did. Hope's dead, these hacks can definitely rewrite her as a neglectful and crappy mother, despite that not matching her personality AT ALL.

Never mind that Adam's molestation was never alluded to anyway, they'll try to do a half-assed 5 minute "redemption arc" by inserting it in there regardless. And as well all know, being molested causes you to gaslighting pregnant women, and switch babies.

I can just see MarkH rationalizing all this right now. LOL!

[bellcurve]

Wasn't he the one who pitched the whole "Adam was molested by Cliff" angle to justify why Adam was doing what he did?

And why was Adam meeting with that guy in that weird diner and then got completely put off by his son being there? I felt like it was some lame mix between Mulholland Drive and To Catch a Predator. Was there something I missed.

Of course Adam was molested as a child! That explains why he had sex with another man!

This reveal, coupled with "The Whole Town Rallies Together to Bring Down Adam" just screams of desperation. They think this is something so damn clever, but it comes off as so "Simpsons"-esque.

Kale Browne: The Role of Carly "Cassie Layne" Corinthos is now being played by Michelle Stafford.

This is one of the many reasons why Giggly Heffa should not have been made a focal point of this story AT ALL. But of course, they had to cram this character where she really didn't belong.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

And as I mentioned before, I wanted Heather to be this this somewhat homophobic bitch to Adam and Rafe whenever they came in contact. Too bad Rigel would never play that and too bad they'd never write that.

And again, Heather should have been the one closing in on Adam, not Phyllis. I guess they wanted Vail out long ago, or they just wanted to give the Giggly Heffa more airtime!

[lovely_m]

The problem with that is Adam comes off as sympathetic compared to some of those hypocrites. Jack conning Adam into doing the fake diary plan was the start of Adam's downhill spiral and Victor's talk with him in prison didn't help. The way Maria wrote why Adam would go along with Jack's plan was contrived. No matter how low Adam felt he would never have begged Nictoria for a job at Newman.

Phyllis nagging at Heather has done nothing but annoy me. Nick is the worst hero ever and Victoria just annoys.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

And the funny thing is before Cliff died, Victor visited Hope and Cliff and Adam and Cliff were close as could be, and Adam was supposedly this all-American Midwestern boy with the perfect life.

But of course, I could totally see this writing team throwing all that away.

He grew up thinking Cliff was his father, yet Cliff is never mentioned anymore. He'll be conveniently mentioned if they go the child molestation route, watch. It would so damn awful if they did that to poor old Cliff.

[dm.]

Of course. One word: agenda.

[lovely_m]

I thought that may have something to do with a redemption arc coming up after all this is done.

There's no ensemble cast: there's just four main actors and the little actors used to prop them up.
