Y&R- SPOILER/SPUMOUR Legacy Character returning?


Recommended Posts

How do you think LML would have treated HT or her Victoria?

I think Rauch and Hogan would have destroyed her; strong female characters must pay.

The sad thing about this thread is that after last year I can't write anything off. I actually have to believe they might suddenly bring Brad back from the dead. Last year shows nothing is out of their realm of stupidity.

The character would still be Victoria & be the heart of that family but the sexism of the industry would NEVER let her be Braeden's successor. She also wouldn't get the story or opportunities Morrow did due to sexism but she wouldn't be treated like a glorified extra nor would she be totally removed from business stories & haphazardly given art as a patronizing consolation prize. She also wouldn't be playing constant support to Giggly Heffa.

Definitely.

You'd think that with years people would be open to newer things, that they would grow and learn. Instead, there's so much agenda going on at these daytime soaps that I just can't bare to watch it.

Exactly.

After 40 years of trying the same formulas with diminishing returns each time you'd think Daytime would remember it always thrives when it's progressive.

But to them it's easier to fail with what's "safe" than succeed with what's not.

Wow, they made the wrong choice. I like Paul but he stopped being interesting 20 years ago. He's as fun as stale melba toast. Brad knew how to mix it up, take on Victor, and is rather good looking. I've always considered Brad to be heir to the Victor thrown: Self-made, romantic, brutal.

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
