Discuss the show formerly known as The Young and the Restless...or not.

"Phillip, I know you're gay! That's OK. I'm just going to lean against this table...and then..."

"Wait. You want me to put what where in your what?? No! I don't do that. I'm a red-blooded American male! I'm straighter than George Michael!!"

"C'mon, Phillip. Just look at her. Why not give it a try? Or we could just go watch Top Gun again..."

The spooky thing is that I actually remember that ad in our TV Guide. It looked like the cover of those Sweet Dreams/Sweet Valley High young adult romances I used to devour. I think it prompted me to watch Y&R for the very first time.

OK. That was in 1987. Time to go book my botox appointment.

So what ya'll telling me nothnig happen on Y&R.

Having no experience in motherhood or in switched at birth I have to ask a question. Is it really difficult for a 6 month old to get adjusted to having Shick as parents? I would imagine it would be harder for someone who is older, because I can't see a 6 month old remembering switching parents. This screams like the writers needing an excuse to prolong the Shick vs. Phick wars.

Good thing Chloe didn't marry Chance. Her last two marriages wasn't exactly a fairy tale. At least one female isn't marriage crazy and she seems to have taken the logical way.

If this masquerading as Emily doesn't go as well as she thought, maybe Patty should try to ruin Emily's life as much as possible then switch back.

The Twilight Zone's theme song needs to be playing for every Jack/Pemily scene. Especially when he's realizing that Emily isn't herself.

I can imagine people finding Billy/Victoria hot during the beginning or just sex stage, but when it comes to being in an actual relationship we'll get all the complaints back. "Victoria is sucking the life out of Billy" or "They're wasting Billy on Amelia."

Hopefully Victoria didn't mean Reed when she said she was mentioning 'wasting her life away'.

[DRW50]

People are already saying that.

I think they should have

if they wanted Billy/Newman drama. Billy isn't that hot to me at the best of times and with Victoria, it's like seeing one of those movies where nuclear war survivors get horny because they have nothing left.

[Eric83]

Billy/Victoria is so funny considering that the former actors in the role are brother & sister.

[MoTheGreat]

Don't he think Abby his niece.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It's really sad how badly reduced the Victoria character has become. If she were written in character, she would never go for someone like Billy, who really isn't a character anymore anyway, just another one of the boring caricatures on this horrible show.

In the middle of this storyline we'll hear an announcement "Heather and David Tom reprise their roles as Victoria Newman and Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless". God how weird that would be.

[DRW50]

That would just make it more forbidden, like the great writing they gave Rebecca and Justin on Brothers & Sisters.

"She's so hot but she's my sister."

"Well...actually she isn't."

"Oh yeah, I'm so in there!"

[lovely_m]

The only way I could see Victoria with JT/Billy is if they're her boy toys and not boyfriends.

[DRW50]

I think that would be a great idea. It's a shame they write Victoria as so pathetically immature. She is a reactionary brat on her better days.

[lovely_m]

I know. Apparently she's going to be pulling a Sharon

[MoTheGreat]

Does that mean she's going to be pregnant again?
