Y&R Discussion for the week of April 5th

[dm.]

I'm thinking the US April 8/CND April 7 episode will reveal most of the mystery. (even the end of US April 7)

[classicmoment]

watching this scene bewteen Miller and Heinle shows me pure amateurism from classic Y&R standard, seriously why does Miller get so much screen time?r these people trying to engage me

[soapfan770]

We would get a "he stalked Lauren and faked his death because he's gay" angle out of that.

[DRW50]

Shawn Garrett got plastic surgery and became Terrible Tom.

[BadZoe]

There is only one Sheila who can strike fear in the hearts of millions and that is Kimberlin Brown's, Sheila. Everyone else is a joke.

Nina is such a HYPOCRITE.

[DRW50]

Even Sheila hasn't worked as a character in over ten years.

They can try to trash Nina to prop Chloe, as so many others have been damaged to prop Chloe, but it doesn't work for me. She is a very empty character.

[soapfan770]

Nina becoming the new Jill would be excellent if I cared more and if better people were behind the show.

About Sheila I don't understand about Sheila being so islanded and wanting to haunt Lauren. Theoretically, read my sig. With Taylor alive and well and what not Sheila should be out in the spotlight with a fresh perspective (like her move to LA) lusting after and devilishly possessing men like she did with Scotty, Eric, James, etc. She really has no real need to deal with Lauren, she didn't for years when they lived in LA unless they crossed paths. THAT is what made her so dangerous in the first place aside from having a bad attitude. It's why her 2002 return on B&B was the only one that worked because it stayed true to her nature.

[DeeeDee]

Amen.

The number of characters thrown under the bus for her useless ass is ridiculous.

EXACTLY!

[Mr. Vixen]

TOday's episode was great.

Is Kimberlin Brown actually returning to the show or is this going to be a disaster of a story where we never actually see Sheila?

[catsmeouch]

Having seen today's Canadian episode, I am convinced the Lauren lookalike is a red herring and Kimberlin will return to our screens in May.

[Juliajms]

Chloe is a huge waste of a talented actress. Chloe/Chance have to be the most boring soap couple in recent history. I wish they would find a way to save this character, but it's not looking good.

[BadZoe]

I'd hope so but KB would be wasted with this current regime that can't write normal characters, let alone complicated psychos.

[DRW50]

Mistake #1 was the staged rape of Cane. Mistake #2 was making her Esther's daughter, which other than a weird attempt at making us pity Chloe (the maid's daughter, in boarding school, boo hoo) which didn't quite work, went nowhere. Mistake #3 was completely cutting her ties to Cane and Lily (I know a lot of people hated that story but it had been built up for almost a year and she wouldn't have been so islanded) and investing so much of her character in Billy, as that relationship never went anywhere anyway and made her look pathetic. Mistake #4 was putting her with Chance without actually having a story for them. I see no storyline and I have not for a long time. A storyline is not wow, Chance isn't going to put out, oh, and by the way, Chloe's awesome.

I also don't know if audience response to this character has ever been what they expected, which may be why they're doing the stunt casting with Eden.

[catsmeouch]

No, making Chloe Kate Valentine was a fantastic idea. It connected her to the Chancellors and explained just what happened to Esther's daughter. I don't think anyone was supposed to feel sorry for the maid's daughter---in fact, we were supposed to dislike her for treating her mother so poorly.

[BadZoe]

Esther deserves to be treared like [!@#$%^&*] for abandoning her daughter for an old bitch. The problem is the writing, everyone sucks not just Chloe. Name me one interesting character.
