Y&R Discussion For the Week May 10

[soapfan770]

I don't about Evans on OLTL as I saw more of her on Passions, but I wonder if she would have ever left had she not been tormented in her personal life by a stalker. If I recall right, that's why she was MIA for nine years before resurfacing as Tawny on B&B in '99.

She left OLTL for the first time and went to California/star on Y&R as PATTY WILLIAMS no less to escape her stalker; and later went back to OLTL before fizzling in the 90s. Evans might have been great on Passions but even as someone who never saw her as Tina, I totally identify with her with that role because everyone mentioned her and the role of Tina even 15 years after leaving OLTL...

[DaytimeFan]

When have I ever said I was a Passions hater?

Don't assume things my dear, you're making spectacle of yourself and it isn't a flattering light on you.

What the hell is the point of having main characters be detectives? Tptb make them look like idiots.

If Victoria 10 years ago saw what she has become today she would cry. It's strange seeing Billy and Victoria talk about children they rarely see.

Why can't they say that Victor took advantage of Patty?

[DeeeDee]

She would hit herself in the head with another foam brick.

What's with the matching black tanks on Billy and Victor?

Dear God in Heaven!

Jesus take the wheel!

I have wondered if EB has it in his contract that Victor is never to be held accountable for the rotten things he's done. I wish he'd never come back. I am so sick of seeing a big bully who never learns from his awful deeds, never grows as a character, and is regarded as some kind of hero in spite of them.

I hope that poor little baby playing Cordelia eventually grows some hair. They should put a hat on her.

JT is terrible taking a child away from a stay away mom.

God forbid Andrea Evans were to die tomorrow, but if she did, do you think the media's going to lead with, "Legendary Passions actress Andrea Evans died today..."? No. More than likely, they're going to say, "Andrea Evans, whom most '80's soap fans remember as Tina Lord Roberts on OLTL...."

And that's all I have to say about that.

[DRW50]

I think they will go with Andrea Evans, who once played a role later mastered by goddess of all space and time, Stacy Haiduk, and her special friends Transgender Kitty and Stringy Blonde Mop Last Seen On David Lee Roth.

[catsmeouch]

She'd be mentioned for both Passions and OLTL. Passions is the last major role she played (her four-month return as Tina does not count), and she made quite an impression on Passions and its fans. Passions introduced Andrea to younger, new fans. People who want her to be remembered more for Tina are stuck in the 80s.

[Khan]

For once, I'm in agreement w/ "Khloe": when will Billy Abbott stop being the wannabe lothario and bad boy? Terry Lester's "Smilin' Jack" got away with that stuff, b/c he was actually charming. Billy Miller's Billy, OTOH, just comes off like the "A.V. nerd" in high school who's pretending to be cool. There's nothing even remotely suave or sophisticated about that neo maxi zoom dweebie (tm John Bender).

[catsmeouch]

Billy is charming, charismatic, and hot. There's nothing nerdy about him. That being said, he's being wasted in a story with VictWHOREia. If they had tried this romance with Heather and David Tom in the roles, it would've been more compelling and groundbreaking.
