June 3, 201015 yr Member So the show ridiculously wastes money to pay for onetime cheap sets like the cornfield, church cemetery, movie theater etc. But the show refuses to pay JW, MTS, TC etc. Sean Young aside, once must wonder if Lauralee owns MAB a favor.
June 3, 201015 yr Member Please tell me I misheard. Please tell me one-third of the cast did NOT go traipsing off to dig up somebody's grave.
June 3, 201015 yr Member Well, isn't this the same show that had most of the cast dig up a friggin' dumpster a few months ago, including Katherine friggin' Chancellor?!?
June 3, 201015 yr Author Member Well, isn't this the same show that had most of the cast dig up a friggin' dumpster a few months ago, including Katherine friggin' Chancellor?!? For Phyllis and Daniel. Now people are going digging up someone's grave for Nick, ew.
June 3, 201015 yr Member Gawd. It's true. They did dig up a grave. Some people on that writing staff need to seek professional help. Or God. Or both.
June 3, 201015 yr Member I remember when Dark Shadows first dug up graves and at least they had other characters talk about how awful this was. All the characters who did that ended up suffering horrible fates. I hope the same is true for these characters... You'd think if anyone would dig up a grave it would be Vamptoria.
June 3, 201015 yr Member Today's show was actual comedy. Adam was 29, lol, married to 39 year old Sharon? I haven't laughed so hard as I did when the spray plane flew over head and Sharon ran into the corn field. That woman doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. How is there a grave? I thought Victor tossed the body from a plane?
June 3, 201015 yr Member I had to laugh at Adam's age also. Victor, Nick and Jack digging up the grave was just as ridiculous as the sisterwives traipsing through the cornfield in the middle of the night. But I did really like the scenes between Emily, Lauren and Michael. I thought the writing and acting was spot on. Emily needs to connect with characters other than Jack and while Emily was able to give Lauren some perspective I think it also helped Emily to talk things over with Lauren and Michael, two people who understand what she is going through. Jack is trying to be helpful, but he pushes too hard and how can Emily turn to Jack when he is such a big part of the problem? I thought the contract of how the two husband's handled their wive's doppelgangers was interesting and although some may not like Lauren with Michael, I think they really make the most believable couple on the show. Hopefully, they can move Lauren away from her PTSD now and based on spoilers it seems she will be involved (not romantically) with another character's story soon.
June 3, 201015 yr Member I think the show is good lately, and I know I will get a LOT of [!@#$%^&*] for saying that. I personally only watch GH and Y&R on a day to day basis now. Everything else bores me. B&B I watch 3 times a week at most, OLTL 2 or 3, All My Children I either watch like 1 or then Ill just watch everyday one week..just depends for that show. DAYS, 2 or 3 times a week, but im gonna be an every day viewer again with all the Alics stuff coming up. So for me, Y&R is good enough to keep me watching everyday. Not just because of storylines, but because sometimes you have to just LAUGH at the ridicculous storylines, and accept that they're gonna keep coming no matter how much we yell about them. And yeah, did't Victor toss the casket out of a plane? How did it just land in that grave? Edited June 3, 201015 yr by SoapBoy94
June 4, 201015 yr Member I think the show is good lately, and I know I will get a LOT of [!@#$%^&*] for saying that. Not from me. Granted, I don't agree at all that Y&R is good right now, but I'm glad someone is enjoying it. As Jana would say, I just wish I felt the same. :-(
June 4, 201015 yr Member .............. How is there a grave? I thought Victor tossed the body from a plane? ........................... And yeah, did't Victor toss the casket out of a plane? How did it just land in that grave? When TGVN pushed (not threw) that coffin off the plane it was still on the tarmac. If he'd open the cargo door while the plane was in flight both he and Nikki would have been sucked out . The question that I have is this --- even sitting on the tarmac there is some distance between the ground and the plane, so how did a badly burned body not suffer more damage when it fell. The DA has thrown alot of things up in Victors face , I can't imagine how he missed mentioning the damaged coffin and body on the tarmac.
June 4, 201015 yr Member Not from me. Granted, I don't agree at all that Y&R is good right now, but I'm glad someone is enjoying it. As Jana would say, I just wish I felt the same. :-( I'm not saying it's all great either. But I have to say I am kind of enjoying this Adam storyline. And it is far more interesting then all the Patty/Emily Sarah/Lauren. THAT is when I thought the show was absoultely wretchedly horrid. So compared to that, I think the show is on an upward turn. But yeah it is far from great. When TGVN pushed (not threw) that coffin off the plane it was still on the tarmac.

June 4, 201015 yr Member When TGVN pushed (not threw) that coffin off the plane it was still on the tarmac. If he'd open the cargo door while the plane was in flight both he and Nikki would have been sucked out. And that would have been terrible for Victor and Nikki because...? ;-P

THAT is when I thought the show was absoultely wretchedly horrid. So compared to that, I think the show is on an upward turn. My major problem w/ Y&R these days, more than questionable recasts or plot twists, is just how generally dark and depressing it has become (and if Khan thinks something is "too dark," look out, lol!). People on this show are becoming increasingly nasty and mean-spirited toward each other; not one genuine virtue about the human condition, IMO, is being celebrated or aspired to. Not that I'm saying Y&R was all fun and games when Papa Bell was in charge. But that's just it: Bill Bell's Y&R was fun to watch, no matter how...melodramatic stories and/or performances could become. Now, though, you come away from an average episode feeling not joyous, but rather negatively toward life, which I don't think a soap opera is supposed to do. Honestly, it isn't that I question whether Hogan Sheffer enjoys writing for soaps; it's that I question whether he needs to seek professional counseling. Because, in one way or another, his stories always come across (to me) as cries for help. Edited June 4, 201015 yr by Khan
