Y&R Discussion Week of June 14

Ashley don't do it! Please no.

Poor Neil never stood a chance, did he?

[Cat]

You and me both. Great scenes with Jill, Snapper and Greg -- and then she interrupts and starts shaking her press-on nail at Jill. "Now, Jill. Stop feeling surry for yourself. Pull yourself TUH-GEH-THUH!" For crissakes. Go bother Jana and Kevin, grandma. Jill is having a meltdown because her mother is ill and she has never felt so alone or cut off from her family -- and this old bat is playing the same old "Selfish Jill" song.

No. And you may not want to stay for the end of the episode.

[classicmoment]

To Y&R each story becomes a boring chess game most characters are pawns and the few obvious queens black knights etcetc that stay those consistent key figures in each arc. That would still make a story work if it didn't seems as if each story arc was a completely different game with different unclear uninteresting objectives which somehow manages by the end to be as relatively redundant as the previous game.

[lovely_m]

That's what I was referring to.

[alphanguy74]

No, I'm totally not referring to anything surgical. It's all wardrobe and hair. He's dressed and groomed like a homeless man! Hasselhoff seemed tipsy today. Anyone else notice this? He's dialed it back a bit, though... and today was much better. Today's scenes were better paced and better directed. I actually cried a little at the end. I'm stil wantin those flashbacks, DAMMIT.

[DRW50]

Now I just want to see when the show will start up a Fluckers/Abby affair.

I actually would rather see them pair Tucker and Heather, and they just sit around all day showing various characters their showreels from DAYS/GH/AMC, while those characters nod and say, "We know, we know. It's the writing. And the producing. And the hair and wardrobe..."

[lovely_m]

If they are worried about the Brenda/Jess issue, I think most fans would understand. They could say "I look so different back then".

[Cat]

Heck, 1980s Brenda looks like a totally different person compared to red-haired 1970s Brenda.

[alphanguy74]

I'm not talking about that, I'm saying we need Jeanne/Julianna flashbacks, and Hasselhoff/Julianna flashbacks. They should NEVER use a Brenda flashback at this point. But they don't *need* to use Jill flashbacks if they got Snapper/Greg/Kay ones.

[lovely_m]

They may not have enough time to have flashback because it could cut into the geriatric James Bond storyline.

[DRW50]

Considering they only bothered with one flashback when they brought Phillip back from the dead after 20 years, why would they use a flashback now. They're ashamed of their history anyway.

[MoTheGreat]

But that doesn't make Jill a Chancellor if Kay stay her mother. Because Kay name is only a Chancellor through marriage. MAB made an mistake.

[DeeeDee]

+1.

It's all coincidence.

Coincidence & Subterfuge.

[Cat]

Casino Royale -- without Daniel Craig.

[Khan]

Exactly.
