Y&R Discussion for week of June 28

[Eric83]

LMAO this show sucks so bad, no one bothered to start a thread.

What's going on with this show? I didnt catch Monday's episode, and have no intentions to watch it either.

[MoTheGreat]

Since nobody is in this thread yet. I thought I should mention DG gave an interview & it seems like he wants out of Lame.

[Cheap21]

why didnt anyone tell me that after Lynn Marie Latham was dropped from Y&R, she became an actress and went to Days? Why is the left side of her hair blue? When did putting odd colors in your hair become fashionable for women over 50? LML is a trendsetter

[LMTrema]

In an interview that DG gave he said that he would be connecting with a woman but that it would not be in a sexual nature. So Lane are not in trouble -

GO LANE !!!

[YRBB]

LMAO! And she was hoping to avoid detection. lol

Barf!!!

[MoTheGreat]

Lame can't be happy they be more boring then they already are. He's going to get close which would lead to them breaking up. He said that if something happens to CKLily. Who do we want him with. That sounds like he knows that Lame is not doing him any favors. Then he said He won't mind acting opposite of SC.

Is it necesary to have Phyllis obsess about Sharon on every f--king episode?

[sheilaforever]

Is it necessary to make Nick and/or the Phyllis the focus of every episode they're on???

Yet they do it. And the Fosters story lasted about two seconds... Talk about f*cked up.

[DeeeDee]

Nor did Liz even get Nadia's Theme or a Funeral.

And now Maria's

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.

[Soapsuds]

Liz and Hope arent dead. They are both lesbians and living in Aussieland with Phillip!

[DRW50]

And yet this still ends up with "oh look MAB is honoring history now/writing for vets now, that means the show is getting better now." It's all about trying to con viewers.

[DeeeDee]

Lope!

What's worse is viewers go along with it especially if the retcons "help" their favorite characters even at the expense of the show as a whole.

[DRW50]

Yeah I saw some of the comments elsewhere which were basically wow look at this Foster story, the show must be getting better. Or look Jill has something to do. And then in no time at all it turns into isn't Jill awful, how dare she do that to Lauren. Jill is written as a punching bag and a cheap plot device over and over yet a lot of fans don't seem to get that it's the writing, not her character.

[DeeeDee]

CBS needs to just cancel Y&R now & avoid its inevitable GL style demise.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

+1

And the show is apparently getting its budget slashed again. So, people can brag about how well Y&R is holding up in the ratings, but it obviously doesn't matter to CBS/Sony if they let the show carry on in such a disastrous creative state and slash its budget on top of it.

I don't think even cancellation is out of the picture, I give this show 4 years tops more on the air. CBS knows it can air a talk show or game show for much cheaper than the licensing fees they pay for Y&R and B&B. It doesn't matter if they're the #1 or #2 soap, they aren't profitable to CBS anymore, and CBS has no real incentive to keep them because they don't own them.
