Y&R- Week of August 16th

I watched the courtroom scenes with Jill, Lauren, and Joanna. It pissed me off more than anything, even though I like the actresses involved.

The way they constantly write Jill as some bitter idiot, and then have people like f.ucking Katherine, Lauren, and Michael talk down to her about her "morals." Um, sorry, who the f.uck are any of those people to pass judgment on her? Have they seen their own checkered past? And then having Jill at the end of the scene as some jolly schoolgirl telling Lauren in a non-bitchy way "No hard feelings." On top of that asking her lawyer out for a drink to be shut down and to be told, "I'll send you my bill!"

And could they dress Jess Walton more horrifically?

Making Jill Neil Fenmore's illegitimate daughter is the stupidest sh!t ever.

I woudln't say they were friendly, I would say they were "strained" and civil. I LOVED most things about the courtroom scenes, but like Alvin, I bristled at the fact that Jill can't just have a Victory and enjoy it.. they always have to slap her down with the other hand. This just reeks of Sheffer. I so wish we had Brenda at this juncture, Maria would be poppin Secanols like M&M's and Sheffer's balls would be on a platter.

Indeed.

For most of the time of her 80s run Joanna was just "there" after Jim Storm was written off. All she did was give advice to Lauren.

When Joanna had a liking for John which could have been nice nothing ever happened. The role wasn't half as b*tchy as it is now, although SSH had some catty scenes with Lauren Koslow/Lindsey.

At the Emmys people ask MM on his tweet account why his wife wasn't there with him.

A lot of people think SC is getting a divorce because she having an affair with MM. They always around each other. I have a feeling we'll be hearing about MM divorce after SC divorce is comfirm.

Nick can't be alone for 2 seconds. I always thought that Nick's non Phyllis/Sharon hookup would be Skye.

Cricket and Paul's makeout was pretty agressive and takes you back to their "rough sex".

Billy/Victoria are the new Phick. Mostly about sex and using sex to solve their problems.

They need to stop Nick needs to be completly redeveloped as a character, oh what am I saying I forgot who was scribing. They will never let Nick be alone, in their eyes what else is JM there for?

I feel sorry for the viewers who have to be subjected to same lack of substance with half the chemistry

So this is off topic, and since im still a couple days behind on Y&R I can't say anything on the show, but..

I just relocated to a new city, and as I was settling into my new home, I went to the Tivo to pre-record my shows/soaps, etc...Boy was I surprised when I saw that THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS airs at 4pm here! I have lived in four states, and 7 cities, and it has ALWAYS been at 1230 for me.

The even weirder part is that it's completely seperated from ALL other soaps. The lineup is:

130: The Bold and the Beautiful

2: As the World Turns

3: Let's Make a Deal

4: The Young and the Restless.

So when ATWT goes away there will be TWO HOURS between the two remaining CBS soaps here. It's so odd! Doesn't look good for B&B in this market!...Anyone else live in a funky market like that?

They could honor history and have Nick follow in his mother's stripper footsteps.

I feel sorry for their exes and Murphy. I don't think when Murphy sold his trailer to Billy he thought it become a brothel. While Billy and Victoria are having "sexy time" Mac is dealing with PPD while J.T. holds her hand.

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
