Y&R: Week of August 23, 2010

[lovely_m]

It would help if Victoria was acting like she wasn't having a midlife-crisis. The only person who brings up her strange behavior is her ex-husband and we see how he's treated.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I really cannot believe that this character is Victoria Newman. This is not the same character Bill Bell poured years of development into so that she could be the future of the show. Victoria, regardless of Amelia's crappy acting and bad styling, is written as such an afterthought and just as one of Billy's idiot whores. Shameful. This show should be ashamed.

[DRW50]

They probably think Victoria should be honored. What other purpose does a woman serve in Shefferland?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Y&R has the worst writing for women on daytime, and that's saying something. Not even on Guza's GH are women this vapid and one-dimensional.

[DeeeDee]

+1.

[DRW50]

So MAB ripped the Tucker/Ashley scene from Body Heat?

To compensate will they make Kathleen Turner the new Flo?

[OldSchoolSoapFan]

That went out the door when the powers that be realized that teenagers who don't even know what an "attention span" is are the only ones who watch soaps.

[bellcurve]

The only ones they WANT watching soaps. Nevertheless, I agree.

[Cheap21]

Im curious now, who did Giggly Whore (is that better than Heffa?), screw?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Deacon.

[shadow]

Deacon, and yes that is better

[Cheap21]

I thought she already had him a couple of weeks ago? Oh well, I havent been watchnig and they definetly arent what will entice me to look todays show up

[DRW50]

I saw that some at Daytime Confidential consider the Tucker/Ashley scene to be close to a rape. Do you think that's true?

If so I guess it's another on Sheffer's list. He has done this on all his soaps.

[Juliajms]

I can't agree with you. GH's women are written much, much worse as far as I'm concerned. Brenda, Carly, Sam and Liz have been treated to one humiliation after another. Y&R has never come close. It may be coming closer than it ever has before and I agree that it's unacceptable, but it's still no where near the level of GH or even B&B, imo.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I only see offensive deceptions of a woman on today's Y&R. They're all idiot losers who only live to be screwed by their men (Sharon, Phyllis, Ashley). Or they're somehow unworthy and considered un-sexy (Jill, Nikki).

Even GH and B&B do a better job at showcasing career women than Y&R does these days. At least you see Robin, Carly, Lisa, Liz, and Olivia at work sometimes. On B&B, Brooke and Stephanie are always at work too. On Y&R, you no longer see any depiction of a woman other than when she's screwing a man anymore.
