Yeah I'm sure the deluded writers trying hard to paint this picture of Billy pushed this agenda. Disgracefully and in poor taste

Hugh does give a lot of money to help California...Billy doesn't give anything but the clap.

The musical score in Nikki's original storyline is incredible. Too bad YR has done away with it. It's numbers like those that packed that emotional punch with the characters, defined YR and set it apart from the rest.

As unpopular as this opinion is for those who think the writing is everything... I always have and still think the background score and lighting is what MADE this show.

Oh undoubtedly--and that was what seperated Y&R from the pack when it premiered as well (unfortunately that did have some negative aftereffect--like soaps in general hiring models over actors, etc).

Background scores always sets the tone. Writing is key yes, but you can have a craptastic scene and once the background music sets the scene is always elevated to a whole other level. Try editing that scene without music and/or use the generic one YR currently uses and the scene falls flat. YR's scores were always superb, especially the one showcased in the OP. GH had a few that were gold that they also played during emotional scenes typically when the characters were on the docks. It was almost haunting and fantastic but they completely stopped using it. Damn shame.

Poor Devon, Noah's going to get a singing career before him.

Wow they have made Abby such a ditz now, at one point I thought child Abby was smarter than both Nick and Victoria

I'm starting to feel sorry for Abby, Victoria has pretty much rolled over Abby to take over the lawsuit. I pains me to say this but I may be on Victor's side on this one.

Oh I am certainly in agreement with you. Whoever decided to do away with all those beautiful, dramatic, bold scores should be shot.

Well, they didn't do away with them completely.. but they certainly don't use them nearly enough. I was stunned as all hell to hear them use one of the 70's pieces in Victoria's wedding episode. And it's one I haven't heard in 20 years (at:47)

But they certainly don't use score in general nearly as much as they need to be.

Damn. Who killed poor little Lambchop so that Chloe could have a mutton poncho?!

Team Abby for this lawsuit. Victoria may have taken charge of it, but Victor is still a greedy prick and an !@#$%^&*].

I don't really care who wins that lawsuit, but anyone who has the balls to take on TGVN deserves to win.

Does anyone else want to giggle anytime anyone brings up Sharon giving Adam "a ride"?

  • Member

*sighs* at two higher ups looking intimidated by Victor, yeah right. Wouldn't it be known to have law enforcement on stand by to haul his a$$. Hate watching Victor Newman for the slighted writing of him and his

  • Member

This characterization of Sharon has me nothing but disliking her at this point. Could not like her anymore if I tried...... next...
