Y&R- Week of November 15th DISCUSSION

[juniorz1]

I thought about sub-naming this thread "The SON Ghost Town"

Let's discuss this week's episodes, shall we?

A clip from better times....

I think everyone needs to realize that MW was a mistake as Diane, and see if they can get AD back. MW is playing trashy Carly from the beginning of her ATWT days all over again. While Maura is talented, very, she is not Diane

at all!

Even if TIIC decide Maura "was a mistake", there's no way they're going to ask AD back. If they wanted AD back, they wouldn't have recast Diane with Susan Walters years ago.

[Khan]

Yeah, I agree, P.J. There's no way AD is coming back to Y&R under any circumstances.

Wow. I *love* Maura as Diane! In fact, she is my new favorite vixeny "heroine" on the show -- and yes, I do consider her a heroine in the sense that she has been put-upon and kicked around by a couple of choice GC individuals, is in dire straits in terms of finding a job and supporting Kyle and herself, but she is really coming across as plucky. I also find it hilarious how spooked "The" Stafford is in her scenes with West. It leads to the most desperate, over-the-top acting, all hands waving in the air and RILY ANNOYIN DICSHUN -- in sharp contrast to Maura's clear, uncomplicated delivery. When Diane snarled at Phyllis about hoping that Summer never got to find out about the questionable things Phyllis had done in her lifetime, I just about stood up and cheered.

And I must laugh at the Y&R threads being a ghost-town at the moment. Why weren't they a ghost-town during the excrement that was the Sarah Smythe/abandoned fairground SL which went forever and is probably Y&R's worst SL ever, outshitting even Out of our Asses? Y&R isn't nearly as bad as that right now. It ain't great, but it's ok in places.

One thing that is pretty stinky though -- the Shick reunion. Talk about fast. Nick did an epic shrug when he got the divorce papers from Phyllis, grunted at Sharon to skip breakfast and throw on some black underwear, then decided that marriage would be a logical next step. Sharon came across as equally bimbo -- Hmmm, don't know whether I love you the same way, but we might as well [!@#$%^&*] while I think about it. Sharon and Nick really do not have an ounce of chemistry left, do they? I personally think Sharon & Adam do, but I'll probably be shouted down by a chorus of miffed Shick fans. IMO, Nick is utterly ruined as a character -- he is the human equivalent of a penis, proposing marriage wherever his boner will take him just so he can get a legal lock on unlimited shagging. And "ruined" is saying something when BimboSharon is pining for the psycho brother-in-law who stole her baby.

[P.J.]

I can't say, but the only story that grabbed my interest aside from Diane's return was the lawsuit, and that disappeared a couple of weeks ago.

[Sylph]

I dreaded this. I dread this. And it happened.

Is the horse Tucker got Abby hush money?

Granted I feel a little bad for Abby, but it is stupid that she and Victoria would expect Victor to wish her a happy birthday when they are suing him.

[P.J.]

Ronan: There's an airtight case. Meggie will be locked up for a long, long time.

Or until the next sweeps, when she'll show up knocked up and claiming Victor's vasectomy failed again.

[DeeeDee]

Kimberlin back by Feb sweeps.

Watch.

[Cat]

Daisy (to rocking baby): Like, oh mah gud. Luk, lil baybee. Grandma bear iz gonna tek real good care uv uzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

That'll be the promo. Watch.

[ChitHappens]

ROTFLMAO! Too funny!

Just when Y&R was starting to get back on track, they threw Daisy back. Ugh, I don't know what they see in her!

[Saving ATWT]

AGREED! Diane is trash early day Carly as opposed to trash 'I love G-Man and my 20 kids' Carly. MW is great as a character actor. ATWT was her first gig, Carly her first and only character and Diane is just more of the same. Y&R should have just done this right and bought the Carly character from PGP if they wanted all this mess. (Personally, I would have rather seen Emily (KMH) play Diane). Carly marked the end of the World and I hope Y&R doesn't over use the character.

I would love a Shiela return for Feb sweeps!! Personally, I sort of like Daisy don't mind the creepy actress. I just hope the extend Sheila's stay as opposed to wrapping things up quick as they did wth Meggie and Sarah. The Adam steals baby story wasn't the best but I loved how it took months to develop and unfold.

Nick the dick is a penis with ears but quickly devolving into a dildo without batteries.

[P.J.]

C'mon...as if there was ever a serious chance of Diane overrunning the show. FCOL, this is Y&R. So far all Diane's return has done is give Michelle Stafford a license to chew scenery.
