Y&R Discussion for week of November 22nd

[sheilaforever]

They both suck - not to Eden Riegel standards, but this is hard to accomplish anyway.

Thing is Goddard is sooo wodden he needs so. compelling to bring him alive in any way: Hogan better start writing them - Cane & Blake - some strip-poker Cowboy-action soon...

[Cat]

I wish LML would have kept Eric Steinberg instead of Goddard back when she was baking her insta-murder mystery involving Charmin' Carmen and David Hayward Chow TonySoprano.

I think I've figured out why I can't get into Villy/Filly/Bacteria/whatevs. Basically, it boils down to Miller being a really ANNOYING actor and Heinle being a really spaced-out one! Actually, it's the way Billy infantalizes FauxToria. I noticed yesterday when he picked little Delia up and brayed "GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE" into her ear (poor little thing must have a burst eardrum), he was using the exact same mannerisms and baby-talk he uses with Victoria. Like when he chased her and force-fed her with his "sweet taters" earlier in the episode, it was like he was interacting with a 9-year old. And FauxToria's tired, hungry little voice, weeping "I want a baby" just rams the point home.

I hate the whole crap that is adam/sharon/nick/phyilss they all need to be sucked into a wind tunnel:angry: the whole New Orleans is just a reharsh of the crap that was paris.

so is MAB and Co the head writers that Jamey giddens was talking about when he spoilered that they finally got the go head to do a supernatural storyline. the haunted house in new orleans:wacko:

I miss meggie too I loved the nikki/deacon/meggie combo but the writers screwed it up the moment EB got involved in the storyline. anybody who has ever watched the show always knows that victor always wins and always comes on top which is just boring and predictable and is crap.

[DeeeDee]

Meggie didn't die so if Sean Young wants she can always return.

Worked for Zima.

[BadZoe]

Cat, you are right, it is the baby talking that is the most off-putting of all. Sorry but mature adults don't behave that way and it just goes to prove my former theory that Y&R is written by morons for morons. Too bad I'm about to get 14 days off starting Monday so might watch the odd eppi if forget to make other plans.

I laughed at the Haunted House thing. Being someone who is open to the idea of ghosts but never having encountered one, having the landlady say that to me would send me running right back out the front door and looking for another hotel. Photographs you while you're sleeping, that's not only creepy its perverted.

[MoTheGreat]

So, what your telling me is that, they got rid of Auntie Jack just to add Adam. So, we're going to be stuck with confuse Sharon over the man that lied to her about her dead baby & Dickolas. None of these guys are good choices for Sharon.

[BadZoe]

Monday's show is simply delightful. Half of it is spent watching Sharon wandering aimlessly around the Big Easy. Such creativity is blowing my mind.

Maybe she'll steal from a witch and get cursed.

[P.J.]

Don't kill my buzz....I'm overwhelmed knowing Diane's finally going to be on.

I will say this---it's amazing to me that Sharon's built up as the "heart" of the show. The girl is beyond dumb.

[Mr. Vixen]

Did anyone else read the spoiler that

In all honesty, if this happens...I might have to stop watching this show. I just hate what it's become.

[DRW50]

[Mr. Vixen]

Yeah, Carl. I read it from you first, but when I researched it i found like 10 sites reporting it, so I thought it was safe enough to post it as a maybe-spoiler.

Anyway, it's horrible. Just horrible.

[Juliajms]

Wow. Just wow.

[juniorz1]

^^^ My thoughts exactly.

So we had a 3 week Maura & Meggie induced upswing and we're back to sh!t like this?

It has been PAINFUL to sit through this boring ass annoying show lately. Actors I really enjoyed on other soaps (Leyden, Riegel) are on every day & I can't stand either of them (in Leyden's defense, it's mainly bc his story is in the Cane/Lily/Sofia vortex of suck). Actors I hated on other soaps (Branson, Nichols) are either underwritten & underdeveloped characters that I rather like (Nichols) or playing yet another prick among pricks that I hate as much as Jonathan Crappery and yet two women are actually fighting over him! I wish Meggie would come back & withhold his medication.

The gravy scene- there are NO words. Sorry, Julia SUCKS as Sophia! And Darius as Malcolm? Oh, GOD, just TERRIBLE.

Malcolm (to Neil RE: Blake): I get a strange vibe from him.

Totally believe it if Shemar or (I'll continue to beat this drum) BORIS KODJOE were playing the part. But DARIUS? It's probably the fumes from the spoiled sandwich meat going to your head.

Why wasn't Devon there for Thanksgiving? Or did I blink when he was in the background? I don't even LIKE Devon, but if there were any Winters left that I'd actually believe got strange vibes from Blake, it's Devon. By a landslide.

I LOVE Maura West, but (shockingly! /sarcasm), they clearly didn't have a storyline planned for Diane. They made her broke & jobless? No. Sorry. Diane (as played by AD) was one of the most intelligent businesswomen ever to have graced The Young and the Misogynistic: Victor Wins Pt 57. No WAY is savvy Diane not only jobless, but broke, economy be damned.

I also LOVE GigglyKyle and LOVE that he gave it to GigglyHeffa. Dumping water on that laptop is exactly what immature Phyllis would have done had Diane been the one to write the article. Sigh. It still kills me though what could have been had Darcy Rose Byrne's still been playing Abby and these two giggly kids finding out they were test tube babies. A great umbrella storyline, though this regime would have made a mess of it anyway.

I love Sharon Case, but she's at her best when Sharon is "bitchy" or "off." Why do the writers insist on making her an IDIOT SLUT? And NO, you don't take Nick back, girl. NO, you don't boink ADAM(!), girl. You sleep with the man who stole your baby & the Dickolaus who pricks women even after the death of YOUR ONLY baby girl (at the time)? As Fantasia's mom would say, "Girrrrr lplease!"

Remember when Nikki was drinking, had a storyline, and went to rehab? Remember that? I wouldn't have been all for it had I known that all it was going to amount to was an excuse for her not to be in any scenes. [Carolyn Hinsey] Let's all play the drinking game every time someone mentions Nikki not being able to be somewhere because she's in rehab! [/Carolyn Hinsey]

Jack has so many revenge schemes in the air that we're to believe he's dumb enough to gloat to Victor about the confiscated files? And then he's SHOCKED that Victor double-crossed him? Having watched this show for 18 years and knowing their history- DUH! Jack. Is. Not. This. Dumb.

What's with his sudden interest in Skye? She's the "best businesswoman he's ever seen?" I mean, I love Skye as much as the next homo, but let's be honest, she's a high stakes poker playing con artist. Ironically, I've been seeing lots in the news lately about hedge funds and their relation to insider trading.

I could go on and on. So I will. WARNING: This post is achieving PhoenixRising levels, in terms of longevity of course, not positivity.

Yvonne Zima's Daisy is a creep. But she's a WEAK one, at best. I never believed she had the smarts or strength to keep Lauren or Jana locked up all that time. But watching Lauren FLIPPING out over this total nonentity is just......insulting. Lauren is supposed to be a bitch, not a stupid bitch. She took on Sheila Carter, like 6 times. Even SHEILA didn't freak her out this much. It's preposterous! The only thing this storyline is doing is giving Jana a purpose.

Michael Graziadei- shave yourself, wash your hair, comb your hair- are you shooting up with Heinle in the dressing room? Ok, that's an extreme statement for even my taste, but they're both a mess. And wardrobe is dressing him like something out of the Salvation Army. Memo to wardrobe: MAB is penning a story with he & DAISY not DAYZEE. Sheesh.

I almost forgot the Fisher-Baldwin-Jeffreys.

Michael......is only there because CLB has 2 days on doughnut rotation.

Gloria......is only there to show that even with a character who could literally DO ANYTHING, MAB & Co will find a way for them to do nothing. But keep them anyway. It's their M.O.

Kevin.......You ARE Ducky. You ARE boring. I do HATE you. The only storyline I'd enjoy seeing you in is a Tom Fisher's cousing coming to town and selling "Team Tom Fisher" t-shirts with Roscoe Born's mustache smirk on the back and seeing all of the t-shirts around town drives you crazy and you kill Cane, NotLily, Jana, Gloria, Jeffrey, NotHeather, Ronin, Daisy, Michael, Fenn, Sophia, NotMalcolm, NotBilly, NotVictoria, and Blake is the one who stops you and orders the cattle to stomp all over you in Australia. It would be FAR more entertaining than what's on my screen.

Jeffrey........perfectly entertaining, but we never see you and I don't care what you're doing with Jimmy Berluti from The Practice. Just go away.

Eric Braeden- STOP TRYING TO WRITE THE SHOW! YOU KILLED THE BEST STORY THE SHOW HAD GOING THAT COULD HAVE GONE ON FOR YEARS WITH AN ACTRESS YOU SUPPOSEDLY RESPECT AND ADMIRE AND HELPED TO GET THE FREAKING JOB! Just, no.

Need an attorney to do your dirty work, but your opponent has already hired Michael Baldwin? Don't fret! Don't grab the yellow pages! Just hire VANCE ABRAMS, dirty attorney at law. WARNING: He requires that his litigants hold cue cards for him during trial.

Eileen Davidson, you look smashing and are about the best thing about the show, which is probably why we never see you anymore. Ashley, where art thou?

I threatened to quit watching when the show was trying to dump Jess Walton & Jill. I may as well have because she literally does nothing.

I hate you Y&R for getting good for 3 weeks and throwing it all to hell and most of all, for causing me to post my most nonsensical post of all time because of all the terrible, wretched thoughts that go through my head when I try to think of why I hate and am bored to pieces by everything on my screen. And now I'm writing run-on sentences!

F-U-C-K YOU MAB & CO!
