Members Cat Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nicholas is pretty much a ruined character for me, for all the reasons DeeeDee outlined in one of her posts. Having said that, I am glad they have steered Morrow away from both Sharon and Phyllis. Plus, I hate Jack more than Nick. He's such a self-righteous, purple-faced blowhard. I'm so relieved beyond the telling of it that Diane is being steered away from his antiseptic orbit. Maura has a charming, Marilyn Monroe quality about her, and I hate that her sex appeal has been wasted on the one lead actor on this show who fails to conjure up any sexual chemistry with anybody (except, maybe, Billy Miller). P.S.: I like maura when she has shorter hair -- but this is too short. A short bob, with longer bangs sweeping across her forehead would be perfect. Maura has a face made for that sort of 1920s/1930s flapper/starlet style. I am 100% in agreement with this. Engen will always be a definitive Adam for me, and his interpretation could have laid the groundwork for where Adam should have been taken as a character -- a snarky young anti-hero with this kernel of anger, rejection and vulnerability just below the surface. His scenes with Vail Bloom really highlighted some of Adam's humanity, too, and I totally rooted for him when Nick, Victoria et al ganged up against him. He was a scrapper and never took crap from them. He also had a very interesting, non-sexual dynamic with MTS... made me wonder how much Adam would have thawed if Nikki became an unlikely mother figure or confidante. Unfortunately, Y&R does not really invest in non-romantic pairings unless there is an agenda attached... I will give Muhney his due -- he has put a lot of water in his wine and toned down the mustache-twirling to look for some of the "shading" in Adam's character. He and Sharon Case play well off each other. And sticking it to those Newmans will always be a bonus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 How dorky can I be? How about sniffling in joy at seeing Beth Maitland and Maura in a scene together? I get why Abby rolled her eyes and grimaced during Tucker's overblown proposal. WTH is Jack's problem? I gotta admit, as much as I dislike Victor, I enjoyed him tormenting Adam and Sharon in jail.

Members lovely_m Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 In theory the 'Reed coming to see Victoria' miracle should be warm and fuzzy but it pisses me off. Victoria never gave a damn about Reed until the next plot driven scene told us that she did. It would be easy for her to get on a plane and see him or to skype him, but no it's more important that she whines trying to pull the heartstrings as Billy plays hero and finds a way for Reed to contact Victoria. I hope that this is the last rip off Christmas tale/ Emmy bait episode that ever gets made. The previous efforts had practically no effect other than getting CLB and BM emmy's.

Members BadZoe Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Is there ever a Christmas where Victor isn't playing poor pitiful me, my family has betrayed me and I can't forgive them to come together and celebrate crap? I'm so sick of it, he has to be the oldest baby in soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Keep Tucker feeling guilty, Abby! Loved how she rolled her eyes throughout the proposal. Love Traci and Abby interacting, too. Scrooge Victor is so obvious, but I don't think Eric Braeden will ever get nominated for an Emmy, no matter how many special SLs they throw at him.

Members Cheap21 Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Does she know that he cheated with Diane? If so why is she keeping quiet? Cant say I feel too bad for Ashley considering she cheated on Neil. And in that situation I didnt feel too bad for him bc he cheated on Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for reminding me why I loathe Dickens. So...if Vic turns nice, Vicki never has a daughter? I could live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 I feel like Hope should've been the one to take Victor to see Adam in jail...kind of common sense there...But I did enjoy the Victor/Nikki and Victor/Mom flashbacks.

Members BadZoe Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Gave me goosebumps and made me nauseous what a yucky show. Victor, please, keep on the path you are on if it means Sharon's beloved Husband Adam will be 6 feet under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 24, 2010 Members Share Posted December 24, 2010 Maria never should've addressed Victor FRAMING Adam for murder during his nightmare then dropped it when Victor tries to "redeem" himself. Victoria & Abby acting like they couldn't understand why Victor didn't want to be around them? Nick & Billy being all self righteous about Victor when they're pretty crappy fathers themselves? Nikki marrying Aunt Jack? If anyone it should've been Paul. Luke Kleintank is cute but can't act. Random Diane & Kyle? Tucker but no Katherine? Ghost Colleen? HATE.
