Y&R: Discussion for the month of January

[Chris B]

It was a shame seeing just how thankless Melissa Hayden's role was. I was hoping for more, but instead it's just a rip off of her biggest GL story. Great.

[P.J.]

I wish someone would tell Sharon STFU. The woman is clearly delusional, calling Nick out and saying Faith would "hate" him from keeping her from her mother---when her mother is shacking up in a ratty motel with HER KIDNAPPER.

And what pisses me off is that I just know this custody thing will all boil down to Vic's plotting against Adam, when that's not the issue at all.

[DeeeDee]

Adam is getting Y&R's Kevin Fisher/Daniel Romalotti "redemption" plot.

Go to jail for something he didn't do, be championed by an OOC woman & become a self serving martyr.

Have you guys seen the latest cover to SoW? It highlights what a mess Sharon is these days and acknowledge that her steady decline has been going on for years

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Wow, is this the first time one of the rags have criticized the writing of a soap/character in a while? It seemed like they stopped calling out the soaps years ago.

Y&R deserves it...

[Soapsuds]

Did she appear already??

I don't read SOW anymore. The art covers as of late have looked so generic.

[Cheap21]

Im surprised they went as far back as the Cameron and Diego stuff bc that happened years ago. Im interested in hearing what the article says and what Sharon Case's response is. Ive always been a fan of the character but I find her so hard to watch these days bc the writing for her is ridiculous and she's turned into such a stupid slut with dumb decision after the other. Yet, she's still supposed to be the show's heroine. Love that SoW is calling Y&R out on it

[P.J.]

Yep...I would hope there's another eppy with her, but it's iffy.

I haven't read the article, and I don't blame SC if she's tired of the Perils of Pauline stories. However, TIIC are writing stories her ass can't cash. I think she's a horrible actress. TIIC may regret having Sharin' do her daughter's kidnapper. There are lines that just can't be uncrossed. IIC always think any controversy is good. That's just not the case. If it was, GL and Jammy would still be on the air.

Worse things than terrorizing a mentally unstable, pregnant woman, causing her to fall down the stairs, throwing her fetus into the fireplace, and having her examined by a gyno who rapes his patients?

Doesn't Sharon Case ever wonder if it's good for her character to constantly be defined by a man? That means she can, and probably will, be replaced.

[P.J.]

Wow...I know actors have to defend their characters POV, but DAYUM, that is just messed up. Yes, a few characters have done stuff that's on par with Adam's villiany, but for the most part, they're dead or in the looney bin. People owe her and Adam an apology?? OMG. I doubt Adam's ever apologize to anyone other than her, and that was to get in her pants. And I don't see why Nick or anyone else should simply wait for her to get her head screwed on straight.

Adam not only separated Sharin' from her daughter, he plotted to separate Nick from his other two children by framing him for murder. DUH.

[lovely_m]

I'm guessing that the "everybody in that town has done far worse things than Adam has done" isn't suppose to be literal. Like when a teenager says "but everyone's doing it".

It's sad that what happened to Ashley has been swept under the rug. Kind of like how Kevin (statutory) raped Lily and hired Alex to attack her yet people only care about Colleen until Adrianne played her.

[Taiah]

Damn SC loves her pairing so much she can't even be objective. Its not about how many other wrongdoers there are in GC or this frame up, Adam stole your character's baby after he got another one killed. That should be an issue no matter what. Girl bye. Hell I like Shadam but even I know Sharon looks a mess being with Adam.

[DRW50]

It makes the character look like a damn fool. Have you noticed that you hear less and less people say that being with Adam will make Sharon "stronger"? That's because Adam, like all of the show's main men, will never tolerate a strong woman. The whole premise of this relationship would go out the window. Sharon is a birdbrain who lives to show everyone his goodness. Of course he isn't actually good, because that would be boring in the show's mind, but he was falsely accused of something, so who cares about what he actually did? This is the same type of rotgut story they wrote for Victor with that forged diary a few years ago.

It's just more of the usual throwing crap against a wall. They burned through "Shick" and "Phick" so now, because of the heavy promotion of "Shadam" by the actors and the interest from some of the fans, they are pushing this, but it's as empty as anything else.

Relationships are not interesting without a strong woman, and those are anathema on Y&R. Sharon can only ever be weak with Adam, and yet that means Adam will use and discard her soon enough, because on Y&R, a man is not a man unless he uses and dumps women. If they do stay together the only story will probably be Sharon becoming obsessed with a Shadam baby.

I don't think I've seen your posts before. Who are your favorites at the moment?

At the moment, I have none.
