Y&R: Discussion for the month of January

I cannot believe that when Maria started writing JILL finally became JILL again. But ever since that contract dispute/Sheffer's arrival Jill's is nothing but a sick joke and the writing worse (which says A LOT!) than under Jack Smith or LML when they tied her to Kay's hip. Bastards! All of them.

But yay for the WhoreHair. :)

I will always love Maura but its ridiculous they had her Diane pretty much stripping in front of old man Braeden. Pretty gross especially when you just know Braeden wanted this to keep fulfilling Victor's mojo.

I noticed Stafford and Phyllis today as well. Even weirder how in today's episode Phyllis now is a champion of Sharon's innocence. Stafford has been horrendous since Phick began and the Phelia crap but since West joined the show I'm sure its a nightmare now for her.

John and Jill were IT as far as I'm concerned. I always thought that, at some point, they'd find their way back to one another...and then implode once again. I found them such a compelling, layered, interesting couple.

The only way the Jill/Colin storyline could be salvaged in a way that benefits Jill is if Colin, even with his dastardly intentions, fell in love with Jill for real OR if Jill discovered Colin's wicked ways and then set out and successfully destroyed him. But the way it's going to develop is that Jill will be the idiot and Colin will hoodwink Jill.

Jill is a truly terrific character. She is a dynamic woman. One of the last strong women in daytime. What Sheffer has done to her is SICK.

But yes, yay for the whore hair! It hacks 15 years off her looks. Jess is beautiful, the long hair really enhances that.

Colin and Jill forever. :wub: Either separately or together. That is all.

And WhoreHairJill looks younger than when she had that Meg Ryan hair thing going on.

Jesus. If I have to sit through one more nausea-inducing flashback of that Daisy creature screaming her placenta out like a crazed hyena, I am going to consider getting my tubes tied.

What was with that weird scene with her visiting Sharon in jail?

Makes me wonder if Stafford told TPTB that she will not be renewing her contract when it is next up and they will be writing Phyllis down the road to Crazyville.

It's, like, when is this b!tch going to get the cuffs slapped on her? Then I'd like GC to throw a "Yay! Phyllis is in Jail!" parade through the corridors of the old pokey.

Did you see her "write" her "blog" about Sharon and then have an orgasm as she released it into the blogosphere? Even Billy Miller looked scared.

    • They just aired a montage of Marcus and Dahlia swimming, with music playing in the background singing "Skin to Skin", for 4 MINUTES.  No joke or exaggeration. 4 minutes of them swimming at nighttime, no dialogue, just swimming.  WTF.
    • It's giving Ashley as "type A" personality, while Derek is giving "type B" personality, and they're clashing.

    • I remember my late mom express passionate love of the show (being that we're Irish Americans and how Johnny and Maeve Ryan reminded her of her grandfather)... and that she viewed Jillian and Mary as role models. When the show ran on SoapNet years ago, I remember watching the early episodes and having debates with my mom over how strident and militant the show was... especially in regards to feminist issues.  And how I found Mary to be a hypocrite (she's a reporter... yet can't suss out that her father and brother are both toxic and controlling)... and Jillian to not be quite a good role model (yes, she's a lawyer.. but she's happily waiting for Frank to divorce Delia and then after the divorce.. waits for him to win elections as she silently waits on the sidelines). My mom did admit that in retrospect, she did find the show to be a bit strident and explained that it was the 70s and feminism was a huge passion for her and others like her.   And that was when I learned to view soaps without a modern day lens... and eventually I did find enjoyment on the show (and their St Patrick's day celebrations were always a fun tradition).
    • Pink is a good color with her blonde hair 
    •     In a video intetview, it was Richard Backus (Barry) who said Sarah told everyone off at her goodbye party.                                                                               On the Soapnet forum, it was Sean, the MemoryBook webmaster ( he also posts here)  who told us Sarah had been fired. Everyone on the board was shocked. For some reason noobody recalled that. In more recent years, it's been easier to find old press clippings that show that her dismissal was announced in newspapers and magazines.                                      Sean also told us that many of Sarah's castmates were not sorry to see her go. One of the columns about her firing in 1980 said that Sarah "raised the ire" of her co-workers.                                        On the SN board, we were told that Sarah would speak negatively about the show to the press. For example, she reportedly criticized the show for dumping the Pat/Nancy interfaith storyline.  The network didn't like Sarah speaking out like that

    • During Taggert Alan mentions Amanda as his "daughter" while that most likely is a writers slip up, I like to think it was a retcon. They never have Alex, on any of her frequent trips back mention Amanda as my sister, etc. I know they just want to forget it and Amanda was probematic in her marriage to Roger (i.e. MADD's decree that Roger will never be mentioned again..) Again, they could have easily brought her back with a handwave from Alex or Alan saying it was a trick from Brandon.   There is Amanda, AM and ALL the various offspring Phillip created. Plus head of family means head of Spaulding.   I would have thought it interesting if Phillip becomes more like Alan (but in the gray area he always was, not outright cartoon villain RR Alan) and AM comes back with more of his Bauer coming out and wanting to do things on the up and up..maybe AM became a lawyer like his grandfather in the missing years...and Amanda could play both sides against the other.  But also they could have brought someone like Kyle Sampson back to rival Phillip and the Spaulding (maybe Amanda married him) but then, of course there would be ANOTHER man horning after long in the tooth Reva!
