Y&R: Discussion for the month of January

Okay, so I was two days behind and I'm catching up. I'm halfway through today's.

Have to say, I really, really like Sofia a lot. Julia Pace Mitchell seemed so uncomfortable in the beginning, but she's really come into her own and was good in those scenes today. I'm glad they use her pretty frequently, and I hope this storyline keeps going.

GO Ashley! Damn, I'd love to see her and Nick team up and try to get shared custody of Faith! Hallelujah, that would make my LIFE.

Sharon had the goddamn ballsy nerve to say "This is none of your business." Bitch, PLEASE!

Not gonna lie, i am sort of looking forward to Mondays show, since they showed Katherine slapping Jill during the previews. How many times has that happen ever the years? the one other time i have seen Jill get slapped by Katherine was before they started fighting in the attic.

If this show had a LICK of sense, they'd snap up Kyle Lowder and bring Rick Forrester over to resume his romance with Ash. Yes, I know KL generally sucks, but Rick and Ash were HOT.

*giggling at their smush name...RAsh*

Oh please don't give them any ideas. I cringe at the thought of Kyle Lowder, Jeff Branson, Eden Riegel, Julia Pace Mitchell, Darius McCrary, Amelia Heinle, and Billy Miller in a scene all together.

What this show needs more of is that other "Kyle"- GigglyKyle, the best damn character on the show. THIS lil guy:

For the first time I actually find the Cane/Lily/Winters story mildly interesting. Finally seeing the St. Cane of Latham going down is part of it but the other part is Colin and Jill are so fun. Too bad we don't see Jill slapping old St. Katherine around either. Its funny she brought up Murphy who of course didn't even tell Katherine about his son, secret family, Meggie etc. Actually, watching Sophia tell NotMalcolm off was funny too.

It's really hard to buy into Lily's pain when she has to utter ridiculousness like "when he told me he wasn't Phillip---I forgave him."

I don't know what was (unintentionally) funnier---Malcolm's "Peace!" caio to Sophia or her screaming and throwing her hands up when "in the path" of some kind of vehicle. That's it---fire her, fire her now. There's another homegirl in town, and her name is Leslie Michaelson. There's a chick who could have pulled off Sophia's sudden "step off bitch" scenes with Malcolm and Tucker.

Speaking of---anyone else find Nichols' choices odd today? He goes from threatening Sophia with jail to near crying? Puhleeze.

And WTF was with Sharon's JackieO! look? YIKES.

Always. Just a repeat of Tucker not being allowed inside Katherine's hospital room.

Salt of the earth,elderly, (devoted husband) Murphy, and (devoted son)shirt-off-my-back, saint Brock, are the mean bullies blocking access to (revengeful son)Tucker-powerful corporate raider. Someone needs to review the character descriptions.

    • LOL - such a good point. They think it'll go over well and be glamorous and amazing, but sometimes it just ends up being cringe. This wedding so far is a little cringe. They have ducks walking around the hotel foyer and towards the camera, for heck's sake haha.
    • I was focused on 1995 Phillip. With only one child at that point, all he'd really have to rule is his harem of ex's. I'd have loved to watch Grant Aleksander and Rick Hearst go toe to toe, but he's on his way out and I doubt the writers would've ever let A-M best Phillip.  Yes, to someone like Kyle, but no to someone to horndog Reva or be an ineffectual six month villain. They really needed to invest in a Roger-type villain who was built to last. I don't know what it is about location shoots, but shows had a way of overplaying them. Just because you can swim the length of a real pool, or run in a literal field of flowers, etc...doesn't mean I have to see it in it's entirety. I just watched Mindy's wedding to Kurt, and Mindy must've walked a bleepin' mile between the carriage and the altar.

    • 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
