Members P.J. Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 You'd think if Sharon was going to have the balls to tell Nick, Nikki and Victor to shove it, the scene would have gone on a little longer than it did. I know technically she's justified, but her arrogance makes her completely unsympathetic in this circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm talking about having a story that doesn't involve Chloe at all. It seems like the only way Heather can be into a guy is if Chloe had him first. Not to mention her stupidity. It doesn't help that she sometimes looks like she doesn't know where she's at looks.

Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think the initial Chloe/Chance/Heather stuff was deliberate but since then I think they've tried to move her away from Chloe. They dropped Chloe/Ronan quickly and haven't gone back. I guess I can see why their fans might be upset, but then, all I remember with Chloe/Ronan was a gawping maw of anti-chemistry, like most of Chloe's romantic pairings. I just hate what they made Nina's story into, but what can I expect? I guess I should be happy they even bothered to give her a scene. Everything with Ronan is so boring. That's the joke of Sharon finding "independence" and so on - this story has nothing to do with her. It's still all about the waving dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 I feel bad for the fans who watched back in the 80's and waited for this story to be revisited only to end up with a whimper of a story. It doesn't help that Branson looks like he may bolt at any minute. My inner 12 year old always laughs at the waving dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Branson was poor casting. He is much too low-energy for this type of role, and he just seems lost. There was no reason for this story. Just as there was no reason to bring back Patty. This weird assault on history is both lazy and counterproductive.

Members Money Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I agree the scene should have been longer but I think she's more defiant, not arrogant. I like her chemistry with Adam but Maria needs to play ALL beats in this storyline instead of white washing everything Adam did to make them more palpable. Where the hell is Ashley in this storyline? If Sharon wants to be with Adam then truly deal with the repercussions instead of everyone telling her she's stupid and none of them can claim any moral high ground. That's the problem. We have Niki casting stones but she also cheated and is involved with greasy Deacon. Nick should be justifiably upset but it's not being shown where he's actually terrified that Adam will be in Faith's life because he's too busy screwing Diane and acting like he's morally superior. Since Adam is shown to be no threat to Faith, his outrage comes off as more like a bruised ego. And of course there's Victor - who's completely unlikeable in this storyline with all his lies and machinations involving Skye's "death". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 No man on a Sheffer written project would ever be "terrified" of anything, save their child at death's doorstep. That said, I think it is clear Nick's reaction isn't about a bruised ego, but about how he can't trust Sharon anymore, period. Nor IMO, should he. I think Sharon's arrogant. She's running around town telling everyone to bugger off, lecturing them (even Ash) that they're "no better" than Adam. Arrogant, delusional, and just plain CRAZY sums it up to me.

Members Cyberologist Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 That is a funny scene and then he just comes into the restaurant cold and calculating to look at him in the pink bathrobe you'd never guess he's so cunning great acting by Tristan. I think this is interesting as for Kevin/Chloe/Jana but Chloe acts like a teen sometimes for me she's acting rather immature in this particular storyline. I liked how Abby told Daniel to get his itsky together and took a hike until he did but here is Chloe throwing popcorn in a theatre it just seemed silly to me for some reason.

Members sheilaforever Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well put, Carl! Thing is the Patty story had potential thanks to casting and finally giving Doug Davidson some storyline again. That Ronan story just sucks; they took great characters like Nina/Cricket came up with a lame-o story, ruined one of Y&R greatest stories from the 80s and what we got out of it is Ronan & Eden Beagle!? Sorry this just is : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Exactly. It's embarrassing how Y&R's wasted Jeanne, Jess & Tricia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 This! Lately, more times than not, I feel that the non writers are channeling the late Reilly from beyond. Nothing makes sense, so we have to sit back why the characters try and tell us why it does. This show reeks, and Sharon can't be more arrogant if she tried. She needs to move her high and mighty slutty ass off that ranch! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 I thought the Patty story started off good enough but got ruined bc the show didnt know how to friggin end it. It just got ridiculous and they kept trying to come up with excuses to keep her around even if doing so meant ruining other characters in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 The only thing good about this Ronan storyline was that scene the other day. When Nina was in his room. I can't remember the words, but it was her speech saying something like "I can't save you! I can't! But don't give up, let me be here for you1" Obviously, it was MUCH better than that...But Tricia just puts SO much into her scenes, no matter the crappy the writing is...And her emotion actually moved me to tears. EDIT: Okay, I found the scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn881G76L44 The scene starts at 3:30, but it gets really emotional at 5:15.....ONLY Tricia Cast could save this storyline. She is just so...real. She's just outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
