Y&R: March Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Because Colin came in pretending that Katherine was trying to "fix" him up with the governor. Why this is funny, I'm not exactly sure.

Why do I get the feeling Colin is gaslighting Lily?

Nothing interesting today. Nikki looked nice. And I really wish Leslie could become a fulltime resident of GC. Of course, that would doom her to a relationship with Malcolm, which is a fate worse than death.

I try and I try...but, I can't do it. I can't commit to a show that snapped up my fave and then pretty much refuses to use her. Honestly, she's great. Like, really great. And the lack of airtime and story for her ticks me off. But I get it -- they don't really need lil' ol' me as a viewer, now do they??

I think Y&R is so flawed it makes the last year of ATWT look like Shakespeare. Srsly. And don't get me started on hair, wardrobe, makeup, lighting, pace, music, no extreme close-ups, or the ginormous cast.

This might not be the time or place, but for those that are unfamiliar you should check out Carly (Maura West) and Jack from ATWT on YouTube and watch the magic they make.

I used to envy the Y&R discussion a few years ago, when ATWT would struggle to get 5 pages a week, and Y&R was getting like 10 a day.

I'm only here by default, because of Maura. While some of my nonchalance about it is probably biased (loving the flawed ATWT as I did...), I gotta say, the stories are flat. I know the stories are written as if the characters' actions have consequences...but it doesn't translate into any energy onscreen. For example, Nick's defection to join his sisters in the lawsuit---it's supposed to be this game changing "moment" in the story. How's it met? Vicki and Abby squeal in delight for five seconds, and Victor blasts him for a minute and a half. BIG DEAL. It's delivered with the same intensity as any of them ordering a beer at Gloworm.

I gotta say...Eileen Davidson is ageless. The only scenes that interested me at all on Friday were her with CLB and KSJ.

I'm supposed to believe that mean ol' Vic is suddenly ashamed of his actions because he was publicly compared to John? REALLY? It only occurred to the old guy NOW that Sharon would be separated from Faith now if she went to prison? WTF ever.

Even Katherine's attitude pissed me off. John was supposed to be her dearest friend. Victor's never held a candle to John in that department.

What is the promo? I haven't seen it.

Also, I have only been a regular viewer of Y&R for the past 3 years. Before that I only watched about twice a week.

When they showed the clip of John punching Victor because he "killed his grandson"...What was that about? Was that the son that Ashley lost? What's the story there. I'm drawing a blank.

The promo I saw concerns Victor, Nikki, and Diane and YES it is vomit inducing and disgusting. Dear God in heaven!

Always good see John Abbott rise above those arthritis pains to knock out Victor. A critique and major details of Y&R's last grand business storyline can be found here.

Yep.

Blanket Robert was Brad & Ashley's son.

She had a stressful pregnancy & was forced to rest per doctor's orders so (as usual) Grambo cheated, lied & indirectly directly contributed to the car accident that caused Blanket Robert's death.

I didn't know about Victor being somehow "involved" in Ashley losing her baby with Brad....

I like Adam and Sharon (am I in the minority here? :) ) so I watch when they are on, and I'm interested to see what will happen there, now that Adam has left so that Sharon can get her baby back...

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
