Y&R: March Discussion Thread

YES! They accidentally get locked in the GCAC overnight (Nikki passes out tipsy behind the bar, Diane gets locked by Ashley in the bathroom stall but by the time Ash gets out of there, the place is all closed up and lights are out. All three women emerge in the dining room (Diane kicks the door of the bathroom stall down. You know she totally would!).

Maybe we get the rivalry and bitterness coming through (the Sperm incident can definitely be brought up here). Then we can have Ashley wondering why she falls in love with emotionally distant men and Nikki being all "A-MEN, friend." Diane looks a little nervous -- she knows they are referencing Grambo. They end up pigging out on cold cuts, the GCAC's entire cupcake stock and margaritas (yes, even Nikki). When they are finally freed from the GCAC, Diane staggers somewhet tipsily to Nick's house where she wakes him up (it's like 5am at this point) with a mega kiss. And finally she (and we) get some Dick.

It's really time to blow up the "Tucker slept with Diane" bomb. SN and ED have NO chemistry. I want to see Diane start throwing her weight around and getting back at those who've pissed her off. Slapping down that ass Tucker seems like a good place to start.

That HAIR is so damn distracting. Seriously, why don't they comb that rat's nest and cut IT. It's far too long. I'm struck at how juvenile the dialouge can be at times. And while I'm glad this is heating up - at a SNAIL'S pace for my liking - I didn't see any look between Diane and Nick. Victor was just being a drama queen.

The problem with that type of promo is if the actors don't stay - I think the longest one of them stayed was two years (Genie Francis and Jane Elliot). I don't even know if Bob Woods lasted a year.

Then again Y&R is so desperate for PR these days they would do this type of promo if the son from Ghost and Mrs. Muir was on for five seconds.

I mean really Nikki? You couldn't take the swig of your drink outside? You just had to sip on the yak on the inside of church where some one can see you? I just love the cattiness between Jill and Nikki. And I was so glad Ashely called out kay on choosing Victor owver her own son cuz I was thinking the same thing. What the hell is Ash wearing? And Nikki's curtains she dug out her basement from 1991 are kinda nice.

^^ Ash and Nikki were having a floral-off. No joke, those christening outfits are the most exciting thing to happen all week.

Good episode -- probably because it features Nikki being brilliant, Ashley being feisty and Jill telling Nikki to "fluff away." LOL! And Traci came along, too. Yay!

One person who works my last nerve is Granny Cooper. Cannot stand that crone turning on everybody she is meant to care about just to prop Grambo's tired ass. He is entitled to do what he wants with his company that he built viz hiz own two HANS! But what effing plot point is this where she starts lecturing Jack on his "obsession" with Jabot and using the company as a stick with which to beat the Abbotts? Go fall into cocktail, Granny, and then go drive Kevin Fisher off the road or something.

Another person I never wanted to see again -- the Red Menace. No, not Syphyllis. It's "She Pops!"

And Y&R needs to stop fronting like Feather is some kind of charismatic, sensuous sexpot.

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
