Y&R: May Discussion Thread

[dsvd79]

Seriously? How many people are going to die, be close to dying, or comeback?

I swear I am watching Groundhog Day! C'mon Y&R! I know you are better than that!

[Mr. Vixen]

I'm still a day behind but DAMN Marcy Rylan was really good in the scene where Abby destroys the wedding sight. It was such a classic soap moment. And her humming the wedding theme while we saw clips of Ash/Tucker gave me chills.

I think they're going to give Abby and alcoholism story.

I LOVE TRACI! <3 But why is her hair pink?

[Cyberologist]

he flipped quickerthanthis and started the name calling I have never liked Niki with

Victor I accepted it but I never liked how he treated her he's done this all through the years

the same thing over and over and she takes him back ..."we belong together"

battered wife syndrome... what grates my nerve is

she hopped into bed with him in one eppy then backstrokes this is a mistake and all

this nonsense you're 50 years old get it together with this man. geeze I like how Katherine got

called out on her Victor worship by Tucker and Jack I watched it two times she faults Tucker

for doing the same thing Victor does...and tells Jack "that's why I never gave you Jabot"

HUH? Viotor is doing the same thing for Newman Enterprises its his legacy but Jack can't

do the same...Katherine needs to go sit down.

Diane

[Juliajms]

I love Maura, but the way they are writing Diane is killing me. I am a very frustrated viewer right now. First you have Diane who is throwing herself at every man on the show. She offers 70 year old Victor an open marriage, which he refuses. She sleeps with Jack. Then she basically makes utterly desperate passes at Nick, Michael and Tucker.

I think it's going to happen and Maura, Diane and viewers deserve better.

Then you have Nikki willing to cheat with Victor and take his abuse once again. Why would either of these women want his evil, old ass? They don't even need his money at this point, not really. They may not have as much as he does, but they have money from various settlements and child support and so forth, so screw Victor. I am so over his character.

[P.J.]

I think the lack of focus for Diane indicates that Sheffer has gotten his wet dream wish---finally writing a character for Maura the way he wanted to write Carly. And that TIIC didn't really have a plan for Diane when she hit town. 'Cause if they did, Diane would have been embroiled in ANY of the female rivalries her history is littered with. She's had minor skirmishes with Nikki, Ash and Phyllis---but she's spent most of her time with the utterly bored Morrow, old fussbudget Jack and viagra-enhanced Victor.

They need to PICK a story and STICK with it.

I didn't think she made passes at Nick, Tucker or Michael this week. In fact, I nearly cheered when she finally shut down Nick and his lame-ass "apology" at the bar. The touchy-feely moment with Michael was a little odd, but simply friendly. What I totally don't get is why she'd run after Tucker on the strength of an apology and a text.

[Juliajms]

Me either. Not after the way he has blown her off. It's the desperation that is bugging me. It's so unnecessary. It's a lot like Sharon was being written at one point. The Michael thing struck me as sort of an invitation. If he had kissed her she would have gone with it, imo. She flirted with Tucker earlier in the week or was that last week? I can't keep track, I'll I'm saying is that Diane is a desperate mess who is after nearly every man in GC and it's gross and a waste of a good actress. If HS is behind this then he needs to go. Watching Sharon, Nikki and Diane crawl after these ridiculous men is not entertaining to me at all.

[P.J.]

Yeah...every woman goes crawling back to the men who dumped them while every man gets to kick women out of their lives without a backward glance (although I say, I loved it when Jack kicked Phyl to the curb.)

I get why Abby hates Tucker...but the why she's so fixated on proving a ONS with Diane happened leaves me scratching my head. Yes, it was skeevy, but it's not like she's got any reason to believe it's an on-going affair. If he'd screwed the wedding planner or something, that I could understand. Not that Ash's indiscretions really make her morally superior to Tucker in the long run.

[soapfan770]

Hey, Ashley was still officially with Neil when she and Tucker first shacked up.

[Khan]

That's right! Everyone's a big-boobied ho in the G.C.!

[P.J.]

A fact Abby seems completely ignorant of.

[DeeeDee]

As is Neil.

[Juliajms]

Yeah, just about everyone is a cheater right now. It's pretty out of hand. It's hard to feel all that bad for anyone. I hate watching Nikki get smacked down by Victor one more time, but she did sleep with Diane's husband, so she opened herself up for it.

[DeeeDee]

Literally.

...Trust - I have hated the way Diane's been written, or NOT written as it were. As a Maura fan, I've had more than a roller-coaster of emotions when it comes to this show. I guess I'm finally happy that she's on a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, they still need to give her a little bit more 'meat,' a little more context - WHY is she bouncing around from man to man? In the meantime, I'll enjoy her ramped up airtime these couple of weeks, because I'm CERTAIN that ain't going to last.
