Members Cheap21 Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 Oh boy Victor has a gut. He looked ridiculous in that tight black shirt beating up on the punching bag. Are they really pairing him with Genie Francis' character? Poor her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 I doubt it. They are probably at some sort of stand off in negotiations with MTS and are using Genie to prod her along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 Good luck with that. She's one of the most unpopular newcomers they've had and they blatantly have no idea what to do with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 Is that true? I don't care much for her character but I wonder if the online dislike is driven more based on MTS's status versus the actual character. I wonder how offliners feel?

Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't think the dislike online has that much to do with MTS. There are some fans who feel MTS should just take cuts no matter what, and the show has done a great job making viewers see Nikki as worthless. I think it has to do with the incredibly awful intro story Genie had, her widely panned performances, and the awkward flailing around from the show after this story choked on its own vomit. She is badly out of place on this show. Some very different sites (this, TWOP, Daytime Confidential) all generally hated most of her material. That's unusual.

Members JaneAusten Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think its hard having played a popular character on another soap almost an icon coming in and playing the opposite. I am not defending GF. I do think the story was terrible. The entire Gothic element they tried to surround her with just doesn't work on this show and Colin was actually a compelling character before this story. He even had me interested in Cane for the first time in like ever. I just don't like this idea of shows creating characters for a specific actor or actress. Why? The stories should drive the characters needed not the reverse.. But all soaps seem to be victim to this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't really blame Genie - the writing just sucks. I can see why she wanted to take the role, as it's a departure from Laura. Unfortunately Y&R put more focus on photo shoots and talk show appearances than on actually writing a story for her. That she, very shortly after joining the show, already said she wasn't working kind of says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted August 10, 2011 Members Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ronan telling off Katherine and Michael telling off Victor was the best parts of today. Ronan should be greatful that Kathrine can't stand him because she won't be butting into his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cattykittens Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 Will it really help her if she takes cuts? Didn't JW/ Jill take cuts, and look what they have done to her. She basically a glorified day player. When she is on it's for about 3 minutes of the episode. I'm not sure if it's the writers, Sony, or CBS, but it's clear that if a certain someone doesn't like you the characters life stops regardless if the actor is still with the show or not. With two large companies involved you would think there would be some type of leak to what is going on. As a viewer I think we have the right to know if Nikki and Jill are for all intensive purposes-"DONE". I've been following the core families of GC since the beginning and have screwed up the family framework taking out two main matriarchal characters. I could care less if about Avery, Tucker, Heather, Malcolm, Sofia, Gloria, Hunter, Gene-v and the rest of the random characters, get rid of them and pay the people who really matter and who the viewers tune in for.

Members MoTheGreat Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 Malcolm, Sofia, & the rest of the black actors aren't getting that much. They probably make just enough for them not to live in the middle class black neighborhood. So, them cutting out the black actors isn't going to make a dent in Y&R to pay Jill & Katherine protrayer. The problem is that Y&R doesn't want to write for anybody else that are not in Phylis, Sharon, Victor, or Adam storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think the kid playing Kyle is actually doing really well with this storyline...Much better than that girl that played Abby when Brad died, who smiled her way through EVERY scene.

Members Cheap21 Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 When and why did Daniel and Abby break up? He's back together with CKLily? Oh and I dont like his hair Chloe vs Victoria....Yaawwwwnnnnnnn Got incredibly creeped out by Deacon commenting on seeing Abby's naked body. Its like borderline pedophile to me despite Abby being aged. He has a daughter her age (again if SORAS didnt screw things up) Can someone do something about Adam's hair? Its awful. I see not combing your hair is something that runs in the family. Victoria, Im looking at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 They broke up because Daniel couldn't deal with her. She kept trying to make him appear on her "reality show" and would want him to stage giving her presents and stuff. She used to call the paparazzi and all that, and he just didn't like that whole life so he ended it. Chloe is a grade A [!@#$%^&*] and I can't stand her.

Members RavenWhitney Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 This murder plot SUCKS...Y&R writers are bereft of any creative juice. Wednesday's episode was downright embarrasing. None of these fine actors could make it work. If they think they are the audience is enjoying these mini storylines ala Port Charles, forget it. Jack chewing up the scenery with Victor over Kyle was as bad as Ronan and Phyliss flirting while he gave away his whole case against her. Nick and Ash and the flashlight search for the phone..This is beyond laughable. Come on Sony....Maria and her wingmen need to go. As we are seeing with Garin Wolf on GH, the longterm writers on the show would do better than this drivel. Promote Esser/Slater and get rid of Beall; her scripts are awful...She is no Alan Ball!

Members aMLCproduction Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 I hate Ronan. He is so ugly and has no lips. I hate this stupid murder mystery. I just plain hate Y&R right now. Ronan is not needed at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
