Y&R: Discussion for the Month of October


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Oh lord. Diane's not dead. It's why she texted all her enemies whilst wearing a hideous dress and asked them all to meet her in some abandoned park with water (the kiss of death in Genoa City) and then conveniently showed up dead in a smaller version of the infamous Nikki-Cow-Pattern=Dress.

She's Alive.

Deal.

Nobody dies anymore here.

And I pray to soap gods that Sheffer isn't so jaded that he actually killed off MAURA WEST! :o

I don't have the mental strength to watch her suffer at the hands of Y&R's morons. It was like watching a 2 yr old play with a cat. They mean well, they love the cat, but they don't realize they're actually torturing the poor thing.

EXCEPT, the morons at Y&R aren't two, and they aren't simply overexcited and they don't love Maura. If they had, they would have simply shipped Diane out of town, and put the best possible spin on it---the "oh, we've got too many stories going on" excuse. Instead they brutally blugeoned her to death. And even on a show featuring one resurrection a month, they ain't bringing her back. Good as she is, Maura can't walk around topless and inspire thousands of drooling fangurls with a blank stare.

It's so much WORSE than I thought -- Phyllis simulating oral sex with the straw of her drink. On one hand, I'm impressed that Daytime would go there. It's been a long time since a soap tried to be sexy in an adult way (as opposed to the "grief sex" hollowness that seems to pervade the genre these days). On the other hand... it's Phyllis. And she's offering up sex in exchange for some info about Diane's murder that-I-can't-even-recall-right-now which she is planning to pass on to Nick? Classy.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay.
    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
