Y&R: Discussion for the Month of November

Adam isn't a character, he's a plot point with tics. The most popular things he does have nothing to do with characterization (unbuckling a belt, generic pissing contests with other guys). They destroyed Adam with the gaslighting story so Muhney just plays what works for him, but without him the character would be worthless. It's reprehensible what they've done to these characters.

Thank you, Carl, that's exactly what I meant (but couldn't find the right words to say).

Hey! I just realized something! Check it: Patty's new alias is "Myrna Murdock," right? Take away the "n" and change the "k" to an "h," and you know what you have? "Myra Murdoch," Palmer Cortlandt's housekeeper and mother-in-law. If I didn't know any better, I'd think someone on that writing staff was an ALL MY CHILDREN fan. wink.png

I almost wish Josh Morrow would land a big film role or a hot primetime series. Anything to get him and his smug fratboy take on Nick Newman off this damn show.

Re: Victor & Nikki

1) Wow, that was fast!

2) Wow, that's some gut (on EB)!

Victor: Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. My darlink. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Nikki: Oh oh Victor. I've missed you so much, my darling. Mmmmmmmmm.

Victor: Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Nikki: Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Victor: Mmm?

Nikki: Victor, take off your coat and put on your Black T-Shirt of Brooding.

Victor: For you? Anything, my darlink.

Nikki: Oh Victor. You are such a good man. I wish everybody could see what I see in you. The kindness. The generosity. The limitless capacity for forgiveness. (crosses fingers behind her back)

Victor: *growls in an obviously aroused way*

Adam (on the phone): Hello, security? I need you to remove two people from my office, STAT!

Michael and ScarecrowToria: angry.png

Adam: And while you're at it, bring up some boxes so that Victoria Newman can pack up all her things. (hangs up phone) There is absolutely no need to thank me.

ScarecrowToria: Get the hell out of my father's office, Adam.

Adam: You're the one who resigned, cokehead. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

ScarecrowToria: Adam is such a mean bully.

Billy after too many cigarettes and whiskey sours: Heh heh. What's that old scallywag been up to now?

ScarecrowToria: Sitting in dad's office lording it over us, the TRUE Newmanzzzzzzzzz.

Billy after too many cigarettes and whiskey sours: Heh heh. You know, I hate your dad, and he did get me looked up in a prison in Myanmar on trumped-up drug smuggling charges while stopping me from seeing my sick daughter... but despite all that, he is your father and deserves your love and respect. You need to warn him about Adam being all nefarious and sh!t.

ScarecrowToria: You're such a good, decent man, how did I ever get so lucky to have you in my life? etc. etc.

Phyllis: Hey Avery McBigBoobs. We bonded over Thanksgiving. Let's be friends again so I don't have to worry about you talking sh!t about me to Nick.

Avery: We didn't bond. And thanks for reminding me about Nick. Time for a booty call.

Phyllis: Oh yeah? Well, Nick is my HUZZBIND you ho! You're just trying to get back at me! Everything is always about ME ME ME! You have zero dignity! Now if you will excuse me, tramp, I need to go fall on top of Ronan's penis.

Beekeeper Pattyrna: Hey there Señor Kittycat! I can't believe that horrible witch Laura Spencer gave you away to Diane's spawn! Aw, kitty. Come crawl over me like I crawled over Sleepin' Jack at Thanksgiving. We can re-enact that scene from Batman Returns when Christopher Walken pushes Michelle Pfeiffer out of the window, and all her cats crawl all over her and tongue her and give her amazing cat powers that turn her into Catwoman!

(Actually, i wouldn't mind if Stacy Haiduk donned that PVC suit and ran around GC as Catwoman full-time. Better than that weird lace mask she puts on to answer the door).

Jack: Billy, now that Jabot is FINALLY back in the hands of the Abbotts, we want you to join the firm. Make it a true family business.

Billy after too many cigarettes and whiskey sours: Heh heh. Can't do dat, bro. I'm thinking of reigniting the godforsaken Restless Style story!

Jack: Billy, what about your family?

Billy after too many cigarettes and whiskey sours: Heh heh. Jack, I'm really not into acknowledging that I'm an Abbott or that that Jill person is my mother. I'm wrapped up in the Newman story. You should try it sometime, it's called "frontburner."

Phyllis: Nikki's back in town. Unzip your pants. Shall I be on top this time?

Ronan: Ah mah gud. Nikkeh's in tahhn? That explens everythung! This pillow -- No Place Lak Humm -- and the red shoes? It's a clue to Diane's muh-duh-ruh! It clearly refuhs to Nikkeh!

P.S. Dr. Pee is back as Tucker's psychiatrist. rolleyes.gif

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
