Y&R: Discussion for the Month of November


Recommended Posts

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

    • Breakdown writers can pitch stories and obviously they have influence over what is included in the breakdown but MVJ is the final decision maker. It depends on the faith you have in MVJ if you feel Carlivati is going to be a problem. I don't think a throwaway having a book author named after him is a sign he's taken over the show. Most people didn't even catch the reference.
    • Tamara Tunie reading that damn letter is exactly why I wish this show had more experienced actors.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
