Y&R: Discussion for the Month of January

[soapfan770]

Sharon Case has been tweeting about her disgust about the writing for Sharon and the direction Sharon has taken. Sounds as if she's finally fed up with it all.

[DRW50]

Really? Wow. I thought she was staying no matter what, given the horrid writing she's put up with over the years. I never thought she'd say a word. What is she saying?

[dm.]

Good for her.

But she better beware, they might already be eyeing some forgotten primetime star to recast.

[DRW50]

In this case it would probably be a former ABC Daytime star. I'm guessing someone like Jessica Morris.

[soapfan770]

Basically she has been replying to complaints about Sharon and empathizing with them. One person mentioned all they got for their complaint letter was a "Thank you for the comment" and Case made a snarky reply that she got the same response.

The "Miss Phyllis" controversy made me watch more of Y&R than I probably have in a while. Why do Sharon, Phyllis, and Victoria have their hair in their eyes at all times? Phyllis spent half her scenes taking her hair out of her eye. Is the show just out of money for hair and makeup? Phyllis looked less like a hot babe and more like MTV's Jesse Camp.

Why is Sharon dressed like she's in a 1974 porno? Why is her hair the color of stale pudding?

Is there any reason Ricky is on the show, or that this non-actor was cast?

Poor Jeff Branson seems to be on his way to looking like Kenny Rogers. I guess life with Phyllis does that. He also stutters 99% of his lines now - he only stuttered 75% on AMC and 80% on GL.

SO happy to hear SC is unhappy because her character is ABSOLUTELY ruined. I'd be okay with Sharon dying at this point.

I loved how the DRUNK and the pathetic loser whose husband has betrayed her again, got all up in Sharon's face over custody. How about Nick's stability? Hmm. I'm with Avery and she dumps me and I go to the St. Phyllis for a romp. What made this thing even worse (the hysteria in the courtroom by Nikki and Victoria) was that it was reinstating a SHARED custody agreement. It's not like the judge gave full custody to Nick. Good grief.

How did Harmony end up working at Restless Style? I totally missed that.

[Cyberologist]

re: Harmony @ RS I have to go back some eppys I must have missed that one too.; I did see Miss Phyllis & I just don't get why she sounds like she just came in from picking cotton; Is Harmony from the south?

Niki will take Victor back quickerthanthis I actually thought (MTS) she'd come back & be written different but no. he'll verbally abuse her & she'll be right back up in his cha-cha next week. disappointed that Niki still on the sauce. Same ole' same ole' They turned deacon back into a sleazeball was he trying to strangle her? They had such great chemistry.

.I don't know what to say about Victor & Sharon. I'm just stunned; I remembered years ago I think they kissed or something.

Re: Sharon's wardrobe YEP she's got Boogey Nights written all over her. Terrible writing for the most part just terrible.

[Juliajms]

Someone told me that Kay asked Billy to hire Harmony.

[aMLCproduction]

O wow I had no idea about this. Can you provied the actual words she's saying? Sharon at this point is the most ruined. She does need to die at this point.

[JSROCKS]

Kay is in her "My Fair Lady" mode and Yo-Harmony is her project. Personally I find Kay's actions insulting. Harmony's current ghetto accent is very annoying. I guess Kay's going to TEACH her how to speak "proper" English. And don't get me started on the "Miss Phylis"s comment. What's next Mr. Billy? GEEZE

[cattykittens]

Far from "My Fair Lady" the haughty grande dame who once kept control of her empire with an iron fist has been transformed into a needy old woman. She's become desperate for the approval of Devon and her poor suffereing bio-son, who always seems to have the same constipated expression plastered on his face when she appears.

YoHarmony's dress and accent far ourweigh anything Kay's doing. She was supposed to be from Seattle, wasn't she raised with Tyra as a sister? Even though they were eventually found not to be related they still both grew up in the Pacific Nothwest and Tyra didn't have an accent. YoHarmony followed Tucker around & it seems they spent quite a bit of time in LA. Devon caught up with her in the mid-west, sleeping under park benches in GC not Georgia. Don't see where YoHarmony could have picked up the southern "Miss" custom or the rest of her accent.

Maybe they are giving her a twang because Tucker has one. If YoHarmony sounded and carried herself like Angie Tucker's going to come off like a dumb hillbilly next to her. Tucker has a low-grade twang and often doesn't pronounce the consonants at the end his words. He's always come off sounding uneducated which is way I always have to remind myself he's supposed to be a billionaire businessman. Tucker never commands the room either, and Angie, like Jill and Kay, can. They have to knock these woman down a few pegs so Tucker can come across as the superior all knowing alpha male.
