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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
