Members KMan101 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah. Well said, Carl, LOL. It's really sad to say that's all true and it's pretty ugly. Soaps were always about outrageous, campy, heightened storylines. I'm all for the zany at times, but soaps have gotten just UGLY. It's sad. It really is.

Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Not just ugly, but needlessly so. There was no resonance, no purpose, no value in any dark plot this show has told. If you want to relive her genius. Bill Bell is so very proud of Adam seducing a brain dead twink offcamera and Phillip abandoning his newborn son and making his family think he was dead. So proud! http://tvguide.ca/So...a_arena_bell_NB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 I mean, I can sit through a dark and depressing story if it's meant to really develop a character, really showing us how it affects them and those around them. It's non existent anymore, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 God, this is all pure torture. The worse thing is, even with a series of record low ratings, they still think they're doing an amazing job over there. MAB/Sheffer/Hamner and their minions totally broke my spirit and trust in this show. I can never watch it again. This show just gets stupider and stupider.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 I spit out my vitamin water when I got to the pic of Malcolm's sandwich platter. Thanks for the laughs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 I can't believe it's been four years, it only feels like two. From "Sudden Impact" till Paris was pretty okay, but it wasn't until Katherine's funeral that things started to get really good. It all started to go downhill when Katherine's storyline became Kevin's chipmunk storyline that things started to go bad. Phyllis writing "I hate myself" wasn't bad and admittedly Muhney does fill out the dress really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 It feels like eight years to me, and I barely even watch that show. I never thought I'd see the days when an ABC soap looked like it was in better shape than Y&R, but that happened many a time in the last several years.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 What is the whole story with Malcolm and the sandwiches? I can't remember for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lovely_m Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 The joke was that practically every scene Malcolm had was him always going to another room to get sandwiches or tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks. I never really saw him. I can't get over the trash dump - I still can't believe someone thought this was a good idea. And that volcano looks like a Doctor Who story from 1988.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just think, we all thought after Latham, it couldn't get any worse - and it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAYSjunkie1987 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 I, too, loved the Katherine/ Marge story, but it quickly went downhill since then and IMO it will never, ever recover. BTW, who is that with Eden Riegel? Is that Jeff Branson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Unpopular opinion but I loved Y&R under LML. She is the one that made me a regular viewer of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
