Y&R: Discussion for the Month of February

[Cat]

Honestly? I think MAB is dumb enough to cast Jessica Leccia as nu-Isabella. No joke.

[DRW50]

That might work, in terms of age (Jessica looks a bit old in the face), but Isabella would just simper all the time.

I never had any interest in the character and I doubt I ever will.

[Cat]

You and me both. Love Longoria on Desperate Housewives, though. She found "her" role with that one.

[alphanguy74]

I know, they do look INCREDIBLY alike. It is stunning. I'm curious now how's going to play Phyllis and Avery's mother. I would love if they brought Abby Dalton back to play her.

[Taiah]

Did you have to bring up the horrid snow angels scene? LOL, you're right though. They never cared about Ronan and Nina, no matter which woman he was laying with. Chloe and Heather just badgered him more about Nina that's all.

Ricky being mad and resentful towards Paul is understandable and I like that Ricky got it off his chest. The problem is they've done these resentful, abandoned child stories so much that its tiresome. Kay/Tucker is the worst in resent years with all the rewriting just to make it work. It still doesn't imo.

GC vs Genevieve is lame. Ol bunch of meanies. I still don't feel like rooting for Genevieve though. Over the top 'root for her/him' writing is annoying.

I thought they were trying to hide her excess weight.

Jessica Leccia is cast as nu-Isabella. It's revealed the reason Isabella went crazy was because she couldn't cope with the fact that she's a lesbian. Crystal Chappell and Orlagh Cassidy subsequently added to the cast.

[Paul Raven]

No way would Longoria come back to Y&R under any circumstances.She talks nicely about Y&R because it's a classy thing to do and she probably does have good memories.

But she has moved way beyond daytime soaps.With DH dying she really has to make some smart career moves to ensure some career longevity and going back to a show that she had little impact on at the time and is a part of a dying genre is hardly going to keep her on the A list.Plus,the salary would probably only cover her drycleaning for the month.

[Juliajms]

If they are they should stop because she's not that big. Baggy close don't hide anything.

[SFK]

What the HELL is going on? Who is this annoying girl wit the Adelaide from Guys and Dolls voice, and how did they get shipwrecked off of Long Island sound of all places? Jeff is responsible?

I felt embarrassed when Katherine walked in on Devon and that awful music. "Sounds good." Uh, no.

[dm.]

Diana DeGarmo, a runner-up on the third season of American Idol, now playing the role of a stereotypical mob boss' daughter Angelina (to Mike Starr's Angelo) in a lazy attempt to give Kevin a story.

Angelo (obviously) removed Jeff from Gloria to get with her, but Jeff escaped and now has amnesia.

Just writing this... ugh.

[SFK]

Wow, thanks. Okay, now I recognize her, she used to be blonde... she lost to Fantasia, right?

[DRW50]

Yeah. She has mostly done Broadway since then.

This is all apparently some clever homage to Jersey Shore.

[SFK]

Daniel is a good looking guy, what possessed him to grow that dirty hippie ponytail?

One episode and I can hardly stand her.

[DRW50]

He's had the long, dirty hair for years, unfortunately.

If there's anything MAB is worse at than drama it's attempts at homages. Keep in mind that Kevin and Chloe are supposed to be Pretty in Pink.
