Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2012 Members Share Posted April 18, 2012 I guess I can't see how this is different from the million other stories where women are whored out to men on this show. But if I wasn't so horrified by Genie Francis I might be able to see it in a more unbiased way, so that's on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's not just you Carl. Genie is a bootleg Nikki in this story and acting very pathetic because she can't have Jack. There's nothnig strong about her and they need to just cut their losses. She doesn't have her eye on any powerful business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted April 18, 2012 Members Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's not just you. I actually like Genie Francis never thought she was any great talent but she had a certain spark and warmth on screen. Even in her recent visits to GH as bad as the writing, she still had something. Now I just can't see it. The character's awful but I think so much has to so with Y&R these days as the show is so ice cold and empty. It amazes to me that I actually warmed up to Avery because most of the new characters on this show are cringeworthy. I do think she has far better chemistry with Braden than anyone else she's been tied to but I'm not sure in the long run that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Tucker with those dark glasses in Crimson playing secret spy with Sophia was too funny. Nice to see Reed again, that boy is too cute. Victoria saying she can't stay mad at Victor? What BS! She needs to hold a grudge for awhile this time around.

Members edgeofnik Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Good grief. Neil continues to be the biggest d-bag on this show. Sophia does what every male business character does (Victor, Jack, Tucker, Adam, Nick, Neil, Cane, Billy, etc.) and Neil gets his feeling hurts because of a business deal and treats her like dirt. Sophia deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Neil's always been an ass who treats women like dirt. It's one of the reasons I have never had any use for this character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 The latter- the 3rd has to be the son of the Junior. Each boy can only be a namesake of their father. The father may choose to name the son after his grandfather, sure, but he wouldn't be a Jr. or the 3rd unless the baby's grandfather's name is the same as his father's. Finally, my screen name on this site comes into play with a post!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 And that "child" was smoking pot and contemplating sex with JT before her cousin Abby, who's in her late 20s, was even born. So shrieking and getting the heebie geebies when she sees Daisy of the Corn is a storyline? Daisy is no more frightening than any of the females in the old "Barbie World" video Easy. They'll just have Victor's instincts about a character turn out to be 100% right for the gazillionth time. And, hopefully, we'll get Thad back as my much-missed JT. She's about as strong as cooked spaghetti. The character just does not fit in to the Y&R canvas at all, but I'll give her a pass because for some reason, she generates story for my Jill.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Gen doesn't generate story for Jill, in fact she takes away from Jill's screentime by being in stories where Jill should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 I wouldn't wish the Victor/Jack/Nikki quad on Jill, though flaunting Beauty of Nature in front of all those desperate characters faces would have been much more interesting and fun had it been Jill doing it. Jess Walton can act circles around Francis. Actually, the irony of that statement just now hit me, as the Lead Actress Emmy in 1997 that was universally expected to go to Genie ended up in Walton's hands for her terrific work in the "Who Shot Victor?" storyline.

Members Khan Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 The only thing Gen generates is lethargy and disinterest on the part of the viewers. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, she does or says carries any impact whatsoever. Y&R could recast her tomorrow w/ the mop they used for GF's stand-in at GH and it'd make absolutely no difference in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Can someone please tell them Yvonne is not Madeline, I don't care to see her on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Wouldn't it be hysterical if MAB thought she was Madeline, though? MAB (at Y&R Christmas party): Your scenes from last Thursday were incredible, Yvonne! I always KNEW there was a reason why I liked you the most on "The Nanny"! YZ: But...I wasn't on "The Nanny". MAB: You weren't? Oops. Uh...well...uh...some party, huh? Followed, of course, by MAB's quick getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 :lol: Oh I SO vote for this. Think of how much more entertaining Y&R would be if Eric Braeden was having love scenes with a mop. Jill dresses up like a geisha to get pictures of Victor with the Mop. Nikki chugs down a bottle of Vodka after realizing Victor has left her for a mop. The mop has meetings with each character who wants BON as they beg the Mop to sign it over to them. But before it gets the chance, Colin comes back and kidnaps the mop. They should totally go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
