Members DRW50 Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 What are the twists and turns? Ricky was an obvious psycho from the start. The only real interest may be if someone finds the actor hot, which I never really did. Even hating Phyllis doesn't add up to much, as she will emerge unscathed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMTwkND3zDk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I loved it to, the only problem is the payoff would have been better if it was Ricky who confronted Phylis with it, this should have been the main focus, not a way for Daisy to blackmail Phylis. This story actually got me to tune back in, and not just because I found him hot, with Cricket being back it was the perfect time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 28, 2012 I agree. I was loving Ricky vs Phyllis and I think the storyline could've gone for months and months. But instead they had Daisy trying to blackmail Phylis with that information? Bad decision. I think Ricky exposing Phyllis for the hit-and-run would've been good and maybe framing Phyllis for Daisy's death or disappearence. It's not surprising the potential was wasted.

Members Skin Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Watching this show makes me physically angry. They brought up Cassie today in that scene with Micheal and Nick and I just kept thinking about how Nick being in Phyllis sphere is just so damn unnatural that it makes it so hard to even imagine this show as Y&R. The scene between Micheal and Nick shouldn't have happened because they shouldn't even be in each others stories. This show is such a sham this days. A complete sham.

Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Exactly! It was refreshing to see someone go up against Phylis who wasn't some female. They could have really started a new rivalry for her, having them try to one up each other. There was no point to make Ricky go out the way he is, if they wanted to touch on Isabella being his mother, then they could have definitely played up his devious side, she wasn't always crazy...she was just desperate. And I liked his contentious relationship with Paul, who is every bit of a deadbeat. But as you said, it's not surprising the potential was wasted. Not just the story, but the actor, he could have made a good leading man, if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 So Daniel is going to be a murder suspect for...two episodes? Huh? We needed Ronan back for THIS? Nina is in LA? Wha? Heather was way too aggressive today, and Michael also. "Just doing our jobs" my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nina should be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ronan was brought back to GC by Victor to find Abby. Phyllis only asked Ronan after she saw him in station. (Even Nick didn't tell Phyllis that Ronan was coming back.) ITA with the others that the whole Ricky/Phyllis and Daisy/Phyllis rivalries had much more potential than they were given.

Members Cat Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 As is usually the case with actors who are fired, they do a lot of their best work after the boom has been lowered. Ricky as the cold, calm-headed psycho with his Hitler haircut has embraced the role and it shows. That scene where he chased Eden around the hotel room and into the bathroom genuinely freaked me out. Oh, and when PP kissed the actress earlier in the episode, I got the distinct impression that the actress enjoyed the kiss (even if Eden is only meant to be pretending). IA though that this story should have been about Ricky exposing Phyllis, though. God forbid we deal honestly with Phyllis as a character. I could get behind Chloe and Ronan, if only because Chloe & Kevin are so dire ("I'm taken, in every sense of the word" -- barf at that visual). I like Abby & Carmine and think Carmine is some badly-needed bare-chested hotness on the show. So sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Chelsea is a good girl? I haven't seen her in months but when I did she came across as a lying gold digging scheming bitch. Did they give her the Genavieve treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just watched today's US episode! Doug Davidson once again proves how woefully underrated he is. He and PP were pretty compelling to watch. The montage at the end was "meh" but at least we end Friday with a bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BingCherry Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 According to some of the day-ahead folks in Canada, they got a new opening today and we should be getting it on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
