Y&R: October 2012 Discussion Thread

Khan, I think you just got Doug Davidson fired from the show! LOL

I totally expect him off-contract within the year. Too much $$$ and zero chemistry with love interests at this point.

I might be wrong-headed for saying this, but I do think it's time Y&R called it a day with Paul Williams. For one thing, Ricky is dead, and Heather might as well be. (After three actresses have come and gone in that role, I think the role is simply un-castable and should be written off for good.) With Patty in the nut house and beyond redemption, one brother working out-of-town as a priest, and another brother (not to mention, both parents) apparently vanished from the face of the earth, Paul has no strong family ties in GC anymore.

Moreover, his is not an occupation which lends itself easily to story. If he were a doctor, let's say, or an attorney -- or heck, if he just owned a restaurant, like Gina Roma did -- then at least he could serve as a supporting character whose place of business allows him to interact with others in ways that are natural to the story. However, unless someone is in need of a private investigator (and really, this isn't EDGE OF NIGHT, so who needs a private eye that often?), Paul is screwed on the job/business front as well.

Doug though is one of the few actors on canvas who consistently acts..

Plus, who hasn't been paired up with Paul by now? (Please don't say Katherine. That's just too damned gross for words.) And after what happened when they reunited him and Nikki, I dread doing the same for him and Lauren.

True. But it isn't his fault that this show has marginalized his character to the point of pointlessness.

There's always Esther. I'm personally dying for Nina to catch Paul in bed with her. Or Katherine.

Or JILL...

I was loving Nikki with Deacon.

I got alot of laughs out of that couple. Nikki walking around town smug as hell calling Sharon and Jill names when she was banging her new boyfriend in a roach infested motel. One one board we joked that she was paying for his son's schooling as well because B&B said he was paying for his son's school while on Y&R he was broke as hell.

Please, I'd rather see Paul hook up with Aunt Esther.

  • Member

I'd rather see that too!

I wonder if Debbi Morgan would've clicked with Doug?

Not that Debbi should've played Aunt Esther...

Why not? It would have been much better than the character she did play.

Nikki is the BIGGEST HYPOCRITE on Y&R, and we love her for it!

Oh and she cheated on him too! She cheated then wanted to buy an apartment with him like nothing happened.

Phyllis wins by a hair.

Heather's hair has dramatically improved since that awful debut look. I still don't know what MAB was thinking. It was such an odd shade of red. She looks good now. Just a shame she's probably leaving. I hope since her exit hasn't been confirmed and the others have, that there is still hope.
