Y&R: October 2012 Discussion Thread

WOW... that ain't been done in almost 20 years. And the lighting is looking better, too. So far, so good.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

20 years is a bit of an exaggeration. It used to be done more frequently pre-Latham.

So Michael lets Ronan keep his badge after his mass cover up to protect Phyllis - the propping continues...

[frequentsoapfan]

Is Ronan FBI still or just a detective?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I hate ghost John Abbott, he always sounds like a damn hypocrite (tomorrow's US episode).

[frequentsoapfan]

I always forget when he's returning. I also am as bad as Jack I guess cuz I never pay attention to his advice.

I read a spoiler about Sharon that says she has health issues. <- highlight

Did anyone pick up the latest mag to elaborate on this?

[DRW50]

I keep hoping this is the end. I didn't even like him that much when he was alive.

[dragonflies]

more like what Ryan and Greenlee were to AMC or Jason and Sonny are to GH

While I'm pissed how Phyllis got off free, I'm loving the story of Jack taking over Newman. After all the times Victor took away Jabot from Jack, glad to see Jack take something away from Victor.

I also like to hear that Restless Style is dying, hopefully this means Billy starts working for Jabot. That's where he needs to be.

Ghost John, I liked it at first, but if they are going to keep bringing ghost John back all the time, why did they ever kill him off to begin with?

[frequentsoapfan]

I asked the same question about Ghost John long ago under MAB and someone said they got angry during contract negotiations and decided to kill him.

[wingwalker]

So from yesterday's show, is that the end of the mystery woman stalker of Cane story? If so, talk about a story that ended before it even started. Not wasting time ending MAB's shitty stories.

[frequentsoapfan]

I missed that part.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I think she ties into Genevieve's (who can't leave fast enough) exit.

Tomorrow's US episode has some great camera angles, especially the Sharon scenes. Hate JFP all you want, but at least she cares about these details. There's been a noticeable difference in the way this show is directed lately. Sally McDonald directed tomorrow btw and I think she's back to directing regularly again. Under Maria's tenure, where there was a lack of leadership, even great directors like Mike Denney, Noel Maxam, and Sally McDonald were turning in bland work.

[DRW50]

All the behind the scenes details are very interesting, moreso than the show itself. I'm glad you and others are keeping us up to date.
