Y&R: June 2013 Discussion Thread

Tyler is wasted on CKLily, but has made her watchable for the first time ever. She actually is alert and engaged around him.

This the best she has been since she was a teen. I think it is because she is finally in an age appropriate SL. One that does not require CK to do too much acting.

I don't think the writing is bad for Lily. A better actress could make Lily entertaining. No matter what they write for CK she's a boring drip.

CK brings little personality to Lily. EH gives Chloe spunk and personality. MR and the new actress gives Abby personality. CK makes Lily a wilted, wet, flower. Lily is the daughter of Dru. It makes little sense that she is allowed to play the character as she does.

But for years, JM has been allowed to play Nick like an athlete frat boy rather than the Newman heir which was made worse because Heather Tom did play Victoria like the Newman heir. Y&R like other soaps will put up with crappy actors and acting and convince themselves that it is great because some fans in a focus group say that it is.

I don't think anyone at Sony or Y&R has any desire to see Victoria written as a Newman heir. That's one of the reasons Heather Tom left.

They might as well have hired Susan Batten in the role then..ph34r.png

Josh Morrow didn't begin playing Nick as an overgrown fratboy until he was paired with Giggly.

He's never been the best actor but he did a solid job with the material.

Jack Smith choosing Nick & Sharon over Victoria was one of his worst mistakes.

Of course they will pair Cane and Victoria...just as surely as Cane will be CEO of Chancellor. I still say that if he had stayed a Chancellor, he would not still be with Lily. She only got stuck with him because no way would they sully a Newman or an Abbot with the rachetness and lies of that nobody. No way would he have gaslighted Victoria or Abby...Sharon, yes.

Based on DG's article on SON's main page, Cane will get cozy with

his new assistant Hillary. That figures since Lane fans been crying racism and swearing up and down that TPTB don't want Cane with Lily cuz she's black. Meanwhile, I read that RW said in SID that Tyler gets intrigued by Abby.

Did it mention that Lily meets the bridge that Dru fell off of. If they aren't willing to get rid of Ck, I wouldn't mind they write out her and Neil.

Neil is so boring a s a standalone character. I wouldn't mind a new black family phasing the Winters out

Agreed about Nick. Instead if TPTB force these actors to play characters the way they are meant to be played, which would enhance the show, they tailor the character to the actors wants. Nick us a prime example of this. Owning a night club and not wanting to be involved with Newnan has JM written all over it. Afterall, them making Nick into the heir apparent and pushing Victoria out if the spot is why Heather Tom left,or so I read. That was pointless it seems. Now Adam is the only Newman Enterprises heir, which really galls me. Just think, Victoria Newman writing children's books. If you had told me this in the late 90's...

JM seems to now be playing himself...if you follow him on twitter you will understand what I mean. There is little distinction between the character and actor.

It might start out that way with Cane and the assistant but that won't stick. Its intermediate to shush the cries if racism that will surely come. Besides, who wants to see Cane, the none core character not from a core family, paired with a newbie. That will be about as thrilling as Dylan being with Chelsea. Nope...I suspect this new chick is not long term and if so, will be with Noah...I wish she was for Devon. It would be good drama between Lily and Devon if he fell for her after Cane cheated with her...just like it would have been good drama if Devon had gotten with Chloe after Delia was born.

We can have more than one black family at a time. No need to get rid of the Winters for that to happen. No one ever talks about getting rid if Newmans, Abbots, or Baldwin/Fishers when new white folks show up.
