Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I can't with them teasing that Dru might be coming back either. Either bring her back (along with VR) or don't mention her and use her image as promotion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members full hearts Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 No, Sharon never went searching for her Dad. She did have a conversation with Victor back in 2003 and mentioned that her father was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 8, 2013 Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 For someone who hasn't been on Y&R in years, SID sure love's to use VR to attempt to create intrigue! I bet if you laid each cover for the last 30 years out on a giant display, you could really see a sharp change in where the daytime soaps are now compared to decades past. These covers...uh, wow.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 I know it's not CBS teasing it but they've (CBS & Sony too) said in so many words that they don't want anything to do with VR, so they should stress SID to not tease a return.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 It almost goes without saying that whenever the stories begin to dry up, tptb rush to their old standby...Sharon's physical needs. The only thing I actually like is she has a voice of reason in her ear, in the therapist. I'd actually like to see some scenes of actual deep therapy sessions, where they probe Sharon's thoughts, memories and subconscious for the keys to unlocking these problems that her character has been saddled with over the years. It's really the only way to get anything meaningful from all the dreck of storylines that's been shoveled her way over the years. As for other characters with ailments, they should be showing, not telling us about how Nikki is living with MS. A five day a week, serialized drama offers the rare opportunity to show things like how a certain character is living with a disease. It seems as though Y&R would rather promote themselves as being aware of the issue, rather than writing about how a person lives with the actual disease. I have a friend whose Mother has had MS for over 20 years, so I know that every body copes differently and some, like my friend's Mom, live generally active lives but we don't even see Nikki dealing with the emotional aspects of a life changing disease. We basically see her mildly flirt with her Doctor and tell Victoria to write some children's books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 Aside from the past Leslie/Gus/Tyler scenes, none of Y&R's current stories have any depth. They are very superficial. People are simply doing random things that make little sense. JG is incapable of portraying these characters in way that gives them any kind of meaningful substance.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 The Carmine, Lauren affair held my interest for awhile but now it appears the thrill is gone. Now I can only anticipate what level of shrill sounds Phyllis will be making when she finds out that Jack sired Summer and not her fantasy man, Nick. Better get the earplugs ready (lol).

Members Ann_SS Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 I was enjoying the Lauren/Carmine affair for awhile also, but JG forgot to give the affair any depth. Showing Lauren and Carmine connecting on a personal level beyond those sex scenes would have explained why she continued the affair and was reluctant to reunite with Michael at first. But JG had to use the airtime for repetitive scenes for the awful Nick/Avery/Dylan/Chelsea/Adam story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted June 10, 2013 Members Share Posted June 10, 2013 The show has been boring lately. Michael/Lauren/Carmine has run out of steam and I was enjoying that the most. Still interested in Leslie & Tyler and kind of enjoying the Summer paternity story but the scenes are hit/miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
