Me too!

I see Victor Jr is manhandling a female tomorrow

I didn't reply when you posted this because I did not know if what was shown in the flashback really happened. I love what happens on Monday's show re: Adam and Billy. tongue.png

LOL. Isn't sleeping with someone's spouse (even your sibling's spouse), the VERY FOUNDATION of soaps? smile.png

Not the "your sibling's spouse" part.

What do you want to bet that when this baby is born, Jas- oops, I mean Dylan will do just what Jason did and won't care that the baby is not his...he will do everything in his power to help Chelsea keep that baby from Adam. He might even not care that she lied and say he loves her anyway.

It's happened before on soaps. I think it would be boring though. I would much rather see Dylan and Avery reunite due to this betrayal.

While I wouldn't say that infidelity with a sibling's spouse (or ex spouse) is at the foundation of soaps, it has clearly been a soap staple for generations now. That Kim/Bob/Jennifer Hughes storyline took place as far back as the 1970s. I have no idea whether they were the first but they certainly were not the last to do this type of story.

As for Y&R:

I've been watching episodes (when I can/feel like it) on headphones and the sound quality is just Awful! Lots of warbled, garbled background noise that interferes with the actual dialog of the scenes. Most of the music is out of place and only distracts from whatever is supposed to be going on.

Maybe if I weren't so bored by most scenes, I wouldn't notice these things as much.

I'm pretty sure that Jo's sister Eunice had an affair with Jo's husband Arthur back in the 50's on SEARCH FOR TOMORROW.

If they want a contemporary SL... maybe they should do a whole sexting scandal type of thing. I mean, it's current. And i'm sure Muhney would be up for such a SL.

I also know TPTB at this show too well to believe that Tyler and Abby will be anything long term or serious (KSJ has said way too many times that they don't do THAT kind of IR). Despite the chemistry or how well the couple is received, I don't think they will stick with it.

Diversity! :lol:

Well he did cross-dress once before. And I'm not watching the show, so they can do whatever they want with him. It's not like I'm running the risk of spitting out my lunch while I watch him.

Was Jennifer still alive when Bob and Kim got together?

That picture of MM is gross. Like nausea inducing gross.

Oh please we bring over everything else to this board. Its not about Avery being hated. Hate away but it's not a crime on a soap for someone to sleep with someone's spouse.

LOL, I am hyst telling you what Toups wanred us about in the July thread, .................do you!

Of course siblings swapping partners is a norm for soaps, doesn’t mean the audience wont hate hate one of the siblings for interfering with their couple. I am sure Kim had her fair shares of haters for getting involved with her sisters husband, or maybe even Jennifer wasn’t liked by the Bob/Kim fans way back when on AYWY. Hell affairs are def a staple of soaps and we all know A LOT are still biotching bout one almost a decade later LOL!

Uh, yeah............ 1975. Lorie. Leslie. Brad. Then 1978. Jill. Stuart. Liz. Mother/duaghter fighting over a man! Bill Bell liked to keep it in the family.

The only story I want to see Adam in is one where he dies.

Not until MM dresses up like The Joker for Halloween - can't stop thinking about that after seeing that expression on his pantless pic! Anyway, Adam isn't the problem, it's the way the writers bungled Adam and Victor's relationship. Adam SHOULD be the favored son - Victor, Jr., after all. He was the only one who accomplished what a self-made man like Victor would dream for his children - higher education, Wall Street, a pure businessman. Instead, we've got RidicNulous, who really should be a stoner, trust fund kid and pathetic VicBoria - based on recast (all one has to do is watch July's scenes of HT as a businesswoman and we know how this past decade could have played out so differently at Newman. The writers got this wrong from the start-they've had not one, but TWO strong actors who could hold their own against EB and they've blown it.

Who are the two who can hold their own? Because they sure aren't among the actors currently playing Victor's kids.

Heather Tom as Victoria

Chris Engen as Victor Jr aka Adam

Personally I think Victoria in her current form could be just as great except AH is acting like a zombie and has been for years.
