Members Chris B Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 One thing I'm thankful to Maria Arena Bell for, is the Marge storyline. THAT was the only send off I'll consider when remembering Katherine. I loved that she gave a woman of her age a frontburner storyline and I LOVED all the little ties to the history of the show. Also, the funeral was more touching than anything they are trying to do now. Where IS everybody? Where are Nina, Brock, Mac, Dina and the rest of Katherine's family? There is still time, but i predict they'll mostly blow Katherine off with a short tribute then move on. It's typical of JFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 I forced myself to watch the Katheirne parts of today's eppy, and so this is their idea of an umbrella storyline? Gather a bunch of people in Kay's living room in the middle of a thunderstorm? At least the thunder made better tension than the FOJ piece of garbage background music would. Once again, people writing this show that do not know how to do a payoff. This is how you do a payoff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV6OeCDL6iM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well according to Nelson Branco, Thom Bierdz won't be returning for Katherine's funeral. And Nelson's having.a total attack, saying he's boycotting Y&R, and talking about how MAB brought the gays to Genoa City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 This doesn't bode well. Why not have such a critical character if he is willing? Oh thats right, they are afraid he will remind the viewers that Cane is a con and NOT related to Jill or Kay...that Cane is NOT Phillip Chancellor. TPTB, write this down. We already know. And no one but Lane fans think the con should lead this story or inherit a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 I would be having an attack, too! I mean, would it kill JFP to have him on for one episode? Maria did stupid things, but at least she didn't bring TOTAL destruction. What the show really needed was Maria as Executive producer, and Kay as Head writer. PERIOD.

Members cattykittens Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 I wonder why? TB can't be expensive and he's always been willing to return before. They don't have to give him many lines, just standing & sitting by Jill would suffice. I wonder what's up, I'd think that would be an easy one. Who's having an attack Nelson Branco or Thom Bierdz?

Members Vizion Posted August 17, 2013 Members Share Posted August 17, 2013 One last note about Monday's US show, JW was the only one who was semi-decent (and I love me some MTS but just yeah, she phoned that in). On to another topic, has anyone seen Nelson's latest dish? Come on in here for this spoiler folks, I'm sure there will be lots of discussion about it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 Back to the actual on-screen happenings: just watched Friday's show and thought it was pretty good. The thunderstorm quick cuts annoyed the crap out of me, as the looooong Villy scenes but the gathering at the Chancellor mansion was a nice set-up. I liked the old school idea with the post cards (of course it would have been much rather if at least ONE person like Brock, Nina, Mac or Phillip had shown up as a "surprise" guest!?) But boy, what kind of an ending was that? This is the beginning of the end of KAY CHANCELLOR for god's sake. The directing/composition was BAD. Taking a look at the classic clip alphanguy74 has posted above shows you how weak the production values on this show are. Thanks JFP for helming this kind of amateur theatre!

Members soapsnstuds Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 Am surprised Jill Farren Phelps hasn't already found an excuse to put Dullan on five days of the week. If this turns out to be true, she will find a way to put him on six days of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm glad you mentioned the directing and composition, it is truly terrible these days and the show (and the actors) are suffering for it. This show has lost every single ounce of the glam it once had (and I thought it did maintain some of it under MAB) - but it's completely gone now. Words can not express how much I hated Friday's show and hate today's show even more though. It looked like a damn game of Clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members detroitpiston Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 Jess Walton is already killing me, Melody and even Eric are pretty good too. This show is so ABC Daytime now, those Avery/Nick/Sharon scenes specifically. If Sharon Case and Jessica Collins can make it out of this ok I'll be surprised, they're being handed the JFP standard female characterizations.
