Y&R September Discussion

[~bl~]

I appreciated how much they gave Jess at the beginning of the episode. That being said I bet it was extremely difficult to keep it together.

Yea Brenda had lousey timing for her book to come out. She bashed Jeanne in the first chapter...introduction without naming names. That's about all i read! It's funny, Jeanne rarely said anything bad about Brenda. She recalled one incident in her book but Brenda bashed Jeanne every chance she got in her book. and she hasn't come out publically saying anything about Jeanne's death. For me, i just said, "Well we know who's really the one with problems." Yes she was good for the show and they had legendary fights (Jil and Kay) but Jess has been very good too. The first half of Today's show showed the chemestry between Jess and Jeanne that was always there from the very begining.

I hated the second half with Paul and Christine's wedding. Right infront of Danny and Nina! It wasn't that long ago that Christine was with Danny again. Now she's with Paul again. I hope the marriage goes down the tubes fast because it's what Paul deserves by not choosing Nina.

Cricket married her maybe/maybe not rapist, who's groomsman was her attempted rapist...Gotta love soaps.

I could've sworn she said something publically on Facebook after Jeanne's death about her that was really rude. I don't read her FB page though so anything I saw was copied and pasted to one of the boards.

Here's what Brenda said...

That was nice of Dickson to acknowledge her passing. Somebody said that Dickson thought Cooper had actually died years ago...I don't know if that allegation is actually true or not but I could actually see it being real unfortunately. Regardless, Walton has successfully played the role for twenty-six years now.

Paul and Christine, regardless of how one thought they were boring actually in retrospect had an nice and realistic relationship for several years before the whole "was it rape?" twist that cheapened both characters. The Michael/Christine as colleagues works but the whole Kelly Simmons caper is best forgotten about.

I am just watching today's episode too, and I am crying during this wedding. It really does feel like Y&R right now, with so many old faces and revisiting so many of the old complicates relationships. Never in a million years did I think I would ever see Cricket and Paul married again, with Michael and Nina standing by their side! Wow!

I hope this means we get some more Lauralee now that Cricket has real roots in Genoa City again.

Danny's reactions during the whole thing were priceless.

I will say though, emotionally, I was actually a bigger wreck and Marge's funeral. I wish the same guest list could have been on this episodE: Dina, Traci, Ashley, Liz... their absences are greatly felt.

I liked it better than I was expecting and it was great to see old favorites. I especially liked Jill's portion and am forever grateful they devoted do much time to their relationship.

It didn't really bother me but Paul and Christine's wedding felt so out of place. I wish they had done it later personally even if it was tomorrow.

I kind of liked how they had Paul and Chris remarry......I really hope this means something, because they have to realize that now that Jeanne has passed Doug is now the longest running actor on the show.....I felt bad for Nina and Danny though.....

It really did feel like old times......I do indeed wish that Traci, Ashley and Dina were there though......I'm SHOCKED that Sharon wasn't there, though she probably wouldn't be as welcomed.......and it just it me, no Gloria or Jeff??.....

I liked when Jill called Chris "Cricket" when she was congratulating her.

Nikki and Jill were great at the end too, and I liked when they said "let's see how long this friendship will last", and then they see Katherine's "ghost", very touching.....

So this must be why they have another cop coming

Ignacio Serricchio ‏@Nachoserricchio

So excited to start a new movie next week with the amazing @KevinHart4real @joshgad and @KaleyCuoco

Michael Damian...the hair....no....

[BKuzak]

LOL, he looked better when he was rocking that 80's mullet! They reshowed his Facts Of Life episodes eariler in the year when he was Flyman. Pretty cool.

Now i'm looking foward to Katherine's will being read. and i'm very interested in why Katherine's first husband Gary Reynolds is being mentioned. Although i do question why Jill didn't just ask Brock about his father. If anybody would know about Gary now it would be Brock.

Wasn't Gary the one who actually started Chancellor industries. Then when he died, she met and married PHilip so he could run the business because people would repond more to a man (especially in the 1960's.) Then somehow when Brock died, Katherine ended up running it.

[frequentsoapfan]

People actually cared about Paul and Nina as a couple? For the longest time I wasn't even sure if they were a couple of not because they would never even kiss. They'd only be in scenes together looking like sad puppies. I didn't even care when they broke up because.

[Soapsuds]

I dont know whose dumb idea it was to pair them up. They were/are good friends and thats it.

[Chris B]

Nina and Neil are the obvious couple IMO. Nina would N-E-V-E-R even consider being with Paul considering Christine has been her best friend since childhood. That was a huge betrayal from a writing standpoint and it kills me that Nina and Christine weren't even on screen enough to properly play out the story. I still can't believe MAB did that story. Right now though, they need to put Lauralee Bell on contract if they plan on following through with Christine and Paul's marriage. She's a popular character and she deserves to be on the frontburner, as does Paul. It's time to bring her back.
