Members DaytimeFan Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 I enjoyed Sally Sussman Morina's work on DAYS, particularly the creation and introduction of Nicole Walker and Nancy and Craig Wesley. Plus the Nurse Ali storyline with Mike Horton and Carrie Brady kicked off under her reign. Now, does that mean she's a great fit at Y&R as a HW? No. But I dare say she'd be a damn sight better than Jean Passante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Today's episode was all from Billy's POV as he was standing at the scene. BM's acting does nothing for me though and I never cared for Delia and found that little actress annoying. Older Delia was kind of homely and had an annoying cutesy voice. For all the talk about this lifetime legacy for Delia we didn't ever really see her with the Abbotts, Jill or Katherine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Chloe gets "reaction scenes"...a mother loses her only child whom she has raised her entire life and all she gets are "reactions scenes". While Billy Abbot gets a full story about him. This is a prime example of what is wrong with this show. A story like this should have lasting consequences on all involved. Not just Billy Miller getting an emmy reel. Things should never be the same for any of them. If things go back to the way they were in 6 months, then this would have been a waste of time. Chloe as a character deserves more than reaction scenes. She was definitely brought out to prop Kevin. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 But you don't know what she's going to get yet, you're just assuming. Just because Billy got most of the scenes today, doesn't mean that will be the case going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Agreed...however, it was your prediction I was responding to...and past behavior is the best predictor for future behavior. I am going off of the visions Billy had too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 This happened on GH too... Jake's death became all about Jason's pain and Elizabeth's pain was ignored Speaking of one of the Delia actresses I could've seen her as an aged Delia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 I can see it now...Chloe comforting Billy and worrying about him without nary a mention of her own pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thats why imo it doesnt matter who the new HW is, this is a JFP show PERIOD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 If u look at the ratings why is JFP y and r been consistently higher then Maria's I mean last week they had episode hit 5 million. Jill ain't going anywhere. Her ratings are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 that's what they said about her Santa Barbara, Another World, One Life to Live, Guiding Light and General Hospital and look at what happened to those soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Exactly. She had her rating highs and then they immediately dropped once she did something stupid to beloved veteran characters. Give Jill time. She'll eff it up like always.

Members Juliajms Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 I wasn't making a prediction, I was using a particular phrase, maybe not the best one. I would have couched what Billy got today as "reaction scenes" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yeah, that ratings comparison was used on MAB a year after LML left, soooooooooo.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Judging from the canadian recaps for next Mon's show, thats def what she gets and its a muted reaction, I suspect Peeps aint gonna like this show, this is def all for Villy!

Members Juliajms Posted October 11, 2013 Members Share Posted October 11, 2013 Liz had a lot of scenes showing her pain. Scenes with Luke reacting to what happened, both angry with him and forgiving him. Scenes with plenty of people discussing how guilty she felt about letting him get outside. Didn't she nearly kill herself on the roof of the hospital? The bigger issue for me was the Josslyn side. There was really no build up to her illness, it all just felt flat and weak to me. The aftermath has been equally uninspiring. With Cassie they've really done a good job with the aftermath, even all these years later. Sharon and Nick still feel her loss and acknowledge the anniversaries of her birth and death. Are they going to do the same with Delia? Either answer seems problematic to me. My biggest issue with this story is that it's repetitive. Next is that the stakes for Connor aren't high enough. It doesn't have the same poignancy that the Maxie/BJ story had because this isn't a matter of life and death. Seems unlikely since the show went out of it's way to show Chloe didn't want the dog and that she feels Billy is irresponsible and the "fun" one.
