Y&R: December 2013 Discussion Thread

it's possible that they may need to go with Noah vs. Devon, who knows?

This Kyle thing has been shaky for some time. Blake Hood's Kyle didn't strike me as being very business savvy, he seemed more like a wannabe playboy playing at being an executive and Sawyer's Kyle was much sharper but he dwarfs pretty much everyone in his set (and many actors are surprisingly diminutive) and he had a rough start to boot.

I honestly have no clue what TPTB have in store for the Devon character. I wonder if they know?

Other than pairing him with Hilary and possibly providing money for cane to buy and run the biotech company, I don't think they have a clue what to do with Devon. He already told Jack it wasn't music. So I know they aren't going that route.

I wouldn't mind seeing Devon and Noah fight over Hilary.

For all of Josh Morrow's supposed faults as an actor (re: this board), he sure gets a lot of work. I don't see his episode count in any danger.

I think he has great chemistry with Hunter King, and he's been doing good work in general. The comments on this board are sometimes good for laughs, though, when people write as if they know what's happening on the set.

I don't personally see where anyone on this board has indicated that they know what is going on behind the scenes, in people's dressing rooms, etc. Discussion often involves surmising and speculation (see words such as " I wonder...")

And saying that JM is not the strongest actor is not a slight against the actor but look at his history on the show, compare it with his Emmy count, he's no Julianne Moore. That's just the way it is. Personally, I think JM is an affable personality but he won't be among the contingent of soap actors making the leap from daytime fandom to Primetime Emmy or Oscar races and that's fine.

People's opinions are subjective but we do have the right to express them freely on a discussion board as you've expressed your opinion. I think the only individual trying to equate opinion with fact, ranger1rg, is you.

Jill vs Hillary was really exciting. It works because 1) Jill rarely comes in contact with a young, driven, beautiful female and doesn't hate them on the spot 2) Jill is allowed to be nasty, condescending, distrustful, a bitch...

In other words, she's written in character. Wow... what a novelty!

I just hope they don't force the issue of their rivalry and hatred. Nobody wants to make Kay vs Jill 2.0... let it happen organically.

The hair needs help though. She's probably just growing it out before she can style it properly but still... add to it, make it big and fluffy!

JW'S hair looked awful and so did TEB, but I don't care about her. Lauren always looks flawless, but her hair is processed and damaged to the Gawds! Jess needs to cut that hair. A woman her age does not look good with all of that hair on her shoulders. She looks like a witch!

I have to say the highlight of Friday's episode's were the Jill and Jack and Lily and Hilary scenes! CK is really good with the bitchy insults and I love how Jill and Jack were remembering old times.......

Apparently people said they used the classic score on friday's show??? I just finished watching it and didn't hear any of it.....

There is more than one type of bitch. Everyone doesn't have to deliver lines like JW to make the material work. Hilary is sexy bitch. No matter who she is talking to she has a slow, sex kitten delivery in her snark. Nikki is a snobby bitch. Victoria is a breathless bitch. Chloe is a brittle sour bitch. Jill is a pretentious bitch. Phyllis was a rabid crazy bitch. Dru was a confrontational bitch. And lily is a spoiled princess bitch. All bitches with different takes on line delivery and body language which produces different yet satisfying results.

I can't believe I am defending CK...what has this world come to?

Spoiled princess bitch! That's exactly what it was. And CK came alive for the first time in 7 years. Little Miss Saccharine never worked because most of the audience never bought CK as that. But this works perfectly, and I would be happy with seeing more of it. Is CK on contract or still recurring?

    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying. 
    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
