Y&R: January 2014 Discussion Thread

Considering how crazy the Michael Muhney exit was in the press I don't think they're stupid enough to touch the Adam character for YEARS. We'll see, but I don't see them opening themselves up to this in six months time. The show doesn't need Adam and needs to just move on.

My thoughts exactly. I just don't see them recasting that character. Especially with Dylan on canvas who plays the exact same role creatively that Adam did.

If that one SL is Tyler/Abby and Mariah, then I am in total agreement. Honestly, someone needs to check MO's pulse because only a dead woman could fail to generate heat with RW. Topping that off, the writers insist on making Abby spoiled, flighty, and whiny.

That one was okay but I was talking about Michael/Lauren. I am glad that at the end we finally saw Carmine so maybe we can finally move forward with the story.

Abby was getting on nerves and yes she was whiny. I wish the last Abby hadn't went to GH.

I think that they are ending all the JG stories this month. Great! I am ready to move on.

I keep seeing people say this, but I think it's far from true. Nikki's good son does not fill the same role that Victor's black sheep son did. Dylan is never going to rival anyone for control of Newman or a place as Victor's heir. That was Adam's place, not just being a non Nictor kid.

Still, if they ever bring Adam back, I think they might as well wait a year or two. I don't see much advantage in bringing him back any sooner than that.

Also, it wouldn't shock anyone if a man like Victor had another child out there somewhere. Maybe they should just go that route and clean the slate.

By the time Adam was gone he was not rivaling anyone for a place as Victor's heir. He was basically Jack's surrogate son. I agree that I don't see Dylan in the business world at all. But he is definitely a romantic rival to Nick, something Adam once was, and causing conflict with Nikki/Victor (Something Adam never did). So instead of saying he plays the same role, I will say he plays a similar role. And that is close enough to not need Adam.

Billy Miller and Michael Muhney.... Gosh, how will Y&R survive without those two acting deities?!

Every time either of these two had large chunks of dialogue, the whole thing becomes a scenery-chewing joke -- big, hammy exposition and gun-waving. I feel zero connection to perfect cipher-child Delia at this point. They only did well in near-silence, like when Chelsea called Adam in the car and begged him to come back, and both men listened almost in tears.

Lots of people here feel bad that Chloe hasn't been more central to story and major scenes -- I say THANK goodness! What a miserable, negative wench she is. I get she's lost her kid, but Chloe has always been like this. Belittling her mother (who has never said an unkind word to her), belittling Kevin, belittling her BFF Chlesea. Everybody's all Oh, gosh, we'd better make Chloe godmother of Connor! She'll be so upset if we don't! We'd better go say goodbye to Chloe, she'd never forgive us if we left without saying goodbye! That nasty, jealous cow? Chelsea, go get yourself some better friends. And now she's all up Chelsea's ass. "You knew about this! You never told me! I'll never forgive you! I'll never talk to you again!" Silver linings!

With that said.... Chelsea. Ha HA! No Paris for YOU, insta-fashion designer! With your orange spray-tan and distracting nails. BTW, girl has more chemistry with Eric Braeden than with Michael Muhney.

God, BoreToria. Why are they trying to make her look like she's been stewing in her own juices for a full week? That was some atrocious acting with the running up the stairs and "No Daddy NO!" when she looked like she was laughing instead of crying.

Victor, what a disgusting character you are. Honestly, if Victor died tomorrow, I wouldn't give a sh!t. He's been withholding the truth about Adam for WEEKS and blackmailing him about it. While his wife organises the Delia fundraiser! And yet this guy is meant to be the voice of dignity and comfort now? The way he told the arresting officers to get lost ("Ah ahm VICTUH NUH-MUN! Officers, ah will call yew when Adam returns home, m'kay?") and slammed the door in their faces? Telling Chelsea to look after mah grandson? Taking it upon himself to tell BoreToria the terrible news? F u ck you scumbag! I hope Jack nails him to the wall for this and Summer's insta-pill-popping.

Perfectly summarized.

That Delia storyline has been terrible on nearly all levels due to the feautured characters/actors and I'm eternally grateful that we are rid now of both Muhney and Miller. Chloe and Chelsea should soooo be next in line to unemployment...

The show hasn't been entertaining WITH them up until yesterday's episode and that was only because it was the climax of the Delia hit and run story.

That car crash was definitely the most interesting part, imo.

  • Member

So, MAB lied to MM or changed her mind about Adam. Because it is obvious that he is dead. But then again, this is a soap.

Nothing is obvious to me at this stage. The fact that everyone is saying " no one could survive" in the previews makes me think someone did.

  • Member

The ending today was great as well. Of course it was Adam in the car..interesting how they got rid of him...lol....I thought for sure he was the one that walked away from the accident. Of course when he returns he will have a new face because of the explosion and no one will recognize him or know who he is.

Great that he is back!

First, not to be snarky, but how about using some punctuation? As written, this make almost no sense at all. Second, when I watched the recent episodes of Young and the Restless, I saw Shelly Altman's name along with Passanante's. In fact, above Passanante's. Why should praise be lavished on Passanante but not Altman?

Can everyone praise ms jean Passanante and finally start her arrival has been great for y and r.

Cat, your post on pg 39 was spot on.

Victoria! Go to your room and don't come back until Robin Christopher signs on!

HA! HA!HA! CHELSEA STBY AS USUAL. Go wash off that overdone spray tan then go see Cane. He only lit up when it looked like you might be his next love interest.

Jill, Jill where are you?

The end credits looked Sooooooooooo good without Muhney or Miller in them!

Adios Senor Smarmy...I guess someone out there will miss you. IT SURE WON'T BE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously,though, we need a day off from AH.

So glad the Adam show is over!!! And, before anyone asks, no, I don't care about Dullan but I don't find him as annoying as Adam/MM.
