Y&R: February 2014 Discussion Thread

Why would Mariah be CK in a dual role? Tyler said they were similar not that they were doppelgangers.

[ajsp35801]

There has been much speculation about whether CK will play dual roles. It's possible, I suppose. I am interested to see if the speculation was founded.

Mariah has the same tattoo on her wrist that CK does. Could be coincidence.

The only scenes I enjoyed today were Jill/Billy/Victoria. It felt like bad old times again waiting for the Cane/Colin/Jill scenes to end and thinking that Cane and Colin are taking away screen time from my favorites. Similar thing with the stunt casting with Tuttera and Neil. Very MABish. I wanted to post this last night when I watched it but it's not much fun discussing the day ahead in spoiler tags.

I am not feeling Tutera doing the Neslie wedding either. However, my mother LOVES it. It's believable being that he is a big name in the business and Neil and Leslie are wealthy folks. However, it would be better if it were a couple with some staying power. I might be able to get into the novelty of it of all. For as much as I want to love Neslie, I don't. And all this drama surrounding her marrying him will only payoff if she cancels or stands him up at the alter. Hopefully, she is already married to someone else who shows up to crash it or she and tyler or running a scam and she feels bad so she doesn't want to go through with it. Otherwise, it is a waste of my time. I gaurantee she marries him though and this is just some manufactured drama that will mean nothing in the grande scheme of things. I hate when the writers do this for the Winters that is NOT a story at all.

I can't stand Cane and Colin sharing scenes alone. At least with Lily and Jill, I feel like someone I care about is getting airtime. And all Cane's finger wagging annoyed me. He is castigating his father for a scheme (kidnapping kids) that he fully participated in himself. It's all very nauseating. If Lily can be with him, then why can't Jill be with Colin. It's the same side of the same coin.

Tristan Rogers is annoying... He needs to tone down the giggles and roving eyes. he looks sauced or high. He played it that way on GH. His acting chops are definitely diminished.

Well Y and R had its biggest week since 2008 for the Delia climax almost 5.73 million. JFP is having the biggest laugh. I swear this bitch has more lives then anyone. She will be at y and r for years. I can hear JFP saying to MAB to suck it bit@@ch.

Climax ratings don't mean anything, especially if the show dips back down to where it was. They're special circumstances.

The writing for them today was really good. I liked the flashbacks. Still think David Tom is horrible. Jess was very good. She exudes a warmth with Tom I don't believe I've seen before.

Abby drives me nuts. How old is she supposed to be? 14?

And Colin is not my favorite. But the "judicial miracle" doesn't bother me. After the handwaving other writers pull on other soaps, this is nothing.

I can't even remember Cynthia Watros's character's name. She's Annie Dutton. But I like her.

[chicklitsandfantasies]

I know she has a wrist tat. Wasn't that tattooed lady following them around a white woman? It definitely wasn't CK.

[bluejeanbaby3]

She has tats on both wrists - one is a sun tat.

Looked like she could have been CK to me. Skin color, the way she walked. If it was a white woman, she was very tanned.

Tyler asked Mariah if she was still in town on the phone today. I thought that was weird.

[PJA]

The show is back in the dumps again. Today's episode was dull as dishwater. The only intriguing part was them setting up the Kelly/Billy/Victoria/Stitch quad. That seems to be moving along at an even pace, the rest of the stories are taking entirely too long to get the point. Hopefully we will finally see Mariah tomorrow. I'm almost to the point where I don't care.

And the colin mess doesn't deserve any more of my time so that's all I'm going to say about it.

[Antoyne]

So Abby's uncle was just in a car crash that killed her evil half brother that accidentally killed her little cousin, and her biggest concern is off screen Mariah and going to work; not checking on either of her families?

[chicklitsandfantasies]

The tattooed wrist they showed at Christmas was a tanned woman but definitely lighter then CK.

[wingwalker]

I totally agree. Y&R has had a couple of good episodes with the Billy/Adam climax, but overall this show feels lost, doesn't feel like Y&R at all. The other 3 soaps seem to know what they are (even if I don't like the writing), this one doesn't.
