Members MoTheGreat Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wish the writer wrote in for Neil. I don't feel like I am a whole man. Devon be there for Hilary anyway you can. This way Neil can't be mad if they hook up, when he starts to see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 That would be almost like what happened among Bill, Brooke and Katie on B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well, these writers on Y&R right now, likes to borrow other story lines. Why not this one??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 This really is not out of the realm of possibility at this point. I can see a scenario where Neil asks Devon to take Hilary places that he can't or won't so that she can get out of the house. Movies, dinner, dancing, ballet...you know, on dates.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 Don't even remind me. I dropped in and out of the last decade of ATWT because some of those stories were not worth the time and effort for me. I was in school too, so I had ample excuse to stop watching for months at a time. With the way JP likes to 'borrow' old ATWT storylines, I suspect that Victoria will somehow end up tied to railroad tracks. Terry Lester's Jack sure as hell would've read that paper! Jack should have snapped a picture with his cell phone camera at least. I too thought...'What the what! Who is this man?!' I was thinking that's the only way to make this triangle the least bit interesting. Regardless, we know Neil will end up with a new lady love five minutes after he breaks up with Hillary (maybe even 5 minutes before) because that's all they make Neil do these days. Whoever said the conclusion of the Music Box story was a big Dud, boy were they ever speaking truth to power! I suspected that it wouldn't turn out to much but even this fell beneath my low expectations. What foolishness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 I am convinced they did this story because they wanted to try Neil and Hilary on the odd chance that they took off before they went all out with Hevon. KSJ is the lead and they wanted to give him the opportunity. That is all. This would have been the very story that majority of viewers could have gotten behind and enjoyed. I don't think anyone would begrudge Neil owning a company nor competing with Jack and Victor. But for some reason, this is against the ground rules of the show.

Members ChitHappens Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 I will NEVER believe there was any desire to make sure a black character/actor had any opportunity, especially when the network still caters to old bigots long past the key demo! This was so that Hevon didn't take off, but they did anyhow. A young black successful pairing on a CBS? Hell no, so before we give them Hevon, let's soil her with Neil first. Half the fans will lose interest by the time they get together! TRUST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 Jean is promising us a big Ashley storyline business modern day Audrey Hepburn style story. Jean wrote a lot for Colleen Zenk on ATWT. She sounds very excited about her big story for Ashley I mean she can't do any worse then what MAB did to her.

Members MoTheGreat Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 What get me mad about Y&R, why Neil had to sell his bar or whatever it is but the Newman can branch out to do other ventures. They already running the perfume line or whatever they do at NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 If true, this is truly sad! Then that would mean, the enduring quality of couples like Angie & Jessie has no impact on the bigwigs at SONY/Y&R/CBS. I've always suspected that, of the shows remaining, Y&R definitely is the most conservative but it's ridiculous how their bias is getting in the way of writing a good show.

Members ajsp35801 Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can't see that. Only because if they were dead set against a young successful black pairing then they would have never put Hevon in each other's orbits. And definitely wouldn't have continued it when they saw the popularity growing. They seem to be invested in Hevon and, moreso, Hilary as a young heroine. She is getting that "all about Eve" writing that Chelsea received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 This is such an optimist way of looking at it. I wish I could still think that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 So are you saying that they aren't catering to bigots but they are bigots themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 27, 2014 Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yes but when a potential young black pairing gets more buzz than their white counterparts? You think CBS is going to stand for that? The story was going fine w/out Neil and it didn't just limit Hevon to the "black story". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted August 27, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2014 Lord this show is bad day after day! I haven't yet watched Wednesday episode, but even writers Slater and Esser couldn't save this drivel. Katherine's memorial redux is as bad as last year's original by Griffith. And all the actors are getting worse as they perform this material. Sharon Case on the phone ordering Ian not to hurt Mariah...bad, bad acting. Josh Morrow is worse than ever. And it was downright offensive to have Nikki return to the bottle just after reading Katherine's letter; what a dishonor to have her drink when Katherine and she helped one other over their respective addictions. The show is tacky, cheap and uninspired. Yes, very much like GL at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
