The Young and the Restless: December 2014 Thread

[NothinButAttitude]

But it really hasn't been awhile.

See that just shows you how boring, sh*tty writing becomes a blur to fans, but we can remember the great stories from A to Z. Point by point. Beat by beat.

Maria's reigns was hot ass garbage. She needs to be flogged and stoned for the drivel she produced.

Preach!!

[DeeeDee]

That's Y&R's constant need to try to justify Giggly's crimes to keep her hypocritical ass on the show.

It's been the pattern since she was introduced.

Do horrible things to innocent women, pretend to be the *real* victimized party, act surprised when women react.

Cricket, Gina, Sasha, Diane, Mackenzie, Jill, Drucilla, Ashley, Lily, Sharon, Victoria, Nikki, Nina.

The only female character she hasn't turned on (fully) is Lauren.

[YRfan23]

But has most of this been purely the decision of Bill, who fell in love with Phyllis enough to keep her, or mostly the other writers?

[NothinButAttitude]

Possibly Bill's decision BUT he made sure that Phyllis was supposed to be supporting. Not lead or a heroine. And not everyone kissed Phyllis' ass or ever viewed her as a victim. None of this didn't start till the LML years.

[DeeeDee]

EXACTLY.

[NothinButAttitude]

I don't necessarily care for Kelly, but I am so over women going bonkers over saggy faced Jack. First Mari Jo. Then Diane (somewhat). Then Patty. Now Kelly. Jack's crusty ol' peen ain't that good.

[GMac]

Yea, DD. After today's show, you're right. She's on the bus...

So Phyllis accused her of doing it, but it still doesn't make sense. She would have had to cause the reason for Phyl not riding with Jack, which was Summers dress, right? Unless she saw Phyllis and Summer pick out their dresses, then switched them? But Summers dress was said to be "old", so that's not it. AND Kelly drained the battery in P's phone? WTF?

If Kelly did do something, we should have seen it. Or they better give us some flashbacks to explain it. Kelly survived, and apparently coped with, losing her child. But because Jack didn't choose her, she goes bonkers? Lol. They will prolly turn Kelly into a cartoon villan like they did Carmine.

I liked Nikki talking to Katherine. It seemed very genuine.

JH and MCE look good together, but I'm not feeling the chemistry yet. But JH is selling the story. He's good.

Are we supposed to care about the chick that Noah was with? Has their story even been told?

I like this.

[YRfan23]

Finally A Chris,and GT Phyllis interaction!......great exchange between those 2 today!

[redontop4]

Am I the only one who spent the first few minutes of today's episode thinking Kevin was Harding's NYE date? The writing, the banter, the chemistry . . . they'd make a cute couple.

[slick jones]

I swear that's what II thought!

[YRBB]

If Y&R had an ounce of creative honesty and a good set of balls, they'd go there.

At least Kevin would finally be in a pairing with chemistry. Not that it would erase his awfulness but it would at least be more tolerable.

[Vanguardian]

I agree! Forget about Harding kissing uptight crabby Abby. Harding and Kevin feels much more right especially since Kevin has no hot vibes with women. And the writing, the banter, and the chemistry in the scenes seemed evident.

[piperisthenewsookie]

I liked Harding kissing crabby Abby! She could do with a guy that doesn't take her bullshit. Unfortunately I think I read somewhere that he's working on another show. Stich and Victoria were hot today too.

Does MCE ever have chemisty with anybody? She wasn't bad with Dylan but that's the only character I've ever seen her click with even a little bit. Smiling and giggling is not acting not matter how cute you are or think yourself to be.

i'm glad to see Neil's getting his sight back little by little. You'd think he'd mention that to his wife.

[redontop4]

Yes, this makes no sense unless he suspects her of something and wants to catch her. Otherwise, it feels like an implausible soap contrivance.
