Y&R: March 2015 Discussion Thread

[YRfan23]

IMO I think I rather see Sharon and Chris become friends (they sort of were over the years anyway weren't they?) and bond over their mutual hatred of Phyllis....

[DRW50]

From what I remember, they sent canned food, not specifically dog food. The idea was "can-her," not saying she was a dog. It wouldn't happen today, but this was an era of heightened actions (this was around the time fans had a protest in the street over Jeff Tractha being fired from B& B.

Did HK and AH have either colds or laryngitis when they taped their episodes of Y&R this past week? Their voices sounded very hoarse!

It is interesting for someone as 'beloved' in GC as Cricket, she doesn't have friends. Shoot, even Kelly got Lily as a fast friend. This would be a good time for Michael and Christine to support each other. Michael turns/pushes away Lauren and finds solace with his friend Christine. No need to go the romance route here again, but CLB/LLB always had a good vibe - frankly, it was CLB that help LLB truly make the transition to 'adult' actor. And, with so much history between Paul/Lauren - even the hint of Michael/Christine being chummy could add another layer and it wouldn't need to be manufactured or retrocon. The long history is there with all four original players.

HK lost her voice from the yelling and crying she did for the past two weeks

I've always said that they should've made Sharon, Chris, and Kelly friends over their hatred of Phyllis. It worked successfully twice before. Dru with Diane and Dru with Sharon.

I doubt she's going to apologize, when all Nikki had to do was tell the truth, instead of lying about the accident. I sure as hell wouldn't.

Nikki is obstructing justice and if she goes to jail, it's her own fault. The only thing that shocks me is that Paul actually believes it might have been intentional. Anyway, its ridiculous that Paul or Cricket is working this case on any level.

Cricket & Sharon are friends.

Their friendship (like everything else positive about Sharon) has been dumped to keep the character miserable.

Phyllis.

Cricket has PLENTY of reasons to hate Phyllis that don't involve the hit & run.

[CBRVA83]

But is it really necessary for Christine to have Phyllis pay for every other crime that Cricket wasn't the victim in, though?

[YRBB]

Yes.

[DeeeDee]

+1.

[CBRVA83]

Then Cricket needs professional help then and get over it already! She's starting to annoy me now!

[Juliajms]

Get over it!? I've always hated The Bug and I was cheering Phyllis when she ran the little wench over. Hell, I wanted Phyllis to back up and finish the job. But when someone runs you down, you don't just let it go. From Christine's perspective Nikki randomly veered the car right at her! Why would she just be ok with that and let it go? Screw that noise. I mean, yeah, she's annoying, but when wasn't she? That's the character.

I wonder how Neil is getting out of this long term. Running Chris over is nearly as bad as what Adam did to Delia. Maybe even worse. There has to be a way out. All I can think of is that there is video showing that Christine was partially to blame.

[titan1978]

I get not liking Cricket. But she has every right to her hatred of Phyliss. At the time, she was clearly Christine's Sheila. She was a sociopath and tried to kill her, and trap Danny in her fraud.

But I never could understand how christine became friends with Michael.

[DeeeDee]

I didn't mind Cricket being friends with Michael

The show did the necessary work to redeem Michael enough to make a friendship between them plausible.

Where Y&R crossed the line with them was the romantic relationship.
