Y&R September 2015 Discussion

[Juliajms]

Not entirely, because they haven't told us. I get the impression that Adam somehow helped get Ian out of prison. Periodically Adam makes empty threats to send Ian back to prison. Now they are aiming to take down Victor with this Paragon virus. Much to all of our surprise Ian is double crossing Adam and dragging the Abbots into the mess. 

 

I'm starting to feel like the bad guy for wanting my soaps to just make a little bit of sense.  Are we really supposed to buy that Ian is a computer genius able to outwit the computer experts that Newman could hire? That a shipping division could be sold out from Victor completely online and bought by Billy within a day?  No one at the helm cares enough to make this [!@#$%^&*] even slightly believable.  

[Cruising Soaps]

I really enjoy the relationship between Victoria and Nick.  I think they are the best siblings on all the soaps.  They truly look out for each other, and love each other.

That convo Sharon had with her Dr was paþheticl given the scenes with Faith & Dylan but IMO it def spells trouble for Nick & Sage's baby, she is jealous of Nick & Sage, baby beware!

Since Hilary has been in a coma for the entirety of her stay with Neil, he could just dump her back on the beach or at a hospital emergency room and no one would ever know that he had been keeping her.  They really need to end this terrible storyline.  It's ridiculous and making everyone look bad. Today Devon punched some guy for no legitimate reason.  He's such a douche.  The whole show today was bad imo, the whole week actually with a couple of bright spots.  Ian always works his scenes so they're at least mildly entertaining.  I don't know what the hell Sharon is doing in a mental hospital, waiting for a miracle or some immaculate conception?  Whatever, the actress that plays Patty always brings it even if the storyline is terrible. Come to think of it she's never had a good storyline that I've seen.  Kind of a waste of a good actress.  I thought the scenes between Michale and Lauren were poorly written and acted with Lauren looking like she's desperate to get Michael back and he's not that into her.  Looks like CLB has checked out.  Can't say as I blame him.  What kind of loser is Gwen that she would want to have anything to do with Neil or any of the Winter's after the way they have used her in the past.  Now she's falling in love with Neil?  She must be an idiot or desperate.  Not a good look either way.  Marissa and Luca have good chemistry but I don't see where they're storyline is going.  Is Luca just there to piss off Noah?  Are we supposed to believe that Marissa has fallen deeply in love with Noah in the week she's been in GC?  Not buying it.  The guy that plays Noah doesn't help either.  He's a very mediocre actor.  Hope next week is better.

Is this woman with Sharon really a doctor???  She's a little "off" and buddy buddy with Patty...

[GMac]

Add to that is the apparent fact Phyllis is clueless as to Ian's identity.  WTF?  You aren't the bad guy, UpChuck's Y&R is a sloppy mess.  And not in a good way. 

 

Wasn't there a period of time that Hilary was awake, when she was alone?  It's not clear to me if she knows what Neil has done or not.  There's no way that TIIC are going to be able to explain WHY Neil did this - a rational explanation.  This entire premise doesn't make sense.  Getting her off the island makes even less sense.  And the fact Neil is behind this is the just insulting.  Some local dude should be nursing her back to health right now, ON THE ISLAND.  When MM comes back, have the guy help her get home.  Still dramatic, less bullshit premise.  Gwen is pointless.  And pathetic.  So is her never-heard-of sister.  Once Neil is exposed - or this storyline is over - they will be gone.

 

The show hasn't been good that last few weeks.  I'm barely watching.

Today sucked.  JH couldn't even keep me entertained.  I don't get why they had to bring Adam into this shitty story at all.  At least Sag wasn't on.

 

Gwen creeping around Genoa City is just juvenile, lazy writing.  

 

Lock up Victoria and Abby until we can get good recasts for both of them.  lol.  They barely touch the Popo and get sent to jail.  Puhleeeeaase.

 

GT looked fabulous today.  

 

 

[Soapsuds]

JH hasn't been entertaining in a long time. The story he is involved in is just horrible and I agree he shouldn't have been the one behind it. After seeing today's show it looks like Marco is back…..this show is just a hot mess.

At least someone finally knows the truth but I am sure Neil will do something to Gwen before she gets a chance to tell everyone what he has done. This story really hasn't had any build up to it. The story has just ruined Neil even further. I wouldn't care if he was written off the show.

[GMac]

Neil is ruined, you're right about that.  Since Gwen is a "C" character (at best), I'm sure they've written something else out of character for him to do about it.   

 

I suppose it's good someone found out what he's up to, but it should have been someone significant, that could (somehow) pull Neil outta this mess.

 

I really really hope Marco isn't back.  Having Ian and Patty's crazy ass in town is enough.  

 

 

[Soapsuds]

Well how do you explain the two Ian's in todays show? I am sure Marco had his face changed to look like Ian.

[slick jones]

Poor JH is in a role where he's been stuck in a holding pattern for too long. 

 

I know Traci/Lauren have made peace, but would she really give her the votes over Abby  or Ashley?   I don't think so...

At least UpChuck  mentioned her.

3 eps and out????

[YRBB]

When will you guys get it? THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! Jess/Jill are not being written for. Please, keep her away and keep her unscathed (mostly). 

[BetterForgotten]

And it's partly her own doing. She lives in Oregon, is recurring by choice, and is approaching 67. We're crazy to think she'd want to fly in every week and work that hard at her age. 

 

This is as much as we're ever going to get with Jill, unless they decide to recast...

[YRBB]

That's true. And I don't see why they'd want to recast... what use would current Y&R have of Jill?

[edgeofnik]

I don't blame JW at all for wanting to enjoy her life. I'm certain if she was willing to go 'all-in,' they'd find a way to work her in. But she doesn't and it's OK. She is definitely missed, but I don't see how she could have a substantial story with her life-choice.
