 Sage is a breath of fresh air.  She hasn't been hanging around for so many years that the writers don't know what's left to do with her.  The character and the actress gained some new fans after she ripped into Nick and icky Vicky.

So I relented and decided to tune in today and it was just abysmal. All the hypocrisy amongst the characters made me wince throughout. I had to turn it after awhile.

 

1. Pole rider Nikki cutting for Sage annoyed me. After all the grief she gave Sharon for doing the same crap, she wanted Nick to forgive Sage.

2. SKANKtoria passing judgment on Sage for lying and possibly carrying Adam's baby when this b-tch was just questioning who the father of her daughter was.

3. Victor coming down on Adam and all his actions when he just had Phyllis raped, AND had his grandson and granddaughter's significant others killed.

4. Nick whining about Sage lying when he lied about Summer being Jack's possibly.

5. Grandpa Billy acting righteous when he has a plethora of sins underneath his belt.

6. Redzilla coming down on Chelsea (and Adam) about their wrongdoings, but bitch, didn't you come on the show unhinged and committing crimes left and right? Have a seat.

 

Today just exemplified why this show is a mess and why I don't watch it anymore. None of the characters are likable. Drop a bomb on GC. Kill them all. Move on.

Agree with everything except for Redzilla. Gina T. is propping up ALOT of people right now.  There's a reason that girl was hired...people miss Stafford?  She would look ridiculous right now.  Gina sells this better than everyone that could have been in this role given the writing.  I think the reason I'm still OK with the show is the cast of breakdown/assistant writers.  I still see names that I know were good.  Michael Conforti, among a couple others.  The fighting chance is that those writers stand up and re-write some stuff they are given before anyone with approval authority sees it.  hahahahaha.

Thats the problem. All of them are throwing stones at Adam and each other and they shouldn't be because not one of them is a saint. I did like what Phyliss did tell Chelsea. I can't believe how bad Pratt has destroyed Victor Newman. I use to be a fan of his no matter what I just can't with him anymore. He is an evil human being with no heart.

This should have been the reveal of the year but due to poorly written episode in my opinion. It's just not working for me  There was a few good moments but even some of the actors seemed to bored at times, the worst being Braeden. 

 

At least Sage is finally being knocked off her pedestal. Why was Victor the first person in what, four or five years to bring up the purple dress gas-lightning? 

None of the actors seemed bored, least of all Eric Braeden, whose work was his best in a long time. 

I have problems with the character Victor, too, but saying EB wasn't invested just isn't fair.

This was the most anti climatic reveal in soap history...Pratt should watch old Edge episodes around the Sky/Jeff plot.  Shoddy, lazy writing...

Yeah, let's back up 40 years and copy what EON did. Right. 

To me, anti-climactic would have been some grand announcement at a party while everyone gasped. Been there, seen that a thousand times.

 

I personally loved the last three episodes of Y&R. JH was incredible especially in his scenes with EB at the bar. I may be the only fan of Chuck Pratt & JFP but they have been the only regime to get me watching regularly.

I'm with you, skiman. Three great episodes in a row -- strong acting, strong writing.

Read my post regarding today's episode. I didn't need a big party to gasp I just felt the 10/5 episode lacked a lot of emotion and expression. The 10/6 episode was vastly superior which dealt with the sinking in. I didn't like Braeden yesterday but I did really enjoy his work today especially his facial expressions when Victor had take a moment to contemplate his words for once.

Well with Sage

It hasn't been confirmed yet but that rumor has been persistent since Pratt did that weird unnecessary history retcon back in March and rumors are still swirling form a plot twist most have already connected since the stupid Sandra history "twist". Pratt is too predictable obviously.

Gina Tognoni has nothing to do with Phyllis being a hypocrite. She shouldn't tell Chelsea or anyone anything b/c Phyllis has practically committed every sin there is.

But Phyllis can't talk about Chelsea b/c she practically did the same stuff Chelsea did when she first came on the show and was obsessed with Danny. 

 

And Victor was destroyed long before. Pratt just made him so repulsing that there's no point of return. Victor could save a bus full of kids and his sins still wouldn't be washed away.

I missed a lot the last couple of days but today they referenced Adam delivering Sage's baby in Chancellor Park.  I'm glad I missed that because Adam delivered Chelsea's baby after she crawled through a frozen pond and they're just rewriting the same crap over and over.  The show also likes to try and redeem characters, Adam in particular, by having him rescue people and deliver babies instead of writing a compelling redemption story. 

Have to say I loved the last part of the show today where Nick greeted his son in the NICU with the theme music playing over the scene and then the scene of Nikki telling Victor he had a new grandson. Nice.

Sharon is about to get a double whammy.  The first love of her life has a new son and the second love of her life is very much alive!   It might drive poor Sharon right over the edge .

The Sag propping continues.  Is Nick really going to forgive her?  WTF.  Sharon was hung out to dry by his judge mental ass, but not Sag?!?  GMAFB.

So true, but that's what makes Sharon Case perhaps Y&R's most valuable player - no matter what is thrown her way, she plays it 100% and no matter how bad, she is able to still have the majority of the audience caring about Sharon. Even with BurnedOut Brushfire propping - the audience is connecting with it at all.

Sage didn't deliberatly take his daughter and give her to another man, then sit by and watch him and his daughter in pain.  Sharon deserved to be hung out to dry. Will Dr. Doom pump Sharon full of drugs and convice her that Nick's baby is really hers?

No, Sag jumped into bed with Adam and got knocked up by one of the two Newman heirs...Here's hoping Christian doesn't last, so Sag has nothing to stay around GC for...

Snortoria and Grandpa Billy are like watching paint dry.

 

JH sold it today as Adam, though...
