Y&R: July 2016 Thread


Recommended Posts

Not credits-wise (JFP still EP).....but the directing and editing was really good.  It felt/looked a bit like old school Y&R because of the camera movements and angles.

I'm surprised that Y&R hasn't followed B&B template of using exterior shots - even around the studio. Yes, B&B is set in LA so it's easier to pull off, but there are plenty of generic shots that I'm sure could be added in. I know they did one for the Billy/Phyllis motorcycle accident. Overall, except for Billy's ridiculous rehab of mansion, the roof of club and Chancellor Park have been solid additions for sets.

No - for one thing, as mentioned, Y&R is not based in LA, so it's harder for them to do (they'd need to keep the seasonality aspect of Wisconsin in mind). They could do more generic locations (like the Phyllis/Billy motorcycle scenes), but then it would probably look like doing a location shoot for the sake of doing one (and they're quite expensive to do in the first place).

Billy and Phyllis are cringey as hell.  Separately, they're okay.  Together, cringey in the extreme. 

Ian needs to be shot and killed.  Every plot he's in eventually turns to a big pile of ridiculous [!@#$%^&*] that takes everyone around him down with it.

I can only hope and pray that now that Sharon's in the hospital she has a seizure and they do a CAT scan discovering a brain tumor.  This bi polar illness with her going off her meds on a regular basis has ruined Sharon imo.  Now she's hit her own daughter in the head with a blunt object knocking her out and putting her life in danger.  Sharon should be hospitalized or at the very least have her kids taken away.  She should not be around young defenseless children!  I can't believe Mariah is covering up for her and putting Faith and Sully in harm's way.

I could care less about Victor.  The stuff he's done - unredeemable - don't care.  And I really hope it's true that Hunter King is leaving.  I'm so tired of her reasoning that "Grandpa never thought it would go THIS far."  Your mother was sleeping with a complete stranger because of your Grandpa.  Your husband at the time is dead because everything he documented was true...the Newmans never pay for anything.  I mean - does anyone remember...it was Victor that turned Noah in and said...it's up to you to face what you did and all I did was tell the truth.  ?????  That's all anyone did in the Victor storyline....they told the truth.  Anytime he gets shot or something bad happens to him - it's FF material.  Nothing ever happens to him.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
