Y&R: August 2016 Discussion thread

The Jack/Victor (or Abbot/Newman) rivalry could easily be extended into the next generation IF those characters were given plausible stories and worked at Jabot or Newman.  With Jack and Victor pulling the strings behind the scenes and the younger generation doing the heavy lifting of story.  I can't understand how the writers don't see that.  Get a recast Noah and Kyle (although I liked LB) and go for it.  To hell with PB and bring in Keemo. Jack and Victor's old spider webbed geriatric asses shouldn't be driving story like they do.

 

The show feels great.  Very marked improvement in the production values, that's for sure.  Now if Mal Young could get himself a real writer on the show, there might just be hope for Y&R yet.

GT is playing it much softer now. When she first came on, it was worse. One scene Phyllis sat by Jack on the couch and I couldn't tell which was the man. Posture, mannerism, the jerks. I'm assuming this is GT portraying strength and assertiveness. However, I simply see a woman whom Jack would never think would be interested in him or any other man.

Phyllis has been trying to avoid having sex with Jack for weeks now lol. 

 

I can understand the need for Hartley's break/exit/sayonara for now or for good but Pratt had plenty of time to wrap his foolishness and give Adam a clean "I need to go find myself for awhile" break as opposed to

The show does indeed look great and Lee Phillip Bell being on was superb with her scenes with Christine and Paul. However the show definitely needs A WRITING change fast!

 

I would accept Adam run off to a Buddhist monastery before this mess. I guess I should be thankful Pratt didn't attempt to reuse his Kimberly/Peter lobotomy tale from Melrose Place and use it with Chloe and Adam.

I guess Adam dying in the cabin explosion was Justin Hartley's exit storyline as Adam so JH can do his ''This Is Us'' primetime drama series on NBC? How come there wasn't any announcements on the soap sites about JH's exit from the show after Adam was killed in the explosion? Are they going to recast Adam yet again if the show brings back the character from the dead again?

I know it's weak. I'd rather they just had Adam go at Chelsea's instance, but that would put MCE in limbo. Regardless, my guess is that Chloe struck a deal with Adam - he leaves and she lets him live. Chloe drove him to plane and convinced pilot to tell Chelsa he never made it.

BTW - EH was fierce in her scenes from the walking up the stairs all the way to tracking Connor's dinosaur. She's a welcome addition back - especially since we got rid of lame Chloe knock-off (Natalie).

The show was quite explicit that Natalie was a Chloe knock-off - almost from Day 1 - it was incorporated into dialogue about how much she looked like Chloe, etc. The character was given huge amounts of (undeserved) airtime, etc. and slotted right into Kevin/Mariah triangle. The return of Chloe resulted in Natalie disappearing in what six episodes? Even though Kevin drives me nuts, EH presence at least makes GR somewhat (OK, barely) believable as a romantic lead in a triangle.

    • 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
