Y&R: December 2016 Discussion Thread

I like Noah telling Nick what's up. Thank god for a voice of reason in all of this. Nick the neanderthal is calmer today.

 

I agree that the Faith show is getting tiresome. Like I said, she's getting more airtime than half the cast. She's certainly been on more than, say, Neil.

 

I can't believe I'm saying this because I was so tired of her eating the show before but it was kind of nice to see Gloria and then everyone's horrified reactions.

 

Esther with Bella was adorable. I like that she's going back to the mansion but I didn't mind her at Crimson Lights either, not sure why that had to end? And it was nice that Chloe said she was lucky to have Esther as a mother.

 

Chit there's a difference between living in the past and educating your audience. They aren't going backwards by talking about the past.

First, let me make myself clear.  I'm not feeding into your trolling as you can never have me beat from my early years here.  You are just another imitation of me.  I should sue.

 

I'm just using your post a crutch to state my opinion encase my opinion is disagreeable.  I could say that  Victor should dig up Phillips corpse and [!@#$%^&*] it and people would take me more seriously than you.  I'm using you as cannon fodder.

 

Anyway, what I'd like to say  to those who find the show boring is this:  You have Independence Day then you have 2001:  A Space Odyssey.  One is made to entertain and one is made to  exercise one's critical thinking skills.  Y&R at its best was the latter.

TY&R, to me, is that time doesn't age but life experiences do; Youth is relative while Restlessness is absolute.

 

Actually, I'm going to feed a bit into your trolling.  Here are a few questions.  In what ways are Jean and Shelly's stories academic in nature?  How did they ever change the way you view your life?  Did they ever tell a story that challenged or changed your perspective?

 

Answer in complete sentences and give specific examples.

Exacty. I thought it suited her. I get her wanting to live at Katherine's house but working there again? I mean ... really?

 

Nope. And that forced JT and Victoria pairing just because they hump in real life? No thanks. I'm sorry but I never really got the JT love, but I seem to remember really liking his chemistry with Paul/Doug Davidson.

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
