Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Let's not compare Devon to Kevin. Devon doesn't have nearly the bad history of Kevin, which should,prevent him from much story. But guess what, it hasn't. Devon has a family to write him with too. He's not a solo character.

Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I agree. They need to drop GC Buzz. Awful. Hillary was like a cartoon character villain today. It was "poor Mariah" when it shouldn't be "poor Mariah" at all. Cringeworthy. Overgrown fratboy Nick is just so unlikable, along with pissy Aunt Jack. Bergman and Morrow need a long break from this show. Summer is completely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 You don't have to accept that Devon is Kay's grandson. that doesn't change that he is and as such should be written that way. There is nothing preventing it but the walls of the writer's minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Leanna has been a huge missing piece of Y&R for years. She had her own gossip column and two talk shows. A lot of the messy OOC stuff Y&R had other characters doing over the years (Drucilla, Gloria, Jill, etc) would've made sense because that's the essence of the character. Bringing her into GC Buzz as a Miranda Priestly elder figure to balance out the younger set would be a lot of fun & would allow Y&R to give a nice nod to history without it being over the top like the recent references to Ashley's paternity.

Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Seems like actual smarttv is over your head. Don't watch then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Could you imagine a soap writing a character of color as a violent, serial raping, arsonist who preys on young girls & sets himself on fire and expecting viewers to empathize with him? Daytime couldn't even write a "conflicted rape" scenario for characters of color (another favorite of modern soaps) without vilifying and writing off half the couple almost immediately.

Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 They didn't need to do any of this with Hillary and Mariah. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ryanc Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I guess I'm in the minority because I really really liked the Hilary/Mariah stuff. I don't feel the need to complain about it. Somehow SS has managed to make these Pratt stories that were COMPLETELY unwatchable, watchable for me again and so for that I give her props. I don't know the ages of everyone on this board but I'm only 21 so for me, I've longed to see characters closer to my age group finally interest me. The vets will always be amazing.

Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 I just don't find anything entertaining about the rivalry between them. Hillary looks petty, Mariah doesn't need to be propped up ... for me it's not even about race it's just slanted writing. Hillary can be a bitch all she wants but it's just rubbing me the wrong way. She looks petty and sounds ridiculous. Mariah should have just had a successful run as a model, she didn't need to fall. Hillary didn't need to lurk around the set and make snide comments. It was just cringeworthy to me and both are capable of more. I'll be glad when it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 YR needs a juicy umbrella storyline. so far with Sally and Kay its sweet nostalgia but it needs more. its needs modern day writing. they shpuld pay attention to Jean and Shelly success.

Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 It hasn't even been a full week. JUST STOP. If Pissy and Faultman were successful then they would have still been employed by CBS and Y&R. Stop the trolling. But then I need to just stop responding. It's wash rinse and repeat Jonny.

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 ATWTs Jessica and Marshall? The show doesn't trust viewers to root for the one they want viewers to love and have chosen for that position. Ergo, the propping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 It should be Shelly and Jean that needs to pay attention to Sally and Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
