I loved Vail Bloom and Chris Engen

I don't know why anyone got up in arms over Adam and Rafe. Adam was a manipulator and that showed what he would do. I dunno, it never bothered me much. I saw it for what it was. I know some fantasized he was but I didn't expect them to ever make him so. It's no different than a man seducing a woman to get what he wants. Sure it probably sends the wrong message at the end of the day but eh ... Muhney's Adam was far more deplorable and it didn't help the actor was a skeeze and always looked slimy. Sorry to his stans but it's true.

I agree. My experience with obsessive character stans would be in regards to Nick, Sharon, Adam, and Victor (especially Adam). You say a negative comment about Adam, and it's lights out. lol. Not necessarily talking about this board but this seems to be the characters I see the most fights about. It's difficult having a conversation sometimes when it comes to these characters. 

 

 

 

Yes, they were a hot couple. I miss Rafe. I really liked him. And that plot twist with Adam sleeping with Rafe was a shocker in a good way. They dropped the ball with it once they phased Rafe out. Sad.

I liked Rafe too. The actor went on to do some things. Wasn't he in Pretty Little Liars or some show on ABC Family/Freeform? He's been around. I thought they completely wasted him after that. Shame.

 

So bad. You went from a maybe late 20-something/early 30-something Adam to a middle aged creep. And the stories they gave him were atrocious, doing the character no favors.

 

Hartley was a good in-between. I applaud Sally for resting the character and not really seeing the need to rush him back onto the canvas. I hope it doesn't have to do with Hartley being unavailable because I do think he's recastable at some point. Not right away and the show doesn't need him at the moment.

 

As for today, Nick was completely over the top blaming Sharon for being the one to upset Faith. Nick was the one who wanted to barge over there and drag Faith away, all worried about Sharon "brainwashing" her. I mean, Nick sounds like a moron for even thinking that. He can hate Sharon for keeping Oregano's kid away from him, that's fine, but he sounded ridiculous today. Sharon is being written as sane and logical. I know that's hard to fathom for the Sharon haters because she was written as a loon for so long but this is the Sharon I remember, mostly. And all stripper drunkard Nikki was doing was enabling her overgrown fratboy of a son. The writing didn't really do Nick any favors today. And that's the last I'm saying on that.

The Adam thing got crazy, especially when all of that stuff went down about MM. I lost a lot of respect for some of my twitter "friends" over that situation. I will never understand how some middle aged adults (who are old enough to know better) behaved online when all of that came out.

Yeah the MM stans were the worst. 

 

About the whole Sharon/Nick stuff. Does anyone remember a couple weeks ago when Nick came into Crimson lights with Christian and demanded that Sharon leave? Even though she was there first and her husband owns the place.. 

 

Obviously I blame that more on the sloppy writing because in any case it should have been Nick who left, but still that didn't do his character any favours. He looked like a total ass who thinks he can just boss people around anytime, any place.

The one positive thing I'll say is MM had chemistry with both Chelsea and Sharon, but the actor was too full of himself and you could tell he thought he was the sh*t. And after what went down backstage, he better not be setting foot on the Y&R set again. That would be disgusting and a shitstorm will start.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
