It doesn't matter what story they come up for Lily! It will NEVER work because the actress playing her is 100% unlikeable. It will never change. At least, this way, we suffer minimally.

 

 

Well, they brushed her hair for the second episode. That's something. lol

CK ain't that bad. She's greatly improved over her early days IMO. She just needs something to do. (I think I resented her for so long when she came back on the show after loving that other actress...ha...but in the past couple of years, I've eased up). She needs to be something other than a saintly stepford wife. I don't even hate her with Cane anymore but there needs to be something done to shake up these characters. They've been stuck in an isolated vacuum for so long. 

 

Edit: I'll admit: I still remember how much chemistry the other Lily had with Daniel back in the day. Kinda hated CK for coming back and ruining that.

Sorry but MCE is more capable of an actress than CK is. Chelsea the character is useless but I can understand why she's gained the popularity she has, and I attribute that to the actresses capabilities.   I just don't picture CK being a leading lady. She sucks.

I will always despise Lily with Cane. Had he remained P3. That'd be one thing. I thought he was too old but could have eventually embraced it. But I will never want her with Mr gazillion back stories. 

 

I see nothing they've done with the Chelsea character that requires more capabilities than CK has.

Christel Khalil fits into the same category as Melissa Ordway for me. I too, preferred Davetta Sherwood and can't for the life of me understand why they brought CK back. Imagine the stories that Lily could have had under DS? Lily could have become such a great character, and even Hilary would be no match for her. Smh I don't understand how these writers don't see what we see. Their mistakes just seem so obvious.

I just don't hate Cane like most do. I really like him actually. The writers just didn't do him (or Lily) any favors by keeping them so isolated and (mostly) drama-free. The writers really dropped the ball on the Tyler and Lily thing. Never understood why they dropped that storyline.

 

That P3 storyline is Y&R's low point. That is one of the worst storylines Y&R has ever done, along with the Brad/Victoria reliquary, the Marco storyline, anything Daisy-related. I actually think I hate the P3 more than anything this show has ever done. What were the writers on when they came up with that one? I actually get pissed everytime I think about it. Geez.

I know I am gonna be ripped a new one for this statement but I'll say it anyway.

  I think there are only two weak actresses on this show and those are HKK and MO. (And no, I'm not trolling) HKK was good at the beginning but she's currently the most annoying presence on this show. She seems to have no range besides whiny, weepy or awkward. MO tries but she's just kinda there even though she is miles better than the other Abby's. Even though MO ain't no great actress, it still kind of works because Abby is meant to be a non-entity. She's this light fun type even if she's Victor's daughter. There's really no depth in the character so it's not like I'm demanding a better actress to play the role. What role?

 

This post is meant to be ripped to shreds obviously because I know peeps will strongly add CK and AH to the list. I disagree but I guess that's what makes it fun (I Think...I hope).

I preferred Davetta too but I think some might be remembering her with more talent than she actually possessed. I liked her because I thought she respected VR and was interested in playing Dru's daughter. By that, I mean  she attempted to infuse some of dru's mannerisms and language into the role of lily. I respected her for respecting that she was playing a daytime icons daughter. But that's it. CK, on the other hand, rebelled against all things Dru, which has come to bite her in the ass. I'm pretty sure she knows that was a mistake as she goes into year 4 playing second banana to MiM with no change seemingly in sight.

Well for me DS played Lily with way more depth. I was just watching this clip the other day and it made me miss her even more:

 now to me that looks like a real interaction between a mother and daughter.

OT but has anyone seen CG write up previewing the latest spat between Mariah and Hilary in SOD? And I quote: "Mariah knows Hilary is dirty, nasty, and untrustworthy."

 

Is this typically how actresses talk about each other's characters? I've never seen anything like it but maybe my point of reference is off.  I'm rubbed all the way wrong but I could be overreacting.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
