Y&R January 2017 Discussion Thread

Most of the characters in GC have skated on paying for crimes. They have to, otherwise all the characters would be in jail. All soaps do this and it benefits Devon & Hillary too. Hillary wan't charged with drugging Cane, and Devon wasn't charged with driving recklessly (150 miles an hour).

 

Neil's character has already taken a huge hit. He was patriarch of the Winters family for decades,but when MAB  connected Devon to Kay and left him a huge fortune it's dislodged Neil. Devon's the one who can make things happen for the Winter's family these days. Neil can give fatherly advice, but the power has moved to Devon. Neil is no longer like Jack & Victor with their families. It's sad.

Wait, was he law school friends with Michael? Michael's been an attorney for 20 years. This guy is maybe 30.

 

Seriously, Craig is hot and from his short scene a good actor. I always find it interesting when these bit parts have better actors than the parts where there's this huge audition and the actor turns out to be crap and unattractive.

 

He's ambiguously brown so he could be related to anyone! Yay diversity!

That's not true. Before Neil was very involved in helping Devon plan his future. Be it school or trying to get him set up in business. Neil was a mentor to Devon. Then Tucker & Kay took over, and now the money. Neil may have not had his own company but he was clearly the patriarch of that family before Devon was hooked to Tucker.

Neil is Devon's father. Guiding and paying for college is what father's do.

 

Neil never helped devon set up any business. Stop with the fan fiction. Neil wanted Devon to follow in his foot steps and go into business. Devon went into music against Neil's wishes. Devon worked for Tucker then Kay. Then set up his own record company with an investment from Abby. Then he went to work for Neil at Jabot for about 6 months. Then got his inheritance and stilled worked for Jabot until Jack fired him. 

 

Either way, Neil is still devon's father dishing out advice. Which was the only thing he's done for Devon since Devon became an adult.

I admit I was only half listening because my volume was turned down so low but I thought Michael knew him from law school (maybe they're both alumni who graduated different years?). 

 

Michael mentioned that supposedly Gloria never liked Craig so I'm assuming that Michael and Craig know each other for a number of years.

It would be nice if we see Craig more frequently because he is indeed quite nice looking! And that connection I mentioned might add a nice twist for both characters.

 I like that you and someone else also mentioned it. Since she mentioned the holding pattern of cast to see what works and what doesn't.

 

I want to say as far as Daniel's porn story, wasn't he caught cuz he used a card or something that?

Devon asked Mariah to take over hosting GC Buzz after firing Hilary for doing tabloid-like interviews. 

 

So, Mariah hosts a show on fashion with Chloe and Chelsea's designs.  Mariah models one, struts down the red carpet and falls on her face.  Through Mariahs flashbacks, it's revealed that Hil sabatoged her (there's still no proof of this, FYI).  Mariah gets revenge by changing Hil's text on her TelePrompTer at a benefit for the Winters/Abbot foundation.

 

So, Devon confronts her at the benefit then takes off in an expensive sports car.  Of course, he wrecks it and ends up in the hospital with short term memory loss due to a traumatic brain injury.  The doctors told Hil and his fam not to upset him, so they didn't tell him how/why the accident happened, and he found out today with Mariah filling him in, and his remembering.  So, he's pissed she didn't tell him why the accident happened and what she did to Mariah.

I couldn't disagree with you more.  

 

And it looks like CBS is covering Trump all day tomorrow, so I guess Y&R will be preempted.

I don't remember Daniel's porn story being much of anything except a way to break up lily and Daniel cause Dru had died which meant the reason for their marriage  (dru vs phyllis) no longer existed. They moved him on to Amber to play Amber vs Phyllis. Did anything big happen to him other than that divorce? I remember there being some sort of danger he couldn't protect lily from so he took her home to neil but I don't remember the danger amounting to anything.

If this is all Sussman can write then she will be gone soon. I guarantee it!

 

All soaps and daytime shows will be pre empted for Trump's mess.....I think the coverage is lasting until nightly news hour.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
