Y&R: February 2017 Discussion Thread

What a boring week.  There is deliberate pacing and then there's dull. I realized yesterday that a large part of my problem with the show is the lack of tension. They pay lip service to it but I rarely feel it. I felt it last week when Jill found out about Fenmore's but they got past that real quick. It's shameful.

 

Yesterday Abby and Victor had the exact same conversation they had a month ago. Melissa Ordway has no screen presence whatsoever.

 

And because it can't be said enough Amelia Heinle is an atrocious actress and looks like she's dying. Fire her!

I'm thinking it's more the way they've drawn the character. They seem to be intentionally going for cold and sexless. She's becoming a chore to watch. 

 

For whatever reason, I think they are setting up Cane social climbing with Abby. Just a feeling I get. He seems the new Brad.

I absolutely agree. Also I feel there's a lack of SEXUAL tension between characters. Like, is there any couple oozing passion and attraction? Nope. Zero.

 

Don't get me started on Jill lashing out at Lauren. She got teary eyed almost immediately. It's ridiculous. Jill has been through hell and back. Yet JW portrays her like so weak and emotional. 

 

Ordway and Heinle are a lost cause, and I'm sure the writers know that even though they shove Victoria down our throats.

Sharon has used hr illness as an excuse, and their have been many instances of Sharon not being irrational, acknowledging her issues juxtapositioned with her feeling and doing the opposite to make anyone wary, she built that house LOL

    • I find the black & white episodes FAR more atmospheric and spooky than the color episodes.   The first few months of Dark Shadows move ploddingly slow when you're binge-watching, with entirely too much repetition and exposition.  But as someone noted above, it's the only time in the show when you get much character development.  After the 1795 sequence, it's pretty much like "just make something up; nobody cares."   The series essentially became self-parody with the overload of monsters & ghoulies.  I was watching a scene one time in which the Witch was attempting to stop the Phoenix from staking the Vampire, and I got tickled at the absurdity of three "monsters" in one scene.  
    • So cool!!!   And that picture is fierce!!!    
    • Just glancing through, it does remind me that I really need to catch up. Sounds like the new writing team have been off to a good start.    
    • Loved Katie's reaction to seeing Philip beaten up and near death.
    • I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.
    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying.
