Y&R: February 2017 Discussion Thread

I know I know...but I have to.....

 

The show is a boring mess still.

 

1. Nick and Chelsea are boring!  The scenes with them and Noah were boring as hell! But I agree that Noah and Chelsea had chemistry.

2. Jill's story is awful. This is a very savvy woman and she let that fool play her again and at warp speed!  This story ended before it even started. The heart attack attempted storyline is so depressing. I think I will pass on it.

3. When did Lauren become all panicky about Scotty? She was fine and happy on Valentine's Day after his dropped call. Now you'd think Sheila were back.

This incomplete story is going at warp speed too with no story in it at all. I thought Scotty was studying to be a doctor and not some awful reporter?

4. There is nothing else going on in this soap unless you count 1, 2 and 3.

5. Any wonder the ratings continue to drop for Y&R.

6. Two sons in hiding...Lauren's and Paul's....not only is she boring writer but she is repeating stories too.

 

Sally Sussman's Y&R =BORING INCOMPLETE STORY TELLING!

Thought the same thing. I am sure before story #2 is over with which will be tomorrow that Gloria will be involved...JUST WATCH!

Yea, this insta-drama doesn't work.  At all.  And I agree, there was loads of story left to tell with Fenmore's, but now BOTH Jill and Lauren are in a new story?!?  We should have seen Lauren at the hospital as well.

 

Where has Hilary been?  She was featured for weeks, now nothing for the last two.  

 

Sharon now suddenly staring down Chelsea.  Please no.  She's shown zero interest in reuniting with Nick, and this is another story coming outta nowhere.

 

I'm still holding out hope, but the cracks are starting to become gaping holes.  Tighten it up, Sally.

Why is Cricket/Christine here?  Get rid of her...does anyone LOVE this character?  No one Ever HAS.  It's like CANE.  He's just there for 15 years.  Cricket's been here for like 40 freakin years.  Kill her.  That'll give Paul a storyline for 3 days rather than running into rooms giving people bad news about how South Beach is calling...PO PO callin' from South Beach.  DYLAN is in DANGER!  HE's IN DANGER!!!!   Po PO calling from the State Department.  LAUREN!  SCOTT COULD be DEAD!  Wait.  No - he could be missing!  But they CAN'T SAY whether it's one or the OTHER!  

Terry Lester (Fevuh) is rising from the grave and speaking because honestly - Cricket is the big mystery of Daytime to me.

Honest to God - how much has Lauralee Bell hauled in - in Salary over like - 30 or 35 years???  I remember her on the show in around - 1984 or 85?  She has to be the longest running actress on the show other than maybe 3 or 4 other females on this show.

I felt that way during the Christine/PIII "Lady in Red" embarrassment - but LB worked really hard to be quite the capable actor. She may not have deserved to be there at the beginning, but she certainly earned it. The problem with Christine is that she's rarely featured now - it's hard to be relevant when she's only on 21 times during 2016. There were 7 episodes in January, but that was centered around the cheesy SB exit.

She's hardly on very much or leading a storyline at the moment, LOL ...

 

Agreed about Paul though. They really need to work on him. I don't find him at all likeable anymore. He seems so miserable and grumpy. I feel like I'm watching the last years of AMC and MEK where he was so checked out, miserable and bored. I wouldn't go that far with Davidson but man ...

The gaping holes have always been there but some have not wanted to see them.

I had to cringe at her scenes the other day at the Newman Ranch. My eyes were rolling....when has Faith cared lately about her parents being together? She has been trashing both of them and moved out. If she can get them back together without pouting and leaves with them from GC then I will be happy....LOL.

 

I do have to say that Noah and Ashley would be interesting. The fireworks would be good but Sally only writes boredom incomplete stories.

Cricket is fine. She just shouldn't be with Paul. They need to get rid of Cane and his idiot father plus Gloria.

I always liked Paul with Lauren. She was the schemer who really loved Paul but couldn't help herself getting into trouble.  Troublemaker Lauren made Paul interesting. I even wanted a Paul/Andy pairing but that would have never happened in the 80's. Paul and Andy were hot together and I thought they were more than just best friends/coworkers.

It's sad when a flashback is the best part of an episode.

    • 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. 
    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
