I've been holding my peace on that. Where the hell is Hilary (and Devon)? They were just thrown in the closet. Reeks of the show not knowing where to go from here. 

 

 

I don't think Lauren is being thrown into a totally new story. This is just an entrance story for Scotty. I doubt it lasts 2 weeks.

 

Same goes jill. I think her heart disease story is part of the larger story.

Agreed with Paul/Lauren back together. Have Michael/Christine working together and then....

 

The beauty of Y&R is that there are so many legacy characters/actors with history that enables them to mix things up and not be completely illogical - unlike Jorm, which defies even the wildest Y&R alt universe.

Watched today and here's my question for the writers on the show--WHY MUST SHARON CHASE AFTER A F*CKING MAN?! 

 

Can this regime for once let Sharon be single and find herself? I practically typed up a whole damn story suggestion for Sharon on here about a month ago. For once, I'd want someone to steal an idea of mine and use it. 

 

I am not here for Sharon pining for Nick. Especially, not a few weeks removed from Dylan and Sharon divorcing. Just ugh. 

 

Can Sharon get a job? Find her daddy? Do some intensive therapy? Something other than scheming to win back Nick, thus resulting in another disastrous run between the 2.

Monday was a new low for Sally.  Here we have her first major character intro (Scott) and she introduces him with this lame fake out story with Tracey B. chewing up the scenery with hysterics in a very rare bad performance.  That tells me the writing is shaping up to be some of the worst we've seen dating back to Latham.  At least Latham had a budget and was able to hire new contract actors.  I'm sad the show is headed in this direction.  I don't think Mal is the right EP and Sally is beyond rusty.

Hey now...Jess W. had an awful performance too at the Chancellor Estate. I feel bad for both actress because I am sure they are thrilled to finally have a storyline thus the overacting but Sally is letting them down big time.

I don't blame Tracy or Jess.  The dramatic scenes are poorly written in the first place.  And the actors can't make it work (despite their skills) because there was no logical build up and they have the characters go from zero to 60.  Jill's hospital scenes were really bad: she awakens and her son, Esther and her doc let her have 20 minutes of heart racing hysterics before they tell her she's had a heart attack.  Then the doc lists this litany of bad medical stuff that Jill has suffered, and Jill's still in denial?  No, Jill wanted the mansion; she wanted someone elses life; now she has it and yes, she might neglect her health in this way, but she wouldn't have acted out like a nutty baby about the next chapter.  And now I just got done watching Monday and I see Tues previews:  Colin skulking around in sunglasses in the window less hospital corridors, and Jason Thompson threatening that he changed the locks on the entire Chancellor mansion.  Even the stable????  LOL.  Hey: Billy Abbot, go get the set decorator while you're at it to have them remove all those ridiculous library shelves and ladder.  Kay would never have her living room that way.  The mansion has a library on every floor.

I am sitting here LOL at your entire post because it is so true but sad at the same time. I totally agree. Also, I hate/loathe the new Chancellor Estate....it is so ugly!  It was always a great looking house!

 

They need to get rid of Colin. He is just an awful character. He needs to take Gloria with him.

I wish he had been some rich doctor who came back and helped his mom out with Fenmores. Instead, we got this mess and yes it has been done many many times on other soaps. It is boring and oozes lazy writing by Sally.

The Jill storyline is really bothering me. JW is full of fire and she clearly defies her bio age. Why on earth would any writer want to reign in Jill? The character has had an amazing journey from nothing to social climber eventually evolving into a savvy professional woman. Two constants: Jill is smart and nobody's fool. And, again, Jill is not broke, she got Victoria to overpay to get B&S back. No, Jill wouldn't be collapsing when she found out that Colin hoodwinked her. After she kicked him out, she'd be on the phone with Michael filing for divorce and sicking Christine on him for all sorts of financial crimes. It's a stretch to believe Jill had no clue that Colin has been stealing from her for years now. C'mon Jill knew who she married, you don't think she'd be checking her accounts daily for inaccuracies? 

 

I'm at the point where I want to start DVR-ing it again, just so I can HATE-WATCH because it's so bad.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
