RA is a good actor. I loved him on Lincoln Heights and he was good on Hollywood Heights too. That havent given Noah a storyline worth a damn.The Adriana storyline had potential but they needed a better actress and they randomly dropped it with no resolution. Never did find out what secret she was hiding or where she got that big bag of money that no one ever came looking for.

 

I like him too. He gets some flack on here but I think he's good.

 

The actually episodes of Jill getting shot were on Youtube but I cant seem to locate them.

 

Chit...I got that same vibe too.

@Chris B Winnie and Nelson . I don't mind the two kids cast for teen roles but seeing Mattie and Lily together, it's not just the fact that they look like siblings. The vibe is like a high school girl getting advice from her older sister who is in college.  I completely believe that Cane could be her Dad because he looks it.  And I kept thinking that Charlie looks a lot like Neil and could've made a decent Moses. It wouldn't have been that hard. Sophie might have complained to Neil that Moses was getting rebellious and mouthy and Neil could've suggested Moses stay with him for awhile.  Having Mattie mention pre-med and Aunt Olivia, made me miss TLW all over again and think of what Y&R is missing without her. Perhaps that means a visit from Aunt Olivia? I also chuckled at the thought of "Grand-Uncle" Malcolm visitng his bio-grandkids who would know him as granduncle. 

 

Okay, I'm going to say one or two positive things about today's show. It wasn't as clunky as episodes that I've seen in the past.  I might differ from a lot of today's soap fans, in that I don't mind a dialogue heavy show. 

The scenes between Dina and Abby weren't bad and I am not going to nit-pick how the show has decided to somehow retcon Ashley's relationship to Dina but I guess it gives ED and MA something to work with.

 

The teens' dialogue landed like bricks but in terms of the character dynamics, it seems as if some attempts are being made at building a teen scene. I know better than to get any hopes up whatsoever though. Although it's so obvious that

  Reveal hidden contents

Mattie is likely to end up dating Reed. I remember suggesting Devon's younger sister Anna (maybe a newly cast Anna) come on and end up Reed's future girlfriend.  So I'm having my eyes open to see if my suspicion turns out to be true

 

And shocker, but I think Ravi's cute (gasp) and  I don't mind Tessa. I hope they brighten up Tessa's look for the summer because the goth look has run it's course and making her personality seem like every character that Ally Sheedy played in the 80s has also run it's course. 

 

The dialogue is horrible. LOL

 

I like Ravi and Tessa as well.

I thought his romance with Marisa had tons of story potential too, but they nixed that and lost the actress in the process too. It's a shame how RA doesn't get good material when he is capable. 

I rewatched Lincoln Heights last year and I kept thinking afterwards about how Y&R wastes him.

They totally do. I feel like the stories they give Nick and Billy are stories they should be giving Noah.

Yep! I do. They're really not that bad ya'll

I've always liked Ravi, and I think Tessa has potential.

 

I have a feeling they aren't planning to kill off Dina. I think she is sick, and Graham is her nurse/assistant,  JMO.

I agree about killing off Dina

 

and the show absolutely wastes RA

A big part of the reason Noah doesn't work is because Y&R refuses to let Nicholas & Sharon act their age.

 

You can't be written as an adult if your parents are written as teenagers.

A lot of the new characters have potential but a HUGE part of the problem is Y&R keeps writing their vets as if they're brand new characters.

 

There's no intelligence or character consistency to the vets because it makes it easier to facilitate (the extremely cliche) plots.

Of course the eppy is coming where they remove the glasses, straighten Maddie's hair, and poof!  You can set your watch to it. 

 

Completely with an illogical adult watching (like Sharon), 80s music, multiple wardrobe changes and 'funky' sunglasses - all to impress Reed! We know SSM loves that one!

I think they both have potential too. However, Ravi/Ashley bores me to tears. Seeing as Ashley is such a straight-laced character, she needs to be paired with someone who is gray like a Tucker, Brad, or Victor. Those tend to be her most successful romances. 

 

I feel like they don't know where to go with Tessa. I get a feeling that they want her to be a grifter one second and a good girl the next. Like pick a lane and stick with it.

And there lies the problem. I think that's the issue with 90% of the writing for the cast is that they don't act their age. Sharon switching paternity tests, and Nick acting like a frat boy were stories that should've died with them when Cassie died. Both of their asses need careers. There lies the problem.

Screams!!! Yes! With The Worm trying to bust in the private closet where it'll happen pretending to be her Fairy GodMonster!
