Please register in order to view this content If Victoria turns homewrecker though, expect that AH's fans (both of them) will bombard social media complaining that Victoria is acting OOC.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Y&R seems to exist to turn it's characters into hypocrites. Especially when it benefits the EPs faves (Philly) to do so. But i don't think they'll have an affair. Lily will leave him over Juliet possible sex and the lies he's told since. And instead of fighting for his marriage like he should and history and story dictates, he will immediately turn to vikki and Lily to Jordan. She will have slept with him before the ink is dry.

Members DeeeDee Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 The Neil, Devon & Dina scenes were pretty good. What is with AH gasping ALL THE TIME?! This Hilary and Mariah stuff is REALLY tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Tedious...and bordering on offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 I think the reason why Hilary/Mariah is so tedious is that they would be so much better as friends/co-conspirators because of their backgrounds. They have a lot more in common. I think SSM is trying to turn Mariah into Cassie, but Mariah's backstory and experiences would give writers far more material, including the inevitable 'forgotten' baby.

Members ajsp35801 Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 The background plus it is not playing to CG strengths. She always seems to be trying too hard in those rivalry scenes with MiM. She's much more natural when Mariah's just talking to someone or being supportive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 Agreed. Her best scenes have been with SC, EB and JM - no surprise. I'm frankly surprised they have moved her pretty far away from all those people. JM and EB really seem to love scenes with her. Plus, CG can deliver digs and zingers well - but with Hilary it doesn't work. I don't think MM/CG like digging at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 People disagreed with me when I said early on that I thought the GC Buzz story was a bad idea because it would force an unbalanced rivalry. The storylines that both Hillary and Mariah have since given my premise added weight. With the GC Buzz set stories, one character was always going to have to be brought 'low' in order to be seen as an equal rival with the other and from what I'm seeing on screen and on this board's comments, it seems that Hillary was the one that had to be brought lower in order to bring Mariah up. That doesn't make for a sustainably compelling rivalry or for good storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 It really doesn't work. But I think Mal Young likes the rivalry between Mariah and Hilary. Thusly, I expect it to last until someone in the writers room suggest something else for CG....that something be a new romance with another guy. Hilary is definitely the heavy to boost Mariah up. Devon hasn't faired well either imo despite TPTB now deciding that since he's away from Hilary and with Mariah, he can finally be worthy of his inheritance and have drive and ambition. Mariah is just so inspiring. RME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 I agree. I can't put my finger on why exactly. It might be looks. Unlike some people I think CG is very pretty, but she doesn't have the look of a typical actress, so Hillary comes off as way more sophisticated. I guess TV has trained me well in some ways. Please register in order to view this content If this were a UK show it would be different, but US TV really stereotypes people according to looks. It's hard for me to see through a different lens. I think that's even more true for soaps than prime time even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 4, 2017 Members Share Posted May 4, 2017 I wish CG had more scenes with EB and JM. I hate how stereotypical US soaps are. Which UK soap do you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
