Y&R: June 2017 Discussion Thread

Josh Morrow requested and fought for the Nick/Chelsea pairing for years? Huh? You got a link for that? I swear I don't know where some of you come up with this stuff.

 

Even more laughable is the claim that Morrow isn't attractive. On what planet is that guy not attractive?

 

I don't like being an apologist for anyone, but I'm once again coming to Josh's defense. The piling on here regarding his acting is just ridiculous. I personally like the way he plays Nick, and that includes the laid back characteristics of his personality. I find it real, and genuine. 

 

I don't want 60 minutes of "I'M ACTING!!!" when I watch Y&R. The writing for Nick today called for laid back and genuine, and that's what we got. How the hell did you want him to react in those church scenes as Kevin screamed at him? And in the park with Chelsea and the boys?

 

If if you want to call JM "monotone" and "not pretty," that's your business. I do find it sad that anyone feels good about an actor being attacked on social media. The guy isn't a serial killer.

I think by most standards, JM is definitely considered attractive.  

 

There's one exception to his pairings though, and I would argue the only other coupling that worked for him was Grace (Gareis).  I thought they were smoking hot back in the day and they still had a spark the last time she visited GC.  

 

Chloe's "funeral" hasn't worked for me at all, especially that bullshit we saw at the end of yesterday's show.  I'm all for some camp, but that was bad.  Yesterday's show was probably the worst in the last few weeks.

Eh, just as much as someone can like Morrow and his acting, he's extremely monotone. Sorry but he is. He's not great. We're all entitled to our opinions.

 

And I'm with you @ajsp35801 I'm kinda thrilled the pairing has tanked and fans are saying so. Morrow must be crushed LOL

Grace should have been the affair instead of Phyllis. Phyllis and Nick never made sense to me and never worked. Sorry to those who liked them but no thanks. Tognoni and Morrow have a nice rapport but I never saw chemistry.

Watched yesterday's episode after a while away from the show...

 

First of all, let's be clear: JM is HOT. Morrow still exudes a lot of wolfy sexiness. I thought his acting was lowkey but fine at Chloe's funeral. It was how Nick would have responded given the circumstances, and out of respect for the family. By contrast, Chapman and CLB with their eyes buggin out in OTT outrage were the ones over-acting wildly.

 

That funeral took for-effing-forever. Kevin was going on and ON about how Chloe touched so many lives and was a ray of sunshine in everyone's hearts. Really, Kevin? Have we been watching the same show? Chloe was a raging, snarky bitch to everybody, and the only person she showed even an ounce of caring or compassion for was Bella (and Delia obvs). I'm annoyed there is a chance she could be alive now!

 

I was really invested in the Hilary/Juliet scenes -- really well written as Hilary trod the line between assertive action on Juliet's behalf and feeding to Juliet how she should be feeling and what might or might not have gone down.

 

As gorgeous as MCE is, she needs to wean herself off that spray-tan addiction. She is a few shades past Kim Kardashian at this point.

 

You guys have touched on this, I know, but Mattie and Lily look like sisters, not mom & daughter. I like the actress who plays Mattie, but Lily still looks and acts like a Valley girl, so this was clearly way too early a SORAS.

My problem isn't that Morrow didn't bug his eyes or act over the top. He's very monotone. I like him but I don't think he's a very good actor. He does OK at times but he's been on the show for 20+ years. He should be doing a lot better. JMO of course.

 

Maybe I just hated it so much I didn't see how "hot" they were but I just never got into it at all. I was turned off from the start LOL. I didn't necessarily hate the idea or the very beginning of it but ugh. If some of you liked it, that's fine not arguing against it, was just never for me.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
