The Dina story has taken a terrible turn this week - repetitive dialogue and no answers. At this point, we should know who Graham is - even if it's just the audience. 

 

The B&S story works for the most part - it's great to see a lot of characters in one room with revelations, etc. Plus AC and MLB did a great job holding up the text. MLB really is at his best when he's advising/advocating for clients. I even thought the little scene with Jack worked well.

 

Phyllis - C'mon SSM. GT should not be playing lovesick, handwring victim, much less under the banner of Phyllis! Wake up. Phyllis is a great character with a ton of history and you've got a fantastic actress to boot! 

 

Nelsea - blech.

Agree with all of this. The Dina story, in spite of the great acting (minus the guy who plays Graham), is at a standstill, and I'm bored. There are no new layers to this story that are unfolding.

 

I'm actually digging DG for once. He plays pathetic and in-over-his-head pretty well. If he's not happy with the writing for Cane, I at least admire his commitment and professionalism on screen. It was CK's tearless crying that was grating on me today.

No he didn't!

 

LOL at all the complain, repetitive dialogue is classic YR, Ashley and Jack always had the same dialogue over and over back in de day

 

I agree with some of de critique bu I enjoy de show

 

No Nick does not need to go to CL, I am glad Sally ain't no Schick fan cuz I like him with Chelsea, they have long term story potential

 

BTW, did we get the annual Cassie death anniversary grave scenes at de end of May?

I don't want to sound like a broken tune but I am totally in love with the show like I was before things fell apart in 2002-2003. (I liked early LML and early MAB too, to be honest)

 

The writers are making a point of adding mystery and a bit of lust to every story.

 

Y&R was famous for its delving into characters' psychology and we are seeing bits of that again. (Nikki, for example)

 

Business storylines are back and the writers are making an effort to get proper information to add into the script. It was only a few months ago that Reed was paying for porn and Lauren saved her company by building a multiplatform website overnight. Now we are talking dating Apps, legal matters, bro-hugs in Tokyo (lol I love that). Major improvement. Honestly I see Kay Alden's mark all over it, but I might be wrong.

 

Nikki and Sharon's scenes the other day were fabulous, from a dialogue POV as well as from a directing POV.

 

NuCharacters desperately need to be fleshed out, but I'll give them a chance.

 

This is what Classic Y&R should look like in 2017. I hope it lasts!

 

Now add some classic music cues, keep Dina on the frontburner, steer clear of the Newman kids as much as possible, and I'm in Heaven.
