Oh c'mon, the post Adam/Rafe scene where Adam almost puked and then reaffirmed immediately with Heather was groundbreaking! And people wondered why CE quit playing fetus-killing, gay-for-avoiding-jail Adam. Definitely a low-point for Y&R

 

Fortunately, Mariah/Tessa actually feels organic - there is no rush to force this. Although we don't know Tessa's background, as far as we've seen (and have been told), Mariah hasn't had same-sex in her history. 

 

I do like the idea of Sharon playing referee between Noah and Mariah over Tessa. The bonus is that CG/RA work quite well together. I almost wish they weren't related!

+1.

 

That was the point I made from the beginning.

 

AS is a typical hunk...when allowed to be himself. He's sweet, charming and quite handsome in RL.

 

The problem was Y&R shoving him into television's usual cookie cutter mode of what constitutes a "nerd/geek" which meant making him look, and act like, Kunal Nayyar from BBT when he should've been hanging out with Devon, Noah, Mariah, Tessa, Abby & Scotty.

They created a new guy who she doesn't have chemistry with so she won't cheat. This what I would accept, they create another new guy just for a one time thing. All we have to do is see his black back as she gets up out of the bed. She can confess to Jordan about her having a one night stand with somebody. 

 

I think CK would go for that, she didn't really touch him & the reviews finally think she did a black guy.

You care way more about what she would go for than anyone should.  If she seriously has a problem with touching a black man she needs to be off the show. The idea that Y&R would cater to her is unacceptable.  That goes for Peter Bergman/Keemo as well.

More like run right out of town together and forgotten in 3 months. Lol

 

The role Ravi is playing in this story should be Traci's. There is nothing about it that prevents her from it or that requires it be him. 

 

I don't mind him now either. He's hardly shoved down our throats. If he doesn't get something else to do soon, I'm fairly certain he will disappear like Stitch.

Camryn Grimes has been excellent lately.  Her latest scenes with Hilary was much better structured. Tessa/Mariah/Noah/Devon/Hilary/Sharon and the ramifications sound so good.

 

People still hating on Joshua Morrow, but why? He has always been like this. What type of acting are people hoping to see from JM at this point? I don't see his scenes calling for anything great at the moment. The scenes between Victor/Nick was good and EB did a good job there too. 

 

Ravi is also great. I like him in this Dina story and his relationship with Ashley. I'm happy they are keeping the character. Y&R could use some more unrelated secondary characters that add to the show.

 

Nikki/MTS was glowing in that scene with Jack/Abby, I also love Jack calling Victor "Mr Mumbles again"

 

YES Dina - [!@#$%^&*] bonds invest in stock!

Right now I think the show is hitting all the right beats with the stories they currently have in circulation (not saying every story is perfect, but I'm intrigued to at least tune in for more).

 

In terms of featuring Jill, Nina, Traci more - I mean I would love to see them too. However, what's the budget? Scheduling? I'm sure SSM would like to have these actors visit more, but who knows what goes on behind the scene. I'd rather Jill return when they give her a story. And Nina return once they decide how to utilize her properly after the horrible recton that was done to her history. 

 

Also Y&R please NO SHEILA/DOPPLEGANGERS/ANY STUPID SHENANIGANS in the future. Please. What you are doing right now is fine, I dig it.

 

EDIT: I was snooping CK insta since people were talking about her, and that picture of her and MM is stunning 

 

 

So apparently MM grew up in Toronto, Canada and was here recently. How awesome is that! They need to get MM and TLW in some scenes together stat!

+1  I agree with all of this. Traci is needed as a regular, period. I don't think the writers EVER had a "Traci or Ravi?" discussion, and that sounds ridiculous on its surface.

 

The makeover hurt Ravi, as did the writers not knowing their path for him. It feels like they tried figuring him out as they went along, but does that ever work?

 

Regardless, I don't get the Ravi bashing on here (character or actor) and I'll take him in a heartbeat over a bland nothing like Zach.

Isn't it time to stop saying CK doesn't want a show relationship or sex scene with a black guy without some proof??? Anyone have a link? A source for some interview?

 

This is an AWFUL charge to level against someone  without some evidence.

    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
