Has Aunt Jack given up trying to hire Juliet at Jabot?

And thank God for that!!!!!

 

I don't see why she'd want him unless she's trying to hurt Jack. 

 

There's not much else for her to do if/when Billy returns to Victoria.

 

And with Victor angry with the rest of his family & Jack what better way to get back at all of them all at once?

Victor also facilitated her rape. No...just no!!!

The start of today's show was pretty damn good.  I'm not here for a Hilary/Nick pairing, but in their scenes today there was definite chemistry.  More that JM has EVER had with MCE.  MiM was looking fierce  and they had Hils giving it right back to Nick AND Devon showing up and (kinda) defending her!  I thought, OK this is gonna work out pretty well.  Then by the end of the show, they were all at the Underground trashing "mean ol bad Hilary" and having a good ol time together.  And the bullshit with Sharon at Crimson Lights..UGH.  Why?  It was more obvious than ever today that Hilary needs a true friend.  Everyone else in those confrontation scenes at GC Buzz at the top of the show had someone to chill with at the end of the show...except Hils.  No bueno.

 

I want Cane at Jabot. 

 

I don't mind JM.  I don't think he's terrible, but I don't think he's irreplaceable either.  He's just...there.  And I'm sorry, but Bryton is the better actor hands down IMO.

Victor has Colleen's heart in his chest & still tries to destroy the Abbotts.

 

So it's not like Y&R cares about his schemes over the years (especially in the last decade).

Oh I forgot to mention...what's up with Devon giving Hils shade when he was talking to Nick at the basement bar that soooo unique that it's a model for expansion?  Grrr

Remember when I said on here a while ago that Sharon should have an internship somewhere and getting a story out of it. Hmm....

 

I think I have some memory of that.  

For years a lot of us have been saying that Sharon needed at least some type of career that would not revolve around a man or acting mentally unstable. Although some are already mocking her upcoming story, it's better than walking around a Newman board room in a suit with Joan Crawford-type shoulderpads and screeching at board members like a banshee.

I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be comparing this trafficking story to the one that AMC 2.0 had a few years ago to see whether being on daytime will prove to be a plus or a minus in how the story rolls out.

I wonder if Sharon's scenes with Hillary today are any hint to them getting Hillary involved in on the trafficking story in the future, perhaps having GC Buzz do a segment on it? I'm not going to hold my breath that the show might actually try to paint Hillary as a multidimensional character, but it's something to think about.

I'm not sure what the show is going for with Devon. But he's so annoying right now that I can't stand to watch his scenes. Especially when he's joining the chorus of Hilary haters. Especially when he's constantly "choosing" (his word) to be in her face making googly eyes. They constantly write him as some weak beta male. Very unattractive. And I love the guy. Lol. 

 

Is it that the show is just struggling to play him wanting/loving Hilary while still trying to tell us he can't be with her cause she's "bad"? I dunno.

The visual 

 

The story has lots of potential as long as the writers don't twist it to center certain folks that shouldn't be centered. I don't know anything about the AMC one so I can't compare. I'm perfectly willing to enjoy it.

Yes, I'm fairly certain Hilary will be featured somehow. Either kidnapped by baddies (I got the impression  something  would happen  to  her today) or investigative reporting. It's been months since the show had a front burner story that didn't include her. She's all over the place!

Sharon going all Mama Bear on Hilary. Now that's something I actually believed unlike the very disappointing Nick/Hilary scenes. 

 

Noah being Ok with Nick's sabotage was too much. Wake up Noah! 

 

Phyllis should be tested with NuNuNuAdam - that would get Jack & Victor back. I miss Phyllis the catalyst instead of lurking for Jack and Billy

They don't have anyone else to act as a plot facilitator. With Jill gone all the other female characters (including Phyllis) are largely reactionary.

 

And since modern Y&R has forgotten how to juggle more than one character archetype at a time Hilary will function as GC's resident pot stirrer for a long time.

That's obvious at this point. I was wondering why they took Hilary out of that Brash and sassy story cold turkey almost. It's cause they are now centering in the next big plot. Figures. She's the new Sharon.

Yep. Without the "mental illness" crutch in case she gets written into a corner.

Well they do have the coma that they never play. Then we'd remember Neil isn't the good man they pretend he is.

I am now neglecting my better judgement - but - I didn't watch in the years where Bryton/Devon became a wildly fabulously popular character.  I saw something in the mags back then...he was Bryton Macclure or McClure?   I guess he grew up on the show or something and that's why people love him -  but - he's a horrible actor.  God Awful.  He's as interesting as a dishrag.  I'm sorry people.  But.  He's God awful.  If people are going to rip into people like Josh Morrow - he sucks.  So does Melody Thomas Scott.  Eric Braeden has an accent that gets more German or Austrian every year he works - it's crazy weird.  God awful stuff on Y&R right now.  Nothing happens.  I don't care about Victoria and her MS like her mother - her disease.  She's a snorefest.  I think back though - and honestly - Y&R never really had characters that I loved like World Turns or Guiding Light.  Tracy on Y&R is the one that comes to mind - I cared about her.  John.  Katherine.  They do not do a good job of developing characters on this show.  They never have and the dialogue has always been bottom of the barrel.
