Members edgeofnik Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 At least Lily was written far better today than yesterday's blech. I liked the convo with Maddie referencing her own past without the gories. Unfortunately, we've seen so little of Reed/Maddie, it's hard to have type of passionate feelings for them. Seeing Nick Victoria and Abby together really highlights how many missed opps to have had these siblings together more frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 +1. Y&R also glosses over the contempt Nicholas has for Abby. Victoria has always been open about her complicated feelings about Abby & Adam but she's still had a relationship with them unlike Nicholas who has/had no use for either of them except when it's convenient.

Members edgeofnik Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 If (WHEN) Adam returns, the writers really should create The AA Team (Abby/Adam) - they are the NE future and both have been treated like second class citizens. The Abby thing has been bizarre - despite being tied by blood to several frontburner characters, her family interactions have been mostly limited to Victor/Ashley. For example, how many scenes has Abby had with her nephew Reed (related through both Victoria and Billy)? There's so much more that can be done with the only Abbott/Newman hybrid.

Members KMan101 Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think we've seen plenty of Mattie and Reed lol. It's defining who they are that's lacking. They haven't been on long enough for people to care. They're also being rushed into a relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 .the casting on YR lately is so bad. Who is the casting director? DAYS has far superior castinv with Marnie Saitta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 The Ravi and Ashley scenes worked MUCH better within the context of the larger episode. Jack & Dina's scenes were also really good. Having Marla Addams back has been great. Traci's absence is still a glaring issue. Tessa needs to be recast. So does Benjamin.

Members edgeofnik Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 @DeeeDee Traci is there - she's just in Ravi's body! Every line Ravi has spoken about Dina, could've been said by Traci, except it would've been more meaningful. I wish BM was back even for 2-3 episodes every 4-6 weeks.

Members slick jones Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 +1000 I agree that Traci should be involved but all the Ravi hate is ridiculous. Why is there not enough room for both characters? Especially if you cut 1/10 of AH's airtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StepBack Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 Ok, now the Maddie actress is annoying me. More Charlie please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 @slick jones Ravi is another SSM underdeveloped character that was placed with 3 old ladies v incorporating him with a better set. I've actually grown to like the actor a lot more than I thought - and it's a benefit to have another diverse actor on canvas - so I'd like to see them reset Ravi. Rhetorical Q: If Jill is OK with Cane living in her most prized possession - the Chancellor Mansion - why wouldn't Jill hire Cane back at CI? Oops another SSM giant plot hole.

Members Taoboi Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just finished last week's episode... LIKED: the buildup to Nick and Victor confrontation at Nick's ex house Anything Dina. Gasping at the reveal of Crystal being Tessa's sister. Surprisingly Sharon/Scott. Just easy breezy. That said...the week just seem so haphazard rather than the focus it has had for weeks pre-HW change announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 Wait, folks didn't know that Crystal would be Tessa's sister?? Benjamin and Victoria's scenes were so snooze-worthy, I found myself shifting in my seat, hoping not to drift off. Whoa Daddy, young John Abbott was quite the looker in those scenes. Maybe they should wait a bit and bring him back as another character (perhaps a recast Benjamin Hochman?) Dina's interactions with Gloria are kind of funny. Dina the Diva likes almond milk and lavender and sandalwood scented candles, from the looks of that rider/list she handed Gloria. Marla Adams has been doing some good scene work with everyone, she's a pro. I did think those cabin scenes between Ashley and Ravi were good- are they really going to ruin things by making the relationship sexual? Oh that's right, its today's soap opera, so, of course, they will! Ravi should've gotten a sister before Tessa. Couldn't you just imagine Ravi's blunt sister (played by Shenaz Treasurywala) telling baby brother Ravi that his relationship to Ashley is inappropriate? Actually the first sister we should be seeing these days is Traci. Her absence feels quite obvious, especially since everybody mentioning her in all these walks down memory lane.

Members ajsp35801 Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 Finally saw those Ashley and Ravi scenes. and yeah, that sex scene was just as awkward as it looked on the promo. Ravi just seems so pointless to me. I agree with those who say that Traci should have his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 +1 I have to admit though I didn't even think of Crystal being Tessa's sister. I guess I cared that little about the story so I never gave it much thought. ZZZZZZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
