I saw a post on Jess Walton's Facebook page from a woman who will no longer watch Y&R because of the "homosexual kiss."   GMAFB!

 

Homophobia is a mind-killing mental illness.

For the last few months, the Y&R Discussion thread was on fire. Lately not so much. That's got to say something about the show.

That regardless of what the naysayers said, the current writers aka  who should have been the heirs to the throne (or at least KA)  had us talking again.

aback that's bcuz viewers were bored with the slow writing and all the abbot breakfast scenes. they want fast-paced character-driven writing that only jean and shelly can provide. they've been doing great at gh. everyone loves them there. did you know that under jill, y&r demos were up 112% up on the current regime? everyone at y&r really misses jill and chuck, eileen melody and daniel were just saying how much they loved the stuff chuck wrote for them. nobody there wants sally and kay's boring crap!

:P Seriously though, I think you are definitely onto something. It feels like a lot of treading water at the moment. No momentum. Possibly because we are in some kind of transition period; hopefully this isn't a taste of what's to come under MY.

Red was way better looking and a better actor IMO than Darnell. That's probably why. 

 

The vitriol is just as ridiculous. I saw someone call him a "sterootypical blackman. No job. Jive talk. All about sex." Lane fan of course. I almost vomited. 

 

Yes!

"Jive talk"? What is this, 1979?

Lane fans distinguishing themselves as usual with their crazy obsession over which color dick gets to pay a visit to Lily's lady parts. <_<

The irony of the description is Cane is jobless, "oh baby baby" lies to lily constantly, and was shown constantly sexing lily to the exclusion of any other real story. So according to them, Cane is a stereotypical black man I suppose.

They're basically using Lily's dalliance with Joe to argue that she's no better than Cane (while conveniently forgetting all of the other horrible stuff he's done that she'd forgiven him for, in the past).

 

I guess I haven't been paying as much attention to those sites as I was when Lily and Tyler kissed but I do remember words like "thug" being used to describe Tyler on some other boards.

Suddenly when Tyler was put with Abby almost all of them became "Tabby" fans.:rolleyes: 

I guess that was when MO was relatively new (still) and a lot of fans didn't care as much who Abby was paired with and they were glad to see Lily and Tyler far apart from each other, for all of the reasons that have already been described on this board.

I didn't say I cared, LOL, I said I figured it out way before the reveal. Occupational hazard, I guess. I could see that plot coming a mile away. It's just what I do. As a writer, I pick things apart in a way that can be clinical, doesn't much matter whether it's an interesting plot or not, I'm trained to find what's coming and look for ways to improve it.

While I am the same way, from time to time I do get surprised. And that surprised me. Like others mentioned I didn't care for the sex ring story that much outside of it has Sharon in it so it never occur to me that someone might get linked to it more. Well, not by a relative connection at least. lol.

I still say in order for me to care about this sex ring storyline is for someone Sharon cares about (a SORASed Faith) or connected to the canvas to get kidnapped (isn't Summer still traveling the world) and forced into it. AMC did it great with Cassandra.

Is anyone else tired of Hilary the one note villain who lurks in the shadows recording people? They can do better than this.

 

i also don't love how Mishael plays certain things and how it's written.

I said last week how tired I was of the writing for Hilary. It's the same thing over and over just using different characters. It's tedious and uninteresting.
