Members cassadine1991 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah, this story can be salvageable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Like another poster said, Summer should be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 But then Summer would be back on the show and that is unacceptable. Well, I suppose it would give Phyllis something to do other than obsess over Billy, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 It would make it interesting for sure. And I was right there with Jesse and Angie during that Cassandra story. I miss the onlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Since red headed Summer isn't an Abbott, maybe she'll want a go at Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Me too. I do think the story had such "bite" specifically because it was online and out of reach of network interference, which is why I'm dubious that today's Y&R can produce a story with a similar edge-- too many "bean counters" to answer to.

Members Taoboi Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Agree. it might have been long, but I never felt like they were missing the beats. Right now I don't mind that the only character I feel invested in is Sharon. It's a test for the reset Sharon. However, the stakes are pretty low now and maybe it will be higher soon.

Members KMan101 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Agreed. But even if they involved Summer who I could care less about, or a teenage Faith, I still likely wouldn't be invested in the story ... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 It really does. So disappointing. And sorry @ajsp35801 I do remember you saying something similar. I had just gotten caught up and wanted to throw that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 No problem I feel like every female character the show thinks needs a win or a story boost gets to rival and talk down to hilary. They've played the same story/beat with hilary and several characters for over a year now. First, Ashley. Then Mariah. Over the last 3 months we've had Tessa thrown in for good measure. Cane. Nick. Now Vikki. It's overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 Don't forget Sharon and the Dylan mess. It's total overkill. I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish. I cringed so badly seeing her recording Victoria and Ben. I kind of didn't mind her and Howard behind the car capturing Victor/Nick but it's enough. And I don't really like how she's sort of ... bitchy towards anyone who tries to talk to her. She just comes off as fake and like she can't be bothered by anyone. Maybe it's how Mishael plays it but none of this is working for me. Mishael is great and Hilary has SO much potential so it's really frustrating.

Members ajsp35801 Posted August 22, 2017 Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had completely forgotten about Sharon and Dylan drama. I think Mishael is giving them exactly what they want from her. When Hilary is written to be concerned, Mishael plays that. She's rarely written to be sincere. We know this because a scene later or the following week, Hilary does or says the complete opposite of whatever she said previously. You aren't supposed to trust her. You aren't supposed to like her. You're supposed to root for whatever character they put up against her. I don't mind her being bitchy when almost every scene she has is someone calling her evil, nasty, disgusting, etc to her face. If it weren't for Mishael's line delivery, the [!@#$%^&*] on Hilary routine would look even worse than does. If this isn't some who shot Hilary story with the entire canvas as suspects then the writing is even more assinine and heavy handed than it appears to be.
