Members Khan Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Oh, no doubt, lol. And if Phillip's love interest felt he was unworthy on account of his social status, then I could see Kay finagling him a job at Chancellor Industries as well.

Members DeeeDee Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Phillip faking his death because he was gay wasn't a bad idea. The problem was that the show never played the beats of the story for Katherine, Jill & Nina (beyond their initial shock at his return). That and Bierdz not being able to act sunk a potentially groundbreaking story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 True. Propping is a cheat. A fast track to building empathy. Which is probably why this pairing won't work with the older generation. The concern for Cassiah is too tied to winning out over Hilary. That's the question of the friggin hour. Story wise, maybe they thought Mariah needed the "perfect guy" to pass over for Tessa to show that they are a love story for the ages. She chooses love instead of comfort and security. She's willing to give it all up for this once in a lifetime love. But that's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Even the reveal that he is alive sunk because of his acting... Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Which is why I feel like this story should have been done with Cassie (when she was still alive) rather than her long-lost twin sister. "Tessie" might have stood a better chance with the audience than "Marissa" since we had spent years watching Cassie grow into a young woman.

Members YRBB Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Absolutely, and it would have been wonderful to see. Of course, the conflict with Jill and Kay over this, for various reasons, would have been endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 TBH, I don't think those older folks separate Mariah from Cassie. Not with the writing for the last year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 It could be Mariah or Cassie but I still wouldn't care for the story. I can't stand Tessa and a lot of viewers apparently feel the same way. I hope they fire the actress soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Those viewers were fine with her until Mariah kissed her. Now Tessa's the devil that needs to be sent packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 Well I haven't liked her from day 1. She could be Jill's daughter and I still would want her off my screen....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 I could just see Jill refusing to attend Phillip and his beau's commitment ceremony (because gay marriage wouldn't have been possible back then) and Kay, adorned with her diamonds and fur coat, heading over to Jill's place on the way there in a last-ditch effort to coax her into attending.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 10, 2017 Members Share Posted August 10, 2017 The only way this would have happened is if Douglas Marland was writing Y&R at the time. LOL....I was about to hit the delete button after I posted it.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
