lol I mostly jest but if a handsome stable boy, or anyone, was close by, I bet she'd give Philip a nudge like, you interested? 100%.

 

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.

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.

Propping and building empathy for a character are two separate things.

 

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.

If Tessa and Mariah was the plan all along, what was the point of breaking up Hevon for Devon/Mariah? 

 

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.

Even the reveal that he is alive sunk because of his acting...

 

 

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.

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.

TBH, I don't think those older folks separate Mariah from Cassie. Not with the writing for the last year or so. 

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.

Those viewers were fine with her until Mariah kissed her. Now Tessa's the devil that needs to be sent packing.

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

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.

Sally Sussman's speaks/making up stuff is better than what she wrote on the damn soap.....LOL

The only way this would have happened is if Douglas Marland was writing Y&R at the time.

Douglas Marland.  Man, if only he were still alive and able to take the gig at Y&R....
