Y&R: October 2017 Discussion Thread

If Santa Barbara circa 1987 had been paced like Y&R circa 1987, how long would Eden have been paralyzed on SB?  How long would Eden have been stuck with Cain Garver in Utah?  How long would Eden have been married to Kirk Cranston?  (I know Eden and Kirk were a married couple in 1985-86, but...)

Buddy, u know I love you, but you gotta stop!  That's so far off topic, I don't know where to begin..... perhaps a question u could pose more appropriately in the SB thread?  Nobody watching 2017 Y&R gives a hoot about 1987 Y&R pacing being injected into a 1985 Santa Barbara storyline.

An observation. From memory, I believe the initial Scott/Zack scene was at Crimson Lights during the day. 

 

Though they moved on fairly quickly to The Underground (where, to be fair, the time of day/night is open to interpretation due to lack of natural light) I think Billy had got into the apartment before that had occurred.

Sally and Kay had the lowest ratings YR has in 10 years. They failed and sometimes u cant go back and recreate the past..Mals first episode was edgy, well paced and contemporary. So much better then anything Sally but onscreen. Sally also had the shortest run of any head writer.

Well, when the episode started off with Victoria as the first person we see. Sigh.

 

The episode wasn't that terrible, I guess. But I don't have high hopes.

 

Chelsea is so irrelevant it's not even funny. I like MCE, but why on earth are they keeping her around?

 

The actor playing Scott remains horrible and today proved it even more. I liked the twist with Zack, I suppose.

 

At least the show felt like it had some energy I suppose.

 

I'm finding Tognoni a bit over the top right now TBH. And Thompson's Billy just seems unlikable and sleazy. I could do with a long vacation from the Victoria and Billy Show.

Scott's actions including blurting out the identity of the sex worker kind of undermined his reputation of being a top notch investigative reporter.  Just the other day, Scott talked about the importance of being discreet now he's talking all about the investigation, including tracking the LLCs to a guy he barely knows?

Also, by the time I was in middle school, my mother had taught me never to leave my food and/or drink unattended, especially around people I'm unrelated to (and I mean close relatives, not those occasional interlopers that you hear from once in 10 years). Stupid stupid stupid.

 

I'm not opposed to MY moving the sex trade story along as it does need to end soon. The Zach character is creepy smarmy and lacks any type of charm and charisma and he and Abby are boring anyway.

 

Are Phyllis and Billy being played for laughs?  Just asking.

 

Also, it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any less of Victoria for the foreseeable future. Looks like all the writing regimes of the past decade have that much in common.

Also, Victoria's an heiress who apparently couldn't hire a top makeup artist? 

 

Hilary and Lily were the most amusing out of today's episode.

The scene between Jack and Ashley with the record player and music was actually kind of touching.

 

Today's episode had a frenetic pace to it.

    • I had forgotten this. I guess it must have been for Peter, unless it was for Hart's abs.
    • Yes both were real highlights of the last two episodes.
    • She's been featured way more since the reveal than Nicole has.   
    •       I don't agree that we're supposed to like Dani in obnoxious mode. I think Dani was written over-the-top intentionally for the first few weeks of episodes, to get the viewers to be evenly divided as to like/dislike the character. I don't think Dani is being written over-the-top or obnoxious anymore. I think Dani is now more of a background character who is being assertive but still in the background of Nicole.  Nicole is the lead of the show.
    • +1 - She and Ambyr go above and beyond the scripts they’re given.

      date: Tuesday, May 13 | Sara A. Bibel, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Anthony Pascarelli So Deadbeat's secret has to do with a car accident? At least Nicole is getting dressed. That's a sign of good things to come. Eva looks gorgeous in her sparkling pink number. Very age-appropriate and fashionable. So, Douglas is back to his gambling addictions and lying to Vanessa, and here comes Joey, ready to fully cash in on the debt owed to him. Jan, you look gullible, but do not let Dana continue to trick you into believing her sob story, because it's just that: a story. If you're going to eavesdrop on someone, maybe do not make it so apparent (i.e., the new character: Kenny). But at least Deadbeat isn't running for president anymore. That's a sigh of relief. Anastasia, the town gossip, is a mood. Hoping she's an occasional guest when things need to be spiced up a bit. So, Deadbeat is no hero? This is alluding to this big, bad secret that's being harboured. Interesting. "You is kind, you is smart, you is important." We love historical references, this time to The Help. Oh, the showdown face; Nicole's slight eyebrow lift at the sight of Ted and Eva. If Vanessa knew she'd be showing up with Dani, then she really should have given them a heads up about who was at the country club. Not Derek just throwing his nasty, dirty shirt on the ground. I would be completely pissed off... and I guarantee he's using all of the steamy hot water, and I would absolutely off him. He and his ugly-ass chair would be out of the home. Oh, so everyone knows about Anastasia, and I do adore her. She gives me Leanna Love from Y&R, but even juicier. Eva, don't beg Dana for forgiveness; she manipulated you most of all... and you deserve better. So Anatasia wants lip filler? Or is she hinting at something else...? Well, well, well... Joey's true colours are finally coming out, and not going to lie... I believe him. Dana putting on a show that makes her look even more psychotic than she actually is. Dougie boy, do not sell out Vanessa and her business. The anvils dropping about Dana's future in Fairmont Crest keep coming out more and more. Months to build debt and one week to pay it off? Sounds about right to me. Notes: Karla Mosley (Dani) was right during the premiere week: Dani would be leveled out, and these last few episodes have showcased that. It's nice seeing Mosley showcase some good range and the capability of everyday range, as well. Jon Lindstrom (Joey) is showing what a capable actor he is; GH only barely tapped into that during the long-winded, dragged-out Kevin Chamberlain revisit. Ambyr Michelle (Eva) continues to be the undisputed standout amongst the cast. She's going places. Brandon Claybon (Martin) and Ben Gavin (Derek) continue to be standouts in the most needing of being recast, immediately. We've now got a second year under our belt, so now is the time to tweak the casting on both roles. Although Derek could easily be written out via a fire or emergency via his job.
    • Typo as I am referring to Dani alone. 
    • She's jealous and resentful that Bill didnt fight for her the way Ted is for Nicole
    • Trisha makes it so hard to hate Leslie. Missy is just getting started to unravel. Can not wait.
