Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 8, 2017 Members Share Posted October 8, 2017 With both John Abbott and Brent Davis dead, there's no payoff for any public paternity reveal other than momentary public humiliation for Ashley and possibly Dina. Maybe they'll tease it but not actually carry it through since Graham has already begun to show signs that he is wavering in using Ashley to get revenge on Dina-he expressed sympathy for Ashley on the phone with his mother/aunt.

Members DeeeDee Posted October 9, 2017 Members Share Posted October 9, 2017 Why is Colin celebrating as if he doesn't already have a grandson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 9, 2017 Members Share Posted October 9, 2017 This word should be Y&R word anthem. Because there are so many Why questions concerning this soap. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 9, 2017 Members Share Posted October 9, 2017 ON LAST TUESDAY... I hope they take Abby in a different direction once Zach is exposed. Maybe toward Scott...ik, ik... Still loving Alice/Sharon. HAHAH at Jack figuring out that Graham is behind the pictures even if Dina denies it. Liking the new turn in the Nick v Victor fight so far. Overall, this is a good episode so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 A 'shocking revelation' at an awards ceremony - very 80s/90s. Even better, the 'reveal' has been know to the audience for 30 years!!! I still don't get the point here or the Graham tease, which doesn't make sense in any timeline. Like Dina had a 10+ year affair with Brent? That makes zero sense knowing Dina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 The difference between then and now though is impact. In the 80s and 90s, the impact would often be felt for years, because the setup and the story construction was sharper, tighter and a helluva lot more detailed. Today's soaps "shocking" revelations...usually last barely a few months, if we're 'lucky'. Maybe by some small miracle, I will be wrong but I don't put much stock in this storyline playing out the way those classic storylines of the 80s/90s played out. Again, without Brent Davis or John Abbott to absorb the fallout, I don't see the impact going beyond a tight-knit circle of folks. It matters little that The Hilary Hour will be there to broadcast live or whatever. The Newman "Punch Heard Around the World" didn't really have much impact other than for Nick, Victor, Nikki and maybe Noah (with the Underground expansion). Others like Victoria and Abby barely registered what happened and others in GC took it in, shrugged their shoulders and kept it moving. Nobody cares about that punch except for Nick and Victor, who have also moved onto other dubious (and ridiculous) deeds. In a few months, Ashley's paternity will register less than Billy having slept with Phyllis while she was still married to Jack. It would be more interesting if there were some twist in the story, that we don't see, like Graham's mother crashing Ashley's party and getting in an altercation with Dina, leading to her going into cardiac arrest while trying to divulge 'the secret' or if Graham has a change of heart tries to stop his mother, they struggle, which causes her to have a seizure, right in the middle of the party with cameras rolling. It can't just be about this "secret" being revealed, it won't have the impact that writers hope/believe it will have, especially long-term.

Members KMan101 Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm a week behind and I think I may just delete the episodes LOL I should have known they'd bring Alice back just to kill her in an attempt at shock value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 Y&R not pairing KSJ with AH is a missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 I guess I don't actually dislike them (not saying I dislike KSJ/Neil, I don't dislike the idea of them together) together when I think about it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 I noticed these random Neil and Vikki scenes for a while and couldn't discern the purpose until I read about that Billy and Lily hug. Seems they are moving peices on the chess board as set up for new stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 I’m glad you mentioned the hug because while I was watching I found myself thinking something was a bit off with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted October 10, 2017 Members Share Posted October 10, 2017 You're not the only one that thought so. It was much talked about. I think lily was randomly made an exec so that she could have a reason to interact with Billy. Much like she was a model to push her working with Jordan.
