Y&R March 2018 Discussion

[allmc2008]

The highlight of the day was the Brooks/Jill/Billy/Esther.

 

Lori and Leslie referring to Jill as 'Jill FOSTER', Esther referring to Liz as her mother, Jill referring Liz to Billy as 'Your Grandma Liz'.  Also, Jill telling Billy about her and Stuart...something he apparently didn't know about.  Him telling her that she had no right to judge him having an affair with Jacks wife as she basically did the same thing. 

 

I love that the show acknowledged that Jill wasn't always a Fenmore LOL.  Most younger fans are probably blind-sided.

Can someone send me a link to view today's show 3/27 ? I want to see the Foster/Brooks scenes. Thanks.

[YRfan23]

It was really great! I was worried Jill wouldn’t have a run in with Those two but I was wrong! All that stuff with Jill being married to Stuart was probably not talked about in over 40 years..

 

man I hope this isn’t the only time Lorie and Leslie are returning!! :/

I don't trust anything Dina says.

Amazing with Victor in ICU "fighting for his life" that nobody has mentioned he is a heart transplant recipient !

[GMac]

 

IDK why they have Abby treating the confession so seriously.  She knows her grammie ain't well.

 

I was underwhelmed by the show today.  Nothing really compelling about the Brooks sisters and I was hoping there would be more "story" there instead of endless chit chat about forgotten/re-written history.

Only newly homicidal-maniac J.T. mentioned it and only as a set up for a limp excuse for a violent rampage. (*shrugs*) I guess the viewers are not meant to regard that time with much regard.

[Antoyne]

I had to laugh at Victoria trying to lie and say she never got demoted. That little bit of desperation was pretty funny.
 

Even if Jess wasn't playing Jill at the time, some flashbacks with Brenda or whomever interacting with the Brooks sisters still would've been nice. Has it ever been mentioned why this doesn't happen like ever? I know there's a few examples where a show has done it but clearly it's super rare, but for these anniversaries it would be a nice touch. I remember GH brought back the previous two Carly's for some scenes and flashbacks with Sonny a few years back and it was a nice touch.

I know a lot of people hate how Ashley is behaving right now, but I just find Victoria’s behavior in the past few weeks repulsive. It’s hard for me to feel badly for her, aside from her getting strangled by her fiancé.

[Ponds]

I know that I'd like to b*tch slap her!

[DeeeDee]

Paul & Cricket deserve better.

[DramatistDreamer]

Not to keep harping on this topic but as I was scrolling through Y&R's 45th Anniversary photos and saw the actor who played Zach, it really occurred to me that Y&R seems to have an awful lot of trouble writing strong male leads under 45 who are NOT homicidal maniacs.

 

Also, is there more to the domestic violence story than what we've seen?  Does this now become all about Victor?

[soapfan770]

 

I wish they would give them some type of decent story like have them take a backseat at work as Paul decides to go P.I. again while Christine goes into private practice while they adopt a kid or two. 

[Ponds]

There are too many kids already!

Re: The Brooks sisters. When Jill was explaining to Billy about who they were etc...and he was asking questions, what struck me was that his aunt Chris is their sister and she is married to his Uncle Snapper. Would he not know ?
