I'm sorry but I'm finding these returns BLAH

 

What's the story?  Something this big should be setting up stories once the reunion and these returns are over.  It's all just a bunch of jaws flapping for what?!?!  

 

If they're just going to reminisce, at least throw in some flashbacks.

Not watching. Are they? That's cute. They should be. Would have much rather spent the last decade watching Raul over Kevin Fisher.

 

(I'm not watching)

Why are Leslie and Lorie back? Was a reason given? Did they just show up? What's the context of these anniversary episodes?

The only Mac I ever saw was the awful Clementine lady who literally had one face, so this Mac that actually shows emotion is pretty good to me. Was she awful on her last run or something? She seemed to get a lot of hate when it was announced she was the Mac that was coming back.

 

Ugh Jill just looks like she belongs in that Abbott mansion. I really do wish they had her more involved with Abbotts.

The Clementine lady...LOL...as you put it is Cybill Shepard's daughter. She was downright awful as Mac and I stopped watching Y&R for some time during her run.  Kruger was ok as Mac but she wasn't Mac. The scenes today with Billy and her were just meh....both recasts. Imagine if the original Billy and Mac had seen each other after all this time...sigh....

I'd love to see Jill back at the Abbott Mansion while Nina returns and takes Chancellor Mansion.

I decided to tune back in for the returns and to see Victoria get choked out in hopes the show had improved. Unfortunately it is still terrible. I’m still a day behind, but I always enjoy anything with Marla Adams and Eileen Davidson. I feel like they’ve taught Melissa Ordway how to act because she’s finally bearable. Now the actual story with Jack potentially not being John’s son is so beyond ludicrous that I don’t even wanna go there. They will never understand what to do with him, the return of Kyle just further proves that. 

 

The other thing that bothered me is JT attacking Victor. His attacking Victoria made no sense either, but the performances were nice so I went with it. Based on how they’re presenting JT it made sense he’d attack Victor, but why drain all the drama out of it. You go through the trouble of having Ashley fret over drunk Jack going to the ranch only to open the next episode with Hilary revealing Victor is at the hospital then you go back to Jack at the ranch. That pretty much gives away that Jack will call the police and save Victor. They should’ve had Jack arrive with JT still there to create tension then let us see Jack grapple with whether or not to save Victor. It just fell flat emotionally. Also I can’t see them stretching this story out long considering someone sent Victor a video of JT attacking his daughter and now Victor is in a coma. Common sense would say that person would report it to someone. 

 

Now onto the good, I loved the return of the Brooks sisters. I’ve long said their son needs to return and buy GC Buzz and work with Hilary. He could fill the void Adam left plus you could have Lorie, Leslie and Lance make appearances here and there to flesh him out. It’s so easy to bring that family back in a meaningful way and it would benefit the show. 

 

The teen reunion was nice as well. Out of the four Mac’s, Kelly Kruger was the most bearable after the original and considering how dead the Chancellor family is I’d love to see her back full time. Raul and Britney were a nice touch as well and could be useful but at least for her, I can’t see the actress wanting to come back full time. 

 

All in all, it’s a fun reunion week but the show is still a total mess. I’ll also say that with the returns, while great, it’s shameful the black side of Y&R has been reduced to Neil and Devon. We know how they are with Victoria Rowell, but Olivia? Nate? Mamie? They act like this hugely popular family didn’t even exist. Mamie in particular would be useful with Dina back and delving into the Abbott family history.

    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
