Members Faulkner Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Isn’t some of the tension of the JT story gone with Reed not on the show? Maybe the door’s open for returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 +1 While still in a love affair with Phyllis. I can't believe how the town as just accepted Billy and Phyllis after their deception. Wait for it...her name is Shauna. First time I noticed it was circa late 2011/early 2012 when Billy had come back from Myanmar, I think. Vikki had a confrontation with him in a random hotel room. She was beating on his chest in anger yet her voice never rose above a whisper. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well, at the very least, Reed's absence means he can't team up with Kyle in the big "Let's Scare Nikki to Death" plot. Actually, it's Drucilla. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StepBack Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 I agree with that. The vets being the supporting players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 I agree that Kyle/Victor makes little sense. Not saying the motive right now is all that great but him being a schemer isn't a bad thing. He really wasn't much of a character when the last several actors played him. I agree the motive should be vengeance for his mother. Does he have anyone he confides in? That's such a problem with soaps anymore, no one talks to themselves or to anyone else so we're left guessing what someone's real motive is. I miss actually getting to KNOW a character. I also get that Y&R lacks in the younger generation, I just don't recall many being fond of Reed or the actor, but we usually see the missed potential when an actor is leaving and they're actually being written for. It's a shame the younger generation is so terrible on a show with YOUNG in the name, that I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wow — we pretty much agree on both of these LOL. The previous Kyles never made THAT strong an impression to make me question this version. He wasn’t developed all that much before, which was part of the problem. This show can use some Adam-lite. This Reed actor was never going to become a teen heartthrob or bad boy. His best writing was when his character was introduced. Nothing since lived up to that. Im personally tired of storylines where one character slips another character drugs or alcohol. Been done way too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 The problem is it writes a viable character into a corner. Hilary currently suffers from the same problem. Modern soaps don't utilize multiple types of characters anymore. It's just single characters (usually one of each gender) being irredeemably evil while everyone else (who are usually guilty of similar crimes) is let off the hook.

Members ajsp35801 Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hilary and Kyle are the exact same character. Only difference is one is a member of a core family while the other has absolutely no reason to exist at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Oh, well. Maybe Hilary will fake a miscarriage when she realizes Lily is getting close to the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm dead. +1 I agree his (Reed's) best writing was being a typical pain-in-the-ass teenager when he was first brought on. He got on my nerves but it seemed fairly realistic. Teens are pretty self-absorbed and self-involved. Not all of them, of course. But Claire on DAYS and Reed were fairly realistic for a soap. Too bad they both come off as annoying and one of them shrill. My only issue is the Kyle/Victor alliance but it sort of makes sense because Victor mentored Kyle at one point when he pitted Kyle and Noah against each other at Newman, right? It's not TOTALLY out of left field, but I want a better motive explained. Why does Kyle hate Jack? Has that been explained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Was there ever any doubt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted April 27, 2018 Members Share Posted April 27, 2018 Guess I was holding out hope for some reason. It would have played better if they gave Hils a baby, but kept her as an independent woman, running GC Buzz and planning on co-parenting with Devon. Simone gets jealous, has doubts about her future with Devon because of the pregnancy... Why is an established character not being fleshed out but thrown under the bus for day player Simone?!?
