Members celine12 Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I haven't watched the soap in nearly a year until Summer came back.. Y&R is so bad! The JT storyline is so stupid, I'm amazed the actors can keep a straight face. I noticed my least fave Mariah has become little more than wallpaper. Shick reunion, lawd!

Members ajsp35801 Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I see Charlie and Shauna and Hilary's relationship with her as more stakes than the story would otherwise have. There is no drama at all in newbie Shauna who no one in town knows or cares about coming in and finding out she's recast Nate's child. Olivia is 100% necessary for this story to be told sensibly. But they would have used Hilary in that role instead. She would be the one looking out for Shauna and Nate and fighting for their relationship and hating Shauna's mother for the lie. As if that makes any sense with her pregnant by and supposedly so in love with Devon. But hey, it gives her story so I guess that's something.

Members MichaelGL Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 Congrats Y&R, you had the WORST 4th of July episode out of all the soaps. That episode was a shining definition of whats wrong with Y&R right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 IKR? Remember when you could count on Bill Bell's Y&R pulling out all the proverbial stops for the big holiday-themed episodes (July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 A holiday episode with the entire Ashby family being all happy and giddy = BARF!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I couldn't believe the scenes at the pool when behind the Ashby's was a woman with her butt hanging out of her suit. Really???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xtr Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I enjoyed today's show. I really liked the scenes with the Winters family. I am continuing to enjoy Brooks Darnell as Nate. I think that he comes across as very natural and I am really liking his vibe. In particular I enjoyed seeing Nate interact with Neil, Ashley and the twins. And I lol'ed at the annoyed looks he gives Hilary. The interactions between them are interesting. I am also glad that there was confirmation that Olivia is indeed alive and doing fine. It would be nice if she eventually showed up too. And I definitely wonder what the backstory is about him losing the love of his life. I'm thinking something happened to her and he tried to save her life. But couldn't and feels bad about that. It was also nice to see Dina again. She hasn't been on that much as of late. I'm glad that Jack ultimately decided to put her well-being first today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 Decided to watch today’s episode to see Nate. It’s clear we were going to get a Devon/Hillary/Nate triangle if Mishael wasn’t leaving. I do like the actor though. Much better than the guy who played Jordan. Not sure what they’ll have him do once Hillary is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 He’s better than Jordan in every way. Hotter, more natural, more charismatic, connected to the canvas, etc. Probably won’t make a damn difference. Sheesh. Well, when the British soaps take big swings, they really commit. Can you imagine if Cole and Victoria had really been siblings and had a kid? Or if Victor and Jack were made brothers, with the implications for Billy and Victoria’s kids?

Members xtr Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I wonder what they will do with him too. I hope he sticks around. I am really enjoying him and the way he is interacting with other characters, especially his family. I also wonder what will happen with Shauna. Maybe she will move in with Lily and Cane. It seems like Lily has been acting more maternal with her lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 The kid turned out to be a serial killer. After coming back from the dead to make her mommy a grandmother, they killed her off again. Just in case you wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members celine12 Posted July 6, 2018 Members Share Posted July 6, 2018 Every two or three years Y&R gets a new writing team and their tenure always ends exactly like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 6, 2018 Members Share Posted July 6, 2018 I was just thinking this. I almost wonder if it's past fixing. I can't root for that though. Until it's gone I'm going to hope someone can turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 6, 2018 Members Share Posted July 6, 2018 Wow, Hollyoaks is such exploitative trash lol. I’m glad I gave that show a miss. But I digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
