When people post topics about most over-used plotlines or most over-used scenes...Y&R just did my biggest pet-peeve again - with Nick and Sharon.  They both are running to each other to "tell each other very important!  This can't wait until the wedding!  I must TELL you SOMETHING IMPORTANT."  In regard to gigantic secrets.

 

"Oh.  I just wanted to say I love you." 

 

Such a joke and so many times we've heard it.  "I just....I just.....needed to say I love you." 

 

And, if it were B&B, Sharon should already be in bed with and married to Rey, and Nick and Phyllis should already have been married and had another child.  Whose father could be Billy because her vagina will be teething one more time before she leaves him in one day so she bangs him before marrying Nick the next day.  Blah blah blah.  These 2 shows have gotten so bad.  B&B honestly always was.  But Y&R has taken such a nosedive - I don't care about any character on Y&R.  Maybe Ashley? 

 

I tune in and out.  What ever happened to the token South Asian/Indian guy Ravi?  Did he just disappear or not be mentioned anymore?

I don't think he is totally gone...someone will have to correct me on this since I'm behind. But the last time I saw him was for the whole Jack isn't an Abbot reveal. Maybe one other time since. But he might as well be gone now that Ashley is no longer with him.

I have to laugh because I can remember that intro interview as HW that Mal did where he swore up and down that his writing wouldn't engage in those old soap tropes and stereotypes that soaps use.

 

Seems like his writing regime has hit almost every trope and soap stereotype one can think of (I mean, Nick tearing off a mask?  Come on!!

Speaking of Young, a former Eastenders producer who writes blog posts about his experiences with the show talked a bit recently about a time when Mal Young was insisting he make a character give birth to twins...and then when they found out another soap was having a twin story, triplets. 

 

He stresses that he has no problem with Young and they got along fine but it just kind of makes me see why we are now getting incredibly stupid stories like "OMG JACK AND VICTOR ARE BROTHERS!!!" that a 10-year old would have written in a fan fiction back in 1985.

Okay, I haven't been following too closely, but I have to know: what is the status on Jack's "daddy hunt"?  Is Albert Miller REALLY his biological father?  Or is that yet one more red herring?

So the sets problem is so bad that Victor and Nikki spend all their time slumming at the GCAC or Crimson Lights?

 

i can understand Traci visiting Lily in jail because of Colleen, but to get information on dealing with Billy’s addiction? Why not talk with Neil?

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.

      I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it?

      Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.

      Glad you agree about Chandler’s smirking. It’s the reason I criticize him. He hasn’t grown as an actor, unfortunately. I don’t fawn over him because of his looks. I wish he’d never appear until he loses his smirking style of acting.  Dee is doing a great job but yes, the story with the bandages isn’t the best. I get it- Drake wasn’t available and its a throwback to how John came to Salem, but it’s tough to get into the scenes when we know it’s not Drake under the bandages.

      From that same channel, Anything For Love, which failed to make NBC's 1985-86 schedule. With all due respect to Lauren Tewes and Vicki Lawrence, that this was under consideration seems less about their star power and/or chemistry and more that NBC wanted its own Kate & Allie. Still, kudos to Lauren for being rehabilitated enough in one year to already go on the comeback trail.
