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?

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
