Members carsonfan Posted October 12, 2018 Members Share Posted October 12, 2018 I've enjoyed the last two weeks of Y&R more than I have in a long time. The actors have brought their "A" games and I am actually really loving the Rosales family. They feel like a real family to me and it's nice to see some different representation than just white rich people on the show. Kyle and Lola are fire and I'm already enjoying the Lola/Summer rivalry. I always love seeing the coven together and I'm glad that story finally seems to be moving. Eileen will be very very missed though Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted October 12, 2018 Members Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm not mad at the Summer/Lola rivalry. I love that Lola can give it back and I have feeling she's not afraid to get physical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 People say they're too stereotypical by mentioning food but Lola owns a food truck and I live around latinos and we talk food all the time. And I guess folks have never heard of Cuban tamales but Cubans do have their own version. For once it feels like the writers actually did some minor research.

Members edgeofnik Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 Of course, people would rip Lola because she actually is taking control of her life and career. We know self-made, independent women are the kiss-of-death on soap. It's funny because Dummer should actually be more Lola, but she's been reduced to a thirsty, blackmailing man-stealer.

Members Soapsuds Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 I was flipping the channels yesterday because there was nothing on tv and I saw Lola and Kyle together and I saw lots of chemistry but there needs to be more for the couple to succeed. Right away I liked her better than bland Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 That's the thing with soaps. Women who actually go to work and have drive are considered boring and the writers don't know how to write for them unless they're raging bitches. But we're supposed to admire the schemer they have wiping down counters just to say she has a job. Summer is working as an intern yet she's in the mix of everything in the workplace as a plotpoint to be close to Billy and Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm gonna go on ahead and guess that this would be because Angelica McD has taken a vested interest in how the Rosales' are depicted onscreen. They are her baby and the writers could feel that their jobs are at stake if they don't get it right. I do wish there had been this type of drive with every character on the show over the last few years-- Y&R might not have had the huge ratings loss that it has experienced.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 They didn't put this type of effort into with that first Latino family they tried to create a few years back. The brother and sister comb who Abby and Noah dated. They dropped their story before it even got started. The writers still have time to turn around Nate as his introduction was a mess. Hopefully when he returns to screen soon he's done walking around town giving out advice and being in everyone's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 13, 2018 Members Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm still dubious about the efforts being made on this show but for those who still watch, I hope so, for their sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LondonScribe Posted October 14, 2018 Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 2005 called. It says it wants its scene back... but we can keep the storyline, set and music 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 14, 2018 Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 Age is a bitch, Peter Bergman didn't get nearly the same loft with that throw as he did a decade ago. I hate that they're writing this like Jack is some victim. Jack is a bastard who had this coming for decades. If anything, it's delicious it was Ashley to do it. Eileen's acting versus his was just laughably superior. The writing really failed Bergman - Jack didn't have one decent rebuttal to what Ashley said.

Members Paul Raven Posted October 14, 2018 Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 We can quibble about Ashley's motivation/actions but I think Eileen was Aplus down the line. She made the whole thing work. Really Jack - throwing a chair?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
