Y&R November 2018 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I watched the last 30 minutes of Y&R today (I'm visiting older female relstyves and they were watching so I had little  choice). I haven't seen the show in at least 3 months. I found nothing interesting going on. 

 

Why was there these long extended scenes of Rey talking about his feelings for an ex with Sharon? I thought JV was  compelling in the scenes but I don't care. I kept drifting off waiting for people I actually care about to come on. Has the show given viewers any reason to care about these folks other than using Sharon. 

 

What happened to Vikki's house?  Looks way different. 

 

Tessa stealing or scheming again? I'm sure for no reason. Mariah and Tessa should just end though I'd hate to lose the representation. 

 

I guess Nate and Devon are the new Neil and Malcolm.  Nate self righteous and perfect. Devon the screw up. I got I was supposed to think Devon was wrong but I didn't. All I could think was Nate needs to shut up and go. Devon slamming the door in his face was satisfying.

There's something I want to like about the Rosales family, but it's being forced upon us in a way it doesn't even feel natural. Not as bad as the Santos family on GL in 1999, but definitely nothing like the previous Y&R family introductions from its heyday. 

 

Speaking of which, in the past I'd love to see what reruns are running for Y&R for the holiday, but nowadays they'd most likely replay Hilary's death and/or Ashley's exit episode.

I like the Rosales family but I think they're being foisted on us far worse than the Santos' were on Guiding Light.  Mia gets one hair and makeup job in town and she's walking right into businesses left and right the next day and it's like she's everyone's best bud.  Well except for the 2 guys.  Rey comes into town and is pretty much immediately leading the police force.  Where in the world is Paul?  Not that I honestly care all that much - his character has been crotchity old man for the past 3 to 5 years.  But still...he doesn't even check in on the J.T. investigation?  Not that I care about that story either.  At least the other  brother was kind of integrated more slowly.  But I'll look at Jordi V. all day.  I don't know why they feel like they can only have one diverse family on the show at once....the Winters don't need to take a back seat just because they introduced a Latino family.

So, in addition to the Dark Horse set, Nick now has a new house.

 

From first look, they need to fire their set decorator. Again a random collection of cheap looking artwork and knick- knacks. The floor plan seems OK but the finished product is lacking. Jeez, all they need to do is check out some design magazines to see a classy masculine  vibe. And the whole macho feel with dart boards and bar etc. Yuk

 

Meanwhile Victoria's already modest house has been shrunken.

 

When was the last time we saw the Baldwin apartment,Newman Ranch or Chancellor residence?

I think the Winters back seat over the last couple months was circumstantial. 

Mishael leaving so rewriting story and regrouping dynamics with phasing out hilary, Lily, AND neil kept them offscreen.  If Hilary was still there, they probably wouldn't be even with the addition of Rosales. 

 

Seems Mal may have written another story with the addition of Anna. At the least, regrouped to give Anna the long  story he wrote for Hilary. 

 

And I know lane fans like to pretend the only Winters/Barbers are Neil, Lily, Cane, and twins. But facts are Devon and Nate are every bit of Winters/Barbers next gen as Lily. Question is though, can either Devon or Nate anchor that family? I think Olivia could help with that. She should be brought back.

And/or Harmony since she’ll have not one but two kids on canvas. 

To your point, though, Olivia might be better because Nate needs more shoring up than the other Winters/Barber characters. He’s a disaster thus far. So unlikable. Needs a lot of fleshing out and dimension (unlikely under Mal but still).

Harmony isn't a bad idea either. I wanted her back for years to free up lily from having to play the role of Devon's mother in his story with Hilary. 

 

Once Nate gets a love interest, I think he will be more interesting. Mishael leaving bout killed his character.

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • 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
