SOD: 2018 Best & Worst


Recommended Posts

Abbots family drama started very well. It had alot of heart with Dina's illness. Then it devolved into stupid with a WTD for John Abbot Jr. Had it gone the route of Abbots fighting Winters for Mergeron on the grounds that Dina wasn't mentally sound when she sold it, then we'd have had something.

It was revealed that Ashley engineered the whole ordeal....John is still Jack's father. Ashley wanted revenge for the "blood-Abbott Clause" deal Jack made, so  she manipulated Dina into thinking  that one of her affair's resulted into Jack being conceived, and she also sabotaged the paternity test she and Abby ran behind Jack's back....she also was the one who edited Charlie's tape so it would show Dina revealing the "truth" about Jack's paternity. 

the whole thing was asinine.

It also sounds like character assassination (Ashley's) and smacks of rewriting (due to backlash over the initial paternity bombshell).

 

Yeah, Mal needed to go, lol.

Oh thanks for this. I had no idea this happened lol

 

Can someone please tell me why John Abbot Jr is allowing Phyllis to be CEO pg Jabot? The Jack I've known for two decades would never sit back and allow this. He'd be scheming and lying and sabotaging and making deals with the devil to be CEO again.

Awww c'mon - it was kinda fun when he thought for two seconds he might be Neil Fenmore's son - and then realized he would have slept with both his newfound sisters.

Or maybe fun's not quite the word. At least they didn't drag that possibility out for a month.

Well, as someone who used to enjoy these annual editions, well I mean... SOD still exists so they might as well choose the best of the worst. But I do agree with some selections. I like the category of "Biggest Waste of Screen Time" because a lot of DAYS' story arcs of the past few years do feel exactly like that. At the end, what was actually accomplished? The journey itself wasn't an enjoyable ride, and the results were minimal or not satisfactory, so again, what's the point? 

 

You know what, screw it, I go against the grain here with y'all on Y&R. JT's return last year, along with Dina's Alzheimers, Hilary in general, Nick & Sharon's reuniting, and Mariah's lezzy tendencies is what brought me back to Y&R on a regular basis after being away for 8 years. I'm still waiting to see how this murder mystery is finally resolved. And no matter what, I effing like Sharon. I just do. And I like her paired up with Jordi Vilasuso.... and I own it  ©JILLZARIN 

 

Of course, they had to single out Nancy Lee Grahn cuz the peeps at SOD love her. Meanwhile, are they still giving mea culpas to J. Eddie Peck for daring to say he was a lousy Jake Martin recast?  J/K

    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
