Y&R Summer Previews

[DeeeDee]

Traci hasn't always been a compassionate Mother Earth type.

 

During (and especially after) her first marriage to Brad, Traci became (relatively) more edgy and quite bitter.

 

Her being a bitch to Victor (given their history) wouldn't be OOC, if written with care (which will never happen, so....)

[Faulkner]

Yeah, the sickly sweet Traci is simply to create a stark contrast from her squabbling sibs as a plot contrivance when she’s in town. She had way more layers when she was written for full time and had romances back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. But she was also then written by Bill Bell, the master who created her, not Josh Griffith.

What qualifications does Mariah have to run a PR firm? So ridiculous. I fear a repeating of the Hilary/Mariah dynamic being written for Ana. So unfortunate. I know some folks like it but I just can't support Mariah in these folks orbit. They always get the short end while she's written be be better, smarter, more deserving.. They could at least keep Devon out of whatever they do with Ana and Mariah. I have zero desire to see him treating his own sister like crap to prop up Saint Mariah the way he did with Hilary. 

 

Devon and Kyle are written the same way. He was always apologizing to Hilary even when she was the one who was wrong.  I read Devon pays off Elens's school loans and she storms out. Lola is storming out over a proposal. Too bad Devon doesn't get the same airtime as Kyle. 

 

Dark horse had debt out if the blue??!!  They could have at least shown nick borrowing money for something prior. Such poorly executed stories.

Mariah really doesn't have any qualifications to be running a PR Firm. It's one of thing if Devon let her work at Power Communications, it's a whole another thing to let her run the whole company. Based off what I read from the recaps/and people who saw today's show already it sounds like she is actually getting Neil's old job at HW. I remember during the JT storyline after Victor was attacked Neil told him he would help Victor out with PR to help make Newman Enterprises look like a strong company. It sounds like Mariah will be doing stuff like Neil used to do, but I think music artists might be included. I could definitely believe she will be clashing with Ana in her new position at HW. I could see Ana continue to be written as difficult/unreasonable towards artists in general and Mariah will be written as the more sympathetic understanding person, who "advocates" for them. I am not looking forward to watching anything like that. But I do think that something like that will happen.

 

I read about the Devon paying off Elena's student loan and her getting upset about that too. I don't think that is a good storyline for them and I don't like that the show is still going with this idea, that a woman should be offended by having a man who cares for her trying to help/provide for her financially. It's not interesting, romantic or very realistic. 

 

And Kyle and Lola continue to be a disaster of a couple together. Kyle has become so weak around Lola. He's pretty much unrecognizable from the strong, confident man that he was when MM's version was introduced. I hate seeing what has happened to him since he's gotten with Lola. And they are so boring, and are on way too much. The show just be finding ways to cram them into multiple episodes. They should give that airtime to other characters, instead of constantly showing boring scenes where Kyle tries to appease Lola and they play "This Old House."

When you put it like that, it's even more ridiculous. In what world would Mariah get a job that Neil had upon his death. You're right. Her working at power in an entry level job doing PR for musicians would be one thing. The show could even hire someone to be their day to day boss. But to have her running an ENTIRE PR firm is absurd. I'm sure she said she wasn't qualified and he had to beg and convince her to take the job. Sickening.

Today's show that will air should give us a clearer picture, but from I read from the recaps, it sounded like she did mention that she wasn't qualified, but he convinces her to take it and says he believes she capable of running it. It is even worse that it's Neil's old job. IMO, it's wrong to give her that type of position in Devon's family company. It's not like she's his wife and/or has kids with him or anything. Or has a super strong connection to the Winters/Hamiltons, besides being his friend and dating him in the past.

 

And I could definitely see him siding with her over Ana, when they end up clashing more. Which I definitely don't want to see.

Hopefully, Adam will own DH long enough to change the company's name.

[Roman]

this show is written so a.ss backward you really have no idea what they are doing from week to week.  I expect JG to be gone once again this time next year.

If memory serves, wasn't Nick just thrown into Adam's story? like since Adam wasn't there the writers tried to make over Nick in his image?
