Members Paul Raven Posted August 17, 2019 Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 Take one of the few young male actors (Kyle) on a show overrun with over 30 men -(Jack,Victor, Nick, Paul,Michael, Adam,Rey, Cane, Billy, Kevin) and have him marry twice in a year, the latest to his'true love' thereby dooming him to storyline hell....

Members mango Posted August 17, 2019 Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 And a good young actor at that. I think MM is one of the stronger hires over the past few years: He's an Abbott, charismatic, easy on the eyes. Having him domesticated is wrong. However, with it being August, he'll probably be divorced again by December at the rate this writing and the show is going. There are no long term arcs.

Members xtr Posted August 17, 2019 Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I think he may be tied to Lola for a long time. I'm fine with him being married to someone, I just mainly don't like that it's too Lola. (Though it doesn't look good that he just got married to Summer a few months ago, and just very recently divorced her.) But I think that if Lola was interesting, I think his marriage to her could have been more interesting. But he bends over backwards to please Lola, and she's tried to change & has unfortunately changed who he is. Plus, she's always written to be viewed as right and doesn't really lose to anyone. I think that all of this causes Kyle's pool of storylines to be limited. Even when he wasn't married to Lola, he was getting very weak storylines because of the way that the show chooses to portray her. And now his secret from NY is really dull and boring. This Zoey girl wasn't even allowed to be an ex girlfriend of his. (They could have made her a legal age when he knew her in NY) because this show refuses to really have Lola compete with someone for Kyle's affection. IMO, when he married Summer and was acting like he might have some feelings for her, that was interesting. But the show quickly put an end to that and have him act like he didn't really care for Summer's feelings at all. And quickly dump her for Lola. They even went so far as Lola forbidding him to sleep with Summer when they were married. Unfortunately Lola has a tight leash around Kyle and she's choking him and his potential storylines.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 17, 2019 Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 Y&R's successive writing regimes seem to have a real problem writing a character who lives a single lifestyle, despite the fact that over half of the U.S. population is unmarried. Speaks volumes. Seems like he's even worse this time around. Last time, didn't he at least get people's hopes up with the Lauren/Carmine storyline before he botched it?

Members Khan Posted August 17, 2019 Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Lauren/Carmine seems SO long ago, lol. I'd be down for one of those Lifetime Movie-esque stories where Kyle discovers after getting married just what kind of psycho bitch Lola truly is. Like, baking-people-into-pies-at-Society type of psycho. Edited August 17, 2019 by Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xtr Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 There wasn't much interesting that happened at this wedding/wedding reception today. I did like seeing Arturo again. I liked that he tried to play peacemaker between Papa Rosales and the rest of the family. I liked that he acted a bit softer/more forgiving towards the father. I'm liking Papa Rosales okay so far, I wonder how long he will stick around. I also thought that Jack and Celeste looked good together. And the secret/stuff with Zoey from Kyle/Theo's past continues to be weak. Today Zoey showed up only to tell Kyle that she didn't have any hard feelings regarding him helping her in NY. That wasn't interesting at all. This secret has been a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 Welp, no surprise there or any other day on this show currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) This show really hasn't been that interesting lately. I think that Kyle and Theo's secret was a letdown. When I first read some of the script for it, I thought it would be more interesting. But it is very boring, just like the show has been lately. On another note, Tracey E. Bregman changed her hairstyle, lol. And I like her new hairstyle. Edited August 19, 2019 by xtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 Very interesting the choice of the re-run that The Talk ran today. The KSJ tribute episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 From what I'm reading, it looks as though Y&R are trying to make Kyle & Lola the new Cane & Lily, a forever couple who'll be stuck like glue no matter how dull they are. Still not seeing actual storylines unfolding, just couples and potential couples mentions, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponds Posted August 19, 2019 Members Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just wish the show would get rid of Tessa. She's an anchor around Mariah's neck. Let Mariah thrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
