Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 6, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2020 On a show like Y&R, considering the fact that Nikki, Victor and Jack's portrayers are all in the over 60s category and any entertaining storyline possibilities for Nick, Sharon and Phyllis have been pretty much exhausted (at least for the writers that Y&R seems to hire), I wonder whether this will force the show to focus on their younger set and write entertaining storylines for them.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 10, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 10, 2020 This is another "Is it just me or...?" type of thoughts but when I read this article, why was my first thought about how a fictional cosmetic company (Jabot Cosmetics) and boutique (Fenmore's) would handle these challenges. This is how I know I grew up on soaps! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/at-sephora-and-ulta-the-pandemic-is-changing-the-makeup-buying-experience/ar-BB15hxCm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it will take the soaps to implement the new protocols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted June 11, 2020 Members Share Posted June 11, 2020 Soaps have been doing this for YEARS now! Always ahead of the curve daytime is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted June 11, 2020 Members Share Posted June 11, 2020 For sure. Soaps haven't been about "love in the afternoon" for years because all the characters are too busy plotting to kill one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dion Posted June 11, 2020 Members Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I suppose we should be grateful that they're not planning on using barbie dolls, cling wrap and perspex screens like in that SNL sketch @Vee posted here 3 months ago!

Members GLATWT88 Posted June 11, 2020 Members Share Posted June 11, 2020 I wonder what everyone would think if they did podcast/radio episodes to keep the story going when the new episodes ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
