Members YRBB Posted April 16, 2020 Members Share Posted April 16, 2020 I see what you mean! And you are right - it's what Aback called the 'winning Y&R formula': There's usually a psycho on the show... sometimes two at the same time! It's to the show's immense credit that it doesn't necessarily feel like it was done too much. I think it's something that fitted the show's dark, gothic elements well and also provided a lot of "action" in a decidedly slow-paced show.

Members BoldRestless Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 So that's what they did with that intro! Good; I'm glad that nonsense isn't eating into show time. We got to see the whole ep last week in the NY Metro area... I don't know if that's just cause it was Good Friday or what... fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Members YRfan23 Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 Haha Yeah it makes sense now, they are just "Promos" but still a good idea...I wonder if next week they will air the 1996 one with Paul and Christine's honeymoon? I'm sure Doug Davidson and Lauralee Bell, maybe even Michelle Stafford will do a promo for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 I just think that was the first story where a woman accused a man of rape/harassment in a decade. It was insulting because it was a false accusation (many women still get the message they shouldn't report because they won't be believed) and it came right after the sperm saga, which I loved but I could see why it was considered a misogynistic story.

Members Taoboi Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 Well when you say it like that, yes definitely a pattern. But like I said, they did such a good job of making the psychos gradually that way or make them tick.

Members BoldRestless Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 My cable on-screen TV guide added a description of the episode today. The other classics just had a generic description of a soap set in Genoa City. Pretty cool to see Sheila mentioned! It says "David wears the same disguise as Danny to the masquerade ball; Paul and Lauren see Scott and Sheila." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) "Holly Hollywood and the Wolf" clearly being Marilyn Monroe and the Beast from the Beauty of the Beast is cracking me up. So is Esther trying to be a sexy French maid and then just scurrying to follow Katherine's coattails. The costumes are so cute and fun. This is great. Katherine, Rex, and that damn necklace Please register in order to view this content I'm suddenly back in my grandma's kitchen. Jeanne Cooper, man. What a great woman who could just do it all.

Members YRBB Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Pre-empted in NJ for Cuomo's press conference. I was going to wait to watch the episode b/c I'm on September 1991, but wanted to catch a glimpse of HD Y&R. A shame for those tuning in. Hopefully someone will upload just like last episode.

Members Faulkner Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 I know this is a crisis, but if Cuomo doesn’t get off my screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2020 Members Share Posted April 17, 2020 I forget that most of you get the show on the half-hour. Was wondering why no one else was posting lol Bruh, Esther is cutting up on this stage. Katherine loves her friend but is sitting there like "Look at this bitch..."
