Y&R August 2020 Discussion Thread

When I read about the shows returning and not having hair or makeup people I don’t understand.   I understand because of Covid but how many years have these girls sat in the hair and makeup chair?  Do they not do their hair and makeup other than for the show and after all of these years they didn’t learn anything or pay attention how to do it themselves?

+1. The hotel story is extremely pointless but I too enjoyed the Lily/Traci conservation. Also the scenes with Amanda & Elena weren’t too bad either.

 

Mark Grossman delivered as Adam remembered but again it’s pointless story. I almost forgot Theo & Lola were even on this show still LOL.

While I admit that the classic thread definitely is popping, I have to kindly disagree. I found it interesting that ALL of last month's threads average threads were around 7 to 13 pages. Not some. ALL. 

 

Curiosity is definitely a nice moth and everyone went to the flame to see what they would do about social distancing.

That said...it will be interesting to see if any of it holds up this time next month. 

 

I bet DAYS will. But the rest...?

Definitely there’s the curiosity factor, which was somewhat short-lived, especially for GH and B&B. I was just thinking there was a lot more discussion about Nikki’s wig than anything story-related, whereas every time you looked there was a new interesting discovery in the Y&R archive being dissected. The content on the current shows (with the exception of maybe DAYS, which is still showing eps shot before the new protocols) is just not engaging. It’s an ongoing trend that certainly preceded COVID. But these shows feel even more lifeless and sterile with everyone standing or sitting miles apart in odd geometric patterns. There’s no intimacy.

    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982.

    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
