Y&R August 2020 Discussion Thread

[soapfan770]

 

Y&R came back with 2.69 million total? What a disaster. That last week they left in April the show had over four million total viewers:  Not even doing any type of promotional even obviously was a lousy idea especially with a low energy show right now. Sheesh!

Some people, like that...person who replied further up thread are why soaps are a dead genre now. They prefer their "hot couple" over character or moral integrity.

Hmmm. On one hand I’d like to see his good side but on the other at least if the spoilers are right we could have some drama.

 

I can see Sharon as a therapist despite her past because she’s come so far but not to Adam! I think they will go this route so they turn to comfort each other thru lovemaking. 
At least Mark Grossman is easy on the eyes! I think that’s my only selling point right now for this show.

I took a peak at a few scenes on YouTube due to boredom, but when did Sharon Case’s voice become so harsh? She sounds totally different compared to 10 years ago. I wonder if she had a nose job that changed her voice quality. 

 

The music cues are awful. The younger crowd is mediocre. Still refusing to watch live.

The return ratings are what happens when you return with no fanfare and no story. What primetime show goes off the air and comes back with no story? It’s insane. They should’ve promoted a season premiere and had real stories and a big return. If they stabilize even at 3 million that is a disaster long term considering ratings will only continue to go down. 

[Darcy]

Why did Adam do that to Sharon?

[RavenWhitney]

Grossman is looking rough. What happened?  

The lighting on the show is so bright now I need shades to watch.  Morina's worse than Mal Young re the overall look of the show.

GH/Y&R related...

Melody was on GH as a babysitter to Genie Francis' Laura. She mentions it in her SOD interview about her book.

It's taken all these years for that to be revealed.

In the days when daytime had actual clout, they would've had a primetime special as a sort of promotion or catching viewers up to speed. Or at least a few clips with Clarence.

[Chatty Cakes]

Oh Chelsea, you are so jealous and insecure. You know Adam still has feelings for Sharon!

[Faulkner]

The lighting is so bad. Nick looked so shiny in his scene with Phyllis.

[soapfan770]

You know, Victoria’s story at the very least would have been interesting to throw in a line about “in these unprecedented times” or something but the whole announcement came off as flat with Victor half heartedly mad. Sheesh!

 

 

If I didn’t mention it already but Nick and Rey socially distancing themselves at Crimson Lights and talking loud from each other’s tables was hilariously bad.
