Y&R December 2020 Discussion Thread

How in the hell are Billy or Kyle not interested in Sally? Billy would rather be with the bland and dull Lily? Kyle is into idiot girl Summer again? Sally is stunning and lights up her scenes.  The other two are boring.

 

Loved the scenes with Traci, Nina, Ashley, Jack and even Esther.

It’s crazy how boring Billy and Lily are together. They need to get Daniel back for her or try again. As for Sally, I just don’t think she fits in. She doesn’t click with anybody I’ve seen her in scenes wifh and serves no purpose on the show. I can think of several B&B characters that would be useful to Y&R, but Sally is literally the last one I’d think of.

If you have an "Amazon Prime" subscription, CBS All Access is available in several ways, and it plays better there than it does on cbs.com 
-- but follow these instructions:
If you already subscribe to Amazon Prime, then click one of the the episodes you want, and it will give you the option to do three things:

1) free subscription to CBS All Access for one week with limited commercials. (But remember to manually cancel it before the week is over, or they will automatically charge you the regular fees with whatever method you use to pay your amazon orders.)


2) purchase a regular subscription to CBS All Access with limited commercials.


3) purchase a more expensive subscription to CBS All Access with zero commercials.

Tricia Cast slots back in effortlessly, but I'm not sure they'd know what to do with a character like Nina if she returned long-term, not this iteration of Y&R at least.

 

The wedding episodes were nice and all (mostly for the character interaction and flashbacks that had nothing to really do with the actual couple), but it's not an actual storyline. When they retuned to the actual 'storylines' like the crap with Billy/Adam, I had no interest. Nothing on this show has any depth, and it just keeps on treading the same waters over and over again.

I’ve missed several weeks. Was Adam really a danger mentally or did Victor just not know what to do with him? I enjoyed the vets much much more than this current Adam stuff.

I wish they’d done something better for Abby and Chances honeymoon other than that depressing room. 
Summer figuring out what a movie is about is not interesting. 
Is Theo still on? Did his latest scheme take off?

Totally. Y&R does nostalgia and anniversaries really well (Neil’s death/the KSJ tribute, the episodes following Dina’s passing), but that’s not the show day-to-day. Y&R has such a deep roster of great actors we never see. Yet all those vets have to do is show up, and the show immediately  goes to a different level.

I won't be buying that new laptop until early next year (being stubborn and waiting for the price drop) and my current laptop is functional (barely) for only low-res tasks. I can't complain since it lasted me for nine years without so much as an upgrade. This is why I was mainly watching via phone but the CBS app is so bad.  CBS News app is also trash. I can watch programming in Japan in crystal clear picture quality with no lag but CBS drags, reloads constantly and more frequently stalls. I don't get it.

You're right, the browser was better but even then, it worked better on Chrome(which is a privacy nightmare) yet not with Firefox.

I once worked for a company that built websites for businesses, a few were behemoths. I just can't understand how a huge corporation like CBS can be satisfied with such  crappy apps.

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
