Y&R December 2020 Discussion Thread

[Chatty Cakes]

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.

Lily cheated on Cane with Leslie's brother!

@rlj Lily and Tyler kissed, that's as far as it went.

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.

If you have a design laptop, CBS.com should work well. If it doesn’t, you already need a new laptop.

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.

So true.

[Forever8]

I'm beyond tired of The Adam and The Restless too.

[Chatty Cakes]

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? 

[Faulkner]

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.

Agree with 100% above. In a way it feels like the final years of ATWT when the show would trode out the vets for a wedding or a big climax and get good reviews for the episodes all the while the rest of the show  was completely crap.

Nina, Christine, and Lauren

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.
