Y&R february sweeps


Recommended Posts

Y&R lacks the patience or forethought to tell a story well, with all the details and beats, and rushes to unearned destinations. Other “stories,” like the Adam stuff, stay in holding patterns, yet we understand Adam no better than we did a year ago. Or ten years ago. It’s just a totally dissatisfying viewing experience.

I saw on Twitter a post that said in the latest SOD Recaps section that Devon will offer to be the sperm donor for Abby. One of the reporters from TV source also states they've known about this storyline for two weeks. I definitely don't like that.  I don't want him involved in that storyline like that. I also don't like Mariah being used as a surrogate for Abby. It's even worse that Chance isn't on screen when Abby is going forward with this. 

 

Devon already has enough going on with being torn between Amanda/Elena. And it sounds like Moses may pop up soon. He doesn't need to be offering up his sperm to Abby/Mariah to create a baby for them. And this doesn't even make sense. Plus how will Amanda/Elena feel about him doing this, Amanda who had reservations about getting in a relationship with him and Elena who still has feelings for him. He has enough drama with those two, that he doesn't need to be involved with this Abby/Mariah storyline outside of being a friend they can confide in from time to time in this story.

 lol, Darn. It really is awful. And doesn't make a lick of sense. Devon doesn't have any business offering to father a baby with Abby/Mariah, especially given he lost a child and the pain that caused him that he has romantic feelings for two women that aren't either Abby or Mariah. And he's starting a new relationship with one of them (Amanda). It doesn't make sense given all he's been through/going through that he would choose to donate sperm to a child he wouldn't raise. And I don't see how Amanda/Elena would be cool with what he's doing. I think that Amanda in particular would be really uncomfortable with it.

 

This would be less strange if Devon was single and neither Elena or Amanda were around. Though, I still wouldn't like it or think it makes a bunch of sense. Or even if neither Elena/Amanda were around and Devon/Abby had gotten closer after Chance disappeared. Like say Abby was led to believe he had died, and she ended up sleeping with Devon. And then Abby discovered she really could get pregnant. Granted people still wouldn't like that either, but that would make more sense than this storyline

 

I also don't like Mariah being the surrogate for Abby. It's not realistic. IRL Mariah would not be a good surrogate due to her never having giving birth before.  I dislike surrogacy storylines on the soaps (and in general) and this one big reason why. They often have a young woman who's never given birth before volunteering to be one for a woman she's normally not that close to and maybe has even despised in the past. It is just not realistic.

Thanks soapfan770.  It's nice to see you too.  I've been working a lot and haven't been around as much due to that. I am doing some catching up after falling behind on episodes and all of these latest developments seem rough, lol. Poor Devon. He shouldn't be used like this and neither should Mariah.

 

I do wonder where the show will end up going with this storyline. I wonder if this is all about giving Abby a child or is this some way to actually give Mariah a child and have it be fathered by a man she respects/trusts in Devon. I don't know, but I don't like to see Devon used like this. Or though I'm not a big fan of her, Mariah used like this either. Some people think this is foreshadowing that Devon will have a baby with Elena or Amanda and will rescind his offer to father Abby's baby. I hope he does rescind the offer.

This show is so weird. They realize that both Bryton and Camryn are popular and well-liked so they keep them employed yet they don't value either at all. Every story they get feels very begrudgingly executed, "Well I guess we have to write for fcuking Devon today.".

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
