Why is this completely ignored? He also caused her to get paralyzed, and THEN kissed Sharon while she was paralyzed. Like how is he not the bad guy in this situation?

 

Even when MM was in the role, Adam always preferred Sharon.

Random musing: I saw a  bizarre ad for American Girl dolls on YouTube and the title of the video was "The twins see Lily in Paris". And yes, the twins were black and somehow I immediately thought of Charlie and Matilda, lol. https://youtu.be/VoiQ7EAaCxg

 

I'm sorry but that was just too weird.

Dru, a ballet dancer once lived in Paris with her daughter Lily. 

Okay, well Lily's white but it's still a bizarre ad.

Is Lily Winters a businesswoman or a call girl? It's hard to tell these days. When did her character become such a trollop? The man is supposed to do the wooing, not the woman. Lily is just insecure and frightened to death of Victoria. That's why she always goes out of her way to impress a man who doesn't deserve her in the first place.

Looks like Sharon Case is the new Michelle Stafford.


Huh? Lily is a call girl and a Trollope because she woos her man and looks good in a sparkly dress? Is this a parody post?

 

My problem with the wooing scene at Society was seeing that the restaurant was AGAIN closed down for the night so that one couple could have a romantic dinner. Yeah, that happens.

Yeah if you want to get picky. Chelsea’s done a lot herself. She raped Billy, she’s a con...etc Her and Adam were decent together at one time but the sun has set on their day in the sun.

I find it opposite  I think Victoria is the one scared of Lily.  All she has is her job and fighting for attention from daddy. Lily is a  young successful woman with a handsome lover.

No it doesn't.   Adam right now appears to be guilty for attempted murder of Rey,  he's a wanted criminal, so not wrong at all, Sharon LOL!

  I don't think he's ruined, they are trying to, but Sharon is the real ruined character and to a lesser degree so is Victor, but he's being true to form really.   That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Y&R axes Rey, so they can step to 100% shipping of Adam & Sharon. That pairing may get to me to stop viewing Y&R.  It will at least make me fast forward all of their scenes!!!

Adam is a wanted criminal, but only to people who hate him and to horrible police work by Rey. The evidence is laughable and there’s ONE cop on the case — who shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

 

I don’t see Sharon as ruined here at all. She’s always had something unexplainable for Adam, she’s always loved him in some way. Victor isn’t ruined either.

 

Josh Griffith is sacrificing Rey to this story, and that’s a shame. Rey doesn’t have to be written as a stupid, vindictive cop. It would be a better story if Sharon were truly torn between Adam and Rey— but she’s not. Once Lola is off the canvas, Rey has no ties to anyone. That’s not a good place for a character to be in.

I am going to be honest and say that I personally don't think it is possible to "ruin" Rey's character inasmuch there really was very very little to him in the first place.
I don't think he had been built up, developed, layered enough so far for anything they write now to be "ruining" him. At best we are talking potential but he is a pretty generic unremarkable character.

Likeable enough as a romantic interest, I suppose, but it is not like there are years of careful plotting and character development to sacrifice here.

And I agree with ranger: while Sharon's sudden obsession with Adam again has been very poorly plotted and resurfaced too randomly, it is not a new thing.
The people who resent Shadam will have been upset when she fell in love with him not too long after finding out about the baby switch. That's the point where you might consider the character "ruined" (I don't agree but I hear the argument). Reviving it now doesn't add any extra layer of "ruining". It is just the same plot point, just told less well. I don't think anyone cares enough about Rey himself to decide to hate Sharon because she is breaking his heart or something. It had been a middling romance at best.

All in all, the story does not feel like it has enough stakes anywhere for me to be as angry about it as many of you seem to be. It is NOT a good story and it is NOT well-written at all. But it is also more blah-meh-groan than an outrage as far as I am concerned.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
