Reposting in the correct thread:

 

It’s almost weird to see Victor with Abby, but he’s pretty much the only Newman she’s had contact with over the past few months. Weird that they’ve struggled to find things for her to do, yet have kept her isolated from her families, who are both embroiled in story. What a waste of an Abbott/Newman.

LOL I keep noticing that all Harrison is being fed is candy, brownies, cookies, and now cupcakes. No doubt Harrison will have a childhood obesity issue in a few years like those kids from that movie War of the Roses did. I wonder if Harrison’s nickname will be “Fat Abbott”?

Phyllis needs to take several seats. Tired of her carrying on about “my dawter”  How dare she question Jack? When she found out Daniel had a love child she went and found the baby even when Daniel had no interest. At least Cryle is stepping up for his kid.

 Fat abbott! Remember when Victor used to say Jackass Abbott?

I don’t care about Abby’s baby at all. Sick of Mariah wasted as a preggo.

There were also several scenes explaining how much he loves Mac & Cheese. 

 

Edit: It would actually be an interesting storyline if his parents plied him with sweets to spoil him to make up for the lack of a stable father figure and then argued over who is to blame for his health issues later. So of course that will never happen.

I've watched a few episodes of Y&R this week after seeing some scenes from 1999...

 

Good lord this show is dead. Nothing happens and there is no character motivation in anything. No intensity, no energy, 90% wide shots and few closeups, and most glaringly of all: no music. 

 

This show is so incredibly lifeless. Comparing episodes from 1998/99/00 to now are just shocking. 

 

The irony is that the episodes that are 20+ years old seem far more modern and like prime time television than what's airing now which resembles ATWT in the 60s. 

 

None of GH, B&B or DAYS are this dull - I've seen them all this week and Y&R stands out in how boring it is by a country mile.

 YES!

The only story with any momentum is the Kyle/Tara saga. This is a classic soap story but Josh is not playing all the necessary beats and characters are being twisted to fit the plot.

Summer is being made to look an idiot when by going along with Tara's threats instead of exposing her.

If Tara had been a little more subtle then Summer wouldn't have the ammo to go to Kyle/Jack/Phyllis etc

 

Everyone else just plays scenes that may or may not have any long term consequences.

 

The costuming is atrocious for some of the women. Nikki is put in overly tight dresses that do not flatter, Lauren looks like a hooker, Tara in pale plain silky fabrics that wash her out, Nina in that hideous green dress etc

 

The lighting is harsh and the set decoration super cheap.Every time I see that clunky sofa in the Chancellor living room I cringe.

 

I could go on...

    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
