Y&R August 2021 Discussion Thread

If you are an actor and your character is going to be written as disappeared for a few weeks, would seem like a good time to go on vacation!

I didn't know they were such good friends. Haley played Abby from 2008-2010 so maybe they know each other from Y&R. Wikipedia says Camryn was making brief appearances then.

They made a mess trying to make this baby story happen. They should have put an end to it early on and gone back to the drawing board.

The way this Mariah story ended made the whole thing even worse. I was hoping all along that there was a red herring and the culprit would be revealed in the last seconds of the show (Friday cliffhanger). Too much to hope for evidently. This story may have seemed fine initially on paper, tying in all of these characters across the canvas, but the execution sucked bad.

Recent scandals aside how do Morina & Griffith even have jobs still at least creatively? They fumbled and lost Mealor & King, still haven’t recast Chance and right now there is zero storyline and direction for anyone on canvas.

I don't think there's ever been any storyline or direction during their entire tenure so far. Absolutely zero vision.

C'mon be fair, Traci is going to write a book based on Dina's life in Paris. This will be an umbrella story that will change lives forever!

I just remembered I have something much better than a GIF to describe the current state of the show 

[Antoyne]

Lord I’m like 15 episodes behind and y’all are not really making it seem like I missed anything 

[BoldRestless]

 

What scene was that, I don't remember it.

 

 

I'm behind and I almost want to watch now to see how uninteresting it is, if that makes sense.

The details are a bit fuzzy for me now lol but back in 2009 Daniel got himself in an art forgery ring that was run by Deacon, Ryder, and Daisy, and somehow one of the art thieves  in the ring was murdered and Daniel was accused of the thief's murder. The thief had actually been murdered by Daisy and/or Sarah Smythe(Sheila's sister lol) but they left a sloppy trail of evidence that Phyllis deduced they would find evidence exonerating Daniel in the GC landfill. Thus they all met in the landfill one late night and did find the evidence. Katherine & Murphy being in the landfill to assist Daniel & Amber's predicament was just a precursor to the helicopter they flew a few months later during the climax to the Sara Smythe story

Another one of their famous late 2000s "art" stories I completely blanked on 

[soapfan770]

It occurred during that messy period when the show had lost EB and MTS so you did not miss much lol.

I think the saddest thing about today's Y&R is that it reminds me of ATWT's final days where the potential is there but is definitely not being tapped at all and no improvement at all for the foreseeable future. UGH.

The Stitch resolution was as awful as I knew it would be. Josh Griffith cannot  write. Period.

Seriously, why did Stitch do this?
